[Plugin] [CityGen] - Core [WIP] (0.1.3a) — 19 September 2009

Hi Thomthom! Very powerfull tool indeed- I started to use it for handrailings and curtain walls
2 things:
1/ Could your baby keep last entered values (even more: to remember after the file is closed)?
2/ Are st.Andrew crosses unavoidable?
P.S. 2 threads about the same plug-in (with inner interchangeable links) is extremly confusing thing

Yes. That's coming.

It is not the same plugin. CityGen is a collaboration project. Remus and Chris is working on modules to create buildings. I'm working on the module to create streets. All these modules need this 'core' file to load.
So actually, anything that relates to the street generator, should be posted in that thread.
This thread is intended for the core file.

Since this is a Work In Progress, we're in the very early alpha stages - testing ideas, things will be a wee bit messy. Once things start shaping up, we'll be able to organize these threads better and make packages that include all the modules for easier installation. So until this project reaches that stage, things will be in flux. And there will be things missing. It's probably worth skimming through the pages of replies to get an overview.

I meant diagonal lines on crossroads. St. Andrew was crucified on X shaped cross. Now it's on the scottish and russian navy flags for example.

I had been thinking of a cleanup option. But I'll have to see how this fit in with the rest of the modules. We might end up needing them lines for further processing.

Nice plugin, Thanks!

thomthom

Can we make the Core and modules sticky so they always have their fixed position at the top? Preferable with the Core at the very top.

Done, but i think the order depends on what has the most recent posts, so can't help there.

Looks like it.
Would it be possible for me to get some elevated access to this sub-section of the forum?

remus

Send Gai a PM. I cant imagine there would be a problem with it.

Uploaded a new version to support StreetGen 0.5.x

hI thom.. where is uploaded the last version of this plugin. Each time I download and put it in plugin folder of Sketchup, I have a lot of problems and finally Sketchup fires me and I must re_install the program again.

Best regards

Did you remove the old version?
What OS are you on?
Are you getting error messages? (Does the Ruby Console output anything?)
Sketchup crashes?

I just tried both the Core and StreetGen on my laptop. Extracted CityGen - Core.zip to the plugins folder. Then Extracted the StreetGen .zip into the citygen/modules/ folder. Worked fine.

Hi Thom again.-

efectively, I use Skecthup 7 pro in a Dell Presicion M6400, 16 Gb ram and it crashes. The OS is Vista Ultimate 64bit.

I think In use the last version I found, but I can't find the latest one you just uploaded as you wrote today. Please can you explain me where can I download the latest version? and if you know how can I solve these problems to use it?

thanks

jann

thomthom

All downloads are located at the bottom of the first post in the thread.

tug

Ok, I see, it seems every updates will be always at this site... I'll try again and tell you the result in a while.

thanks

jann

thomthom

Yea - public releases are posted here. The Google Code site is for developers that want to join the project.

any result pics?

The Core doesn't have any GUI - nor does it 'do' anything which the end user can see.
Check the modules for what they can do. So far I think it's just StreetGen available.

Yeah, its a pretty killer app we've built so far!
