If you select a component, then right click, the delete command is greyed out (yes, I know the key is to NOT select it, but that’s dumb).

No option to review and select items to purge.

But hey, it never hurts to ask / put it out there.You can’t sort. Of course if one could customize / name the layer where you would this 2D swing / open door representation to be placed (as well as the glazing & framing) it would be the ultimate, but this will probably remain a pipe dream for now. I can imagine there may be times when you would not want the door swing representations, thus if it could be an optional on/off for this it'd be great. I suppose I could just copy / paste the swing and draw the extra line representing the door in the open position, but if it could be done automatically it would be a great help. The doors would normally appear correct on plan in the current open setting, however on parallel projection elevation one would want these closed, but when you close the doors to get the elevations looking correct you lose the door swing representation in plan again.Īlso the current method I'm using isn't ideal because I need to spend a little extra time per door to do this, plus I lose the dynamic component / interactive part thereof since I'm exploding it and manually rotating to the closed position. When using parallel projection with section cut (I use Skalp) the doors appear correct on plan, and the elevations as well with my work-around. That would be correct, needed when creating construction documentation. Halroach wrote:I imagine you need this for presenting plans? Can you post an image or a model of what the end product should look like? I think I understand, but just to make sure. So we're keeping the experience quite consistent this way. In copy paste situations, in most cases the placement is from the bottom left corner, no matter where the component axis is located. I wouldn't want to mess up the code for something that is really easy to do in Sketchup.Ģ. We don't want that!Īlso, thanks to SketchUp's super duper inferencing, selecting, moving, re-positioning one or a bunch of windows is really quite quick. I could theoretically design them to change the main axis, but it would probably add a lot of calculations that would give them a slower refresh time. In the first situation, yes, components are placed according to their main Axis, which in the Flex DCs is the bottom left corner. the origin determines how the component is placed, not sure if this is true for DC's as well.
