taoist Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It would be great if we could write a script to generate exterior corner boards. Be able to set width and thickness. Example: 1x4, 1x6 etc... 5/4x4. 5/4x6 etc.. How about Quoins? Spacing between Height Depth Amount of left and right (think sides and front) taoist Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yes that would be great. I have done this manually (with simple extrudes, in a discreet class) for a long time... Quote Link to comment
Joe-SA Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 This already exists. I use it all the time. I'm pretty sure I got it from Vector Depot. Joe Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Joe, If that is the one I am thinking of, I am the author of it. Was created with version 9.5 I believe. I need to dig up that code and see what I can do to tweak it. taoist Quote Link to comment
Joe-SA Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Still works. In the past year I've made the jump to having my finished CD elevations generated about 99% from my model. No more elevation drafting. Not crowns, not siding hatch, and thanks to your PIO not corner boards, either. Once I got a handle on setting line weights by class and using NURBS curves in all my EAP objects I got very good and acceptable results. Even surprisingly good results. Joe Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Joe, Thank you for your kind words. Working on seeing if it is possible to do the same for opening trim. You know EAP for trim. Same for Crown and base. We really should not have to go through all of that process. Will need to revisit VectorScript again as I have not done so in years. Again, Thanks taoist Quote Link to comment
Assembly Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 We have slightly different terminology in New Zealand. Can you show me an image of this looks like. I might have that tool made. Quote Link to comment
Joe-SA Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Are you asking for a CornerBoard image (the boards that cap the siding profile at building corners) or for a trim profile that wraps a window opening? or both? Incidentally, Vector Depot has a suite of tools known as Mouldings that does trim at openings. I haven't used it but it looks like it would be a great add-on. Joe Quote Link to comment
