[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set

TIG · 10 Mar 2010, 09:35

Shall I leave you FRench purists to ponder ?
It's easy enough for you to edit your own FR lingvo files to say whatever you like - just open with Notepad and do a Find/Replace on the offending phrase and insert what you prefer...
Extruder des arêtes par profilage entre courbes

your
Tendre une surface entre 2 courbes
or
Maillage entre courbes snappier
or
Courbes vers maillage ???
It's your language, so say it how you like...

Even EN-US users can even reword what their English version says, so
Extrude Edges by Loft
could be edited to
Loft a Mesh using Selected Curves
which is perhaps a more accurate name, but personally I am now 'stuck' with the EEby... epithet for these tools.

Don't worry! At the end that is the best!

fantastic, yet again... and it works even on my Mac...

so a question about spacing of interconnects.

can they be set equal, i.e. distance between lines A and B = x equally spaced new lines?

Because it's a 'bezier' curve that joins the curves the segments are not evenly spaced: however, some have asked if the 'segments per section' could be set individually - I am thinking about that...

I second that!

I find "Edges by Rails" to be by far my favorite of the set. I find it has the most predictable and satisfactory results.

Hi TIG,

Do you think that you could add the date to the topic title when you update them? I find myself checking it daily to see if you've updated the toolset.

With the frequency that you bang out revisions it's hard to keep up with you

Just a thought

The zip has the date as its name e.g. extrudeTools_20100312.zip and I do add an announcement to say it's changed and a link back to the base page, and I do add announcements to the individual tools' page too - linking back to their base pages, which in turn link back to the zipped set's base page. I stopped adding the update's date or version rference to the threads title because I kept forgetting to change it when I updated the zip ! By putting the date in the zip's name I avoid that error...
So the answer to your request is... 'No'

Rich O Brien · 15 Mar 2010, 10:05

I suppose i was being a little unreasonable

Must organize myself a bit better

Here is an updated set http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
Several of the files had a potential [but very rare] glitch in calling sub-methods - it has now been fixed.
The very few users who reported these problems should try this update and see if they now have a fully working set...
Feedback please.

TIG · 30 Mar 2010, 16:14

Here's another update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
EEbyLathe has been changed - see its updated help thread for full details...
It now has dynamic angle and segment [45 or 9s] entry in the VCB and a 'ghost display' of what it'll make OR if you enter 0 as the angle you can pick two points to set the rotation angle, with <Alt> to toggle <>180 degrees and <Shift> to toggle c/clockwise...
The affected 'lingvo' files will be updated shortly...

ken28875 · 30 Mar 2010, 17:39

Great! Thank you, Sir.

Here's the update with the lingvo files updated for EEbyLathe http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
I suspect that at least he Chinese one could do with some work

Thanks TIG.

Can I ask you to change the title of your first post with the date when you update the scripts? It would be helpful to all to know when the last update was without sifting through the threads.

You could always just look at the first post in this thread - the zip file has the date on the end of it...
I stopped adding the version/date onto the post title as I often forgot it and caused even more confusion ?

boofredlay · 31 Mar 2010, 19:11

One could do that yes but I don't read the threads every time there is a new reply. It would be nice to look at the topic title and see if there is a more recent update of the plugin.

Just a thought.

I would forget to do it now and again - but I always post to bump the topic and link that to the updated first page....
