Now the plugin allows you to:
Below we described these new features
CommentsRevit API does not allow us to define the position of a dimension relative to an element. That is, when we see that a dimension is conditionally to the left (top) or conditionally to the right (bottom) of an element, there is no way to define this in code. This limitation resulted in dimensions placed conditionally to the left (top) being processed correctly by the plugin, while those placed conditionally to the right (bottom) were not.
We are pleased to announce that in the new version of the Dim offset plugin we have developed an experimental algorithm that allows us to determine the necessary position of the dimension relative to the element and perform text offsetting more correctly:
Since the algorithm is experimental, it may not always work correctly. This will not cause errors - the offset will simply work as before. If you encounter such a case, be sure to describe it to us in the support chat.
Also in the new version we have added a separate "Offset selected" command, processing of pre-selected dimensions and changed the direction of text offset for some cases!
Enjoy your work with ModPlus!
CommentsSimilar to other plugins in the engineering plugin lineup, the new plugin is also a collection of commands that in some way allow you to copy engineering systems or elements of engineering systems. At the time of release, the plugin has two commands:
We have demonstrated the work of the new plugin in our new video:
If you have any ideas about what and how else to copy when working with engineering systems, we are waiting for you in our support chat!
Enjoy your work with ModPlus!
CommentsThe most important feature of the new algorithm is the processing of elements that are not orthogonal to the axes:
And this is not the only change! Read more
