Hello,
New properties in the Arch Structure objects:
BasePerpendicularToTool : it copies the Base (extrusion profile) at the begining of the Tool (extrusion path) and places it perpendicular to the first edge of the tool. It is the same as attaching the Base with MapMode=NormalToEdge, but its automatic and allows to reuse the same Base object for multiple Structures.
When BasePerpendicularToTool = True, more properties control the placement of the Base relative to the Tool axis. They are shown in the attached image.
ToolOffsetFirst and ToolOffsetLast : extend/trim the Structure at the start and end respectively (the real length of the Structure is available in the ComputedLength readonly property)
BaseRotation : rotate the Base (the rotation is around the Base's "(0,0)" point which is the center for Arch Profiles, the origin for Sketches and usually the first point for Draft Wires)
BaseOffsetX and BaseOffsetY : move the Base (extrusion profile)
BaseMirror : mirror the Base (extrusion profile)
A
new command Create multiple Arch Structure was also added. It uses the first selected object as a Base, and creates Arch Structures objects for every Edge of the other selected objects. Then, the properties of individual Structure objects can be adjusted in the Property editor. This command was added for workflow with a master Sketch (there is risk of topological naming problem unless you create non-parametric copy of the master Sketch or use Realthunder's version)
