[Plugin] Silhouette to Plane v1.1

TIG:
When I click on the script's download button the #SilhoutteTpoPlane.rb downloads. I put the script in the plugins directory of SU8. When I open SU8 I get the following error:

%(#FF0000)[Error Loading File #SilhouetteToPlane.rb
no such file to load -- #WorkPlane.rb]

Should #WorkPlane.rb also have been downloaded?

Regards, John

IF you had read the notes you'd see that you need 'WorkPlane.rb'... because you must first make and then select a 'WorkPlane' with your other parts you want to project - that's how it knows what plane to project its result on to...

TIG, not sure if this is how you intended the script to work or not.

Using SU8. If I select a bunch of standalone geometry and a couple of groups, only the standalone geometry gets project to the working plane. Each group has to be selected individually to be projected.

Everything should project I'll check into it...
Do you get the same 'error' with components too ?

Hi TIG:

Yes, the script works with SU8 and with components. However, the selection set seems to require that it include all of one type of geometry only, either: all loose geometry or all groups or all components.

Attached is the test .skp I used.

Any plan to make this work in newer versions? Anyone know of an alternative? I could use this on a daily basis for my work.

Thanks!

This is an ancient free plugin...
What error rep0rts do you get in the Ruby Console when using it ?

If it's something simple I could look at a fix - if it's more complex then... who's paying ?

PS:

I just tested it [with WorkPlane] in v2020 and it seemed to work OK ?
What's the issues you get ?
