      Thank you BTM!

      a few ideas/requests:

      • Is it possible to make a circle (or the shape of the brush) around the cursor? Something like the smoove tool or the circle tool? Something like this:
        Circle around cursor.jpg
        Will make it more "precise"

      • Be able to change the radius of the brush in the vcb or measurements toolbar (this is possible to make for example with the smoove or circle tool so you don´t have to open the dialog every time you want to change desired size of the radius of the brush):
        VCB for radius.jpg
        It will be faster to sculpt

      Also I attach alternate icons. I take them from a mudbox tutorial... I only change the colors.

        First of all, I DO plan on adding visuals eventually, which include a soft radius circle, hard radius circle, and a direction line for the bulge tool. As for the radius in the VCB, I could do it, but I'd need to know who wants what setting to appear there (probably soft radius). For icons, those do give me some ideas.

          Can I suggest a new "[Plugin] Sculpt" thread that has the updated stuff as its first post - it's getting confusing...

          Not yet, I'm hoping to get the plugin past all the problems first; I couldn't test it on windows myself though, so I guess you guys are the testers. 😄

              … I've been messing around with view.draw lately, and have to say that its confusing. View only updates when the view changes, and in order to get it to update on mouse move, requires a lot of confusing things that I don't understand yet. I'll figure it out sooner or later…

                calling view.invalidate forces a refresh. Hope that helps.

                  When you figure it out, let me know 😄

                  I've also had difficulty with it. I eventually get it to work, but I never feel confident I've implemented how it is supposed to be implemented.

                    That much I do know, but my problem is where to put it, and when to do it. 😕

                      Nice concatenation there, Majid.

                      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                        ( 03/07/09) Working icons on windows. easy install.

                        … These are the only files necessary, and where they should go:

                        btm_Sculpt_Tools_Loader.rb > plugins folder
                        btm_Sculpt_Tools folder > plugins folder

                        btm_sculpt1_dialog1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_sculpt2_bulge1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_sculpt3_push1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_sculpt4_smooth1.png > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_Sculpt1_Dialog.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_Sculpt2_Bulge.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_Sculpt3_Push.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder
                        btm_Sculpt4_smooth.rb > btm_Sculpt_Tools folder

                        … Post here if you are having problems.

                        NOTES: for Bulge and Push, Shift will reverse the tools, so Bulge will carve, and Push will Pull. Bulge bulges the mesh, push pushes things away from the cursor, and smooth smoothes out the mesh.

                                Okay, after looking through the utilitiestools script, and through the SU API for a while, I have found out how to add inferencing and view.draw objects you can see 😉 scripts will be updated eventually.

                                ` def activate
                                @ip1 = Sketchup::InputPoint.new
                                @ip2 = Sketchup::InputPoint.new
                                # new inputpoints.
                                end

                                def onMouseMove(flags,x,y,view)
                                @ip1.pick view, x, y
                                #gets 1.
                                if @ip1 != @ip2
                                # if 1 moved from the last position, where 2 is, do this.
                                view.invalidate if( @ip1.display? or @ip2.display? )
                                # invalidate the view if either point is shown. remove the if( @ip1.display? or @ip2.display? ) part when adding other visualizations.
                                @ip2.copy! @ip1
                                # set 2 to 1, so that when 1 moves again, it can tell.
                                end
                                end

                                def draw(view)
                                @ip1.draw view
                                # draw 1.
                                end`

                                  Hi to All,

                                  it is a very nice tool but where can i find the icons for the toolbar. The toolbar works but without icons.
                                  The icons were not included at the download.

                                    They should have been, and are included in the latest version. Maybe try re-installing it 😕 ( go to page 4; the download there has been updated several times. )

                                      … on a side note, does anyone know how to get view.draw to draw a 12 point circle, oriented in any direction with any given radius? 😳

                                          Charly, you don't have duplicate icons and your on Windows. Are most people still getting double set of toolbar icons? I am running Vista 64bit and I still get ther double icons. Anyone else?

                                            … I don't think anybody else said they were getting duplicate icons but you. ( Though, in an older version of the script there were duplicates in the plugins menu; there shouldn't be anymore. )
                                            It's a bit weird. does anyone else with vista have the same problem as Chris? 😕
