Face to Framing Plugin?

[pbacot]

I was querulous recently about something similar, a way to array battens on a face, though this is would be more complex. Would you use the framing in construction drawings. I'd be interested too.
I've done some framing models for more complex or unique structures, but the stud work was just for completing the picture. That is, in my CD's showing actual standard stud layout is never an issue, whereas the builder might want to do it for himself. I know of contractors who model all their own framing before building.

I can't believe it's not already in 1001 bit tools pro.
some of his scripts already do the same thing just a little short of this though.

Maybe Chuck "Instant" Vali can develop it? Seems maybe like instant wall.

see this post

And generate Ceiling grid by Sdmitch ?

[Krisidious]

Yes I've used that tool for some things... But it won't frame out the house. it would be easier just to edit his draw wall tool results.

Any word on this Kris? Housebuilder is so close. With Hip roofs it would be even better. I think someone added some code not long ago that centers the doors properly too.

Nothing yet.

Exciting things are happening... more to come. stay tuned.

[Krisidious]

Are you excited? Because you should be... I have in my possession what your hearts desire.

Oh and before anyone starts going on about the corner it's just one I chose at random from the 8 or so exterior corners you have to choose from. Yeah... That's right... It does corners.

Ok, you've got my attention! When can we get it?!?

[pbacot]

Looking good. Many questions, but I'll wait and see. Thanks for your efforts!

[Krisidious]

Well, I deserve no thanks what-so-ever because I have done nothing. I'm not the one making it... I don't know when it will be ready for public but I think it will be very soon. I've been testing it and it works great. It's going to be a must have for the architecture tool box.

Commercial plugin ?

[Krisidious]

I don't know if he will charge or not... I know he's made tons of great plugins and I don't know that he's ever charged. Although I would definitely buy this one.

[jolran]

Cool. Meow ?

[jpalm32]

When?

[Krisidious]

He's still working on it... Corner Bracing and Lumber Counts added today.
