Download Prototypes Add-on

We often get requests from customers for functionality that solves some specific problem. The Prototypes add-on is a place where we can quickly and easily implement and publish such functionality without cluttering Simplebim. Prototypes, like the name implies, do not go through the same testing process as functionality in the standard product. Often functionality matures in the Prototypes add-on and is then later included in some way in the standard product.

The Prototypes add-on contains the following modules (version 10.0 / 22.2.2024)

• Tools
  • Add Appearance Information
  • Add Geometry Information
  • Add Text Encoding Info
  • Anonymizer
  • Calculator (deprecated)
  • Combiner (deprecated)
  • Convert Objects
  • Delete Materials
  • Group Rename
  • Group Trim Name
  • Group Delete
  • Group Merge
  • Insert Locations (new)
  • Load Selected GUIDs from File
  • Save Selected GUIDs to File
  • Weight Watcher
  • Write GUID Map File (new – to be used with the Split Geometries tool)
