      hi Elibjr,
      wow, that's some nice work there! πŸ‘

      Someone asked me about creating standing seams for the roof of irregular shape.
      I used the roof tool, set the rafter width to 5mm, height to 20mm and distance to 200mm and uncheck the batten/purlin
      and here's the result with a single click:

        That's great thinking Goh. Now I have a quick wat to create a standing seam metal roof! I have really appreciated the "modify selected vertex on entity" tool. It's great when you want to edit an irregular object one node at a time to get the exact shape. The "create screen" is truly my favorite for creating a simple continuous ceiling grid with ceiling panels. Thanks again.

          We've just launched 1001bit pro, and inside there's a metal deck tool which can be used to generate corrugated sheets, metal decks as well as standing seams πŸ˜„

          Take a look at the userguides on the tools in the Pro version at

            Hi Goh! I'm a SketchUcation n00b and I just discovered your toolset. AMAZING!!! πŸ˜„

            I have one question though, I'm trying create louvers for a curved surface (since my building is curved and I'm putting the louvers on its south-facing wall). Right now I'm playing around with "View Hidden Geometry" and then generating the louvers on a per-surface basis, but it's taking me quite some time and doesn't look very clean. Is there any way to generate the louvers (both horizontal and vertical) from a curved surface?

              hi,
              I'm afraid there is currently no single function to generate louvres on a curved surface. What i would do, would be to use combination of 'extrude along sloping path' and 'linear array'
              Step 1: select the path (can be different edges, but has to be connected)
              Step 2: create a face on x y plane to define the profile of the louvre.
              Step 3: use the 'extrude along sloping path tool'
              extrude-louvre01.jpg
              Step 4: select the created louvre then use the 'linear array' tool to create multiple louvres
              extrude-louvre02.jpg
              extrude-louvre03.jpg
              cheers! πŸ˜‰

                hi everyone,
                Haven't been doing much programming for the past few months... my day job has been getting quite crazy lately.
                Anyway, I managed to work on the Panel Divide tool.
                Previous version has issues of either conflict or simply unstable.
                I have re-written the tool, and was hoping that this version works better πŸ˜„
                (this is a patch for the Pro version by the way. Once i'm sure that this is ok, i will write another for the standard version.)
                Just replace the paneldivide.rbs file in your 1001bit_pro folder with this one.
                Thanks and cheers!
                Goh

                  Sir

                  How do I tell what version of your software I am using. The latest version is 1.1.7 however as you can see, that is not what the info screen shows.

                    Ooops 😳
                    I have not been updating that version information!!!
                    (just uploaded the corrected zip file);
                    the info should show version 1.2 if your installed with the latest zip file (from the above link)

                    Sorry for the confusion 😳

                      OK, I have tried to download Version 1.2. And again, I have now 30 day trial version has expired. And when I send in for another authorization number, I get that two authorization numbers have already been issued for this computer. Dam right, apparently I need a new number every time you upgrade the software. YOU HAVE THE LEAST UNDERSTANDABLE UPGRADE PROCEDURE THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH.

                      So, one can not determine which version he has on his computer, because you don't keep track of the upgrades in the license info box, and when I do upgrade I have to go thought hoops to just get the software running again.

                      Dam, you have good software, just figure out how to do better with your license number. I went thought this not to long ago when I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.

                      Pissed I am, Ken

                      It shouldn't be this hard to do an upgrade.

                        hi Ken,
                        My apology for this. I was trying to make the loading faster to by pass the command windows and there seems to be a bug there!
                        There's an incompatibility with some of the activation keys issued last year which i have just realised. 😞
                        Sorry everyone, I am taking 1001bit Pro version 1.2 off for fixing for a few days.
                        will put it up for download when fix that bug.
                        Again Ken, really sorry about the inconvenience!

                          hi everyone,
                          Here's the patch for panel divider tool for
                          1001bit standard version:
                          paneldivide.rbs for 1001bit standard

                          and for 1001bit Pro
                          paneldivide.rbs for 1001bit PRO
                          (previous one has some bugs; please replace with this one)

                          on second thought, i recompiled all these into 1001bit Pro (v1.2); which also included the patch to
                          prevent the black command windows during loading and also speed up loading.
                          please download and try out from:

                            Sir

                            Mr Hee let me apologize for my bad forum behavior. Guess I should have waited before sending the above note. To all forum members, Mr. Hee has sent me a new authorization code that works and has alway in the past responded quickly and in a helpful manner. Sir there was very little inconvenience, just frustrations in trying to keep a desktop and laptop in sync.

                            Again, let me thank you for you very useful plugins and your continued assistance.

                              Hi Ken,
                              Thanks and please do not apologize for anything.
                              I am really grateful that you raised a very important bug, as well as reminding me the importance of clarity and ease of use.
                              If not for your comments, there will be a lot more people having problem with the bug right now.
                              and, for every feedback on issues, there are always a lot more people who are frustrated with similar issues.

                              Thanks again, and thanks for sending me your old key for debugging.
                              I'll try to debug this so that we can get rid of the command window that seems to slow down the loading.

                              Cheers! πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„

                                http://www.1001bit.com/pro/download/1001bit_pro(v1.2).zip

                                The update contains the following:

                                1. panel divide tool (re-written, should work better)
                                2. startup loading; loads faster and should not show the black command dialog,
                                  and also got rid of the request code.

                                  Cheers! I'll give it a whirl. I've come to the habit of having 1001bit disabled by default and only load on demand due to the load performance and flashing command windows. Now I might keep it enabled. πŸ˜„

                                            Edges to 3D profiles
                                            Extrude to target plane

                                            what an incredible tool kit this has become... well it always has been. how can you top yourself, when you keep setting expectations so high.

                                            instant tube frame or roll cage... just a few clicks and bang. and it lines up great. do you realize how much time I spent building the roll cage for my Nascar?
