## Description
Add-In for Fusion 360 allowing quick generation of simple [gridfinity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra_9zU-mnl8) bins and baseplates. The created bodies are parametric and can be easily edited if needed before exporting. Bins have an option to be generated solid providing a kick start for specialized tool bins creation.
## Features
Each option is described in details on the project [wiki page](https://github.com/Le0Michine/FusionGridfinityGenerator/wiki).
Bin options | Baseplate options
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:
 | 
### Baseplates
- accepts amount of bases X and Y directions
- base measurement can be changed, default is 42mm
- there are options to generate thick plate with magnet or/and screw holes
- thick plate can be skeletonized to reduce weight, it also allows room for connection holes which can be customized to fit certain screw size or glue in pin
- size of magnet sockets and screw holes can be adjusted
#### Baseplate types
Light | Skeleton with connection holes | Full
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:
 |  | 
### Bins
- accepts amount of bases X and Y directions
- base measurement can be changed, default is 42mm for base width and 7mm for the unit of height
- height is specified in base units, 1 unit will be added to the input to accomodate bin bottom
- generated bins can have a lip for better stackability or a straight wall
- lip can have notches preventing bins from sliding when stacked
- wall thickness can be adjusted
- magnet sockets can be customized to allow snug fit of the magnets, or a different size
- screw holes diameter can be adjusted
- when magnet and screw holes are enabled together, a groove will be generated to help with printability
- bin can be shelled with constant wall thickness to save printing time and filament
- label tab can be generated (length, offset and overhang angle are adjustable)
- allows generation of base or body separately, could be useful if need combine it with existing model
- compartments can be configured to use uniform scale
- custom compartmens layout is based on the uniform grid and allows merging multiple cells together, specifying custom depth and position
#### Bin bottom options
Solid bottom | With screw holes | With magnet cutouts | Combined
:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:|:-------------------------:
 |  |  | 
#### Bin half base size
Half base (21x21mm) |
