Walls with dimensions name?

I spend a lot of time creating walls, measuring and renaming. I just wanted to create lines in top view and execute a command that adds 10 Outline 320 extrude mesuare the length of the line i created and rename object:
"Wall X, 10, 320" are the values that I use most.
(if there is a text box that I could imput all value and create, would be perfect, but it would probably be hard to create, I think)
thanks guys

And Yes why do you want to convert shapes to spline shapes?
I allready filtered this for reverse knots operation(see filterSpl fn at the top).

I've noticed that in the previus script, if there is a shape (not editable spline)in the scene, the script does not create the wall on it...

Because of filterSpl fn. Give me a half hour to correct the tool

In fact, I've noticed the filter, but I thought it would go so well :)

heheheheh at this point, I

heheheheh at this point, I also use it :D Thanks for thanks for having improved the script base barigazy :)

You welcome guys!

;)

Here you can add more features like:
- control height segments of extrusion
- control thickness segments
- maybe replace extrude modifier with bevel modifier
- override Mat ID for inner and outer side of the walls
- adding more modes (combos) by using sweep, bevel profile etc.
- more controls for base spline (welding, changing knots type etc.)
But I left this to you guys :)

Michele you can post this tool in the script section of this forum.

I spend a lot of time working, do one project per day (Exhibit Design). But with my new scripts daily working time is decreasing, when all the shortcuts are ready I will have much more time to study MAXScript and be part of this team. I'm going to make these improvements! I just need time.

We all need the time to do what we like :)
I'm also glad that this tool enables you to work faster
