Double Line 2 (dline.rb update)

@tig said:
In passing... I not that you latest version of dline2 missed a 'start_operation' around line #287 so it's still not v6 compatible...
It's effectively defining 'double-click' to be taken as 'enter' - I note that ones 'Double ligne' and the others 'Double line' are also probably typos left over from Didier...I only intended to add some user-interface niceties such as persistent options for selfish reasons, and didn't look too closely at the other parts of the script. I did add version checking to the other start_operation, thanks.

Your download link isn't working for me again [ http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=33875#p297720 viewtopic.php?f=323&t=33875#p297720 ]
It should be http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=297720#p297720 viewtopic.php?p=297720#p297720 ???
What do you get if you copy the link from the 'square' as I suggested earlier ? -

whilst I am sure that there are very 'good reasons' for your suggested approach, I can still see little benefit to me personally to break a habit of a lifetime and actually do things 'properly'
I might have to take your attitude on this one.

Thank you so much to both of you Dear Tig and Jim.
Double line works now "like a charm" in V6

No one really responded when I asked the question about begin-rescue clause with start_operation. Probably a poor choice for a topic sentence on my part.
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22338Great minds think alike... fools never differ...
I agree that this begin-rescue way is less prone to error like your .version v. .version_number typo which screwed Pilou's v6...I'm sticking with the explicit version check because it is self-explanatory. The reader can understand from the code that something has changed in SketchUp version 7.0.
The begin-rescue clause is cryptic, and doesn't explain anything.

I have downloaded and installed the original dline plugin on Sketchup 8 Pro and it seems to work fine. I have installed it on Sketcup 8 free version and it does not show up in the Draw tab. Is this plug in good only on Pro or should it work in the free version?
Also....
I have also installed the dline2 plugin and when I try to use it the settings window does not open up when I select it from the Draw menu like it did on dline.
Help me out someone! -
Hi,
The trick is to press the TAB key anytime you want to set new parameters for your "walls". It's an enhancement by J. Foltz but I forgot to display it in the status bar.
I've published a patch for dline2 on SU8 here: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=804Regards,

Hi,
Don't know why it doesn't work on your side.
Workaround: open dline2.rb in a text editor, replace the four last lines with these:#Menu #if( not file_loaded?("dline2.rb")) UI.menu("Draw").add_item("Double Line") { Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(Bur;;Dline_Tool.new) } #end #file_loaded("dline2.rb") -

require sketchup.rb- which is required forfile_loaded?to work.
Other users probably had plugins that loaded before this plugin that required the file and therefore the bug has not been noticed. -
Thanks TT, I was not aware of that. It is fixed (at least on RLD because I cannot edit Jim's post
). -
This plugin does not show up on my mac version. No load error, no selection in the menu.
I have tried it in both plugin folders
Any suggestions?Thanks
David

Hi,
@Mac users: please help dmorong if you can, because the script works here on Mac -
Thanks for the confirmation, I had not looked in the Draw Menu, just in plugins and tools. So on a Mac it loads in the Draw Menu, which certainly makes sense.
The info on the Ruby Depot says it will load in the Tools Menu. -
sorry, jim and didier,
as far as I am concerned, dline2 on mac is hardly an improvement over dline. I get no dialog and the tool behaves oddly. see below: a z-shaped wall ends up like two triangles. going back to dline. thanks anyway.

I also tried it out, once I found it, and the tab key does not invoke the options palette, so there is no way to adjust the parameters. A well designed double line tool, like the one in Bonzai, would be really useful in my field. (design for film and stage)

two suggestions: the old dline and the wall tool in 1001bit tools, a fine set of plugins.

Hii Everybody can u make tutorials of this topics ................

Is this still available anywhere? The download link no longer works. I like the dline2.rb that I got from http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=804, but haven't figured out a way to change the default values. I like the idea of it storing the last values used.
Thank you!
Chris B.
