_c_ Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I am tired of waiting for a fix that will never come. I asked for this functionality when the tool was issued, in 2014. Asked it again and again. It won't come. I need a way to distribute equally Curtain Wall vertical frames. I'd like to write a Distribute Vertical Frames command to be applied on a whole wall instance. Usually one would select them *one * by * one* then use the contextual menu "Distribute Frames". The selection of the vertical frames is a very cumbersome process that has to be repeated countless times during the planning phase. I cannot have a style for each wall length, so setting up widths in a wall style definition is not helpful. Does anyone have explored this already? 4 Quote Link to comment
_c_ Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 The vertical frames in the wall displayed below need to have equal spacing. There is no Vectorscript access to the frames. I searched rather deep. Does anyone know how to access those frames? Quote Link to comment
tdebicki Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That's BADLY needed! It should be the Default setting... it's easier to adjust from equal spacing than to equally space 20 posts manually! 1 Quote Link to comment
LarryO Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thinking aloud here. Write a selection script to find the identical children, ignoring location, within the parent. If VW does not give the the parts type numbers perhaps one can select one part and a script can identify and then flag selected all the other children in that parent that are the same size/length/orientation*. I guess the initial challenge is identifying what the program sets as selected (the child or the parent) and returns a handle to. *Do the children/extrudes have a common rotation like zero for horizontal mullions and ninety for vertical mullions. I guess another possibility is that curtain walls are a table of parameters for the parts and a routine that generates the image. Hmmm there might be no boolean selection flag/bit as we currently understand for each of the children. Quote Link to comment
