Hi, I’m a mentor for 11329 ICE Robotics and 3494 The Quadrangles, and a Featurescript enthusiast (I wrote EZwire).

I have been working on my own Lighten script for a while: Enlighten, attempting to make it faster and more reliable, or at the very least, when it fails, trying to show the user how and why it failed so they can fix it. There are always some combinations of wall, rib, and radius dimensions that will fail, but it seems to be working well. Give it a try and let me know.

I was inspired by the two major existing lighten scripts (Julia's Lighten and 2471's Lighten), but have done some portions in a novel way.

My Enlighten on the left (677 ms), Part Lighten on the right (893 ms). A little faster, and with more control over the result.

Fillet Normal is a full re-write of Julia's "Fillet All Edges".

Fillet Normal fillets all edges which are normal to a selected face (unless excluded). Features a significant performance boost: 84ms vs 1.43s for the example below.

Still tweaking it, but feels pretty good so far.

Sharing my Featurescripts, would be interested in Feedback.

Box - Make a box, various ways, full solid or edges only. Simple, but has its uses.

CC Distance - Calculate the distance and locations of two pullies and a belt. Generates a sketch in position, and can create simple 3D belt.

EZWire - Still great for my use-case - quick visualization and routing, without any specific pinouts or some other features that 0xWire does.

Hole Tag - Micro-adjust and color-code holes in part studio for easier Replicate in Assemblies. You can select a whole part or face, and the correct parts will only replicate to the "tagged" holes.

Import FS - Import STEP files directly into a part studio. Ultra-fast regen times. ~20ms for a full MAXTube vs several seconds for TubeConvert or Deriving from some sources.

Keep Middle - Chop off the ends of something (and shift its location). Great for Maxtube in part studios. Creatued to use with ImportFS.

Loft Individual - A great companion for, or alternative to, EZWire. Can be a bit weird at first, but very fast for creating groups of simple wires.

QuickMats - Bulk apply materials and colors in one window to all parts in a studio.

Rotate To - Rotate something to line up with something else. Designed to fix a shooter import where all of the gears and shafts were at strange angles.

SpurGear+ - Spur Gear but with fast partial pie-wedge gears! Designed for this season's shooter hood gears.

There is no way to cancel recurring donations on their website, they do not respond to emails, they do not return voicemails, and they don't answer their phone. There is essentially no way to tell them to stop taking money from your bank account every month.

We saw 2-3 fire trucks and 4-6 police cars going to a building near the surgery center off tapp road. they seemed to be more urgent than just an accident or small fire. Anyone know what's going on?
