      Less than 10 minutes to test and extrude.
      Plan "B" 💭

        Plan B seems to have all the walls at an angle..

          Right on and good call. 👍
          Just a sloppy vector PP but system works OK if one is not in a hurry. 😳
          FYI:Short strokes basics
          extrude line by 2 points
          select all
          pp vector (enter #)for wall thickness
          flatten to 2d
          make faces
          extrude
          cleanup

            Profile builder does not a bad job albeit needing some work

              Good call and you beat me to it 👊
              Note that every wall segment is now a group and now can be edited separately.
              (both width and height + openings etc)
              Exterior walls are generally different in width easy to edit with a pp.
              Could also have been selected separately with different wall thickness.
              One can Boolean selected walls together as needed too.
              Killer idea and congrats

              ☀ That's all folks ☀

              Thanks to you and Whaat

                Looks a mess to me. Sharp corners and walls leaning over. Am I missing something?

                    how about Double Line? you can set the width and height and trace it along the lines. testing on the detailed SU file took about 2 minutes for about 30% and the walls are all straight and even. downside - no grouping but easy enough to then punch holes etc.

                      Double Line cannot handle T junctions, only a simple path. As I pointed out that detailed plan is less than 1% of the total area to be modelled so I am not wanting anything that requires "cleanup". I was looking for a single-step solution. Streetgen gives that with virtually no cleanup required.

                        Right.
                        Since your walls are groups they also are 'solids', then performing 'union' gives good results.
                        But more parameters in the dialog box would be handy and useful.
                        Keep on the good work.
