[Plugin] SmartPushPull v0.26 (05 nov)

[thomthom]

I really like this plugin. Really looking forward to see how it develops.

I tried it on some simple shape and it worked most of the time. But occasionally it doesn't - not sure why, can't tell the different between what works and what doesn't.

Error; #<ArgumentError; Points are not planar>
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;205;in `add_face'
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;205;in `smartPP'
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;184;in `each'
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;184;in `smartPP'
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;79;in `onLButtonDoubleClick'
C;/Programfiler/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/A4_smartpushpull.rb;184

I've attached a sample model which caused the error. I was trying to SPP the face I highlighted orange.

thanks for all the cheers! will look into all the requests but please be patient. I'm not abandoning the development

thomthom: I'm aware of this bug - it is all due to almost no exception-catching code

Wow, thank you a4chitect.

You know, I never use the default scale tool anymore as Fredo's scale (and taper) tool is much better.
Your 'smart push pull' concept has the same potential to knock the old default Sketchup PushPull out of business.
Wonderful concept man!

I hope you will keep on working on it as this can become a life saving gem.
Thanks again.

Great tool. Just one idea maybe, when you select the face you want to extrude, you get the option of deleting the original lines to clean it up. Would be a nice addition. but still a great plugin nether the less.

btw, a4chitect: why do you have to doubleclick? Why not normal click like the regular PP?

I thought the same thing, TT.

Hi ar4itect I think your 'to do' list misses multiple adjasent\non adjacent faces push-pull.
It'd be special case of Fredo's JPP. BTW While ago I asked him to implement it but unfortunatly it didn't happen.

[plot-paris]

oh, and to make it the almighty super tool, you could enalbe push/pull of more than one selected face simulaneously, making it a lot faster to do extrude several faces with the sam distance (something that I always wanted the push/pull tool to be capable of)

a4chitect,
very usefull ruby, well done !
For me the possibilty to control the offset by means of the VCB is the one thing that is missing to make it a true replacement for the 'standard' push pull tool. (But it is already in the to do list !! )
Thanks for sharing,

[david_h]

okay . .this is total awesomenicity. Any possible way it could be written to be accessed from a right-click like JPP? That would just be cherry.

THx,

Fantastic tool. I've been wishing for something like this for a while.

Nice job, I'm looking forward to any improvements you make.

Very nice,
I noticed the original lines remain, hahe you though of using smething like "remove cplanar edges" to eliminate thos elines after the push/pull operation?
Great job anyways!

I like that idea, CADAddict!
Maybe something similar to the standard Pushpull with 'Ctrl' Pushpull leaving original face and edges....

What do you think a4chitect?

[a4chitect]

i think you are talking about thd first entry in the todo list in the first post; such feature is planned.

[pilou]

Tricky!
