Environment

Not environment-specific

The tool CLT Lamella Visualizer is a plugin that creates surfaces around parts. The settings are made for CLT walls and floors, so that the slats of the CLT part are visible and it is clear what the front and back of the part are.

Before you start

To launch the extension, search for M186 in Applications and Components.

Selection order

To add the CLT Lamella Visualizer to your part:

1. If selection is active: Click on the part.
2. If selection is not active: Select the desired parts in the model and click the "Create on selected model objects" button. Optionally, you can use a filter to apply this plugin only to these parts (see option 4 in the "Parameters" tab).
