hi bianhai
what is that side panel thing you are using in your video?

bianhai · 6 Oct 2008, 09:17

side panel is SUTOOL2009

thomthom · 6 Oct 2008, 09:17

Really cool plugin. Though, there's some odd triangulation some times. Looks like half of it ends up smooth, but the other half of the geometry ends up with sharp jagged triangulation.

This plugin would be perfect for modelling some of the geometric figures of the church of the "Sagrada Familia" of Gaudí, in Barcelona... If I could live for 200 years I would start to think about making some parts in sketchup...

[Plugin] SUTool: a new way to manager your RB script
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=5946&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=wikii
Add a RB script to:
Drop down menu? difficult to use~
Toolbar? cost a lot screen area to display~
Context menu? it is already too long~

SUTool organises RB scripts in a AutoCAD_screen_menu_like sidemenu ,as the Gif show.

SUTool v0.06 has ability to add in a new RB script automatically,as the Gif show.

and:

New chinese version released is SUTOOL2009.

Trying to get this plug in to work for me. I am on a mac 10.4.11, Sketchup Pro. Works well if I push/pull a face where the path is connected to it. It will not follow for a path that is not curved though. However, what I am trying to accomplish is a coil that follows a circular path (winds around the path). I have removed all of the plug-ins and restated with no results, trashed the .plist, but no joy yet.

This example is on the thread[url]viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13014&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a[/url]
what exactly is a "construction point" cause this is just what I needed to do.

Maybe this can help you
For weld a curve used the plug linked

look the pic

Wiki, Thanks for the reply.

I made an observation using the supplied SKP file that you included with the .rb file called "far.skp"

Opening the file and looking at the last model I notice that the vertical line segmented. When I apply the FFR ruby to this line and its shape the ruby functions well as in your examples. But if I draw a line that has no segments it does not behave the same way. The plug in fails to activate, it acually doesnt do anything after selecting it.

wikii · 13 Nov 2008, 11:40

The path must be a curve which is constructed with several segments!

maxosmedia · 14 Nov 2008, 11:19

not for macintosh again

A simple Push-Pull can do that

Matt,

Wiki's ruby is designed to "Twist" the shape as it follows the path. Do you mean the push pull tool will rotate a shape as well as extrude it?
