[Plugin] FredoSection

[fredo6]

This is a PLACEHOLDER for a future plugin, FredoSection

FredoSection provides several tools dedicated to section planes:

• Generation of section cut faces with hatching patterns at scale for section planes which are active in scenes.
  

• Section box: create a configurable set of section planes (inside box, outside box, custom section line) for a selection of geometry.
  

• Door and window schedule: create a permanent companion model with selected views of doors and windows, which can then be mapped at scale in a Layout document. This will be released in a next version however.
  

• Pattern Manager: This tool is used to create / modify hatching patterns and assign them to groups and components to decorate their cut faces created by the other tools above. FredoSection comes with a set of built-in patterns, but you can create your own.
  

FredoSection is mainly oriented to support a workflow Sketchup + Layout. It only works on Scenes. The hatching patterns are scaled by scene, so that they always appear at the same size when printed on paper. This requires that you assign a paper scale to each scene processed.

I published 3 videos to give an overview of the main tools:

Perhaps the best Fredo idea yet !
