[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver

FenS · 7 Jan 2009, 12:26

Hi Oscar,

Did you already had an opportunity to look at my .skp?
I can create what i want with it, but that involves a lot of erasing unwanted lines and i am still wondering if this can be done in an easier way (i already have created the 'F/R/@'-image i wanted, but i have some more ideas i want to work out so i am very eager to learn a better/faster way.

Thanks again!

Fred.

Hi Fred,

Yes, I have tried your skp!
I am now starting to improved my script to avoid the "erasing unwanted lines".
At this moment, my new script(will be released soon / ver 2009) is operate inside group, that means the boolean result is inside a group.
Secondly, the speed is improved.
Now, It is the stable issue need to improved.

Oscar
Happy Chinese New Year!

I already love your new 'avoid erasing unwanted lines'-script!

(actually i thought it was already possible but i just was not seeing how,
looking forward for your new one!)
Happy Sketchyear to you too

Hi Oscar,

Is it true that your tool only works with version 7 of Sketchup? If so, is there a way I can get it to work with the previous version? I have a slew of plugings I would have to migrate if I can't. And just to make sure I'm doing this right, I put the file in the plugins directory, correct?

Thanks for the script.

Thank you very much for this brilliant rb. Would you mind to share us the brief idea of the mechanism of this plugin? I want to do a union thing, but find it quite hard to do it without any guide.

Best regards

For those who are saying nothing happens, well, you have to make each object a group/component. I was having the same problems like some of you until i made each object separate from eachother. When you place them together you choose one object then right click to the plugin and choose "cut" and depending of which object you chose you'll get the "negative" or "positive" cut. Although, I think there is a bug when you place an object in a severe angle inside, it tends to cut almost all of the opposite object leaving expose in the air only the hole that the other object traced. I wonder if the creator of this plugin is still working on the new release.

looks great !
tried both OSCoolean.rbs and OSCoolean.rb but neither worked...
I'm using SU6 under MacOS X 10.5 OS.
any working version for mac ?
thanks a lot

hi,
just out of curiosity how does the OSCoolean differ from the commercial booltools plugin?

pilou · 7 Feb 2010, 23:52

In theory nothing but in practice that is an another story

For the information of te "rest of the World", Oscarlok updated the plugin (see the first post as of October 2010) for SU 8.

He just forgot to add a new post or bump the topic otherwise.

OSCAR

In your Oct release, only three icons are displayed. And the last two, cut and intersect perform the same function.

Thanks for your work with this plugin.

Hello Ken,

I am sorry for that! I have changed it to the New OCT version. The previous one is still Sept version.

Thanks Ken

Does it work in SU 7.1 as well?

This is a SU 8 only。Maybe in the next next version。。。。

shura · 2 Oct 2010, 19:28

thanks oscarlok, just collecting reasons to upgrade, you know

mitcorb · 2 Oct 2010, 20:41

I never could get the version for Sketchup7 to work??

mitcorb · 3 Oct 2010, 22:41

Bumping this just in case someone knows a solution to making the older version work in SU7?

pilou · 3 Oct 2010, 22:59

Someone said that disable SketchyPhysics permits to use OSCoolean in V7 (?)

mitcorb · 4 Oct 2010, 10:45

I do not have Sketchyphysics. Must be some other tool. I will try to run it with the console on, capture and post back.

Here's what I get trying to Intersect a simple cylinder group and a cube group which I set overlapping or coincident in the same location :
