Feature request: Hide collections from FDS Export #7

Closed uporersith closed 3 years ago

uporersith commented 3 years ago

I would like to "hide" geometry elements grouped in "collections" from the FDS export. This way I can store geometry and turn it "on" or "off" by activating/deactivating the collection. I propose adding a check to see of the "disable in renders" flag is active before exporting to FDS input file.

Thanks.

This is a very good idea. I am going to study it better. Thank you

Finished, it works. I added the feature you requested and uploaded it to the repository. Please, have a look and confirm that it works, before I officially release it. Thank you!

Thanks for implementing this. It took a little trial and error, but it works. To exclude collections from export, you have to uncheck the collection (the REF collection is unchecked):

I placed scale blocks in that collection to scale reference drawings.
