[Plugin] Architect Tools

is your question why curves and arcs is exploded when flattened?
it's because SU applies geometric restrictions to transforming an arc's vertices.
I suppose arcs might be preserved if the arc is parallel to the ground.

Version 1.1.0

Grid Divide

thomthom · 5 Feb 2011, 21:11

Version 1.2.0

Bug fixes
Improvement to the Generate Building feature. Does a lot more work to extract usable data when generating the buildings.

Make sure to update TT_Lib2

I wanted to make a toolbar for this plugin, but I have so many thing to do that I'll have to wait for a later release. Sorry.

It contains the best flattening routine in SU! Thank you!
Bugs:
If I take some vanilla line and try to 'grid dividing' I get a runtime error in line:29 (expected identifier,string or number).
P.S. + Error in line 9 (UI is undefined)
P.P.S. Apparently 'grid dividing' executes itself twice. In attachment, I just extruded the result of zigzag dividing.

What is the size of the 'tt_plan_tools.rb' file you got? From the error it seems that it's truncated at line 43...

hm.. I don't understand this error. I can not reproduce it at all.
I wonder if the file has become corrupted. Can you send the the file you have?

Also, what is the OS and SketchUp version you use?

That's the same Windows and SU version I use. I do not comprehend at all why you get that error.

Can you post a screenshot of your plugins folder? and thre TT_Lib2 folder?

From SketchUp or the Webdialog? Again, is it the full error message?

What version of IE do you have installed?

thomthom · 6 Feb 2011, 22:13

@blajnov: I really have no idea why you get those errors. Though your SketchUp folder looks odd. lots of other plugins folders. (but that might not mean much..)
I can't read the language your OS is in, but is there anything in the Explorer window that says something like "Compatibility Files" when you're in the plugins folder?

thomthom · 6 Feb 2011, 23:35

rv1974: I've installed XP Mode and tried it out on a virtual PC with IE7 and I see the error. Seems to be an issue with IE7 and older. Will look into it next week.

At work, set your plugins, everything runs fine, no problems ...
In the evening, I will seek a solution on a home computer.

Maybe try with an empty plugin folder. Rename your old and install just Plan Tools to see if it works isolated?
