Vectorize buildings

Not Lite

Vectorize buildings action performs about the same process as the Vectorize Buildings tool. The main difference is that the building models are not drawn into the CAD file directly. Instead, text files are created that stores drawing parameters for each building model and the corner coordinates for all building model shapes.

The text files can be read into the CAD file by using the Read / Building models command in order to visualize the building models. The storage location and name of the output file(s) are defined in the action settings. If the macro runs on a project with several blocks, the file name should include a variable, such as the block name.

macro_vectorize_buildings

Return value: Number of building models written in the text file.
