[Plugin] Generate Ceiling Grid (Updated 27-Mar-2014)
-
first,I need to speak sorry,and i get carried away for this plugin,because i believe this plugin is one of "BIM" plugins,BIM need details ,if this can done , I hope !
However,i must thanks sdmitch and everyone again,this plugin is great.
-
yea, being its occurring over several runs, it may be a variable scope issue where something is persisting which causes the subsequent run to make incorrect assumptions...
-
Sam, thank you. Good stuff!

Apparently all my test shapes have been at Z=0. Elevation does matter. Sorry about that.
Well at least I thought elevation mattered. I did a move/copy on a shape and elevated it. When I ran the plugin, I got the pulled down faces without texture, but when I created a elevated shape, it didn't have the problem. I then tried to duplicate the create at Z=0 and move/copy to an elevation and results were normal! What a lovely thing an intermittent problem is!!!
Sam, I had tried both methods you described, but still had the same issues.

Ok, I have done about all I can do with this plugin. I have tested numerous shapes including gullfo's and the plugin produced the expected results, with minor exceptions, without fail using all size,origin,rotation options while creating tiles.
zfrps, I fixed that "gap" thing for you.

Working OK from what I can see. Thanks so much sdmitch!

Create a surface option is not valid, how the choices that are surface
Choose, or have surface -

Choose, or have surfaceYou do have a surface now, you can place a texture on the entire surface, unfortunately I would have preferred to see the use of individual tiles as we had previously. I inadvertently over wrote and did not save the last script. Perhaps if sdsmith is not getting tired of this yet
he could introduce 3 choices: none, tiles, surface. -
You get the "surface" if you say "No" to Make Tiles. If you don't want the surface, simply delete it.

No matter how select all the options are in the middle, invalid!!!

I was mistakenly concerned that I would not be able to remove individual panels in order to create light panels. But that is not the case, the Surface can be intersected with the model (namely the Grid), by right-clicking the context menu. Now that the Surface and the Grid have been intersected, individual panels can be be removed as required, for lights. thanks again sdmith

The "Origin Pt:" selection controls the position. If "Corner" gives you the same
results as "Center" then you appear to be the only one. -

If Make Tiles = Yes, you get a group of tiles, one for each "cell", which are painted with the current material. If Make Tiles = No, the original selected shape is painted with the current material . If you don't want a ceiling, simply delete the "Ceiling" group.
If you seperate the Ceiling from the Grid, you will see this difference more clearly.

Thanks for all the hard work and updates sdmitch!
