"""

Read a text file containing grid and arc information and layout the grid lines of a building as

construction lines and circles. Version 1.08 and greater can read line, arc and circle data

from DXF files.

SDS/2 parametrics cannot add EVUs at the present time.

This script was orignally intended to work in plan. ExplicitL' lines and 'ExplicitR' circles work

in any model orientation, but will be created only in the current model orientation. This is a

limitation of SDS/2.

This script is compatible with GridSave.py.

For Construction Lines - 'Direction' = the angle of the construction line

For Construction Circles - 'Circle' work points are translated in 'Direction' from 'Origin'

'Origin' and 'Direction' must precede 'Circle' and offset dimensions

Text File Format:

# Comment Line

Origin has x and y components only

Direction should be between 180 and -180 degrees

If 'Direction' = 90 degrees, construction lines are progressively added in the negative 'x' direction.

If 'Direction' = 0 degrees, construction lines are progressively added in the positive 'y' direction.

Version History:
