[Plugin] Greeble 2 released! (Updated August 31st, 2009)

pilou

Avec comme unité les mètres
Essaie avec ces valeur avec une figure qui fait au minimum 100 m par 100 par 100 m !
Pour avoir une extrusion continue
Il faut répondre oui à la question pour faire un "group" de la boite de dialogue une fois le plug lancé
Exploser le groupe résultat et recommencer

pilou

About the repetition from the last action : now we must make that
Select faces

@unknownuser said:

begin
Grebble with "Yes I want grouping the all topmost faces"

else any faces will be not selected for a next grebbling
Result
Explode group = new topmost faces selected
goto begin

it's possible but a little painful
Vieria Da Silva inspiration (cool gallery zoom possible)

Another thing: using the new plug of Selection aera by Sdmitch on a complex Greeble volume
Some faces are selected as wished, but the Greebble makes nothing
Have you some tests inside Grebble for exit if some faces are in particular positions (overlapsed) ?
(make nothing also with normal selection

Hey Chris, haven't look at it but i read in the previous version of this plugin that you planned on integrating a cancel button to cancel script execution.
Did you find a solution for this?

Thx

Chris Fullmer

No, this was one of the first scripts I ever wrote and I probably said that before I knew how how hard that can be to do. I really never even tried to do it though.

El_Sexto

Hi guys ! somebody have the solution for the bertier problem plz ?

TIG

Bertier never posted his problem SKP or anything further to help us, so it went no further...
If you are experiencing similar problems then please post the full error messages from the Ruby Console etc, and a copy of a SKP that displays this aberrant behavior...

El_Sexto

Ok

Ruby Message : #Sketchup::Face:0xcc62710 did not offset:

I used Sketchup 8, meters dimension and i use the Pilou's setting : 10,-10 ... and the Default setting, 1',-1'... and i have the same result : Anything !

Thanx.

model.skp

Chris Fullmer

What did you type to make it offset? I think it is does not work very well with meters, and might not work at all with comma's as decimal place deliminators. Meaning 1,2 should be written as 1.2 if you are from a part of the world that uses a comma as a decimal place.

pilou

No problem with your model Model.SKP! (in V8) Works like a charm! (I am on PC)
Greeble buildings are just in the other side
Are you sure you have also in the plugins folder
Progress bar and Offset?

El_Sexto

Thanx guys for your answer !

Pilou : u can see the folder, offset and progressbar are here.

Chris :in this model i have not deliminators; see the attachment, 10,10,-2,-2,0,100 and i have also use the default and Pilou values plugin folder

masterplan

it doesnt work for me.

Gaieus

Masterplan (welcome, BTW) please, be more specific. What are you doing exactly and what do you expect? Is there any error message? Maybe attach a file that "does not work for you" or something.

For a sentence "it does not work for me" one can only answer "well that sucks". Give as much info as possible otherwise you will be left hanging...

pilou

@ El-sexto
That is very mysterious
What can I say? That works for me with your model with your version of SU
Does this version the last one ?
Have you try with a previous version of SU ?

El_Sexto

Yes I tried with sketchup 7 - Maybe i should try with the version 1 ...

Chris Fullmer

Do you get any better results if you lift the geometry off the groundplane?

Just to verify (again), but you do have the most recent greeble and offset scripts from http://www.smustard.com?

What language is your Operating System set to?

I'll see if I can test this later tonight, sorry its not working!

Chris

pilou

Make just a test from a cube!
Select the top face and launch the plug...
here i call it twice with thes same entries
SU 6, last version of greeble
Not sure of the units used "inside" the Plugin (maybe royal units )
My unit "outside" the plug is meter with 2 decimals
I input in the box dialog number without unit

I am getting the same error that was posted by El_Sexto on Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:59 am. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the files from smustard with no effect. It doesn't matter what I try to do it on, it never works. I'm running on win 7 64 bit, and the only important thing i have installed is vray for sketchup. Everything else is normal.

pilou

So use Protrude by Jim Foltz waiting Chris Fullmer debuging (if bug exists that is not proved)

Chris Fullmer

Hmm, I'll re-download the files and install from scratch when I get some time. Currently that is not looking like any time soon though. Its been about 2 weeks of near all-nighters I've not got much capacity to look into it at the moment.

corgano

Right, so I got the protrude plugin as you recommended. It works ecpt for the offset function. for some reason offset.rb is not offsetting the faces, so it isn't so much a problem with either Greeble or protrude, but with offset.rb. I will do more debugging on offset.rb to see if I can narrow it down...
