[Plugin] extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb

I have same result but seems normal as this function is not adapted to this!
As the profil stay parallel
At each "rotation" there are creation of an external or internal horizontal face

For ovoid that make just an half circle
And a mirror after
But even with this there some gaps

pilou · 26 Jun 2009, 10:03

file of the mirror above

gap.skp

I get no loose edges with either of your skp's... There is orientation weirdness as sometimes threes faces share as edge as it's convoluted in on itself when a circle... to be on the safe side I am adjusting the script to trap any edges without faces... Look out for update...

Here's v1.3 ...
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=166780#p166780
It's been trapped for rare unfaced edges - it either forces the edge to have a face, or erases the edge if it's not possible to add a face ...

Have you tried this latest version ?

pilou · 26 Jun 2009, 15:43

There is always no possible to close some faces (my gap file above)
The curious is this is a "big face"
Maybe because angle is too flat?

Not so a big deal to close it by hand

TIG · 26 Jun 2009, 15:44

Did you still get unfaced edges ?

pilou · 26 Jun 2009, 15:50

yes the same than on my image above! (orange pale one)

After Auto self convoluted stay 2 "big faces" (second of the revolution, and second of the profil)

AND I have this one " 1.3 20090626 Edges not facing in convoluted shapes trapped."

pilou · 26 Jun 2009, 15:53

Of ourse yes
The curious was there same size so maybe you have not posted the good version?

thanks a lot!

TIG, very nice plugin... can you improve it to add the option for another rail "edge", thus effectively transforming it into a SWEEP 2 RAILS plugin??

It's on the list...

seems one of the Moi's example above is 3 rails

Hi TIG

May you'll better understand as me that message. I loaded the V1.3, but no results
I reload the file.rb but get the same result.

Do you have the V1.2 somewhere ? ( It worked )

Malaise I've PM'd you about getting the skp sent so I can test it...

Are the selected just two groups of edges ?

JClements · 28 Jun 2009, 20:22

Well TIG, this is a nice script and I hope sweep-two-rails can be done (keeping my fingers crossed ). It could be a big time saver for doing landscape/topographical, asymetrical surfaces.

orei · 29 Jun 2009, 08:08

i hope sooo!!! wonderful script!!!

MALAISE · 29 Jun 2009, 17:21

Hi All

I have encountered some strange behaviour of TIG' last Plugin. Have you notice that Experimental SketchyPhysic 3X may block ExtrudeEdges ?

Using SketchyPhysic 2 , no problem at all .... please let's share your comments

Don't see where the clash could be [yet] ?
