[REQ] Mix plugins to make windows better

What could be useful is if there was a generic lib for a series of GET functions (getPt, getPts, GetAngle (with protractor), getDistance, getpath etc.) that could be used by all developers in a consistent way to return select input to functions and dialogs.

I trying to do make myself what I want for this situation, and Sketchup has show me crazy behavior. When I write, for exemplo, 2 * 200, sketchup does not show me 400 as result, but 508. I think Sketchup thinks "2" is inches, not units. What is happening?

thomthom

Sketchup's internal units are inches. Always. But 2 * 200.mm

thomthom

You seem to use a lot of global variables? Any reason for that? could potentially cause conflict.

But globals aside:

Sketchup uses inches internally. It assumes that all numbers given is in inches.

If you type 200 - then SU assumes 200 inches. If you want it to be in mm - then you must type 200.mm
The numeric class has several methods to convert to and from different units: http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/numeric.html

When you type 200.mm - then you get a variable of the Length class: http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/length.html

` x = 200.mm
7.8740157480315

x.to_mm
200.0`

So you must ensure that at any point, all variables that refer to a measurement unit - that it's made into a Length class so that the unit is represented in SU in inches.

thomthom

` wglass = (200.mm - ((8.mm) + ( 1.mm) + (6.mm))) / 3

2.42782152230971

wglass.to_mm

61.6666666666667`

I make some improvements in the plugin. Now this is more usefull.

Thank you for the answer

If I have :
$larguraVIDRO = ($larguraJANELA - (( 2 * $larguraFORRA) + ( 2 * $afastaFOLHAS) + ( $larPERFIL * ( $numePORTAS - 1 )))) / $numePORTAS
UI.messagebox $larguraVIDRO
what means:

wglass = (200 - (( 2 * 4) + ( 2 * 0,5) + ( 3 * ( 3 - 1 )))) / 3
wglass = (200 - ((8) + ( 1) + (6)) / 3
wglass = 61,6666 >>>> this is result that I want, but the Script show me 24.75....

How can I correct this expression so that it presents me the correct result?

Thanks anyway...

hi. thanks for your plugins.
But the first two tools do not work.
could repair it?

Is the very first two tools that I have made. Is strange this situation, because this is working fine for me, but I have Sketchup 7.1, and seems that you have the same version that me. Have you extract de zip file in the right place?
I don't understand nothing about RUBY, and yet, I make this improvements...

DIEGO-RODRIGUEZ

if. is right.
in sketchup 7.1 Functions well.
I had only tested on sketchup 6.
thanks for answering
