Baking
Hello!
First of all this is a fantastic script...the only problem is I really have no idea how to use it properly. I've figured out how to make high poly walls with stones etc. However, I don't know how to bake it and make it a low poly wall instead... Does anyone have a step by step method to do this?
Much obliged...

Feature Requests
This is a great script! It would be nice if you could pick a path (or set of paths) for the wall to build along. That way you can have walls that intersect realistically.
I also noticed that if you build a wall in the scene but later open the tool, your original wall is replaced by the new wall grid. It would be convenient to have the tool not do that or, at the least, make it an option rather than the only way.
Being able to give the new wall a name would also be good. Right now, if I build a wall in the scene, the blocks are named such: stoneBox001, stoneBox002, stoneBox003, etc. You should be able to prefix the walls with a name so if I am building the Front Wall, I can call this new wall "Front Wall" and all the blocks will be named "Front Wall stoneBox001", etc.
Another good idea would be to have a checkbox that will automatically create a selection set for the wall that matches the Wall Name. In the case above, there would be a new selection set called "Front Wall" that will automatically select the blocks that are part of that wall.
Just some ideas and food for thought.
Nice script!
