SlopedPlanesMacro

[Kunda1]

Oh
I see it's time to wonder how to get roof data from aerial views as input for these methods.

Hi @microelly2
I can see it as a reverse engineering task, which begins with the roof skeleton.
The approach of the SlopedPlanes macro only attaches the building from the contour.
What is cheaper?
1º) To complement the macro with a module which reads the skeleton and translates a angles series to the macro, or
2º) To implement all the functionalities following the classic methods of graph theory, and with a uniform and specialized approach all the way. There are several documents about the recognition of roof shapes ...
It's a very graphic and mathematics issue, out of my specialization. To be honest, I could collaborate but with a little amount of time.
Thank for your interest.

The alignments system is becoming more versatile

The computing time increases exponentially ...

But this 'curved support' is very basic. The issue has much more possibilities.
I'm thinking that I need an extra module in order to build complex curved surfaces. This feature will be delayed until the beta version.
The alfa version has enough work without this improvement.

the curved stuff is IMO especially cool!

Just wanted to mention someone could do fancy letters and numbers with this. I'd give it a go but I'm on mobile until Sunday.

until Sunday

too early for the letters. Wait until Christmas.

good morning @regis
I've included a property thickness and a property overhang, and I've increased the task panel optionally

I've included a Proxy flag to activate or inactivate the serialization of a lot of stuff. With the serialization activated, the editing process is a little bit faster. Finished the figure, it will be possible deactivate the serialization in order to obtain a little bit faster loading of the file, useful for scenarios with a big number of figures.
good morning @prcoy
certainly, it is a nice idea but at this stage, a big number of letters will break. It could be a little bit frustrating ... All is experimental.
good morning @DeepSOIC
I've improved the solver for reflex corners.
The next days I'll announce the alfa. Administrative tasks.
good morning @Kunda1
Thank you to everyone
