Faces of the wall

Post by crackwood01 »

Currently we only have left and right option with the walls.

one of the Results is we dont get to have baseboard at the ends.

could it be possible to be able to get the two other faces options.

I'd like to extend on that feature wish, one I have on my very long list of wishes [:)]

When exporting a wall we get 6 faces in the export, Left start-side, left, left end-side and the same three for the right side. By editing the obj file you can get 6 different properties but it's no longer a wall when you import it. For a wall I'd like to see 8 properties similar to the properties of a box: leftstart, left, leftend, rightstart, right, rightend, top, bottom. That way we can texture each face while the object remains a wall. This will also solve the problem with the distorted textures on the wall ends. With a separate property you can adjust it for just the ends so it looks right. The separate top and bottom are especially usefull when you use a wall to create a part for custom furniture and it gives the possibility to make each face invisible.

Separating the properties might be necessary anyway if the wish from crackwood01 is implemented.
I never used baseboards but I would have expected the default behaviour with baseboards to include the sides.

Good for you, Keet. In a different way, I asked this around ten years ago... Curious if it takes another ten😄😄

Well, it's one wish in a list of 70+ I have. I don't want to make Emmanuel cry by posting the complete list all at once [:))]

Indeed a workaround. You could try to use Moulding plugin .

Well, I probably can program every wish I have on my list but the thing is I don't want too, at least not all of them. I don't want to program things that require changing the original code since that will give problems with new releases. Plug-ins seems the correct way and don't give the same problem and could only require updating the plug-in itself. Where possible I will submit code to Emmanuel for review and integration so it will become part of the original code.
