So that explains it

Ahh, that picture is more clear.

In the 2nd version I'm quickly adding and deleteing construction points, and the way I had implemented it crashed the plugin in the middle of making construction points if the segments did not match.

I already had to fix it in the version I'm working on because I'm trying to make it work VERY smoothly with any number of segments. I have high(poly) hopes for the next version.

Hmmm... I am having a problem. It worked no problem but now just stopped. It is giving me error

screen grab

Chris Fullmer

Sounds like you have a tiny face attached to one of those splines. Look closely. The script doesnt check for that - yet. Once I get out of beta testing I'll have that all included (and I'm still in alpha, so it might be a little while).

Wow!

Spot on...Chris...it was minute face...

jmmad

I can't see any little face in that picture.
But you can from the code ?
Can you read the matrix Chris?

Chris Fullmer

The first line was what gave it away:

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `start' for #Sketchup::Face:0x72aa908>

I could tell it found a face, and I'm very aware that my script will break upon finding faces (and images, text, groups, components, 3dpolylines, etc) , so it was a safe guess.

...as well as in groups. See here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=157130#p157130 - hopefully it will be easy to fix.

Chris Fullmer

Sorry about the group crashing thing. TIG has helped explain that to me and it should fixed in the next release (which will hopefully be soon!, but no promises).
