BreakAll III - A TKE PowerTool for Punch!

Version 4.1.1

BreakAll is a convenient, easy-to-use PowerTool that provides additional features for Punch!'s current Wall Break tool. Not only will BreakAll allow the simultaneous addition or removal of multiple break points on a wall, its capability functions with windows and doors present on the wall and further extends itself beyond the wall to work with the objects listed below, regardless if they are straight, curved, open or closed:

• berms
• decks
• edgings
• excavations
• fences
• fill areas
• floors
• floor cutouts
• freehand roof panels
• paths
• property lines
• railings
• roof holes
• stairs
• shapes (from the detail tab; use "Point-Level Editing")
• walls and wallsets

Note that the Punch! version 10.0 roof hole objects can be modified by BreakAll, but that skylights are not so listed. Skylights are essentially windows on the roof, and their definition is due to their selected geometry, not the handles displayed on plans, so adding more handles is an operation that will not change the window, whatever the skylight's plan outline shows.

BreakAll II is a much enhanced version of the original. It can add multiple handles instead of just one, and it can also delete handles. It no longer needs to place a help icon on the user's desktop as it now has a dialog with a Help button.

BreakAll III continues the tradition with a totally new feature to Punch!: the ability to open up an wallset and make two objects out of it.

Compatibility

BreakAll, as of version 4.1.0, is fully compatible with all Punch! PowerTool-enabled versions through level 12.x, including AS5000-12 and Master Landscape Pro-12. See the Compatibility page for more details.
