| Summary | 0006694: Feature Request: Trim Tool | ||||
| Description | One of the most time-consuming yet simple tasks in DR is adding trim or panels to walls. There are different ways to do it: either cut the walls horizontally and texture them with trim/panels, or add it as a thin brush layer (I prefer the latter). Mappers like to add trim or panels to the lower section of the wall and the upper section. You need to create the brush, drag it out to the corners of walls, fit it to the corner, copy/rotate to do the opposite wall, etc, etc. It would be great if DR could do all this with a single click. There is something similar with the 'Brush -> Create decal patches' tool, but it only creates patches and covers the entire wall (brush). For a similar tool for trim, I propose the same workflow (selecting a brush face), but instead it would create a brush. The proposed workflow would be: 1. Select the face of a brush you wish the trim to be added to. 2. From the menu, select Brush -> Create trim... 3. A dialogue box would pop up and gather the following inputs: - trim height (e.g. 16 units) - trim depth (e.g. 1 unit) - fit to (top/bottom/left/right) - possibly an option to cut the brush at a 45 degree angle at the ends. This is ideal for texturing purposes (see attached screenshots). The brush would appear when you click 'OK. This would create a brush that all you had to do was texture to finish it off. See attached screenshots for simple finished wall. | ||||

Testing this out now and will post notes here. So far: - When creating the trim brush, it uses the same material as the wall face you've selected. Could this be changed to use the current material on the shader clipboard instead? - The 'Create Trim' dialogue box that collects input options doesn't 'remember' the values you used the previous time and just shows the defaults each time. Could that be changed? |
