I'm tempted to create 100 user accounts just to vote this to the top. Great suggestion. Would do wonders for those of us that work in the API/Dynamo world...
Thanks Jan. Really - I'm not sure if it is the sketch mode that is really needed to make this happen, but really just the ability to edit the reference array of the floor/roof/shaft etc from within the API. There are some ways that have been suggested to do this, but they are not really viable solutions for life in the real world (as in what happens when a 4 sided box gets a re-entrant corner and now has 6 sides).
I wish i could give this 200 votes and push it to the top (I'd say this is even more important than having "Or" in filters). Non-API users - Please vote for this. Having this capability will allow for so many improved workflows (can you say Dynamo replacing Copy/Monitor???).
I add my vote. For several days, I'm looking for a method to modify the sketch of a slab. In structure, we often cut a floor in 2 to add a beam between the two, for example.
This would make so much sense... It spent so much time to find a solution for this, but I did not expect it to be "just not possible". It does not seem to be too complicated to implement this and I found threads from 2008 wishing for this feature... Please do it, even if it´s 12 years late.. 🙂
