In the case of purlins, the ultimate would be for a line profile to be selected as they are generally 1.2mm thick and it makes not sense to create additional faces than needed.īTW, as for the version, can you advise what version is current? I have 1.1.0 registered to utiler. This would be fantastic to integrate into the rafters or purlins tool for such members as ‘I’ beams, ‘C’ and ‘Z’ purlins…. This would make the tool more flexible for use with structural steel buildings….Īnd another idea I note that the screens and grills tool allows for a profile to be selected. Overhang lengthĪlso, give the option in the dialogue box to toggle on or off rafters or purlins.All you would need is to write a script that asks for I love this tool!!!! However, have you thought about creating a setup tool to create the selection face to define the roof? I know there is a ‘roof.rb’ tool created by TIG viewtopic.php?f=153&t=3470 which creates the whole roof profile. This allows for painting a translucent material to a plane rather than having to paint both front and back… I think these need to have the option of a ‘zero’ thickness as the window and door functions do. Walls extend and clean up to the cut plane….Select faces and or edges of the top of wall.

Eg: say you have a roof of 5 degrees and you want the walls to extend and trim to the underside of the roof plane. I know you have an extend tool for lines but what I would like to see is a tool for lines and or faces to extend to a plane. Eg: select face first or set up function first. This would be much easier if the process was consistent across the board. I note that for some functions you need to select the face first then select the function whereas others require the function to be set up first then select the face. I have a few questions about a couple of the tools. I have been playing with the 1001bits tools quite a bit and find them fantastic!!! I’m glad I stumbled across them, I guess you are being inundated with requested and comments via the pushpullbar and SCF forums…. Firstly, pardon my asking but can you tell me your first name? Or is it Goh or Goh Chun? I don’t want to be rude and get it wrong….
