Excellent

Frederik

Haven't downloaded this plugin - yet - but it looks really interesting...

If you feel this tool useful then I want you to donate for 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunamim,please.
It will cheer us strongly.

I feel deeply sorry for all the Japaneese families affected by this tragic event...
What a great idea to give donations to 2011 Japanese Earthquake and Tsunamim...

NB! Please ensure that any website you donate to is official and genuine...!!!
Anybody here know a good site, besides International Red Cross or your local Red Cross webpage...??

The American Red Cross also accepts donations via text message. Text "redcross" to 90999, and you can make a $10 donation to the organization.

Contribute $10 via the Salvation Army - text "japan" or "quake" to 80888.

Dear tak2hata

Needless to say out hearts go out to the people of Japan and most personally to yourself as an example of generosity and the goodness of your people.

World Vision and the Red Cross are secure recommends to send help to.
Thank you for giving us all a heads up to help.
We pray for you all.

For those in the UK, here is a news bulletin from the Disasters Emergency Committee:

Redirecting to https://www.dec.org.uk/

(www.dec.org.uk)

They point to the Red Cross as the most competent organisation to help in a developed country like Japan:

Save The Children have also launched an appeal:

Thank you a lot.
At present, because I am away from a horrible place,I am safe.

Please use this plug-in without holding back because it is completely free.
It is hope that it is the most insufficient in Japan now.
The following are donation.

Hi,d12dozr and watkins.
"Red Cross" is a famous group also in Japan.
That is one of best choices.
And the site made by Google also accepts donation.

I suspect you have misinstalled from the zip file.
When a script comes in a zip file you usually get one script [.rb] file and a folder containing everything else that the rb file 'loads' or needs to work.
The 'loose' rb file and the folder MUST be put into your Plugins folder exactly as they are arranged in the zip file.
Do not move files from the subfolder into the Plugins folder.
This shows the only two additional things that you should have in your Plugins folder after the installation. If you have put some of the files in Plugins that should actually be in the subfolder then please move/remove as needed...

Seems like a fantastic tool, although I can't get it to work- "Can`t click "Next point". Any tool." Same as maxosmedia. I'm using windows XP with SU v7 and reloaded it as TIG suggested. I was wondering if there is conflict with another plug-in? Just a guess as I have no experience writing ruby.

TIG, Thank you! I just did. Therefore, no error at this point. Error may be found in document building_structure_tool.rb strings 5—10:

%(#FF0000)[require 'building_structure_tool\tst_main.rb'
require 'building_structure_tool\tst_extend_to_face.rb'
require 'building_structure_tool\tst_extend_to_structure.rb'
require 'building_structure_tool\tst_chamfer_structures.rb'
require 'building_structure_tool\tst_grow_to_structure.rb'
require 'building_structure_tool\tst_grow_to_face.rb']

These lines contain a "" instead of the "/" for macintosh file system.

If I correct the document building_structure_tool.rb, the tool is loaded with no error messages, but the tool does not work!
Can`t click "Next point"

tak2hata

Hi, TIG and maxosmedia.
Thank you for helping.
I am out now.
I will correct it after.
I will investigate the cause.

Please wait for a while.

yeh, me too , no second click possible, (SU pro 8 on Vista platform)....

I have now loaded the tool and get the same problems...
Here are two 'tweaked' files that work.
Replace one in Plugins and the other in the tool's own subfolder.
I have swapped the \ to / in the 'require' statements.
I have trapped a 'read_default' error. The author having used/tested the tool for some time won't have realized that his code crashed if a particular registry entry was missing [probably as he had written that entry ages ago in earlier tested code], but because it crashes at the start the entry never gets written ! In 'tst_main', at line #123, I've added a trap so there is no crash and it now works, writing the needed registry entry the first time you use the tool, and so all is now well...building_structure_tool.rb tst_main.rb

thanks to both tak2hata & Tig

I can finally test it, and it seems a plugin with great potential

Thanks TIG!
Thank you for helping.
It was not hit on at all where I am necessary to put up the hand.
