[Plugin] Archiland Toolbar

arqpadao · 2 Dec 2008, 11:17

Hi CadFather
Many thanks, good ideia,
But
I have a problem. Installed and appeared all the items on the menu but Plugins to open the window of the icons they do not appear. The folder - Archiland Toolbar are in the plugins folder and the 4 files. RB were copied to the plugins folder of Sketchup. It could help me.

make sure the folder cd_icons is in the plugins folder

Very cool. Thanks.

Thanks
small detail.
There are tutorials on how to use the plugins...
I do not understand the use of Spiral Stairs, Simplify Contours, Make Contourns, Triangulate points, Pontify and Terrain Reshaper...

i'm working on a new set of toolbars and also planning some tutorials - it's just a matter of squeezing it all in 24 hour cycles

but in short they are easy to start with - try and see

draw a jagged curve with the freehand tool - simplify contours will reduce the jagginess (and segmentation)

draw a cone or any 3d shape (not cube), group it - make contours will create new contour lines around the 3d shape

on the same shape (explode the group) run pointify - the result is c-points on every vertex (corner)

trangulate points does the reverse - delete the 3d shape, select all c-points - run the script

you will also find many tutorials in pdf on Didier Bur's site

Thanks CADfather, I've already download your ruby in another 4r & it's really really useful. But I wonder why you don't more develop it more, like could I change the style of stair tread like Sketchup?

CadFather · 5 Dec 2008, 07:28

..now that we have dynamic components, the stairs might be less important - in any case i'm working on an update..

also remember the rubies have been created by the ruby masters - all i did was integrate them into the toolbar with command and icons

your welcome Lorenzo

Max - you truly are the CadFather! Your tool bar is a great addition to the neighborhood.

I have one little problem relating to the roof tools. On my toolbar the mansard & gable roof buttons are transposed. Clicking the gable produces the mansard etc. -- The tooltips are correct so it seems its just the images are referenced wrong.

Regards, Ross

Max, as Ross just pointed out, the icons representing the gable, mansard and hipped roof designs are mixed up. The pyramid roof icon is correct. I have renamed the icon (.png) files appropriately and am attaching a new CD_ICON folder here so others can replace the old folder with this one. I hope this is a permissable act on my part.

CD_ICONS.zip

EDIT: Ohhh...and thank you very much for a wonderful tool!!

Thanks CF. What does Pointify do?

bellwells · 4 Jan 2009, 18:27

I think pointify converts vertexes into construction points. Do a search and you'll find plenty of posts on the subject.

Hi, just back from italy where i had little or no connection - can't believe i did live just the same - i knew there were a couple of icons out of place but they eventually slipped by.. thanks all for your feedback.. and Ron, i will change the package with the updated icons.. (done)

Cheers!

Cadfather, care to do a guide on how to create Icons and use them with rubies? I like icon interface and would love to help out.
