my current project I've created a bunch of prefab sections of a hallway; wall sections, walls with doors, singles,doubles.. you get the idea!
often getting it all to line up is a bit of a pain, the ability to have fine adjustment would be great.. maybe properties with xyz separated into up/down controls?

this is the sections idea

You can use my plugin, snap to object to quickly connect and align 3D object with each other like walls, doors etc.

if your modules have standard size why not position
them with code?

You coud build a map from a letter string.
double for loop
peel of letter from map string
clone selected module
parent it to rootnode
position module at calculated position
(i an j * size) somewhere around center

you get the idea, a bit like I did with the goody distribution

oh nice plugin thank you:)

yes the the walls are either 2 or 3 meters wide, same height, doors are all the same and fit a single or double frame, ceiling and floor sections are either 2 or 3 meters, so by code probably wouldn't be that hard, I had planned to do corridors and rooms as separate scenes rather than a huge model

here's my first try to populate with code
https://drive.google.com/file/d/...

sides, ceiling, floor, lights

so one wall length


  var sourceNode = ccbGetSceneNodeFromName("Mesh1");
  //first walls
var dist =30.0;
    for ( i=0; i<=10; i++ )
    { var str ="section"+ i ;
        str  = ccbCloneSceneNode(sourceNode);
        ccbSetSceneNodeProperty(str, "Position", dist*i, 20.0, 0.0);
        //Declaring and Setting dynamic variable using eval
        eval(str);  
    }
