This seccion decribes some of the features of the script for a better understanding.

​

Autobackup:

When this option is enabled the script will automatically save all the parameters of your object in an external file every 3-4 changes you make in your object.

The script will creates a file per each different object name, objects with the same name will replace the same autobackup file content.

How to recover your parameters in case the script crashes and the object is lost:

First create a new FAHouse object in your scene, 'Load' the corresponding backup file and then remove your lost object.

The 'Loc' button shows the path where the files are stored in the window listener (bottom left of the screen).

C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\<3ds max version>\ENU\scripts

Notice: the 'AppData' folder generally is hidden so it's possible you will need to configure your windows explorer to be able to see it. Example of a backup file name: FAHouse001_bkp.FAH

​

Roof templates:

First you need to press the 'Load' button to load your templates list or to create an empty one, then you will be able to 'Load', 'Add' or 'Remove' your templates.

Templates are stored in the 'FastHousingRoofTemplates.tpl' external file, the location of the file is the same as the autobackup files.

​

Stacked windows:

In the 'Windows add/Remove' rollout there is a After/Above radio buttons, when 'After' is selected the new windows will be added horizontally to the right of the specified window, when 'Above' is selected the new windows will be added vertically above the specified window.

Notice: In the 'Window customization' rollout 'Stack Hor Pos' and 'Stack Width' parameters have effect only when the selected windows are stacked.

​

Selection mode:

In the 'windows customization' rollout you can select the windows you want to work with in different ways;

- 'S' single option, select one single window from the 'From' list

- 'R' ranged option, select the windows from the 'From' list to the 'To' list

- 'M' multiple option, select individually multiple windows, select from the 'From' list the windows you want to add or remove to the field selection. The 'X' clears the field.
