Improved Fill Types

[ranjian0]

This issue is the base for work to begin on improving fill types. We would like to add a couple more fill types and also provide a set of quick presets for common fill types and/or combinations of fill types. The image references below should act as a guide.

Window

Door

While there is no clear cut plan, the above images give a good indication of the direction we should be heading. New issues concerning this should refer here.

Task List:

• Diamond
• Cross Panel
• Full Louver
• Upper Louver
• Lower Louver
• Split Louver
• Half Glass
• Half Glass 1 panel
• Half Glass 2 panel
• Half Glass 3 panel
• Half Glass 4 panel
• Half Glass 2 panel horizontal
• Half Glass 3 panel horizontal

Window boards would also be cool.

Illustrations for this would be really handy. Just drop them here!

It would be useful to have an option for bottom_panel in doors.

Behaviour:

1. Enabling bottom panel will divide the door in two panels (height of bottom panel is configurable)
2. Bottom panel can have its own fill type
3. Use cases
   Top panel - glass panes, Bottom panel - panels
   Top panel - vertical panels, Bottom panel - horizontal panels

@ranjian0 What do you think ?

Yep. My thoughts exactly. Was just thinking of half fill feature similar to your idea. Configurable height is a really good option too.

I agree, the question is how flexible the system should be, either you just allow having two sections or you allow it to be any numbers. If you had two panels wide and 4 panels high then you could create the 8 panel door from the picture, just something to think about

I think two should be enough. If more is needed, we can implement it in such a way that fills can be added recursively. e.g
You make an initial fill with two sections but leave one of them empty and then use the fill tool again on the empty section.

Possibilities are endless.

Thats really smart, typical situation of when you can simply things as its in blender :P As long as you can change where the door/window divides and if it should be done vertically or horizontally then you could do anything
