Installation

• Press Install
  
• Search it on Mesh section in addons and activate
  

That’s all… Enjoy it.

Usage

You’ll find FrameIt both in Object Mode under Add->Mesh->FrameIt and in Edit Mode under Add->FrameIt.

• Frame Size: width of the frame
• Frame Depth: depth of the frame
• Frame Offset: position of element normally to face.
• Frame Max Angle: angle between polygons for frame creation
  Example:

• Max Angle 60°
• Max Angle 0°

• Frame Bevel –> Bevel Offset: When Global Level is uncecked you can choose bevel offset for frame element.
• Mullions Size: width of the mullions
• Mullions Depth: depth of the mullions
• Mullions Offset: position of element normally to face
• Mullions Bevel –> Bevel Offset: When Global Level is uncecked you can choose bevel offset for mullions.
• Panel Depth: depth of the panels
• Panels Offset: position of element normally to face
• Panels Bevel –> Bevel Offset: When Global Level is uncecked you can choose bevel offset for panels.
• Global Bevel: choose if apply an unique bevel offset value for all elements at once, or specify  single values in each section of GUI.

Bevel Offset: bevel value applied to Modifier.

All frame, mullions and panels are parented to an Empty named Assembly.

Depth and Bevel are applied as modifiers, so you can change them later.

• Preserve Original Object: if checked original geometry is preserved.
  

  If not checked there will be two cases:
  1. whole geometry selected-> original object deleted
  2. partial polygons selection-> only delected polygons of original object are deleted

• Materials: this option will create a default material for each element of assemby (frame, mullions and panels).
• Reuse Default Materials: if checked new executions of plugin will not generate new sets of materials.
  If you want to apply independent materials to many frames uncheck this option

WARNING!!

Apply Bevel on a large number of faces could freeze or crash Blender. If you think is the case apply FrameIt first on a low poly mesh. Values are stored by Blender tool operator while shutting Blender.
