[PR] [0.18-0.21_pre] Arch Stair - More Geometry Control? Profile Generator

[paullee]

ArchStairs can be created without base object (e.g Dwire, Sketch etc.)... Railing is also automatically created for this case now.

0.18_pre ArchStairs.py attached below, appreciate anyone can test before PR.

0.17 version can be back ported if anyone interested (a few commits not yet back ported at the moment)

For stairs created without railing ... (or for any reason with railing)...

1. created in previous versions
2. railings deleted etc.

makeRailing() function now can (re)-create the Railings:-

1. Select the (master) Stairs
2. Run...

   Code: Select all

   import ArchStairs
   ArchStairs.makeRailing(None)
   

3. Then, Railings are re-Created, and are inserted in Additions

As I am not familiar with Gui, I can only add / tweak this function for Railing

Select the Stairs and Run the commands

Thinking if something similar to Arch Window - Arch Wall could be done for Arch Stairs - 'Arch Slab / Structure / Roof'? -

(recently there are some discussion about Arch Window and opening on Arch Wall...)

E.g. Arch Structure (as slab) could automatically create an slab opening if it host an Arch Stairs?
(or in other way like current Window)

Anybody (Yorik, Vocx...) want to implement?

That would not be too hard, indeed we can reuse exactly the same system. Basically:

- The Stairs object should have a "Hosts" property
- The Stairs object needs to trigger recompute of its hosts when needed (like in ArchWindow.py line 978)
- The Stairs object should have a getSubVolume(self,obj) method that returns a shape to be subtracted from host objects
- Maybe the Stairs object would also need a "Subtraction height" property, to allow to user to define the max height of the hole, like in windows
- There might be need for small further adjustments (ex. ArchComponent.py, line 537) to extend to other types (I think we could change that line to something like if hasattr(o.Proxy,"getSubVolume") so in the future, any object that has a getSubVolume() method will be considered

I will never help you while you keep doing this: why is the Report view and Python console using a Serif font like Times?! Why?! The report view should use a monospace font, like Consolas, or Liberation Mono. Why do you use Times?! It burns my eyes! Aaah.

? Anywhere I can set this ? I just download the *.AppImage and fire it up. Where can I 'correct' this ? Thanks for pointing it out

Thanks! Seem much easier to understand the system with this summary! I am trying to turn some ArchStairs methods accessible. See if I get lot of courage to attempt afterwards or leave it to the masters

Now, the 'multi-segment' landing can take curve
not fully tested.

Railing not yet
