I was going to suggest UCSFOLLOW, but after a test, it doesn't appear that UCSFOLLOW does in BricsCAD what it does in the other CAD.
It worked so far (v18-v19) for me and was my default setting of choice.
Unfortunately it h…
AFAIK
Windows are Blocks - referenced from another (Library) File.
These Referenced Blocks can somehow be brought into and saved in the current file.
So you could edit or exchange these Blocks for an inserted Window.
If you insert a Window it wi…

I think I would temporarily use numbered ACAD colors
and finally change these to proper RGB Colors at the end.
But sounds a bit like lots of room for improvements in
color handling though.
It seems to only lock when the tooltip is saying Polar - but very often, even when the mouse is constained to a polar direction, the tooltip says Perpendicular, or Extension or something else. Then Shift fails to lock (turn the tracking line red)…
I think that will happen by the 3D Constraints you apply,
Probably these need correct naming or setting for edibility.
I assume it may be the Clip Volume Geometry settings which
hold the overall Length/Width info (?) while the actual Window

Edit :
Oh, no, the geometry seems corrupt.
And it doesn't look really round (?)

Only the larger part is a Solid.
The 3 smaller parts consist of Surfaces and Regions.
But Stich Command worked for me for the 3 smaller parts.
Then you have 4 Solids that you can Boolean Unite.
But check that these 3 really touch the larger Soli…

The last thing you should do to improve performance is explode blocks.

Yes, and I think (?) Roys Software does basically the same.
So I wondered that you said it was so fast.
I think in my case there would be around 5000+ Blocks.
And I would expect that could need some hours.
I had similar before, but just a small …
I spent two hours doing what this routine took a few seconds to do on a very large drawing.
Interesting.
But basically such a program has to do the same steps for blocks
as I would have to do manually ?

Thanks Louis.
So you say Layers are still very important ?
I exaggerated.
Layers do not disappear,
but the way the UI goes, I think they get less and less accessible
to work with. That's why I assuemed they will also lose importance.

Ouh, is it so hard to reach objects inside of Blocks.
You need an own Software to do so ?
(I get scared when I see code lines ....)
I thought there would be an Option inside Bricscad to
Select ALL Elements (Solids and Blocks) in a file to edit

Ich denke das ist gut möglich.
(Unser NumBlock Komma kann man ja auch nicht zur Eingabe nutzen)

You can draw two opposite Edges as lines in top view,
pull one end of each in Z Axis up in an isometric,
use the Loft Tool to create the nonplanar Face between
both lines.

I may be wrong but I think both comments above mine,
from both users registered a few hours ago are SPAM
and the linked websites potentially dangerous.
I also had some difficulties to make my loaded Point Clouds

predictable.
I didn't look deeper in it though ...
It is better to model tha complete Wall Package as a single Solid
