There have been a few recent requests on the 12d Model Forum for ways of fitting a circle/arc through 3 points. Previously, I’ve had the Fit 3pt Arcs (12d App), but that’s designed to fit plan circles to objects. Things like columns, piles, tanks and the like where the surveyor- this was created for surveyors- can only survey points around the outside, but needs a nice clean circular representation for plans. That macro works well for plan circles with varying… Read moreFit 3d Circle (12d App)

Duplicate Model with Attributes

Matthew Monk

Someone recently asked on the 12d Model Forum how to duplicate a model and also duplicate any model attributes. I’d previously had the same problem and, frustratingly, none of the built-in options in 12d Model will copy the attributes. At least not in one move. There are workarounds with chains and the Attribute Manipulator, but figured it was such an obvious and easy fix that I’d write a 12d Model app. So, here it is. A 12d Model app (aka… Read moreDuplicate Model with Attributes

Chain Custom Prompt (12d App)

Matthew Monk

[Updated 13/04/20 – v1.4] A 12d Model app that builds and displays a user-definable panel (i.e. Graphical User Interface (GUI)). The primary purpose of this macro is for use in chains as a replacement or extension of the Prompt command. The Prompt command built-in to the chain functionality inside 12d Model allows chain authors to present the user with a set of fields that can then be filled in. The data entered into this Chain Prompt is then captured in… Read moreChain Custom Prompt (12d App)
