Sweep Profile
Align and extrude individual or groups of profiles along the path of selected points. Creates polygon sections with UVs (mitred segments or peeled) and part names for easy selection and texturing.
Profile Rebuild
Prepare profiles for sweeping by removing excess points, flattening, setting the UV seam position, etc.
Arch Profiles
Generates 2D arch and half-arch shapes (polylines or polygons) that can be extruded or swept (path or radial) to create 3D geometry, or used as a cookie cutter.
Casement Window
Make a wide range of casement window designs for use in arch-viz, interior visualisations and set extensions.
Box Sash Window
Create double-hung windows for use with your buildings and interior scenes.
Horizontal Sliders
A specialist tool for creating horizontal sliding windows and doors.
Window Furniture
A set of window furniture mesh presets for use with modo.
Stairs Tool
Effortlessly create one or two flights of stairs using the twelve pre-made styles and eight staircase layouts. This tool provides you with more than 25 tweak-able attributes, as well as, UV and part-name generation.
Poly To Window
Create fixed-light windows in the position and shape of selected polygons (max. 30 per run).
Door Templates
Takes the hard work out of dividing up polygons when forming a panel-door.
Shelf
Generate floating-style shelf arrangements, with UVs, using aesthetically pleasing mathematical scales.
Picture Frame Maker
Make picture frames, with or without glass, in various shapes, along with UVs and polygon-part names.
Light from Poly
Quickly place lights at the location of selected polygons
Vector Scale
Interactively scale geometry, in one or mesh item layers, based on a single known length or by a multiplication factor or by bounds. In addition, choose to centre the geometry around the world origin and/or rest it on the ZX ground plane.
Mesh Align
Moves all the geometry within a mesh item (at the component level; no item transforms) from a source point to a target point or the world origin. Allows per-axis alignment using novel tool handles and supports modo's 'select through' workflow.
Point Align
Align a selection of points to the last selected point, along one or more axes, with a given amount of offset. This tool supports multiple mesh item/layer selections and is designed for use with modo's fast 'Select Through' workflow.
Select by Height
Selects all geometry that matches the height of a pre-selected vertex, edge or polygon. Also, enables the selection of geometry within a range of heights, as well as, selecting all geometry above or below the height of a selected vertex, edge or polygon.
Select by Normal
Selects all polygons whose normal matches that of a previously selected polygon, and refine the selection based on a variety of filters; e.g. limit selection to polygons in the same plane as the target polygon.
Part Names To Masks
Generates material masks (group and material) for each of the polygon part-names within your scene, whilst avoiding duplication of pre-existing part-type masks.
Add Material Groups
Generates materials specifcailly for the windows plugins. This spares you from manually creating the masks and materials.
Locator to Corner
Add, orientate and position a new locator at the point where the two selected edges meet. Use for aligning windows to openings.
License
Price shown is for a single-user license ("single seat") of this kit. Prices shown may vary due to exchange rate fluctuations and exclude VAT (e.g. Europe).
Limitations
These tools are designed and tested for use with modo’s default, Y up-axis coordinate system. However, most do support working with the other up-axis options (YMMV).
