2D Views - Show Island Elevations #176

Open TedCC1209 opened 4 years ago

TedCC1209 commented 4 years ago

Right now 2D views only render what is on walls. We need elevations of islands as well--Let's have islands be on their own separate page and have all elevations of the island (4 elevations if the island is standing alone, 3 elevations if it against a wall--i.e., a peninsula) on the one page. Peninsulas need to be shown as dotted lines/cross sections on the elevation of the wall they are touching. This one is going to take quite a bit of work and configuration I think, so let's collaborate on this.

So it looks like we can already add island elevations:

I will have to play around with it though to see its capabilities.

@sarahhightower can likely explain this better, so please correct me where I am wrong and add things that I am missing.

Currently we can "Append to View" for islands, but the 2D Views of Islands are extremely limited as it what it actually exports. I think the Plan view is okay? But elevation-wise it looks like it only exports one elevation of the island and depending on the orientation of the island in the room that one elevation might just be the side profile of the island. Ideally island elevations would show all 4 sides of the island (unless it is up against a wall as a peninsula--the option for whether it is against a wall or not is in the island prompt menu) in which case it would show the 3 visible sides. Then, all the updates we have made to 2D Views need to be applied to islands as well.

This function will take learning the "Append to View" option in its entirety first.

You got it, Ted. The only other thing I'd add is that it would be ideal to have names for each island opening. Example "1" or "2". The plan view is fine.

I've attached a few visuals for reference. The first one shows what a dual sided island looks like when one side faces the door. The drawers overlap each other and it's not very clear. The second one shows what it looks like when you see the side of the island from the door.
