New Column PlugIn for Moray

This Moray PlugIn Implements a New Column interface. It can create multiple types of column:-
Plain
Doric
Ionic
Ionic2
Church
Spiral
Torus
Corinthian
Egyptian
Double Twist.
The Column can be Square or round, Plain or have Concave/Convex detailing.

Use the new Column Buttons to create a column of your choice.

The column will appear at the center of the screen depicted as a column of circles or squares. Render it to see the column.

The Spiral, Torus and Double Twist columns can NOT have any column detailing!!

If you want detailing on the column use the checkboxs before clicking on the column!


Installation Instructions

Copy the .dll file into the Moray PlugIn directory.

Thats all there is to it!!

Known Problems:

None.

Known Features:

Some of the columns are now defunct (Doric, Plain, Church) as you can now set the appropriate checkboxes to create the different columns. Just use the set the appropriate checkbox and choose the Plain column type.
