Architron 2024 new features

New Features:

1. Walls - New Parametric Object:

   • This feature allows walls to be generated from NURBS or Splines floor-plan objects with new modes: out (outer walls only), in (inner walls only), and out+in (hybrid mode, outer and inner walls). 

2. Walls - Floor-Plans Outliners:

   • This feature allows the generation of separate floorplan objects for the top and bottom of outlined or inlined wall objects.

3. Floor - Floor-Plans Outliners:

   • This feature allows separate floorplan objects to be generated for the top and bottom of outlined floor objects or sourced from the parent object. 

4. Floor - New Parametric Object:

   • This feature facilitates the generation of floors from Walls, NURBS, or Splines floor-plan objects, and they can be outlined or inlined into the source object and placed on the top (ceiling mode) or bottom (floor mode). 

5. Windows - New Parametric Object:

   • This feature enables the generation of windows from NURBS or Splines floor-plan objects and their attachment to Walls objects in three modes: Generated, Floorplan Lines, and Wall Shapes. 

6. Windows - Walls Shapes:

   • This feature allows wall shapes objects to be created from generated windows or by using the NURBS primitive tool on the side surface of the walls in the perspective viewport. 

7. Windows - Floorplan Lines:

   • This feature enables the creation of floor-plan lines objects from generated windows or by using the NURBS primitive tool from the orthographic viewport. 

8. Roof - New Parametric Object:

   • This feature allows the generation of roofs from Walls, Floors, NURBS, or Splines floor-plan objects in two basic modes: Hip and Gable. 

   • Additional attached curve objects define the curvature of the roof slope; otherwise, it is linear. 

9. Flat Patch - New Parametric Object:

   • This feature introduces the generation of flat patches from parent objects, curves, or selected edges. 

Updated Features:

1. Nurbs Detail - Hierarchy Refresh:

   • The update involves the Nurbs Detail parameter being updated in all connected objects of the scene hierarchy when modified. 

2. Nurbs Object - Flat Ground:

   • This update introduces a new option used by auto UCS and floor-plan based objects to distinguish 2D and 3D objects. 

3. Nurbs Object - Open Edge:

   • The update includes a new option in the Analyze tab to display surfaces' open edges. 

4. Nurbs Object - Surface Normals:

   • In the Analyze tab, a new option is available to display surface normals. 

5. Nurbs Object - Simplified Panel:

   • The update simplifies the attribute panel, makes the Analyze tab optional (hidden if disabled), and transfers the "curves to surface" option to a new Flat Patch object. 

6. UCS-Workplane Unification:

   • This update includes the creation of a UCS workplane from the workplane if no geometry is under the creation mouse. 

7. Nurbs Object - Fix to Parent:

   • The update introduces a new general attribute, and when enabled, it is fixed to the parent coordination system. 

8. Cinema 4D 2024:

   • Compatibility with Cinema version 2024.
