Distribute elevation plugin
I've rewrite it from scratch (almost stoled). The previously Paste special & distribute plugin are no longer maintained but are replaced by two separate plugins. This one are Distribute Elevation plugin v1 . Is accessible under Furniture->Distribute elevation or an icon on toolbar. IMHO I think this plugin must be replaced by an missing option in main SH3D. How it work and what use for: Let say we have some stairs...
but is not quite what we want; we know the maxim high and don't want to make more precise calculations so: -select and elevate the last step to maximum high... -select all stair steps and: -this could be the result. Are more close to what we call staircase.
RECOMMENDATION: Remove PasteSpecialDistribute plugin. While I'm not a programmer use it with care!

Re: Distribute elevation plugin
New version 1.1 Reminder: This plugin distribute selected furniture at equal elevation interval. You will find it under Furniture (or corresponding translation) menu and an icon on the tools bar.
News in this version: 1. For users: -add the possibility to work inside furniture groups. That mean if you modify the elevation in a group of furniture (eventually generated with Multiplier plugin) and select this group, this plugin will modify the pieces elevation inside the group. The minimum of 3 pieces number remains as mandatory. -add Italian, German and Chinese translations (DeepL translator).
2. For developers and translators: Now if you switch the language the plugin will be translated without need to restart the application (thanks to Emmanuel). I've added pre-made files for all localization present in SH3D (18 files). A potentially translator (who want to modify or to make a new one) will find them under locales folder inside the plugin, initially in English. Their name looks like this: pkgDE_de.properties for German. What that means? -pkgDE=pkg+DE (DE=acronym for Distribute Elevation) -_de= the localization indicator (German in this case) -.properties= the file extension I intend to do this to all my plugins but with their specific acronym (or closer): SHU= Select Hide Utility RR= Regular Room GR= Generate Roof and so on. So, a translator could send me multiple files with the translation for different plugins at once. I also intend to use it as a template for all my plugins. I'm still thinking about it wile is not as good as I wish.
That's all!
