Extract frozen geometry from an attached wall

Hello, I'd like to suggest creating another attachment tool that essentially extracts the outline of the attached wall, and freezes it, eliminating the need to keep attached surfaces. 

 

Reason: When working on a complex model (continuously changing roof) that requires this workflow:

  • rhino import of mass
  • then roof or wall by face
  • attach wall to get the top/bottom geometry correct
    • PROBLEM: you must keep the geometry attached to
    • Workset: Internal for hiding
    • THIS CREATES A VERY LARGE FILE SIZE, that is entirely unnecessary
    • It also means, that if you're in a linked model, you cannot bind the link while keeping the information intact.

Proposed solution: Enable the user to keep the attachment outline and extract a shape from it, that maintains the top/bottom of wall condition - i.e. freeze the geometry.

 

Please contact me if you have any question.

To sum it up, you want to have the option to keep the shape of a wall even if the shape defining targets are removed.  Sounds like a good idea.  I would vote for it.
