[Plugin] Component Stringer UPDATED May 23, 2013

Chris Fullmer · 6 Sept 2010, 06:51

Yeah, screenshot please I have not gotten around to testing my plugins with version 8. I'm sure there might be some problems. But problems with scaling and orientation were not on my list of things I was expecting to break - so I'm not exactly sure what might be wrong. But screenshots might help, thanks!

Component Stringer Loading Problem

I loaded the RB into sketchup folder..but when trying to activate, it doesn't work.

Ruby Console showing:

Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d>
C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:79:in add_text' C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:79:in curve_labeler'

C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~2/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:190

Any help, Chris?

Anyone tried this with SU8 yet? I seem to be having difficulty with component orientation and scaling.

Screenshots? Would help with more specific information.

I found the bug, it was on this side of my computer screen.

This is just the same error message that I see on my ruby console; I've got su7Pro and this message appears also on SU6;I've tried many times to download "Component Stringer"script but ther is not any changement...............what's the problem??

Chris Fullmer · 13 Jan 2011, 19:47

Hmm, does it fail everytime you try it? Can you upload a small test file here for me?

Are you using the Itallian Language of SketchUp and is your computer set to Itallian?

Upload a test model, I'll start by looking at that.

Nice plugin Chris, would love to see an option to use the tangent of the two edges at the node rather than perpendicular to one edge

thank you so much for your help....

I'm getting this:

Nothing happens, no dialogue box.

Nothing happens, no dialogue box.

The relevant code is this [ending line #103


        sel = model.selection
###...............
		comp = []
		$arc_labels = []
		comp_height = []

		sel.each do |e|
		  comp << e if e.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
		  edges << e if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Edge
		end

		comp_height = comp[0].definition.bounds.depth

So the error is saying that the selection [sel] doesn't contain a component-instance ?
Since 'nil' has no 'definition'...
It could be better trapped to stop if the selection contains no instances but...
SO - question: does the selection contain a component-instance when you run the tool ??

hi sr Chris Fullmer.
This plugin is generating the following error

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method edges' for nil:NilClass> C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:59:in curve_ordering'
C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:56:in times' C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:56:in curve_ordering'

C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:190

I use sketchup8 pro

It is possible to fix?

Thank you very much

Chris Fullmer · 11 Jun 2011, 06:43

Can you supply the model or a part of the model you are working on? Is it repeatedable on all models for you?

jorge2011 · 30 Jun 2011, 11:11

that error can not play Mr. Chris, but the plugin works well in general.
thanks

Chris Fullmer · 1 Jul 2011, 16:30

ok, I hope it keeps working for you,

Chris

Hi chris,

Great plugin, however i have this on a model.

Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d>

/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/clf_component_stringer.rb:80

Here is a link for it http://www.mediafire.com/?aesv4fd1ccv1cvn

It does not get to the reverse option. The plugin works fine on a simple box and a curve.

SU8, OSX 10.6.7

It seems to write 'start' but not 'end'.

I hope it is useful, if you have time to have a quick look.

Regards

Sam

I am trying to make a chain like in the video in the first post. Must be doing something wrong because I'm getting what's in the picture below when I set the component rotation to 90°. Any advice? SU8 Free M2

Thank You
