Moulding Boolean Convert plugin (MBC)
Continuing the YAUP series, I tried to create this MBC plugin. "Hell is paved with good intentions." "Half of the answer lies in how you phrase the question." "AI's depend on the NHS library." "If you have one watch, you know what time it is. If you have more than one, you will never know."
It 's a plugin with three actions under the "Tools" menu: -Add Moulding; -Boolean Operation; -Convert to furniture.
1. Moulding intends to replace and complete the Moulding plugin. -You can now select multiple pieces of furniture and multiple rooms to mould. -Moulds are now grouped by room and mould name. -You have the option to generate matching corners, also grouped. Some screenshots: Add some moulding furnitures Draw some rooms and select alls The result 2. Boolean operations mean union, intersection, difference, and xor with selected pieces of furniture. -Intend to be a new feature. -It's just a start. Use it carefully! -I've used the help of several AIs for this, and this is the most acceptable result out of about 50 versions. 3. Convert selected objects (furniture, walls, and/or rooms) into furniture. -This is intended to make conversion easier than the Copy as New Furniture plugin. -It is based on the Copy as New Furniture plugin, which, for unknown reasons, does not work for me. -It is limited to furniture, walls, and rooms under the same conditions as the Copy as New Furniture plugin.
Some things works but many others don't. Example: -the horizontal and vertical coplanar faces are completely removed. -operations with some simple objects (cube, sphere) don't work but work with moulding furniture library. -with some complex furniture run OutOfMemory Conclusion: There is a lot of work to do. Here is this alpha1 version.
