[Plugin] [CityGen] - Street Generator [WIP] (0.5.2a)

I see.
The reason the angles differ, is because I based it off the centre line. You see the Red and Green arc? That's the angles I measure.
I was thinking of the angles as in how much it rotated away from the centre line - like if you'd be driving down the street; how many degrees you'd have to turn.
That's why the red and green radius is located by the centre line instead of the street edge. The colour coding was meant to illustrate which edge corner the angle related to.
Interesting how you had a different approach to it. That's what I was curious of. It'd be good if more people could let me know how they'd expect it to work. What feels more intuitive.

Not sure where to post this or even if it's relevent, if anyone wants to be part of this city gen app follow link: http://www.fileplanet.com/promotions/cities-xl/?_cmpid=fp161

Yea, I was thinking of maybe adding a brush painting tool. Where you can sweep. Or maybe have a large hit-radius.
I think that would be a welcome addition to the plugin. I was having frustration issues when I tried to paint lines earlier for my demo too.... They are tricky little things to pin down with the bulky paintbucket.

This is my first look at this forum.
Painting edges; that was what initiated the request I posted a day or so ago here:

Been a long break from this project. Other things has taken priority. Just wanted to upload the latest version I had on disk.

Hi Thom.-
here is me again, now back in Spain. I'd tested city generator and found some bugs in the use. I don't Know if it's due to the configuration (as I told you before) or is a real bug in the programming.
I'm using Skechup 7.1 with many plugins instaled and here the main bug I found:
I can't modify the parameters on "define streets", can't create news types or change the predef-values
best regards

The define streets dialogue isn't finished yet. I meant to disable it before I uploaded, but forgot.

I'll wait for news...

Hi Thom,
First, thank you for your work on this plugin.Unfortunately I can't make it load in SU
-
Follow the link under Requirements

-
Can't believe that I dindn't find this earlier. This is exactly what I need, thank you!
-
Don't thank anyone til you try it
It was a project that was started, and got alomst no-where. Thom got some of his parts working with the street generator, but that is about the only thing that works I think.Post questions or comments here though. This is a project we are all keen on getting started again.

I tried it and it works perfectly fine for my purposes. I don't know about the other parts that were planned for this project but the Street Generator does exactly what I want it to do, so thank you again.

Street Generator is FANTASTIC!!!!
Thanks!! -

"The CityGen's core files is not laoded. ensure you installed this plugin correctly"
I opened up the zips to both the core and streetgen and copied into Plugins

Because StreetGen goes into a subfolder of CityGen. The description has detailed info.

Is there any clips on the net that show this working???

Ok iv moved the files into the correct location, boot sketchup and I get no error message, now how do i use the plugin ?

Apparently I'm being quite thick about this install. I've read the Requirements and notes several times and tried it several ways, each resulting in errors and failed loads.
The 'module' subfolder is an actual folder into which street gen and other such modules are placed or just a stand-in name for street gen and such?
city_gen_loader.rb goes under tools or plugins?
My current:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Tools\city_gen_loader.rb
and also since nothing works (is this duplication a problem, for the moment?)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\city_gen_loader.rb
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\city_gen.rb
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins\citygen\street_gen.rbI have another instance of SU running, but that shouldn't interfere should it if I shut this one down to make install changes?
Readme.txt from citygen modules subfolder:
This is the module and support folder for CityGen.
All .rb files in this folder is loaded by city_gen.rb.
Make a new folder for eah module, and place a loading .rb here.
Example:
Plugins\city_gen.rb <- Core CityGen file
Plugins\Gity_Gen\street_gen.rb <- Core Street Generator module file - loaded by city_gen.rb
Plugins\City_Gen\Street_Gen\ <- Street Generator's support folderTips appreciated.

Parameters accept but do not generate 'feet', as far as I can tell. It would be nice if the model units were enforced, if they cannot be specified otherwise, and that settings could be remembered. Sorry if that is too obvious and has been said before.
Any tips for this minor error in the street generated? I made sure the centerlines intersected. Green is the 60' ROW; gray is the 24' road itself, both generated from the blue centerline.
