      Hi all,

      I've completely re-coded an old script (2004) that lets you draw walls made of up to 4 different layers/Materials.
      Script options and commands:

      • list, create, delete save, load, wall styles, wether within the SKP or in external files for later use,
      • draw a wall segment,
      • draw walls from connected lines/curves/arcs,
      • draw a wall from a face with/without openings,
      • create openings in walls.

      It's here:

          Thanks for the update Didier. However, the wall heights worked for a few times and now they all have zero height. What might I be doing wrong. Where are the wall types kept (maybe I need to delete preferences???).

              Didier,

              You should be commended for not only a well thought out script, but EXCELLENT instructions in your PDFs.

              I wish this was done more for other scripts.

              Thanks for your attention to detail.

              John

                See attachment please.

                No matter what wall justification I use, resulting wall seems to be offset from line when using "Lines to wall".Example using a simple, 2-Layer wall (one 12" and the other 1" thick)

                  Hi John,
                  amazing... 😲 😳
                  I used your style in your file and... it didn't work as expected (because of the materials that have different names in french).
                  Is the error reproductible ? Is this happening in every model ?

                  Hi seasdes,
                  Wall style are kept within the SKP file as model attributes (so you cannot "see" them anywhere)
                  Walls heights: Is the error reproductible ? Is this happening in every model ?

                    Didier, did you try creating a new style using the English Version using your material names, then doing the "Line to wall" routine. Perhaps there's difference between the French and English scripts?

                    I get same offset result in all models.

                      Hi Didier
                      It is reproducable in all files and new ones and after rebboting the PC. Maybe there is a clash with another Plugin. I also use your plugin 'Justified Wall Segment Group'(JWSG) and find it extremely useful for every project. I have tried removing JWSG plugin but there is no change in behaviour

                        Hi Didier
                        I deleted all of the plugins except the Multi-Layers Wall Tool. My problem still exists.

                          Hi all,
                          Wall justification bug fixed (same link to download new release).
                          2PI/3 was muddled up with 3PI/4 😳
                          Sorry for the inconvenience.

                            Didier, is the updated version (2) the one currently on the server?

                            Here is my latest result after re-downloading. Looks like it still has problems.

                                    I downloaded the latest version and I don't think right-alignment works.


                                    MultiWall Right Alignment may have a bug.skp
