TIG's "volumecalculator21" is invaluable!

@enzay said: from what I've read it seems limited to scenes and the number of components. What I'm looking to do is animate, say a bridge, being put together from components. Not just appearing with layers, but the pieces flying in from "off screen" . Either Proper Animation or Keyframe Animation can do this for you. Easy. There's no limit like you say. Only limit is if user doesn't learn to use the tool. See animation made above with Proper Animation, or see this video with Keyframe.

...if you can make it... guess it's not easy

Veeeery thanks to all.

Ok I'll start from there..

Just curious, anyone had suawe working? I managed to get the script installed and the demoscene loads fine, but I cant hear any sound! I'm running SU 8!

@tig said: Get the latest version of k_tools.rb - this has various tools that do what you want including 3d graph/forms from equations... here's a link to v5 http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=210 Didier's 'Depot' has many scripts - between the Plugins here, the Depot, Smustard and Jim's Blog you ca find most scripts available to download - or at least links to them... thanks a lot, that's exactly what i was looking for!

Hi, @unknownuser said: I noticed that you still have folders for old versions of my plugins (for instance you have FREDOSCALE_Dir_20 and FREDOSCALE_Dir_21, same for LIBFREDO6_Dir, TOS_Dir, ...). Thanks Fredo for the hint. I had overlooked. Charly

You can of course use the type of data prepared for the 'Generate Report' and make that into some 'screen text'... There are several examples of scripts around that 'apply' screen-text, and of course even more like ComponentReporter++ that can shown you how to extract more than enough data for you to use... All you need to do is combine the necessary bits of both coding examples and you have it - I suggest top left rather than bottom right since the length and number of lines can be more readily accommodated...

@khashayar said: @thomthom said: http://www.smustard.com/script/CloseOpens And I'm also working on a variant of my own that will be in the next Edge Tools. thank you for your reply thomthom. I should have the next version of Edge Tools ready within next week. ( I hope )

@thomthom said: Have you looked under Window > Preferences > Extensions and ensured the plugins are enabled? THAT was the culprit Many thanks. Never thought of looking there.

It would help if you could point to some specifications for the file format.

Hmm. Yes probably?

@jim4366 said: This is one way to make a tetrahedron from scratch. Without a plugin. It seems that if the angle resolution is 1000 segments per quarter circle or better, it works. Same basic idea folding up a pentagon will make a dodecahedron. Using a drawn technique will always give some inaccuracy - although 1000 segments will often give a good enough result! Here's the mathematical way... The height of a tetrahedron with sides 1 unit long is 0.8164965809 units. This is 'simple' similar-triangle + Pythagoras way, with lots of sqrt(3) etc: see below... Draw the tetrahedron as a flat 2d shape scaled so the sides are 1 unit long. Draw the 3 intersecting lines from apex to mid-point of each side. Erase unwanted bits. Move Tool with nothing selected pick 'center' - which will be the apex when relocated. Pick the Vertex at the center and move up in blue [z] constrained with Shift-key. Type in 0.8164965809 [=(sqrt(2.6666666666667))/2]. The tetrahedron is now almost complete. Draw over an edge to make the base-face form. Use 'reverse' on any face so it's 'out' and then use 'orient' so all other faces match. Treble click to select all, make a Group of it. Edit the group and use the Tapemeasure tool to pick two Vertices [these are currently 1 unit apart] and type in the desire size for the sides of the final tetrahedron; confirm when warned and the whole group is rescaled to that side-size... Done.[image: NoNG_Capture.PNG]

TIG, Wow Amazing! It works really well on SU8 and I do need to duck my head into your explainations to know more about it as I am not a good reader at all! Thanks and have a nice day!

You CAN enter group edit mode IF you are on a PC, have a shortcut key-combo set to do it... AND activate that shortcut using a WinScript key-stroke script... BUT it's not ideal See this http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=266830#p266830 and http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=11776#p11776

Thanks Didier. I indeed had lags over there a lot. Hopefully it'll be better now.
