[Plugin] Wudworx Board Maker Plugin (woodworking)
-
FYI. Plugin has a new upgraded version.
If you already have a wudworx plugin installed, just copy (overwrite) wwxtool.rbs and wwxboardmaker.rbs into the Plugins/wudworx folder and copy the icons into Plugins/wudworx/icons. make sure the rest of the files stay intact though.

hello
i will try your plugin this afternoon.
does it work with metrics ?
do you know festool's domino assembly system ? I could use a plugin for that too !
best regards
-
it would be handy that you could make groups and components
-
What's wrong with it making components?
The whole suite of Wudworx tools are excellent time savers for woodworkers who are drawing to the joinery level.

ther is nothing wrong whit it but it would be nice if you can groups to some times it is not handy to make components you need to make them unique when they are copy and they cant have the same name so when you juse cut list you get board#1 and board#2
-
I never use groups when I draw woodworking projects. I only use components and never have trouble.

But everything is there! WinXP SP3, SketchUP 8

Dedmin, I had this problem when I initially installed the plugin. It turned out that it was due to an RB file that another plugin installed. I think it was Extensions.rb. That file is supposed to be in SketchUp 8/Tools, not Plugins but one of the other plugins contained Extensions and added it to the Plugins folder. I deleted it from Plugins and Wudworx ran just fine.
-
Works now! Thanks, Dave!
-
Thank you for showing me that my memory isn't all bad.
-
We gonna keep it up with regular questions and asking for help!
-
thanks but you might have already gotten everything I remember in that one answer.

Excavated?
Do you mean do the legs get mortises for the tenons on the aprons? There is a mortise and tenon plugin in the Wudworx suite but it isn't part of the free Boardmaker. It creates the mortise and the tenon in one step by editing both components.

Trivial question
That is not shown on the video (4.55 minutes )
Does the legs parts are excavated?

Yes
So this one above don't make the mortises ? -
No. It just makes the boards and as you know, boards don't come with mortises pre-cut.
Take a look at this.
-
It would be handy to add this options:
Make groups/components
Ask for a name
Ask for a layer -
I'm just curious. Would you be willing to pay for the plugin if it had those options?
-
Here is a plugin I wrote that allows you to rename the board and places it on a layer of the same name. To use right click on the board component after it is made and select board to layer from the context menu.
