Enhancement : dividers on all sides #43

Open Yvan-M opened 3 years ago

Yvan-M commented 3 years ago

Hello, This is a suggestion for enhancement : the capability to define dividers on any side (including height), and the ability to select which sides we want to keep/remove.

My aim is to perform a box : -> without top -> with the bottom not completely down but few millimeters above the down, in order to have more mechanical resistance. The result is a frame (so without tabs on top and bottom), with a divider in the height. Enclosed is a picture manually made of the expected result.

Currently, even by switching height / weight / lenght, I wasn't able to obtain this configuration.

Thanks, Yvan example_laser_enhancement

Interesting. You're right that configuration is not currently possible. I think the easiest way to achieve that would be to add another 4-sided configuration: "opposite ends open" where, for example, opposing "width X length" faces are open. That shouldn't be too hard. I'll look into it (I know, I have several fixes in the backlog... I'm getting to them!) 😁
