    • Profile Builder 3, Building Profile

      Hey Guys,

      I have installed a new Profile Builder 3 and I am trying to develop a profile for a building. Basically made up from residential bays components with balconies.
      With special start/end and corners. So I can draw a line in a plan and it will create a building.
      I tried to make it a couple of times but can’t make it work.

      Any ideas?

      Thank you,

      @fredo6 said:

      I would rather use Curvizard, which has a bulk mode to operate on all curves in one-shot and can both smooth and weld at the same time.

      Thank you it is what I need! Curvizard works perfectly.
      Do you know if there is a way to project a 2d road, but then make it flat ?
      Instant Road NUI alternative?

      Cheers

    • Smooth contour lines plugin

      Hi Guys,

      Just wondering if there is a plugin / extension which will smooth all contour lines I have got from slicing terrain (with planes).
      I am getting something like on image 01 and I want to get a smooth poly line Image 02, I know it will create more points.
      Or maybe convert to B-Spline using points as a control points for a spline?

      Thank you,

    • RE: Building Massing Blocks - Area Report

      So FACEAREA() doesn't work after all. ))

      Does anyone knows how to get a correct area from the component using FACEARAE() function?
      Redraw command doesn't update the area after changing component size via "User Text Box"

      I switched off scale handles
      User can enter LenX and LenY in a text box
      After changing the values of LenX and LenY Area is wrong!

      Also any ideas regarding questions 2 and 3?

      Ok, I have resolved the problem with Areas.
      Do you have an idea about 2 and 3?

    • Building Massing Blocks - Area Report

      Hi guys,

      Just want to check with you a couple of things regarding dynamic components.
      I am trying to make a Building block which will report all the necessary information to SketchUp report.

      1. Why FACEAREA() returns area which is 2 times bigger then it supposes to be?

      2. I want a user to be able to select Building Use which will change a colour of the component. It seems straightforward, but how to report not a colour but actual usage?

      3. Also is there a way to have a component name above it? So it easy to see where components with wrong names?

      I have attached images so its easier to understand what I want to get.

      Thank you!

      Area is wrong

    • Structural Grid Component

      Hey Guys,

      I am making a structural grid component.
      My grid lines are repeated by a COPY command inside component attributes .
      Just wondering is there a way to insert letters and numbers into grid markers.

      • 1, 2, 3, 4, …. for horizontal lines
      • A, B, C, D …. for vertical

      So every COPY of a grid will have next number or letter.

      Cheers
