Is there a way to modify the corner radius of the rounded rectangle? Bulged rectangle? And how about rounded corner polygons, is it possible?
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply, must admit I had never opened the pages tray, as I thought I could access all the functions through the menu tab.

I have developed a set of plans in Layout with about 15 pages in one file. How do I change the order in which the pages appear, and is it possible to rename the pages? If one cannot change these things, I presume I must save each page as PDF, rename, then combine into one PDF. Or what?

Thanks,
Carl.

Hello,
My first post here, as I've been a recent lurker. Thanks to all for the informative posts.

This plug in is great, and I have a couple suggestions. I have been a design/builder (in the US) for many years, and here is what I would like to see:

We use 48" x 96" plywood, always full sheathing, and I always want to make sure that sheets are installed without cutting as much as possible. So the 16" (or 24") On Center layout virtually always starts from an outside corner, and the first stud bay would be 16" from outside corner to the centerline of the first stud, as shown below. This makes sure that the plywood breaks land on the framing. Note that the second wall also has the same dimension from the corner.

It would also be helpful to be able to specify that the layout started from the right side or the left. In multi story buildings, the studs need to line up.

I almost always use the corner detail shown, so I'd like to be able to change the plugin default (or know how to)

For basic materials takeoff, the most useful would be:
1: Number of studs, including trimmers at windows (length doesn't matter that much for me).
2: Total combined length of top and bottom plates.
3: Total combined length of windowsills, and the cripples underneath.
4: Total length of header material
5: Total square footage of outside sheathing divided by 32.

This how I would order the lumber, after adding in some factors.

Cheers,
Carl
