Note I’ve only enabled this tool for rectangular walls. After I am fully confident that it is working well and I’ve addressed any bugs or issues I will set it up for all the other (gable,shed and hip) wall types.
The steps to operate the tool are the following:
1.) Click the tool icon to activate it.
2.) Click any rectangular wall panel to copy the parameters of the wall.
3.) Check the boxes of the parameters you want to copy to other walls.
4.) Modify any of the parameters as desired (optional step). Click update to make the modified parameters “live”.
5.) Click on any wall panels that you would like modified with the “checked” parameters.
6.) Click the spacebar to terminate the tool or the esc key to reset the tool and select a new wall to copy.
Please try out this new tool and provide any feedback or comments directly to nathan@medeek.com
P.S. I’ve thought about setting up a copy tool for other assemblies however there are typically not that many roof or foundation assemblies within a project or model so this sort of tool only really lends itself to walls.
I think the new Copy Wall tool will prove to be quite useful. As I am thinking about it this morning I realized that a similar tool for Doors and Windows would also be quite useful.
I’ve had a number of people recently ask me for the ability to apply a wood grain texture to the lumber (ie. studs, plates, blocking, etc…) This really isn’t a big ask, so I am going to enable another couple parameters in the global settings (Material Tab) so that the user can apply a texture to lumber and pressure treated lumber. Here is a first look at what that will look like (compare the wood grain wall to the solid colored wall):
I’ve tried to be very subtle with the wood grain texture so that it approximates my default lumber color but as you can see it is a slightly darker shade. I’m not sure I am entirely happy with it yet but it is a start.
When I lived in Japan 30 years ago (two years as a missionary) I just remember the apartment was always cold and we survived with Touyu (kerosene) heaters and our Kotatsu (table with an electric heater and blanket).
Is the far side or left side in that image the exterior? With the likes of Passivhaus coming here to the US, you would think these details would be getting more and more universal globally.
I believe you are aware of this issue, but I struggle with it on a daily basis. I am a Mac user, and yes, probably in the minority. Maybe there is a workaround in MacOS, that I have yet to discover. The text in certain user interface buttons is just unreadable (maybe I have an undiagnosed vision problem, so be gentle ). Here are some of but a few examples:
Thank-you for pointing this out. I’m not entirely sure why the text in the HTML controls are defaulting to “White” on the Mac but I am looking into it immediately.
Added one additional parameter to the “User Interface” section of the General tab of the global settings. This allows the customization (color) of the text of the HTML buttons.
Wow ! Even more impressed, if that’s possible. Thanks from me and my eyes.
Will you incorporate this addition as you roll out new versions of the other extensions?
