Select all visible shades in the current Rhino document. .
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to elevation reference lines. .
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to a grid system. .
Rebuild all 2D plan curves by aligning them to Rhino grid. .
Align geometries (generic geometries or Pollination geometries) to a target room. .
Swap selected apertures and doors. All properties (modifier, construction, ventilation opening, etc) from the original geometries will be kept. .
Analysis 2D plans (curves) and visualize non-orthogonal geometries based on a reference plane. .
Enter editing mode for a selected room or orphaned object. It is same as double clicking the geometry. .
Modify Honeybee properties for selected objects. .
Embed all user's custom resources from the local library folder, so that this 3dm contains all resource objects and you can share this file without worrying about the missing resource objects on the other machine. .
Extract 2D plans from solid. New added curves contain original solid heights which can be used directly in PO_Extrude2DPlans command. .
Extrude 2D plans (curves) to solid Breps based on height data. A default height will be used if curves do not contains height information. .
Search globally and relink all child objects (Aperture and Door) with their host room object. .
Generate reference grids for alignments based on input geometries. .
Check all child objects (apertures and doors) of selected rooms to ensure they are coplanar with their host faces. .
Use this command with caution!!! Purge the library of all user energy standards that it contains. This command calls 'honeybee-energy lib purge [OPTIONS]', see https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-energy/docs/cli/lib.html#honeybee-energy-lib-purge for more details. .
