Dynamic templates
Orderless capture
Roof templates are now « dynamics ». This means that roof’s points capture is orderless. Moreover you can view dynamically the roof shape during mouse move.
New templates
You can check out all the new templates into the toolbar. (Triangle, Roof terrace, Duch roof, …).
Roof “variation” was introduced to create “bented” versions of the major templates.
For some roofs, we allowed starting from eave or from ridge.
New features
Automatic layers
Default layers created when RhinoCapture start are now configurable. Theses layers can be associated to a GIS feature class of objects. Objects classes are also automatically created, whatever their attributes schema.
By default, the 2 usual layers/classes “Building” and “RoofPrint” are created. But this can be easily modified and extended using a simple configuration file.
Move / add vertex
Any vertex of a polygon can be moved. A vertex can also be added to a polygon. Both in a “coplanar” mode if needed.
Split polygon
Any 3d polygon can be splitted by a set of curves.
Import/Export ShapeFile
Read and write Shapefile (.shp) file added.
