SCF TWEAKTOOLS 1.0

CadFather

Hi Todd, i understand - the toolbar is removed. can we still find a way to provide an integrated toolbar rather than single icons?

todd burch

Sure we can find a way. Send me an unencrypted version of your stuff and I'll be happy to work it out. Use the contact form @ Smustard if you don't have my email, attention Todd.

Thanks!

Does it possible to make a sort of "stock" Icon / Ruby where user takes only that interest him for make his own tools bar?
Like this for example

Hi Pilou,

just open the 'ruby'_extension.rb and put a hash (#) in from of the unwanted one
if you do it like the example below, you will still get the command in the plugins menu

##################################################################################################  

cmd31 = UI;;Command.new("Unfold") {Sketchup.active_model.select_tool JF;;UnfoldTool.new}
cmd31.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/TWEAK/unfold_16.png"
cmd31.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/TWEAK/unfold_24.png"
cmd31.tooltip = "Unfold Objects like Cardboard Cutouts"
#gp_cd_tweak_m_tb.add_item(cmd31)
_cd_tweak_m_plugins_menu.add_item("Unfold") {Sketchup.active_model.select_tool JF;;UnfoldTool.new}

I´m not a programmer but Fredo6 in his FreeScale tool has something like this. You can enter going to Tools>Fredo6 Collection>FreeScale>Default Parameters and in the webdialog you can choose the icons visible in the toolbar. This is great!!.. i dont know if this can be extended to all our plugins folder or if its needed a change in the code of every plugin. But seems possible.

You can also modify the name of the toolbar used by FreeScale and give it the name of an existing one where you already have your favorite icons.

Thx for the precisions!

Just so I understand - with the exception of smustard scripts, is everyone else OK with their scripts being distributed in this toolbar?

CadFather

..are you ok with it Jim?

Matt666

I am Ok.

CadFather: I support your initiative, you are one of the moderators of this forum (perhaps the principal) and have well earned the right.

Put your menu bar online, and if "you" that eliminates the plugins have said owner. Do not give him a taste of "negotiate" with knowledge.

That anyone who does not want to share, which is where you save most pleases.

Greetings Carlos

Similar issues relating to end use agreements have come up a lot lately where individuals have tried to bundle Ruby scripts together.I understand the concern and objections on the part of those who write and produce the scripts - especially when people are re-packaging them and selling them for profit. Clearly this is illegal and CRIMINAL unless agreements have been worked out and script writers are being compensated. From the end-user side, we all love these amazing scripts and would love to see them more graphically grouped, organized, and bundled. Is it unreasonable for developers to change the terms to allow for what SCF toools and others are attempting provided: 1.) Ruby Scripts are not sold or re-distributed for profit. 2.) Scripts arenot re-sold. 3.) Script writers are given full credit. 4.) and perhaps, the actual scripts are not re-written or changed in any way. Perhaps the ruby script 'gurus' need to get together and brainstorm possibilities. There seems to be a growing desire for an organized graphic interface for rubies.

jdagen, this is the exactly the process that I and CadFather are going through now offline.

I am OK with it. However, in the future, please ask permission before hand. The reason is that I will likely start moving my future free plugins to the Smustard Website for hosting, in which case, they will be under the Smustard EULA. For example, I am thinking of moving Zorro2 to Smustard so I do not give permission for it to be modified or added to a toolbar.

I think the whole concept combining scripts into a toolbar is great, though.

Maybe it would be easier if there is a sub-Forum under Ruby for Toolbar development where this kind of things can be negotiated? Just a thought.
