Version 1.7.0 - 05.09.2021
- Added an option for subtractive geometry into the General tab of the Global Settings.
- Sub-groups within foundations and footings can be made persistent and "subtractive" by naming these groups to (subtract1, subtract2, subtract3, etc...)
Interestingly the code to make this happen was staring me in the face for months. I essentially took the "roof connections" complex roof module, changed up the logic slightly, simplified it, and arrived at this new feature/ability.
Notice that the subtractive groups cut through the rebar as well as the concrete. Certain other elements such as anchor bolts (groups within groups) are not removed. I may need to give this some additional consideration.
I guess we need to make this new feature available with the Truss plugin as well now.
