[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set
-
The 'lofting by multiple profile selections' is on the list but I know Fredo also has lots up his sleeve too...
-
hey，why cann't i download the attachment?
-
somebody can help me please?
-
is this plugin for Skechtup6 or 7 vision?
-
What are you trying to do exactly ?
Simply click on the zip file link [extrudeTools_yyyymmdd.zip- the file's suffix varies with the date of the last upload currently 20100219 ?], you can find it at the end of the first post in this thread, and then your browser should ask you what to do [varies with browser make]... download the zip file to your desktop, then follow the 'extraction' instructions etc...
You MUST extract the files as directed - that is in their sub-folders as supplied in the zip - DON'T try to drag/drop them out of the zip's window it'll go wrong. Use 'extract[_all]' option in you zip application and they should keep their folders intact. The.rbfiles go directly into thePluginsfolder BUT the rest of them go into aTIGtoolsfolder insidePluginsand even sub-folders within that...
PS: These plugins works with SUp v6 and v7.

Just to let you know TIG and I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem on a Mac, but I have an icon image missing.
I installed the ruby and opened SU. The toolbar shows ok, but after closing down then re-opening, the first icon is blank.
I can live with it, just thought I would report it.

I can live with it, just thought I would report it.This was reported once before [that was on a Mac too when there were fewer tools http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=218480#p218480 think it was resolved by removing everything and reinstalling the whole set from scratch...].
Are you sure you have all of the rb's and png's in the right folders ?
There are currently only 7 tools - you show 8 - the extra [first] button is a 'false' one...
What EEby.. tool does it open?
It suggests to me that you have a duplicate rb loading from perhaps one of those Mac's dreaded extra 'personal' Plugins folders [scripts should all be in 'root' level Plugins folder ?].
Use the Finder and search for any.rbfiles starting withExtrudeEdgesBy...there should only be the 7 in the proper Plugins folder.
There's also a toolbar loader called#extrusionToolbar.rb- that should also only be found in Plugins folder - that file just makes the toolbar for the other tools to add on too as they each load in turn... -

There are a few minor tweaks to some db text and newly rephrased FR lingvo files by Didier Bur [sorry Pilou - he is a 'Professor'

it's there even when TIGTools folder + rubies are the only items added to fresh instal of SU
doesn't hurt anything..

This extra button is a mystery as it only affects a few Mac users ???
Any Mac-users got any ideas ???

TIG,
This tool set has been a blessing. Have followed it closely since you first posted them as individual plugins. Must say it's a tremendous example scripting prowess that have moved the goal posts in terms of SU capabilities. Congrats!
Do you think it us possible to implement a coloured highlight feature which indicates rail selection from profile selection? Along the lines of Whaats SDS Crease tool. It would mimic what's seen in each icon. It's not really an issue more a graphical aid.
-
TIG, in addition to your toolbar showing a blank button, I also get a blank button on my Mac with Jim Folz's MakeOrthoViews.rb I have no idea what causes it though. Maybe if you look at Jim's script it will give you a clue?
Edit - just realised Jim's script is encrypted!

It would be possible to color profiles and rails differently rather than select them with the normal highlighting - but what colors would you like ? I could get it to trace over them with the 'draw' command while the tool is active with any standard colors you like ? I tend to avoid RGB as they are axial how about profile=cyan, rail1=magenta, rail2=dark_cyan and profile2=dark_magenta - it'll vary across tools as some have different selection needs etc - also the last item picked doesn't always highlight well - but that's the challenge ! -
Thanks for the reply. I think your suggestion of colours is the way to go. And will compliment the tool quite well. I see how it can't be applied to certain tools but still think it'll be well received

Here's another update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
The picked curves/faces etc are now highlighted and 'color-coded' [this depends on the tool***]
Typically they are:Profile[Face] =Cyan
Rail/Rail1 = Magenta
Rail2 = DarkVioletRed
MeldingProfile[Face] = DarkCyan
OtherFace = Orange
***See each Tools notes...
