Improvements to the Beam profile generator

emagdalenaC2i

As I mentioned a few days ago, I made some improvements to Neil Cooke's code to generate beam profiles.

With this improvements you can create as many profiles as you want in a Part Studio and copy & paste all the output code of the FeatureScript notice panel to the "entries" section in the Beam Profiles code.

Hereunder you can find a link to a document with the new code and an example of use:
C2C - Profile generator

I will create a video to explain in detail how it works

The example Part Studio "Perfiles EcoSafe" is part of our complete profiles library. There you can see 4 sketches and a Profile generator feature for each sketch. This is the output code:


Note: You don't need the extrude features to create the profiles. It just let you to create a derived part of that beam, place it and change its lenght with Move face.

Here are the list of changes:

• There is a new text field to insert the name of the profile
• The new features created will be named by default "Profile " + Profile name
• Units are set to millimeters by default
  
• The output in the FeatureScript notice panel are cleaner, show all the information needed to create a new profile in the right order. 
• I have changed the name of the command to avoid any troubles with the original code
