Thanks a bunch for Door Maker.
Very slick.

Just wanted to mention for the feet and inches crowd, that the ruby does use the units set by the user. Not just hard wired as metric.

That's good to know, thanks.

Thanks very much for the routine, it works very well.
Just the one comment.
Rather than Grouping the doors, could they not be one component arrayed about a point? This would optimise the model a bit more.
Otherwise, the level of detail & in the model & ease of use is excellent.

Does anyone know of compatibility issues or problems with this plugin for version 8?
I get continual bugsplats. I'm not sure what is causing this. This is one of my favorites.

I love and use this plugin often. However, is there a way to set the default sizes to Feet and inches? I am not at all familiar with the ruby programming, but I'd like to set the defaults to standard 3' x 7' doors with a standard frame and width and no material colors. Could those values be highlighted in the script for changing?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Thanks Glenn!
I'll give it a try.

i have my "personalized version" (meaning use it at your own risk) set to imperial plus i made some adjustments - added a settable value for the push plate width since it causes an offset on the panels and glass, and i paint the back of the glass with the door-glass material so it's transparent on both sides. these last two items i'd like to see added to the original copy (as well as an option to select imperial or metric).

update note: i also rem'd out the half-door stuff because it wasn't fully baked but it might be easier if the script simply too a double side door and shifted the center-line (meaning one side is smaller than the other...) i also took out the mm conversion items used because with imperial it wasn't needed...

modified version of doormaker.rb

DoorMaker.rbI made some basic revisions to this myself to set different default settings.
Thanks,

paul,

DoorMaker is an invaluable plugin and I use it a lot. but there is one thing that I do not like about it: the fact that the geometry that make up frames and leaves does not remain on Layer 0. is there a way to change it?

another thing that would be useful is to be able to decide the position of the door leaf at creation so that one does not have to delete the unwanted door positions afterwards.

thanks again for a great plugin.

Paul Russam

Hello all,
I'd love to be able to help but to be honest this is the only plugin I ever wrote and looking at the code now I cant remember anything about Ruby

If anybody want to pick it up and run with it I'm more than happy for them to do so.

Sorry.

markitekt

No problem Paul. You have forgotten more Ruby than I'll ever know.
Guess we'll have to leave it up to other interested parties.
Thanks,
Mark

Unfortunately Doormaker.rb which I use most days malfunctions when used in SU2014Pro.
On initial startup if you don't change any of the option selections Door Maker inserts a simple door correctly.
It will also accept different sizes for frame/leaf etc.
Select any of the rebate options; panel types; kicker; nameplate options and it only creates an outline of the door.

Shame cos it's one of my must have plugins....

Anybody have the time and inclination to look at this with Ruby 2?

I have updated the script to v2.1 which will now be compatible with v2014.
I also took the opportunity to module-ize it and swap the hundreds of $ variables for @ and enduring @@ ones.
Get it from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DoorMaker

Hi Paul, I love this script it saves so much time.

A question though, can the width of the door leaf where the handle sits be changed to match the other side? In most residential doors these are equal, well here in the UK at least.
Also the doors always appear relative to the red axis, is there a way to set them on the green?
I have looked in your instructions but can't see if this is documented anywhere.

All the best
Joe.
