[Plugin] extrudeEdgesByEdges.rb

[TIG]

Did you still get unfaced edges ?

[pilou]

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]

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

[Koosie van Tutte]

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...

[pilou]

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 )

[TIG]

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]

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.

i hope sooo!!! wonderful script!!!

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

[TIG]

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

Drool...

Wow, what a great plugin! Just downloaded it and have been playing around with it and I have had no real problems at all. Had to do some minor clean-up work but nothing unusual. Love it.

Version 1.4 is now out... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=166780#p166780
1.4 20090707 Triangulation improved [as my recent triangulate.rb]. Rare intersect glitch fixed.

.

[pilou]

Trivial problem
if the groups are on the full screen result is out of the screen an no possibity to see it before to reply all the box dialog!
So will be cool that an automatic resize exist before process
Sure I can zoom out but...

Is there a way to fix it?

On the face of it, it looks like you aren't making a set of edges and grouping them as the 'profile', and also a set of edges and grouping them as the 'path'... Do this, then select the two groups and run the tool... The error message is telling you you haven't selected two groups...

If you have other problems then please expand in your explanation...

[TIG]

Here's v1.5 - It now Zooms to show the new group [at Pilou's request]
