Version 2.2.5b - 12.10.2018

• Added the Extend function for (solid) groups and components. This function allows the user to extend a member to a single plane/face.

The tool also has the ability to handle fairly complex, prismatic beams etc…

A huge shout out to ThomThom and John (John_DrivenuptheWall) from the SketchUp API developer forum for helping me sort some of the issues out with the algorithm and code.

Extend Tool (3D)

Bingo! That works. You’re an absolute genius. How come I never knew about this method before? I’ve got other code (hip rafters) where I’ve added logic to remove other similar (but simpler) autofold situations, this will greatly simplify some of that (future work). Thank-you. I just replaced all of the code above with this single line: @group_entities.transform_by_vectors(@face_vertices2, @vec_extend_array) Boom! Done. Example of a W-Flange Beam extended to a face: [image]
