question regarding this tool...whats the edge tool, CorG tool and Misc tool?
Did I miss something?

Nice framer though.

actually...my work flow has been...

set a standard element height in parallel lines on all faces to be covered. In the model shown it was 2 inches...on the stacked stone I wish to model the stone is all the same ( some stone designs are not)

the length of the stone element is random.. ideally to be within a parameter .. 4" to 14"

I have been manually placing verticals on about 4 courses and then selecting them all and placing them as a group to finish all the faces to be covered in stone.

Then I used TIGs RandomPushPull.rb script. and indicated a .5" to 2" limit on one face at a time because it seems to like that better and it's easier to redo on face rather than all of them.

Dry-stacked stone has no grout so there are no spaces between elements.
The difficult part is of course..doing this to many faces of various shapes.
A cube is easy.

I want to select faces and stack the stone.

Anyone know of an .rb to draw a grid of lines/edges of a specified size on a selected face?

THANKS ALL

yes hatches are for 2D drawings...I downloaded the hatches with the textures too but the textures they had were also on 3D warehouse and not what I wanted. The image I posted earlier is what I want to make into a USABLE texture but its awful in its current size.

I though some one might know of an easy way to change it. Your 3D model of the accent panel is more what I had in mind.

Thanks anyway Kris

If he isn't developing a file for CNC he may as well model it in SU.

although...delftship would give him a cutsheet plywood layout as I recall

and the stl made by delftship is a lot cleaner.

I have no idea what to do with it now. it looks like their accent stone rather than the ledgstone

Thanks I had downloaded the DWG of realstones hatch but since I have my new i5 computer I have no way to open a DWG file
thanks again

I have an image of a stone panel veneer that I would like to mod to make it useful. Whats the procedure?
I considered modeling the panels (24"x6") Am I wishing?

it doesn't support layers either... hide what you do want visible

All great input..I will no doubt be tweeking the design after I meet with my friends..a couple in their late 60s and his MOM who is 97 I believe.

btw...the designs morphed from what my preference was...#1 to various attempts to add arms and make them work. I do like the split seat so one can be seated while sifting through the amalgam of left/right and missing gloves, hats and ice cletes etc.

Feel free to tinker with the designs.

do you have glass in the window?
I haven't been able to get any transparencies to work..yet

no, sorry I didn't have that issue.
I didn't recall seeing any thing on his forum about it.

OR....show me yours. I have to build one for some elderly friends with a budget of 5-6 hundred dollars.Plain Shoe Benches.skp

...as soon as my blind mom sells some more pencils down at the corner.....
movin on up!

no...really.

Maybe...but for now I can put lipstick on all my pigs.

I have been playing with kerkythea too....but I like working inside SU
