Of course lines must coplanar. That's strange it doesn't work for you...
Can you show me errors in the ruby console please?
Thank you!Nice to read that Pilou!
-
I imported a cad file , and as usuall it had lots of stray lines...so I desided to use the plugin, but nothing happend
...
here is my plugin folder view :
-
Thank you for your answer.
Sorry, but... I don't see anyExtendToolfolder andExtendTool.rbin your plugin folder...
Can you try to download it again and to unzip it directly into plugins folder, please? -
Majid, the plugin isn't in there. Where did you put it?
Try downloading and installing again.
-
yes I see
, when it didn't worked for me , I deleted it ... , then I thought that maybe other plugins interfer it , so i shared the plugins folder picture..
also all lines are coplanar , and i repaired the inserted cad file by hand (149 trim extend needed ... as the autocad is going to be more fuzzy!!!!)
ok ... I am thinking that if we could have a better (smarter) cad import plugin? bkz when we import cad files , then su convertes circle to 24 sided su native cirles , and then there would be a gap between the circle and rest of the model... so maybe we could resolve this with a ruby cad importer!!!
-
majid,
this plugin cannot do what you describe... Perhaps try ExtendCloseLines? -

Tig has made something for that!
I must refind that

Matt,
It works well when I have a face selected, however when I select a coplanar edge to extend to, I get a "no limit found" error in the ruby console. Any ideas?
-
Hi Matt:
Works well for me. I like the simple UI.
Could a similar script be developed to extend (move) a vertex (which may or may not be part of a face)?
How it might work: initiate script, pick (click) on the anchoring endpoint or guidepoint, then click on the vertex you want to move. It would basically be the same as manually doing a move-and-drag or alt-move-and-drag function, but inferencing to anything other than end-point or guide-points would be blocked.
This would be helpful when trying to move a vertex a very small distance in an area with lots of geometry.
-
EarthMover,
Thank you for testing it!
Can you post tested file, please? Can you show me "limit" lines or faces, and desired edges to extend?
I have no problem here. Oh yes I had a problem, but I corrected the plugin. Update will come soon.JClements,
Thank you for the comment!
I will "investigate" to find if I can do this plugin... For the moment I think it's out of my ruby level!
-
Hey Matt, great plugin, thanks! I've just started a new project and I am putting this to good use. Thanks! Also, I edited my copy to make it so that holding shift will delete the geometry instead of extending it. I have lots of lines that are just a little too long. So instead of extending them, I want to "trim" them, like in autocad. So that little tiny bit of functionality is very helpful.
So a HUGE thanks, this is quite useful,
Chris

Hey Chris, thats a great idea!!! wouldn't mind seeing that incorporated into matt's plugin....

Glad to help you, Chris!
I updated code today. If you want I can update the code again with your improvment? Do you agree? Can you show us your bit of code?
-
I had difficulty with the plugin.
In the drop down menu I see Selection with a fly out trigger that doesn't fly out to show Extend Edges. I posted in Thomthom's thread on Selection Toys, thinking that Selection was part of his suite. I will try to unload and reload to see if it works better.
I have a mild concern that other recently downloaded tools may be interfering--not sure.
Best Regards,

Ehi,
I am using Mac and it sounds that it doesn't work...
Any another feedback?
Stef.

Try my 2D Tools Fillet or Adjust tools..........

mitcorb say:"In the drop down menu I see Selection with a fly out trigger that doesn't fly out to show Extend Edges."
I have the some problem but I can use the tool, the submenu is like this picture:
