When I install building_tool-0.9.6 I get

and when I install building_tool-0.9.7 (master) I get

how can i fix it ?

Tried to install
Modules Installed () from '/home/nafergo/Downloads/building_tool-0.9.2-alpha2.zip' into '/home/nafergo/.config/blender/2.80/scripts/addons'

but but doesn't show in addons list...

This issue is the base for work to begin on improving fill types. We would like to add a couple more fill types and also provide a set of quick presets for common fill types and/or combinations of fill types. The image references below should act as a guide.

Window

Door

While there is no clear cut plan, the above images give a good indication of the direction we should be heading. New issues concerning this should refer here.

Task List:

• Diamond
• Cross Panel
• Full Louver
• Upper Louver
• Lower Louver
• Split Louver
• Half Glass
• Half Glass 1 panel
• Half Glass 2 panel
• Half Glass 3 panel
• Half Glass 4 panel
• Half Glass 2 panel horizontal
• Half Glass 3 panel horizontal

1. Proper validation of Add Window properties.
2. Consistent Offset properties. Offset values relative to wall.

Adding roof to building with multiface floorplan fails.
Regression from #27

create floor plan --> set to 8 x 10 size -->edit mode --> add floor --> select wall --> add window
---> array elements (set count to 8) --> fill type --> glass

Reported from #24.

Trying to add elements such as windows/doors to faces that are not quads throws NoneType error.

Ideally, this should fail silently or at least warn the user about the improper context/selection.

The railing module has quite a number of pain points. I have seriously thought about just completely removing it. This issue is a list of things I would like to change/improve in the module but due to time constraints or burnout have not been able to tackle.

These issues are not bugs in and of themselves, but they are tricky to solve, make the module less usable and are usually the source of most bugs

1. Its Ugly. All railings are blocky. My plan is to have some set of profiles that a user can select.

2. A lot of z-buffer fighting occurs in the geometry made by railing module. Adding margins everywhere this happens makes the code horrific. Look out for variables such as pad or pinch in the module.

3. When using the fill type posts, there is a lot of non-uniformity in how the posts are distributed when the face being operated has convex vertices. The reason for this deserves an entire blog post but in short, I don't like it.

4. The expand walls property. This is a hack solution to a problem closely related to No. 3.
   Again, I don't like it.

if it supports creating vortex groups for each component of the building, it could be more convenient for material setting. Creating vortex groups manually is very slow for each component after completion of the building.

Add detailed wiki to help users with:

• Installation.
• Creating Floorplan.
• Creating Floors.
• Creating Windows.
• Creating Doors.
• Creating Multigroup
• Creating Roofs.
• Creating Stairs.
• Creating Balconies.
• Add Fill tool
• Development.

Not Implemented Yet.

• Creating roads
• Using the curved array tool

• 1. When balcony is created on slab face, small gap is left between the railing and building walls.

• 2.The top rails intersect with the corner posts. May cause z-buffer fighting.

• 3. The open option for balcony railing does nothing, This option is meant to facilitate creating balconies on the corners of buildings. I suggest removing the option in favour of a better workflow.

Rails and Wall Fill types

• 4. The size of the rails in railing fill and wall width in the wall fill should be clamped to less than or equal to the corner post width.

• 5. Material face maps have incorrect names and invalid/no selection for post, wall and rail fill.

Hi! the tool is amazing! is not perfect geometry for games, but can be cleanned, the most stressfull Glitches I've found until now of all are:

• when Slab Thickness is set to 0 CRASHES Blender in its totality.
• Slab with an offset so it has to be zero out.
• Adding Floors in different situations crashes Blender in its totality. (also turns the top plane into an n-gon for no reason)
• Stairs not generated and crashed Blender if intended to be tweaked.
• Floor plans when Random can not only crash blend but its geometries are n-gons, so no use.

adding windows zero them out allows to generate the base for a general layout for later to be filled in. same with the door, that can be spaced in any place and even add windows thanks to the planes it creates: all of that requires cleaning due to the vertex and edges created. but I just wish for this tools to get stabilized so they can be used as a rule of thumb when making generic Buildings.

I Rate this Tools 3/5 CRASHES - I have to save the file every time I want to use one of it features and it only serves for a base for working on top. But I look forward to any improvements done to it!

Getting this error in both the stable and dev versions...Master just crashes blender when I get to the roof portion.

Plan to port for blender 2.8:
:: Should probably port before working on more features.

1. Adding objects to scene via collections.
2. New syntax for defining properties.
3. Matrix multiplication == @ in new versions of python.
4. Naming of operators to conform to blender standard.

Gable roof works only for plane aligned with x-y axis.

Regression from #31

Modifying size and offset property in stairs not working.

And when changing version "version": (1, 0, 0, 0)," then only Create Floorplan is available after creating floorplan.

new feature from the discussion in #24

When I try to install the addon for blender 2.8 I get an error.

And after that when I restart blender, the addon list is empty.

I'm on Windows 10 64bit.
I've tried the addon (master branch) also on 2.79, but the same thing happens.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create Floorplan
2. Go into edit mode
3. Select a face
4. Add Floors
5. In operation properties, set Slab Thickness to 0

Note: This happens only when some faces are selected.

Regression from #31. Absolute values for size offset.

I am yet to investigate this further, but the problem seems to be how we determine edge pairs with the shortest distance between them.

Ideally, I'd rather have the outset property create weird geometry if set too high to warn the user. If this proves to be too tricky, then catch the IndexError are return.

Proposal for a feature where we can combine doors and windows with a shared arch. This can be very flexible: triple door (just like in offices main entrance), door with a window, etc.

examples:

Regression from #31

• Enum Properties should indicate the what they are called and the current value.

The window property for FillType looks as follows:

The user has to click inorder to check what is the current setting as the name only states what the property is called and not what it is set to.

This is however not the case for railing fill types.

In this case, the user only sees what the property is set to, but not what the property is called.

Both cases demonstrate a clear inconsistency in how users interact with the addon, and what expectations they should have when exploring similar tools.

When adding an arch, it should be taken into account the height of the current element (door/window) and the height of the arch in relation to the size of the parent face.

Not really a bug, but a solution is necessary to prevent users having to tweak settings every time they add and arch to an existing element.

I am using Blender 2.81 and when I use this to create the building it works fine. But when I use the inboard Material Tools it messes up. I am in Edit mode, I select the "Walls" from the scroll list, then I click the Select, then it selects the mesh, I then select my texture, THIS is the texture I am using. I select it, then I click assign. But it doesn't assign the texture. This works with color and emission textures but not with image textures??? How can I fix this?

This addon looks realy great :)
Do you have any plans for expanding roofs? And custom roof types?

Any plans for arched windows and doors?
Sorry to submit so manu issues but I'm really liking your addon :) planning to use it :)

Task List:

• Flat Roof.
• Hip Roof.
• Gable Roof.
• Mansard Roof.
• Gambrel Roof.
• Dutch Hip.

This issue should track improvements and additions to the roof module and have the following images as guides.

Some issues that may need to be addressed first:

• [SOLVED] Some roof types only work if the building floorplan has a particular shape, gable is a good example of this.
• Roofs may also contain additional elements, the dormer roof in the first image is an example of this. Should the extra elements belong in the roof module or in another?

• Crash 1. Occurs when I add an arch and adjust the arch height too low.

This is probably an issue with how insets are created. Most likely culprit is function inset_face_with_scale_offset in util_mesh.py.

• Some windows disappear.
• Others expand vertically

• Toggle properties should not be contained in the UILayout that they show/hide

I can't seem to create several windows in the same wall that look the same. It would be great to create several windows like it does for building levels.
Right now, I create one after the other and because the width seems to be defined % it's not easy to get exactly the same width for a bunch of windows.

Corner posts rotated when balcony/stair added to rotated plane.

Is it possible to have a square layout but with empty squared center?
A layout with a patio.

It may be useful to make fill types a separate tool to address certain situations esp. when using the Multigroup operator.

Consider this first situation:

Adding Panels as the fill type leaves the window blank with no possibility of the user doing anything further with the help of the addon.

Another situation:

For fill types like Louver that work on both doors and windows, there is still a clear mismatch of uniformity. While this could be fixed with a density option, it takes away finer control from the user.

This situation also translates into the Glass Panes fill type.

Property Values for these two last situations can only be natural for either the door/window but not both.

This issue can be done in conjunction with #39.

support operations on n-gon with rectangular shape.

It seems I overreacted by discontinuing support for 2.79. There was so much hype for 2.80, it did not occur to me that some users would want to remain in 2.79.

Fortunately, I have discovered myself that there are perfectly valid reasons why some users are in 2.79 still, and I feel obligated to provide support for them. The addon thread on Blender Artists has quite a few.

The 2.79 addon will be maintained in a separate branch stable-v2.79. Although there are plenty of resources on how keep blender python code backwards compatible, I prefer to avoid all that mess and keep the code separate.

The original 2.80 port issue #2, is a nice guide for this.

I downloaded the current and past files and none of them work in 2.80 or 2.79.

I tried importing by going to preferences and importing the .zip, I tried extracting and putting it in the addons folder in the blender files, etc...

I get the same issue as #10 and I tried importing the v0.9.3. release into blender 2.80 but it didnt work

Face maps for door and window frames not consistent after #41

Adding more than 6 steps to stairs causes the above behaviour.
Top railing disappears.

Size and Offset behaviours for both balcony and stairs diverge from the rest of the addon which may be problematic for users.

• In some cases offsetting to the wrong position causes all geometry to disappear.

In the image below, geometry has been generated in the wrong direction, stairs are now inside the building.

• The balcony created here is larger than the face on which it was made.

Given the complexity of both of these elements, a better solution is required to keep the tools consistent and intuitive.

The addon does not have checks to prevent users from entering invalid property values.
Will need to prevent this with a combination of UI options and code checks.

This is a list of the addon elements and whether the checks have been made.

• Floorplan
• Floors
• Windows
• Doors
• Balcony
• Roof
• Stairs

Bottom of stairs can be of mainly four types:

1. filled (current behaviour)

Hello, under what license is this project released under ? I would like to learn Blender scripting from it. Thank-you.

Invalid behaviour for stair railing posts. Prefer one post on the middle of each step.

Adjusting(minimizing) the size of a multigroup element crashes blender with the above message.

Related to #2 .

Creating hip roof fails due to RuntimeError in straight skeleton utils.

In the above image for door element, an x offset of -0.67 was first made, then the element count increased producing the distorted geometry shown.

Similar to #43
