@ben ritter said: Yoni, Thanks again for straightening me out. I can insert Flex Doors without any issues. Can't wait for the Cutter doors to have all the same option selections as the standard doors. Glad it’s working The cutter doors have the same options (plus additional extra wall options). The rest of the options are one level deep, so you need to double click and select the inner component to get to them.

@halroach said: @ben ritter said: Thanks for the explanation to my questions. I'll try your suggestions and let you know. So, bottom line, if I want a door opening that needs to have an exact 24" or 30" or 36" door leaf, I will have to do some additional math or some trial and error on the overall dimensions, then measure the door leaf width/height? I believe so. You would leave the "Side Panel:" setting we mentioned above on "(a) OFF", and you would need to calculate and input the Total width of the door by adding up the following: "Frame - Width" X 2 + "Clearance - Sides and Top" X 2 + The door leaf opening you require. (24" or 30" etc.) Once you have that set, you can save the door aside into the "Favorites Library". (check out the star icon with a plus on it). Once it's saved, you can pull it back in to the model quickly by clicking on the Star icon (without a plus). One more note: You can change the default door that gets pulled in from the main toolbar by right clicking on the components within the Favorites Window... Thanks so much for your response s

Currently FlexDoor has a flat panel, though once you set the width and thickness of the door, you could always paste inside the panel component, which ever ‘static’ panel you’d like, making sure it fills the boundaries, and save it aside into the favorites. We plan on making various dynamic door panels in the future, though no date on that yet.

I would affirm the request. When looking at the component attributes, how is does one know what A), B), etc. refer to. A great plugin, but some tutorials would be helpful. Thanks.

@optimaforever said: I was using this favourite trick too already... I was wondering if a material slot in the FlexWindow dynamic compo panel was possible, just like in Profile Builder2... where you can assign an in-scene material on profile before generating it. I don't think a material slot can be added within the dynamic components window like it is in profile builder. But I'll look into it, maybe some other way would be possible. @optimaforever said: Thanks for the make default with favourite preset window, I didn't know. [/quote] Just note that if you've changed the default component, when there are updates to a specific component (new realeases etc.), the only way to see the updated component will be from the favorites! I got confused myself a few times not understanding why the update wasn't showing up... .

Hi Bob, For each Flex component, there are two component types to choose from, depending on the modeling situation. There are 'Standard' components and 'Single-Face-Cutting' components (Not wall cutting!). Standard: The standard components are the kind you can place anywhere, rotate them, scale them, move them - they don't stick to any faces, and they don't have any wall geometry included in them. They are suitable for if you have pre-cut holes. (So for the example you showed, where there is a pre-cut hole on the left, you'd want to use a 'Standard' component). Cutting: The cutting components stick to the faces you place them on, and by default they cut through a single face, as long as they are placed directly on the geometry they are cutting. They can be used in two different situations: For mass modeling with walls that have no thickness (single face). The cutting components cut through the face, and come with their own wall geometry. (You can change the wall thickness from within the component settings). This is very convenient for quick modeling of exteriors, where the interior is not important. In combination with 3rd party plugins, like 'double-cut', you can cut through double-faced walls (which I believe is what you were trying to do with the window on the right). Flex components and the double-cut plugin work together, but I don't feel it is a complete solution. There are still some issues that need ironing out.

Fixed the wall thickness issue! Please see the post on the main thread:

Hello! Thank you for reporting it. We had that issue in version 1.1.0. If you haven't updated to version 1.1.1-beta, you can get it here: https://sketchucation.com/forums/download/file.php?id=148934 Tell me if the problem resolved after update

@optimaforever said: Ok, sorry. I must be more explicit. I meant that the thumbnails help if they're be big enough (sometimes there are a lot of variants and it's difficult to distinguish betwern them). We'll see what we can do about the size of the thumbnails, and also how to optimize the interface to have more thumbnails and less wasted space. @optimaforever said: If one could define the snapshot it's even nicer as you can focus on the differences but one could imagine a folder hierarchy system too. Not sure if we can define the snapshot, we'll look into it. Folder hierarchy is a nice idea. we'll see if we can fit that in at a later time.

It's sticky be default, in order to give you nice flat icons in the favorites window. (I know that may sound rediculous ) If you have the 90* rotator on (in the manager window) it won't be sticky. That will be a bit difficult right now. Best if you recreate your presets/favorites.

Try the "frame guide" setting. Does that help?

Those are "bad slats" misbehaving! It's a feature... . Not sure I can fix that, but I'll think about it.

Ok. Indeed problem solved. thanks!
