Windowizer
-
Okay, based on responses so far, I've made some determinations:
-
This will be user-configurable in a separate dialog, as I expect it won't change very often - if you never have a wall thicker than 16"/40cm, it will never change!
-
I will add the grouping option to the main dialog
-
"Undo" will undo all windows created in that instance.
Thanks for the input,
-

Hi Rick, this looks great! congrats!
can a value of "0" be specified for the frame and have it therefore only build divider mullions/muntins? this way we would be able to use it to subdivide panels in a previously built curtainwall system?
Will it have the option to be only one sided curtainwall? the additional polys will be very heavy in the scene if they are not needed. I would then have to keep the old windowizer as I prefer the lowest polys possible... for quicker SU response and quicker render times.
Is there a way to make the grouping a component instead? one that cuts the opening? Say I picked 3 identical faces, and told it to make the window, and it were to make it, make it a component, and place the component in all three places for me... that would be powerful.

Yes

Yes, there will be a "front-only" option.

I think I could modify it to make a component - I'd have to do some research on instance placement (haven't used it for a while, so it's a bit rusty). The more difficult part is verifying that the faces are the same size/shape.

Hi Rick,
Now here is a ruby I use so often !! Even with its current limitations !
The update looks veryyy promising ! The answers you gave to Fletch are also just the things I need. Sometimes low poly, sometimes high. I usually make a group of the face prior to the windowizer command makes it more easy to change.
Anyway looking forward to the update of your script.
greetings,

For me, this script is essential. I use this thing more than any other script out there, by FAR. I'd be lost without it. In order: water, food, shelter, windowizer.

Thanks for the comments and encouragement. I've got some other eyes looking over the current iteration. After that, a couple of UI tweaks, and it should be ready.

really looking forward to this one...

I noticed that you have Catalan and no Spanish? How come?
-
Sorry, I forgot to say I already have volunteers for French, German, and Spanish, so I didn't include those on the list.

LOL for a second I though you where supporting some kind of separatist movement.
