ConstructCAD v0.6.0

Added

• Doors and windows are components that open walls. A component of kind Door or Window with a wall opening (width, height and default sill as expressions of its parameters) makes door or window types: they cut that opening in their wall and their pieces, resolved with WallThickness (the wall's thickness) and centered on the opening, mirror with the door's flips. Plans draw the category's swing or sash lines, or the component's own symbol (Own plan symbol). Tags, schedules, legends, dimensions, phases and IFC (IfcDoor/IfcWindow with the pieces as body) work as before. The template's door and window types, and those imported from IFC, are built-in components; the component editor edits the opening; component files carry door and window components. component_create takes kind: "Door"/"Window" and opening.
• Plan-only component pieces: 2D symbols such as a door's swing (a plan profile with an arc), drawn in plans and legends with no solid in 3D, in the component's cuts or in IFC. The component editor marks them (Plan only).
• Component connectors: a component lists where pipes and conduits connect, each with a name, a system kind (cold or hot water, sanitary, vent, rainwater, power, lighting), a position and direction (expressions) and a diameter. The networks attach each connector to a run of its kind, and mep_connect starts each branch at its connector, of its diameter, leaving vertically or across as it points. The template toilet has a sewer outlet and a cold water inlet, the washbasin waste, cold and hot water. The component editor lists the connectors and marks them in its previews.
• Component library window (Architecture → Component Library…): browse the component files (.ccomp) of the folders you add (kept with the preferences), such as a copy of ConstructCAD Components; search by name, type or description, filter by kind, see a component's types, parameters, connectors and plan, load it into the project (doors and windows start the wall tool) and save a project component into a library folder. The engine command component_library_list lists the folders for the command line and MCP.
• Arc walls trim, extend and align: Trim/Extend to Corner and to a reference work along an arc wall's circle and to it (lines and circles meet where they cross; of two crossings, the one on the elements, else the one that changes them least), and an arc wall aligns onto a concentric one (its radius changes, its openings keep their angles). An arc wall picked as a mirror axis mirrors across its axis of symmetry.

Changed

• .ccad format version 12: door and window types are components. Older files open with their door and window types turned into the built-in door and window components of the same sizes. Files saved by 0.6.0 do not open in 0.5.0.
