Beyond vertical structures, the extension helps with site layouts: tools similar to AutoCAD's "Extend" and "Trim" commands
| Tool Category | Key Functions & Capabilities | | :--- | :--- | | | Quickly generate walls, staircases (spiral and straight), windows, doors, roofs, louvres, floor joists, columns, and foundations. | | Drawing & Editing Tools | Includes utilities like chamfer, fillet (creating a radius fillet between intersecting edges), extend edges, and create curved surfaces. | | 3D Profile & Edge Tools | The "Edges to 3D profiles" feature converts selected edges into 3D forms, with preset profiles like I, H, rectangular, and circular sections that users can customize. The "Extrude along path" tool provides enhanced control for creating complex shapes along a defined line. | | Advanced Projection & Tracing | The "Face on Plane" tool allows for drawing and tracing edges of a 3D model directly onto a target plane, which is extremely useful for generating flat 2D drawings from a 3D model. | | Automated Wall Openings | Provides tools to punch door and window openings into walls. The "combined door and window frames" tool can generate and cut the wall, insert the frame simultaneously, or just generate the frame without cutting. |
Beyond structures, the plugin helps with site layout through tools for: Creating structural column grids.
Create single or multi-layered walls instantly. You can define exact thickness, height, and alignment profiles. | | :--- | :--- | :--- |
The plugin allows you to generate tidy, editable geometry that follows real-world construction standards by simply inputting desired parameters.
Architectural components are generated with precise, user-defined dimensions rather than approximated by hand.
