Anyone know if there’s a way to see the code for the C-Ext or L-Ext? I’d like to make an I-Ext scripted Geometry plugin, but have no idea where to begin…I want to be able to make I-Beams. Whats the best way to begin something like that?
Maybe I don’t understand right but there is the wideflange shape
(
local iBeam = WideFlange name:(uniqueName #'i-beam')
for p in getPropNames iBeam where matchPattern p pattern:"*wide*" do format "%.%
" iBeam.name (p as string)
iBeam.wide_flange_length = 20
iBeam.wide_flange_width = 10
iBeam.wide_flange_thickness = 2
iBeam.wide_flange_radius = 1
ok
)
Does that help?

Actually, I think it does…now I basically need to put that in a script that lets me click to create length, width, height, and thickness…
Hey,
I wonder if you ever made that script? I’m looking for a feature to create I-beams easily as well, any metal beam structures would be great. I’ve been looking for a tool online but it doesn’t seem to exist? If you found something or created something would you be willing to share it?
Thanks
