Description

This macro is intended for use on large projects, ones involving hundreds of objects. It's use on a small single file project would be pointless and unnecessary.

Installation

All the code for buildUtility.FCMacro is in one macro. So installation is comprised of copying the code to the appropriate Macro directory and invoking the Build Utility from the Macro menu, the Python console or a toolbar button (the preferred method).

Usage

User Interface

There really isn't a GUI at all for this macro. The macro reads a text file that has been prepared with a text editor and produces a model in an output document. Other than clicking the button on the toolbar to start the process, there is no user interaction.
