Fast Flat v0.9.1


Recommended Posts

Good point.  I'll take a look at it again.  The last request in this thread was to not force the classes on the user.  And in my own entertainment and especially architectural drawing, I HATE classes that come into the drawing unbidden and mess up my navigation palette.

Thanks for all your feedback, Peter.  If you hadn't pointed out what a hot mess this tool was in metric it would have never gotten fixed.

 

I went round and round on this same issue with my little seating chart tool.  Not sure if I made the right decision.  I might have ended up with half the baby.  By default classes are created for all the different data types, but then they are not assigned.

 

The way I use the tool, it's almost useless without assigning the standard classes, but I'm cautious about forcing classes.

If you're trying to figure out the relationship between the height of the brace and the height of the flat, I couldn't remember it either so I just looked it up.

 

It checks the height of the flat.  If the height of the flat is under 4 feet, it just uses the height of the flat.  If the height of the flat 4 feet or more it subtracts 1 foot from the flat height.

 

So a flat that is exactly 4' tall will have a shorter brace that a flat that is 3'11".  Sigh.

 

That sounds like a terrible way to do that  :-).  Especially for the majority of the world that uses a rational measuring system.

I don't remember making that worksheet :-).  

 

Can you show me where you found it?

 

The OG flat tool had a material list built in because one person was interested in having it for quick budgeting.  I didn't include it in the new version, but I'm collecting a list of requested features.  So if you think it's useful I'll put it back.

 

Textures are applied by class.  There is a class for the "cover" which is the face of the flat.  Set a class in the OIP and it will use the texture from that class definition.

 

If that doesn't make sense (and I bet it doesn't :-), post back and I'll explain better.
