Tool Functions
This tool contains a GIANT collection of tools for creating architectural elements. I’m going to struggle to get through all of them in one video, so I’ll run you through the highlights.
Specifically, I’m going to focus on the tools that create actual architectural features, though this toolbar also comes with multiple tools for splitting lines, creating guides, chamfering edges, and more.
This extension comes with options for creating walls along paths, along with tools that allow you to create openings in the walls that you create, as well as tools for creating windows and grilles in those openings.
The window creation tool is especially useful, and will probably change my workflow for creating windows in the future.
It has several different ways to create grilles and louvers.
Staircases are very easy to create with this extension, with several different styles and options.
It also comes with several tools designed to quickly create rafter and roof framing.
Finally, it has a tool built in that allows you to create a hip roof directly from a face.
All in all, this is an EXCELLENT suite of tools designed with architecture in mind. Even in the quick amount of time I’ve spent with this extension so far, it has at least one, maybe two functions that I don’t think I’m going to be able to live without.
Make sure you visit www.1001bit.com/pro to check out the pro version – it has even more tools, including tools for columns, foundations, profiles, and more framing options.
