<p>This tool allows you to build all kinds of panel-like elements, typically for panel constructions like the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.wikihouse.cc/">WikiHouse</a> project, but also for all kinds of objects that are based on a flat profile.

|
|
</p><p>The above image shows a series of panel objects, simply made from imported 2D contours from a DXF file. They can then be rotated and assembled to create structures.
|
|
</p><p>Since version 0.17, the Arch Panel can also be used to create corrugated or trapezoidal profiles:

<li> The thickness of a panel can be adjusted after creation</li>
|
|
<li> Press <span style="background: #DDDDDD; border: 1px solid #888888; padding: 0px 5px 1px 5px;">ESC</span> or the <span style="background: #DDDDDD; border: 1px solid #888888; padding: 0px 5px 1px 5px;"><b>Cancel</b></span> button to abort the current command.</li>
|
|
<li> Double-clicking on the panel in the tree view after it is created allows you to enter edit mode and access and modify its additions and subtractions</li>
|

<li> It is possible to automatically make panels composed of more than one sheet of a material, by raising its Sheets property.</li>
|
|
<li> Panels can make use of <a href="Arch_MultiMaterial.html" title="Arch MultiMaterial">Multi-Materials</a>. When using a multi-material, the panel will become multi-layer, using the thicknesses specified by the multi-material. Any layer with a thickness of zero will have its thickness defined automatically by the remaining space defined by the Panel's own Thickness value, after subtracting the other layers.</li></ul>

<p>The Panel tool can by used in <a href="Macros.html" title="Macros">macros</a> and from the python console by using the following function:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>makePanel ([obj],[length],[width],[thickness],[name]) </pre>
|
|
<p>Example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>import Arch,Draft
|
|
base = Draft.makeRectangle(500,200)
|
|
Arch.makePanel(base,thickness=36) </pre>
