[Plugin] Cloud

Thanks Didier
-
Thanks again for sharing.
-
now, if only I could find reliable dem sources for Italy...
Anyone know where I could look?

Thanks Didier,
I am about starting a new project where we not only reconstruct Roman architecture in my city but also contemporary ground surface (based on geological and archaeological research).
This is exactly the tool I need in these cases.
-
Nice to see it is useful
-
For me, it's an essential tool.
And it just gets better!
Merci Didier! -
The Points Cloud Export function will be a wonderful new tool for me, but I am having trouble with the Export dialog - if I highlight a face with one divide line, then choose Points Cloud >> Export, nothing happens. The Ruby Console shows:
Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion from nil to integer>
(eval):655:in[]' (eval):655:in
initialize'
(eval):1269:innew' (eval):1269:in
exportPointsCloud'
(eval):1281

Also - would it be possible to nominate a new (not World) origin for export, just as for Import? I will understand if you decide that it will make the tool too complicated.

Very useful, specially for terrain modelling

Hi,
@ Mozzie: please open the ruby console and copy-paste this line: Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
Hit enter and post what happens. You should have an integer returned, from 0 to 4. Any other result shows who's the culprit...
They changed the units options hash between 7.0 and 7.1 -

!!! ?
What? that has not been documented anywhere - has it? -
Hi,
v6: length unit is: Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
v7.0 length unit is: Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
v 7.1. length unit is: Sketchup.active_model.options[3][2]Am I right ?
-
oh, you meant the array index - I thought the hash key had changed:
` Sketchup.active_model.options.keys.each {|key| p key; Sketchup.active_model.options[key].each {|k,v| puts "> #{k} - #{v}"} }
"PageOptions"ShowTransition - false
TransitionTime - 2.0

LengthSnapLength - 0.0393700787401575

["PageOptions", "SlideshowOptions", "NamedOptions", "UnitsOptions", "PrintOptions"]`This is the same in all versions?
-
You shouldn't hard-code the units items like that [or any other option for that matter] - because the order can change with each build - instead use
model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]
that will work no matter what -

Of course ! I don't know why I didn't though of that before...Bug fixed, new version available, same place.
-
Thanks for the fix ... it is no longer necessry but result is;
Sketchup.active_model.options[0][2]
nilfor 7.1
-
There are four Cloud threads - can we clean these up please?
For instance;
Removing the download for the old ones,
Replacing [Plugin] with [Obsolete]
Add a link to the new version
Then finally lock the old ones?When I was looking at the plugin index it was confusing to what was the latest version.

@unknownuser said:
Difficult to keep track of what's new, some topics contain plugins but not the [Plugin] prefix, other topics are posted as questions and then a plugin is added but the first post not renamed with the prefix, etc.
Yea - we should do a cleanup of all these - have them reposted fresh and remove any outdated version.
-
Thanks very much for providing this plugin, we've recently invested in a Total Station & this translates the point data reliably. Providing a help file is also a boon.
We're also using TIG's contourmaker plugin, which helps when exporting to data to AutoCAD. -
Hi,
How to get Cloud_71.rbs and Cloud_6.rb to work?
My intention is to load elevation data of a terrain collected with the help of a GSP-logger to create a terrain model for a village. I noticed that there is a plugin Cloud_71.rbs in the Ruby Library Depot by Didier Bur. I understand that the plugin accepts elevation data, if it is in the CSV-format described in the pdf of the plugin. I downloaded Cloud_71.rbs in the plugin folder of Sketchup 7.1 (Windows XP Pro).
For some reason the Cloud_71.rbs didn't show up in the Plugin menu or any other menu either after restart of Sketchup 7.1. The older "Clouds" with extension .rb show up, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get them work with the downloaded sample files, although I browsed all the possible SketchUcation discussion forums and also some others for help.
Does anyone know if there is an any easy way to get the Cloud_xx.rb plugins to work? And how to get the Cloud_71.rbs plugin show up and make terrain in Sketchup 7.1 or even in the newer Sketchup 8? I'm convinced that there are ways - I just couldn't find the way.
I'd be grateful for your help.
Kind regards Erkki Finni

Hi,
Avoid having more than one version of a plugin installed at the same time, remove older versions of cloud script, this may cause the problem.
Hope this helps,
