[REQ] Deck Builder

Krisidious

This should help a bit:
http://www.valiarchitects.com/subscription_scripts/instant-fence-and-railing

I have it and it does. It's how the rails were made. In fact I was hoping Chuck might see this and was thinking of emailing him the link. But, I'd like something a bit more complete.

2D boolean might help for the deck. Although it may look simple here, in case where the deck is getting irregular shapes it can get tedious copy and adjusting planks. Then you could make use of the extrusion method.. There's a PDF on how to go about...
It may give you some other ideas.

Like Pixeros link, you may have to use multiple tools for this..

That's how I do it now Jolran, I use a few different tools. Instant Rail, Create Joist 1001bit, Profile Builder or just simple Follow Me for Rim Joists and then editing of components for support.

But... If someone were to build something I would probably buy it.

jolran

Ahh. You got plenty of gadgets, I see..

It's quite a lot of work involved creating such a specific tool, I imagine.
Especially if keeping many options open.
Chucks plugins looks fairly close though. He might be the man for the job since he is well on the way.

Krisidious

I assume all these things you guys do are a lot of work... I wouldn't know the first thing. Chuck is quite close with his Instant Rail/Fence. and with his roof plugin I'm sure joists would be no problem.

lovely deck you got there! everyone is jealous of your massive deck!

linky for plugin?

Krisidious

It is isn't it?

I don't have permission to post it yet, but I haven't found any issues, so I'm sure sdmitch will post it soon and link it in this thread.

It seems to be a great tool to quickly get a nice big deck out!

olishea

I'm really looking forward to my deck extension.

It will be the biggest deck in the neighbourhood.

I will make sure I plugin my deck extension when the opportunity arises!

Box

I can't wait till Sd gets his big deck out for full public exposure, many people I'm sure want to get hold of his big deck. No doubt it will be an explosive and ecstatic release when Kris and Sam come out together with their big one. No point hiding it away in a closet somewhere boys.

On a side note, for the italians amongst us, would this be classified in proper foreign talk as a Biggus Deckus?

jolran

What the F.......

Did he do that in just a couple of days or has he been working on it for a while ? ..

I need to get some Amfs..

I started on Wednesday but you probably have a life. All I have is trying to fulfill a few of the insane request of SketchUp users.

jolran

Wow, that's fast!
