no change, matt. still not working on mac. i click on the icons and nothing changes; it keeps the unit set through model info-->units.

Matt666 · 3 Aug 2008, 12:11

Aaaargh ! I don't understand

I need some help... I will ask others french scripters ! THERE IS A SOLUTION !!

CadFather · 3 Aug 2008, 12:29

anyone else on mac having the same problem?

jiegou · 9 Aug 2008, 12:27

very good!thanks.

Matt666 · 11 Dec 2008, 07:05

Can someone test this last one on Mac, please ?

Edson · 11 Dec 2008, 10:49

still not working on my mac. nothing changes after i click on any icon. and btw, the meter icon is not showing.

CadFather · 11 Dec 2008, 11:56

..on pc that happens only if fractional or engineering is selected - once i click on decimal (from the toggle units icons) all icons become selectable and everything works..

i think we really need some 'certified mac testers'.. (or they may be left behind)

Matt666 · 11 Dec 2008, 13:15

+1 for certified mac testers!
Sorry Edson for that and thank you so much to loose some time for script testing !

no problem, matt. it is a pleasure to be of help. could you be more specific as to which is the build to be tested? i looked at the first post of this thread and saw nothing different there.

Matt666 · 11 Dec 2008, 14:21

Yep! On Fedo6 advices, I changed the way that script called preferences units...
So we have to try some things...
Open your ruby console, copy and paste code below and can you show me the result please ?

toggle_units(1)

And

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]

And

var = Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"];var["LengthUnit"]= 4

And this one (can you replace "VAR" by result of the last code entered, please ?

toggle_units_validation_proc(<VAR>)

Another thing : When does error message appears? While start of SU? After clicking on an icon?

Sorry for all these tests, but it's necessary if I want to find the problem!
Thank you Edson!

Edson · 11 Dec 2008, 14:55

matt,

do no be sorry. just keep the tests coming.

see the results in the attached picture. i do not get any error messages. it just does not change units.

cheers.

Matt666 · 11 Dec 2008, 15:13

toggle_units(1) works!! Try toggle_units(1), toggle_units(2), toggle_units(3) etc... And take a look in the units window (Windows->Model info->Units), normally drawing unit changes...
So I will post an update soon with toolbar code changed! Thank you Edson !

Hi !
I go back on this plugin, with another attempt for Mac users. Edson, Can you try please?

EDIT1 : One other (And I hope the last !) update!

toggle_units.zip

Matt666 · 11 Dec 2008, 15:27

Ok, I've finished this update! Can you try it, Edson, please? Thank you!

Edson · 11 Dec 2008, 17:34

matt,

good news from the mac side of life. it works. however, in order to see the change in the info panel i must close it and open it again (not a big problem).

what could be improved is the fact that the icon bar does not reflect the present units chosen. see the picture: i have decimal and centimeters on it but the icon bar is not reflecting it. sometimes it is all gray, others white. the buttons seem to "stick".

but we made some progress.

Matt666 · 12 Dec 2008, 10:06

Wow... Strange!
Thank you Edson! We will slowly succeed!

Another request, please... A daunting request...

Can you open your ruby console and your units window (in model info), please?
Copy and paste code below in the ruby console

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthFormat"]

Change unit format, paste the code in the ruby console and give me the result like that :

@unknownuser said:

Unit format (decimal, Architectural) -> result of the code

Can You do that for all SU unit Format please?

The same thing for units length... With this code :

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]

Here is units options in SU/Windows :
Unit Format

Architectural -> 1
Decimal -> 0
Engineering -> 2
Fractionnal -> 3

Unit Length

Inches -> 0
Feet -> 1
Millimeters -> 2
Centimeters -> 3
Meters -> 4

Thank you Edson!

Edson · 12 Dec 2008, 11:03

sorry, max. it may seem clear to you but i am not getting what i am supposed to do. lead me through it, ok?

after i paste Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthFormat"] what do i do? where do decimal and meters go? with or without quotation marks, etc? and where do i insert the unit options?

write down one of the options and i will figure out the others.

cheers.

Matt666 · 12 Dec 2008, 11:29

Sorry !
Procedure :
For all units format (decimal, architectural, engineering, Fractional) -> N°1 on the picture

Change the format in the unit SU window (N°1)
Copy, paste and excecute the code in the ruby console (N°3)

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthFormat"]

Show me the result of the code in the ruby console Like my last post.

For all units length (Inch, feet, millimeters, centimeters, meters) -> N°2 on the picture

Change the length in the unit SU window (N°2)
Copy, paste and excecute the code in the ruby console (N°3)

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]

Show me the result of the code in the ruby console Like my last post.

If it's too constraining for you, don't hesitate to tell, I understand
Sorry again, Edson!
