The hard part would be getting someone to pull it off. The API can be a little..... limiting at times, Tue, 22 Mar 2005 22:11:35 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/alternate-to-the-internal-elevation-tool/m-p/48657#M8000 TomWaltz 2005-03-22T22:11:35Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/alternate-to-the-internal-elevation-tool/m-p/48658#M8001 <BLOCKQUOTE>Aussie wrote:<BR />Select a section/elevation line on plan and automatically extend it to the boundary of a (selected) zone (or zone boundary).

The Interior Elevation Tool itself is too limited (not "live" being the biggest thing) ... so automatic placement of sections for a live interior elevation would be nice.<BR /> <BR /> Seems pretty straightforward. The geometry of the selected zone can be read by an add-on, and the selected sections could have their extents (end points, top and bottom elevations and depth) appropriately modified.<BR /> <BR /> I'm a little busy for the next month, or I'd look at it more right now...<BR /> <BR /> Karl Thu, 24 Mar 2005 20:45:22 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/alternate-to-the-internal-elevation-tool/m-p/48660#M8003 Karl Ottenstein 2005-03-24T20:45:22Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/alternate-to-the-internal-elevation-tool/m-p/48661#M8004 I know the feeling too Karl <BR /> <IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/legacyfs/online/emojis/icon_lol.gif" style="display : inline;" /> Fri, 25 Mar 2005 00:11:09 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/alternate-to-the-internal-elevation-tool/m-p/48661#M8004 Aussie John 2005-03-25T00:11:09Z
