[Plugin] Flatten and Extrude
-
I surmise he means instead of flattening everything to z-o allow you to set it to flatten to z=123.456m. Easy done as it's in a group - flatten all to z=0 end with an option to enter a new z or pick a point and move the flattened group up/down to suit the desired z ???

That would move the top above the lines it extrudes up to. But it's just as easy to just to flatten down to a given Z level.
Anyway - thanks for clearing that up. Will see if I'll be adding that in the future.
Btw, does your Z-Level plugin expose the Z Height publicly? Wondering if I can read the value and use that as default if present. -
Frankly I'd keep them separate...

Someone's been snooping in the code, eh?
It just so happened to be the last book I read.

Nice idea thomthom. Things are busy now, but I will try the plugin in depth at the weekend.
For architects this is extremely useful!
Now I don't have to ask the Rhino guy to do it for me and to import it in SUBy the way,
I love the CookieWare idea! Whenever you're in Australia, please drop by for a beer... -
I yield
Just thought that muli-level flat and extrude might be a possible for structural elements and such.tt many thanks in any case

Multi-level flat and extrude? Could you care to explain more what you got in mind?

I tride this plugin .The groups in the group can't be faltten
Is it a better idea to flatten the group in group,and hold the group of faces?to build a city ,i always use clf_greeble_2.rb
-
Currently it doesn't dig into nested groups. It only works on the edges directly inside the selected group/component.
Will change that later. -

zorro tool is a good EXAMPLE -
Hm. My city has just stopped at 31% (and SU is unresponsive). But I gues there are limitations also (file size and edge count) so maybe I shouldn't be so eager and clean the file up a bit before I try.

Can you send me the model for debugging?

TT
It seemed useful to be able to flatten selected objects (groups components etc) to adjusted (TIG's)heights above default Z height zero.
Then select and extrude +/- as wanted.
A multi-Z height selection.
Just an idea for consideration.dtr

Been trying to find a way to triangulate Roofs from 3d plans. Will never be perfect, but "good enough" to do the bulk work and get a rough idea of the shape.
Think the name of this plugin isn't fitting any more. It's doing much more building than flattening. "BuildUp"?

Sure - see your PM (when I finish this post). But in fact, the file is still a mess as everything is connected with everything (street ends for instance are "closed") and also it's a rather large piece of the city (and where I cut it out from the whole city plan, there are a bunch of open ends, too) so no wonder it didn't really work.
Wherever I cleaned up a bit and grouped separately, it worked just fine.

And the roofing also looks promising!

you have a very cool roof maker from flat plan and many more roofs actions in 1001bit
(expand the roof menu)
