I'm looking for a plugin to replicate a 3D object along a path. I have a molding profile that I create along a shelf edge (or anything, for that matter). The molding accepts decorative, patterned inserts - a link astragal, for instance, that I need to replicate. The pattern repeats over a given distance, say every 6-8 inches, and the pattern is 3D.
Is anyone aware of a plugin that will accomplish what I'm looking for?
Thanks Jeff,
I've already been down that road which is fine for a single window or door, but I require more complexity. I require walls with varying numbers of windows and doors at specific x/z coordinates on the face of the wall. I can segment the wall to whatever level of complexity I need using your solution, but it's cumbersome and really not very flexible. I can also build a wall segment with a single hole and add connected wall segments to that, each with its own positioning of the hole until I complete the entire length of the wall. I think that absent some level of scripting, I'm not going to be able to get into the inside geometry of the wall to manipulate the position of the hole.
I'm trying to find a solution to the following problem.
Basically, what I'm trying to create is a DC wall where I can move, size, or hide objects on the wall, particularly objects that pass through the depth of the wall, like doors and windows.
Create a wall, for example 144x, 6y, 96z.
Create a square on the face of the wall, eg 24x, 24z and push the inside of the square into the wall 6" to create a hole, or window.
An example:
What I want to do is to manipulate the position of the window based on user input. Is there any way to access the inside geometry of the window to move, resize, or hide the window?
I've tried creating a group and component out of the just the window portion, but to no avail.
