Smart Insulation Object

Anonymous
Not applicable
This may be more a wish list item, but I would really like a smarter Insulation object as shown below.

Currently there is a stretchable insulation object that creates a uniform insulation symbol, and there is a cut insulation object that is not scripted and which distorts when stretched.

I really want a single smart insulation object that can be set to have a cut on either or both ends, with the cut line controlled by editable hotspots.

I know if I was a GDL guru I could probably script it myself, but I'm not and I don't have the time...

You find one in CiGraphs ArchiRuler.

Have a look to this (German):
Dämmung 1

There is a link to a download.
