Continuing the discussion from Automation Possible?:
Even though @kevin58 marked his topic as solved…
Recently I made a snippets for other user ( @Hanke ) , so I thought I’d add a few lines, because with a little work it could be good for this purpose as well.
So I created a quick and dirty plugin:
Dezmo_GlassStructures.rbz (1.1 KB)
It is mandatory to install TIG: Smart Offset v3.0 from sketchUcation to be able to use my plugin.
(You will be notified if it is not installed)
The plugin will convert selected faces to “Glass Structures”, described above.
Usage:
Right click on a single face, or make sure the pre-selection contains a faces, which are the desired base of the structure(s). Select a context menu: “Face(s) to Glass structure(s)” Change the sizes if needed at the pop up window and click OK to proceed.
You can undo it as one.
Every face will be converted to a group containing three other groups named “Inner pane”, “Spacer Bar” and “Outer pane”. The base face will be the Inner pane base and the push-pull and move direction is the direction of the face normal.
The plugin does not tested extensively. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
