      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'

              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.

                      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

                            I'm getting this:

                              The relevant code is this [ending line #103

                              
                                      sel = model.selection

                              		comp_height = []

                              		  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:190

                                I use sketchup8 pro

                                It is possible to fix?

                                Thank you very much

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

                                  Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

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

                                        Hi chris,

                                        Great plugin, however i have this on a model.

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

                                        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

                                            It all has to do with where the component axis is set. It looks like its oriented correctly, its just not centered right. Then once the chain is made, you need to edit the component and extend one end of it so that it overlaps into the other components, which I think I did in the video.

                                            But first, spend some time figuring out how to center the component axis better.
