Flex-C Framing for copy along path http://www.flexc.com.

automatic framing of 2D floorplan layout.

hi Krisidious,
Thanks for your kind words!
Can you give some example on your suggestions? I'll see what can be done
cheers!

Enjoying the demo of this plugin! I was wondering if there were a way to have the rafters and such be created as component instances, or at least group copies? It would make editing a lot easier.

Thanks for all the work on this! I can't wait to see what you add next! (Decking? Brick?)

I design homes with Curved walls... Flex-C is a product to accomplish Curved Walls quickly in the field. ![common Flex-C Wall... 4"](/uploads/imported_attachments/a20a_flexcwall.jpg "common Flex-C Wall... 4"")

it uses a top and bottom plate that can snake into whatever curve you like.
bottom plate of Flex-C Wall

I can already use the Copy along Path tool to copy this Flex-C Wall unit along a wall path.

it would be nicer if I could use the UI Dialog to choose options for the wall. such as a double top plate or a header.

until a fix is added to 1001bit tools, you could use thomthom's tt_groups2comps.rb
it takes a bunch of groups and turns them into one component.

Thanks Kristoff, but Thom's tool only works with group copies. The rafters generated by the plugin are grouped individually. I'd imagine it would be tough to sort out on a big hipped roof as a lot of rafters will vary in length, but on a gabled roof or deck, the option to make copies of those rafters of the same size would be nice for editing and keeping the file size smaller.

Also useful for generating a cutlist from components

and useful for doing cost analysis... I'm going to love this tool...

hi guys, yes it'd make a lot of sense if quantities can be generated from this. Had been pondering about changing the rafters into component instances (i suppose having them each as separate component isn't really useful at all); they should be instances of a certain standard rafter type --> which can therefore result in something like:
1)type A rafter = 150x50x6m --> total 20 nos
2)type B rafter = 150x50x3m --> total 5 nos
something like that...
Haven't got the courage to go in an rewrite this yet...
having an option to output the quantities into a text file would be simpler to do

The tool Thomthom is working on is definitely the best solution for this
I'm working on more windows tools which, since thomthom is working on such a great tool, i don't have to bother with checking for already available similar components..

hi guys,
Have some fun with this (the window tool that cuts opening and place the window into walls)
This is of course really really early draft...
Just place the win01.rbs file into the Plugins folder.
I have plan to add a lot for options, and types of windows, doors into this
