FlexSlat - Dynamic Component

halroach

**Presenting FlexSlat - The second proud member of the Flex-Family!

Following FlexWindow, FlexSlat is also ultra light, simple and versatile – for quick generation of...
slat variations!**

To purchase FlexSlat please visit:

FlexSlat consists of the following components:

frame profiles
frame corners
slats (2 separate instances for optimized usage – see ‘economode’ below)
Sketchup 2015 and up

Usage:

scale or type in measurements
specify dimensions – frame and slats
specify spacing and rotation in X,Y,Z +- random positioning and rotation
set frame to 0 – frame hidden.
inset guide – specify distance for easy placement
frame guide – toggle guide visibility for when frame = 0.
offsets – to improve positioning
slat – length extension – extend slat edges until flush with frame.
slat – reduction – reduce amount of slats from top and bottom.

Interact tool:

on slat – redraw slat position/rotation
on frame – redraw all

Notes:

Y/Z rotations:

OFF – (‘economode’) – Y/Z rotations disabled. Component file size is kept to a minimum of 10 component instances no matter how many slats are generated.
ON – Y/Z rotations enabled. Each new slat generated adds an additional component instance to the model. Highly Recommended to ‘purge unused’ when done generating.
“no-dims” version included – for multiple component edits while maintaining original dimensions.
“drag-n-drop” version included – drag from folder or components library directly into model with no need to explode.
I'd love to hear comments and suggestions for further development & improvement
