There will be, I'm sure ;)

Microelly and I had a good chat last Sunday about a complete workflow from layout design to modeling to visualization. The pieces are there, but it's going to take time to put them together well. Yorick''s BIM work eventually be a big part of this, too. But that's in the far distance, I think.

Sure, I see there is discussion about Swept Path now - a familiar tool required in architectural modelling also!

Really? How is it useful in Architecture?

Yes, definitely!

Developing floor plan require from time to time traffic engineer to do swept path, like in a carpark, internal streets in a site!

Just stumbled upon this thread. This feature has been added to my branch when I implemented SketchExport, as you've already known. In my branch, the sketch elements are using the same name (but with different prefix for disambiguation) in and out of the edit mode. The ending integer (i.e. the 4 in ;SKT_g4) is the geometry ID, which is a new attribute (named ID) I added. You can match them (Sketch.Geometries) in a loop.

The Sketch Export Feature is one of those I hope it could be incorporated in the main branch immediately :)

I think it seems also solve another issue which I think is fundamental - consistent naming of edge component :D

Now, this may be the 3rd feature which is very handy for all those who are using sketch!!! :lol:


BTW, could it be something like Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].SubElement_INTERNAL_Index that it directly return the "i"ndex which save each user's code to write something to parse it?


Joel_graff should find this useful

I did notice this - wonderful to have the id number as an attribute of the actual geometry!

Hi, may i ask the status of this SketchExport + 'persistent sketch naming feature'? There are peoples drop into problems that I think these features should fix it :)

Thanks.

I will try merge the Link functionality first, and followed by the topo naming thing including the sketch export. Hopefully it can get into 0.19 in time.
