I’ve mentioned this before, but casement windows are really basic and there needs to be a way to have two full casements on either side of a mullion.Have not used FlexTools after purchasing it a few months ago until yesterday after checking for updates.
Furthermore, there is no setting to change the door sill length, I’d like to request an option to change that.īut above all–it’s pretty feature rich at this point especially with the beloved multi-cut–we need it to just work better out of the box and I think that working with Sketchup would be necessary to upgrade this tool that has great potential. As a result, my door sill aka threshold sits under the door only and the fixed panel doesn’t have one underneath. SO, door sill auto-length is an issue–it doesn’t always auto resize to the total length of a fixed panel and a door. Thanks for doing your best with Ruby and the API. Although there was a learning curve–Flextools is definitely very fussy, I’m assuming there’s many factors contributing to this. I’m currently using the relatively new Glass Door tool.
The tools are almost always demonstrated by using the SketchUp scale tool to resize doors and windows, but I find that working method 99% useless, at least when casing and trim are involved. You have to edit the window components and tell FlexTools to exclude the trim or casing from the cutting action. The tools are designed to deal with them though.
It’s probably possible to save your own default settings, but it’s not obvious and I haven’t figured that out.Īlso, the windows and doors lend themselves to “punched” openings in masonry walls without casing or trim, which might be common in Europe, but not in the US where commonly (but not always) there are interior and exterior trim and casing. That said, what they provide is in metric units, not imperial, so for US users the default values aren’t helpful. You can also create and use your own components for doors and windows for use with their cutting tools. FlexTools has with each type of door and window tool, a dynamic component that is pretty basic and relatively low poly that can be adjusted and configured in a lot of ways like size and number of lites.
