Extend built-in tool options.

[jc4d]

Hello,

Is it possible to add more options to a built-in tool?

Let me explain, for example I would like to add couple more profiles options to the Beam tool, but no idea if that is even possible.

For everything else there is literally the third button...

Just make a new profile?!

That third button is just a symbolic icon.

The profile can be what ever shape you have created in the Profile Manager.

Thank you both, yes you are right.

I was thinking that if you wanna make likehaving a double profile and have control over some parameters.

Something like this, where both objects are the same profile, not sure if I'm explaining myself properly 😅

You can create a single profile with two separate fills - they don't have to be joined.

You can also add modifiers to allow you to stretch H1, H2, Hgap, W1, W2 and even the wall offset (although for that it is easier to just place the beam at the offset you want).

I am assuming the profile is the end of those beams/walls.

Research modifiers in complex profiles.

For example...

And now the profile is stretchy in section/3D.
