"Medusa" gdl tool for panelling and complex geometry

Anonymous

Hi I'm developing a gdl library to make complex geometry and panelling. I have some progress but its not finished yet. Mainly you can panelling with component freely, rotate in space, change panel, define your custom panel. It has two edit mode: normal and edit. In edit mode you can cut the free form, in normal mode you can rotate the complete element and define atrac point. All the tool are graphical, no need to programming anything. Another two mode for modelling: free form and planar panelling. With "atract" point that change the size and the orientation of the panels... its more easy view in action that explain it:

In the free form mode (the first tutorial in only 13 minutes with explanation include):

I'm finishing it. I want to sell it for a very reasonably price.
Now i send the finish library to beta testers and very soon it will available at http://www.garquitectos.es. With some new options like LOD... I´m developing some new tools and some tools will be free like the rotator object (with this you can rotate any object in the space graphically).

This gets more and more interesting Jose. I'd really like to try the Medusa tool for making brick "jali" walls that are used in this part of the world.

Ah, my bad luck! Currently, I'm creating sections of the jali wall with slabs and saving as objects but updating - when the size of the module changes - can be painful. I think Medusa should work on less complex jali walls than this one, though. All the best with both tools.
