Here's some ancient code I wrote once to make a "true" overhang, unfortunately it only works properly for buildings with equal width and depth due to the trig used to calculate the y-offset. You could always eyeball it, though. Or just change it to have a floating "tent" hovering close above the structure. attr overHang = 5 attr roofAngle = 30 @StartRule Lot --> extrude(1) s(20,10,20) center(xz) comp(f){top: Roof RoofOverhang| all: NIL.} Roof --> roofPyramid(roofAngle) RoofOverhang --> s(scope.sx+overHang*2, scope.sy+overHang*2,'1) roofPyramid(roofAngle) center(xz) split(y){overHang*tan(roofAngle): Overhang | ~1: NIL} Overhang --> t(0,-(overHang)*tan(roofAngle),0) comp(f){top: styleOverhang | bottom: NIL}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

You could also use a conditional rule with indexes, like so: attr startIndex = 0 attr endIndex = 0 @StartRule Lot --> comp(f){side:IndexCase} IndexCase --> case comp.index >= startIndex && comp.index <= endIndex: DoThing else: Stop‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ... View more

No but you can use Excel to build rules like that easily. For example, put =A1&": "&B1&" |" in cell C1, Index in A and rule name in B. Then just pull the cells down. ... View more

Ah. Then all you need is a little math. split(x){(minWidth+((minWidth*((scope.sx/minWidth)-(floor(scope.sx/minWidth))))/(floor(scope.sx/minWidth)))): X}*‍ ... View more

After you add the new folder just drag the cej files in there, they open with no extra relinking required. ... View more

Repeat splits fix the leftover automatically. Just do hard 2m splits, that way you'll end up with 5x2m and and a 1m leftover. You can also nest repeat splits, like so: split(x){~1: X. | {2: X.}* | ~1: X.}. ... View more

AFAIK no, unless there was some change in the last version. It's annoying but since you're automating it anyway, it shouldn't be a big problem. ... View more

You'll have to use Python, AFAIK. Look for ce.getObjectsFrom. Here's the command reference: Help -  ... View more

That does the trick, great! Additional info: when using an angle, this problem doesn't appear. I calculated it from the B-Split and then stuck the value in the A-Split. ... View more

I considered FVTP but that creates an extra layer. I need this to be purely visual. Which works, but only if I edit every single style separately.. unless there's a way to globally assign basic style settings to the layer. ... View more
