FlexTools Extension

More questions as I’m learning.

  1. Nesting and outline level.

Do the cutting components need to be at the root or top level of the model? It doesn’t seem so while experimenting in a little test model, but on my real world project it appears to be a problem.

My workflow involves making a component out of the entire building, so there aren’t any loose parts of the building at the top level. The number one reason is that I use separate files for building and site. (I’m not alone with this.) The building as a component gets loaded into the site and refreshed as changes occur.

I also spin the building to produce 45° shadows in elevations. (Example here)

  1. Do layers matter?
