usage |
ExtendCloseLines is another in the series of CAD cleanup scripts. It will extend lines along their vector to hit their intended target. After running the script, you can see the two lines were extended straight down to meet the line at the bottom. There is another script on Smustard called CloseOpens. At first, it might seem that CloseOpens does the same thing, but it does not. CloseOpens ties together two open ended line segments. Running CloseOpens on the first graphic above produces the geometry shown below. See CloseOpens for more information. The red oval hilights the difference between ExtendCloseLines and CloseOpens. CloseOpens is more intended for use with site drawings and contours, whereas ExtendCloseLines is intended for arhitectural drawings. In other words, on an architectural drawing, CloseOpens is a more brute force approach to cleaning up a drawing, while ExendCloseLines yields results more in line with architecturally intended results. If you import Architectural-style CAD drawings, this script should certainly be in your toolbag. Install the script into your /Plugins folder. It shows up in the Plugins Menu. This script requires ProgressBar.rb. This script is one is a series of scripts that can be used to clean up imported .DXF and .DWG files. Also see: Updates:
