[Plugin] Door-Lintel Update + Window-Sill

[erikB]

Didier, thanks very much this is really a very handy ruby !!
Now if there was an option for windows it would be fantastic. As far as I am concerned it also could be a 'standard' height for the distance of the floor and height of the lintel. This often changes during the design anyway and can easy be changed with push/pull afterwards.

ErikB, magic cutting_windows-script(by Didier...again ) will be useful for you!

It does nothing for me. I input a door height of 6', click OK, and that is it. The script ends.. The same thing happens whether the walls are preselected or not.

I just gave this one a test drive. Works Great. huge Time saver.

Merci, Mon ami.

[dylan]

Excellent Didier, thankyou for this

[Edson]

i managed to install it but i do not know how to make it work.

what is the 1st thing to do? set the door height? and then what? could you take me through the steps?

[dylan]

Edson check out ilay7k's post three up from yours. There is a link to a skp explaining.

Edson, I set the door height, selected the side of the door opening and then chose the other option in the plugin's menu.

[Edson]

this is what happens when i run the script. notice there is no lintel. the result was just the disapearance of a back face and the shortening of the wall on the side where i selected a face to start the lintel from.

[Dave R]

Edson, is that your back face color?. Try this. Before pulling the walls up, delete the floor so the walls pull up right side out.

[Edson]

thanks, dave. i ran some tests and the problem seems to have been the fact that the faces were reversed for the script to work. leaving the floor on was no problem.

[Dave R]

Edson, I knew that reversing the faces would fix it but if you had deleted the floor, Push/Pull wouldn't have resulted in the exposed back faces. Glad you got it to work in any case.

[enhorning]

I installed, it showed up in the plugins menu, all seemed well. I draw a simple floor plan and when I select a face and run door by embasure it crashes SU instantly.

Any ideas?

Hello Marianne!
Try to catch messages from ruby-console(open console, do some actions with script and look at console, what happens...)

Will be nice to have bugsplat-log with ruby?

Hi,

Of course, because the script uses the normal vector of the selected face to decide in which direction it has to pushpull the lintel.
