[Plugin] TextureTools

Well TIG in SU it's always comma or semicolon (for example when drawing a rectangle) for me, even the plugins, while in CAD, for example, it's always dot...
Anyway here is what i get in the ruby console:1.23.class Float -

I know in EU etc in the SKP's UI the '.' swaps with the ',' and then the ',' with the ';' BUT in the Ruby API I must always use a '.' as the decimal-separator, ',' as the list-separator and ';' as a line-break...
However I'd have expected that the SUp UI would seamlessly swap float '.' for ',' when displayed inputed in a UI.inputbox() to suit the locale, as it seems to take ',' in strings to convert to 'lengths' ?? -

I've copied and pasted ALL the text you posted, sorry...
Here you have the results of every single line1.23.class Float 1,23.class Error; #<SyntaxError; (eval);894; compile error (eval);894; syntax error 1,23.class ^> (eval);894 1.23.to_l 1.23 1,23.to_l Error; #<SyntaxError; (eval);894; compile error (eval);894; syntax error 1,23.to_l ^> (eval);894 '1.23'.to_l Error; #<ArgumentError; (eval);894;in `to_l'; Cannot convert "1.23" to Length> (eval);894 '1,23'.to_l 0.484251968503937 -
Hi TIG,
I had probe to type the text in Ruby Console and this the result:
I'm in Spain (EU) and i use metric units.

So, as I suspected...
I'll reissue a trapped version that will take '.' or ',' as the decimal-separator in the inputbox for every tool, BUT it will if it's a string value it'll convert it to ',' to suit your locale and make a length from it if it has to... entering a number with a ',' it WILL work without failing [IF the locale supports] BUT it'll convert it back into a '.' when you OK the dialog...
Watch for an update... -
Ah yes, A period is as important to a programmer as it is to his girlfriend.

I hadn't anticipated you weird Eurpoeans using a ',' as a decimal point rather than a sensible '.'
I can easily trap that in the code... I'll release an update later today - it should also have new tools added - TextureScale and TextureTweak...
...waiting for the fix. -
Here's v1.5 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=329765#p329765
Irrespective of their locale, users may now type a '.' OR a ',' as a decimal-separator, depending on their preference, for any of the tools' dialogs - issues with conversion of strings to lengths from potential locale-wrong input is addressed in the code, 'behind the scenes'.Feedback please...

Just tried it, win7 64 bit skp 8... works fine and I must say this is one of the best plugins ever made!!!

Hi TIG,
all functionality working very well on the Mac, except toolbar tooltips.
They work if I put the icons in the custom toolbar but not on the standard, floating toolbar.
not a big issue here, just thought I'd mention it.

The same, it works perfect on Mac.

TIG, i have tried this:
-painted a surface with a material;
-used one texture tool on the texture;
-picked the texture with the sample tool and painted other surfaces with different orientations.
Only with the "tweak" tool i get a strange behaviour following that workflow on connected faces. The texture looks a lot different on each plane... But if the planes are not connected it works just fine...
-
I think the built-in UV-mapping of connected-faces assumes a certain 'flow' of the material across their shared edges...
If you have separate faces then their textures are arranged logically on a per-surface basis.
Hence the different behavior of textures on separate and connected faces... -
Hmmm...That happens also with the "texture scale" tool if you input different values for U and V. But that doesn't happen if you use the native "edit" and input different values for length and width. (picture below)
-
Hmmm... this is v1... perhaps there's more to do...
-
No worries it's already a wonderful set of tools.

Thanks TIG! Most helpful plugin of the year!

Thank you so much for this, it is very helpful!
