Swap Width And Depth

Panel: PushIt | Button: Swap Width And Depth

Swaps the width and depth values on picked mock rooms and rotates them 90 degrees, so the room keeps its footprint but changes orientation.

What it does

1. Starts a pick prompt — “Select push it rooms” — filtered to the Walls and Columns categories, which is how mock rooms are modelled.

2. For each picked element, in a cancellable progress bar:

   • reads duHast_width and duHast_depth;

   • writes each value into the other parameter;

   • rotates the element 90 degrees about its origin.

The rotation is the point of the tool: swapping the two dimensions alone would leave the geometry facing the wrong way, so the element is turned to match.

When to use this

Use this when a mock room has the right area but its width and depth are the wrong way round relative to the room data — the long side runs the wrong way.

Requirements

• The mock rooms must carry instance parameters named exactly duHast_width and duHast_depth. An element missing either is reported as “One of the parameters does not exist on the selected element. Ignoring pairing” and left alone.

• The elements must be of category Walls or Columns; nothing else can be picked.

• The element’s origin must be at its centre, defined by reference planes. The rotation is about the origin, so an off-centre origin moves the mock room as well as turning it.

Notes

• Selection happens after launching the tool, through the pick prompt. Pre-selecting in the canvas is not required.

• If either parameter fails to set, the rotation is skipped for that element so the geometry and the values do not fall out of step.

• Each element’s before and after values are printed to the output window.
