[Plugin] Slicer5
-
I did embolden the 'important part':
**TIG::Slicer.new()**
If you type/copy+paste that in the Ruby Console you'll see it starts 'Slicer5'.
If nothing is selected it produces the same error message as running it from the menu or the toolbar might.
So your own code either needs to ensure something suitable [i.e. ONE 'solid' group/component] is selected when it gets to that line of 'Slicer' code, or just before that line you need to use something like:
Sketchup.active_model.selection.clear Sketchup.active_model.selection.add(object)
which will ensure that the group/component-instance which the reference 'object' points to is the only thing selected when the 'Slicer' code kicks in...

....amazing! You have a solution for everything .... Thank you so much TIG!!!

Sorry, but I'm a very super beginner in SU and ruby-script language.....!!! And so my question is:
to run your 'Slicer5' plugin I can use the 'Plugins-menu item' or 'Slicer5-toolbar button click'.... -
ok thanks for Tip, but I'd like to launch your script...

hi TIG!... I downloaded the last version 5.11 and....You wrote 'The best Plugin all over the world!!!' for me!!!
But I use the old 5.5v!.. And I'd like to know a tip... Your script (5.5v) makes the menu: 'Plugins' and the item: 'Slicer5' inside it.
How can I simulate the... -

Do you understand how to make a 'lingvo' file ?
Here an overview...
Find your 'locale' id, in the Ruby Console thus:
Sketchup.get_locale.upcase
For Chinese it'll probably be
'ZH-CN'
Make a copy of theTIG-SlicerEN-US.lingvofile that is in theTIG-Slicersubfolder, within thePluginsfolder.
Name this copied file to match that, thus:
TIG-Slicer**ZH-CN**.lingvo
Edit that new lingvo file using a plain-text editor likeNotepad++.exe.
A lingvo file contains words or phrases; one 'set' per line.
In the English version the original word or phrase, and its translation are the same.
There is a special symbol separating the two parts
'<==>'.
For example...
Slicing tool**<==>**Slicing tool
Make your translation for the word or phrase.
Replace the right-hand version.
For example in 'Simplified Chinese' you could use something like...
Slicing tool**<==>**ๅ็ๅทฅๅ ท
Repeat your translations as desired...
Save the lingvo file.
When Sketchup restarts it should find this new lingvo file, and because it matches your locale it will translate any English matching words or phrases that it finds, using your locale's translations... Any words that you do not translate remain the same; so if you leave the line as
Slicer5<==>**Slicer5**
Your menu items etc will then say 'Slicer5' even though they will use Chinese translations for other words you might have given translations to...
Tip: You might need to 'convert' the lingvo file to a UFT-8 encoded type, to get the Chinese characters to be correctly displayed
You can easily do that with Notepad++.exe.

Please explain ore clearly - I don't fully understand you...
Are you getting error messages in the Ruby Console ?
What is failing ?
Is this after you have messed with a lingvo file ?
Does it work if you temporarily remove the lingvo file from the subfolder ?
Which version worked ?
Which version fails ?

Version 5.11, can not be achieved slice tile, without any prompting!

Let me try to recast what you said, as I understand it...
Version 5.11, does not make slices, without any error messages...
If has a toolbar and menu items, and you have a saved SKP, with just one group selected, and you run the tool... what happens ???
Because it is working successfully for me [and many hundreds of other users] then it suggests that you have something wrong in your installation.
Please try reinstalling everything.
Ensure that there are no copies of the files that should be in the tool's subfolder inside thePluginsfolder by mistake.
There should be two files in thePluginsfolder
Slicer.rb deBabelizer.rb
and a subfolder named
TIG-Slicer
containing
TIG-Slicer.rb
and the 8 PNG image files for the toolbar buttons
and the 6 lingvo files...

OK.
What you are saying is that when using a Chinese lingvo file the 'Flattening' function fails.
If you change the translation for the 'Flattening' parts of the lingvo back to the original file's text, does it then work ?
If so, then it suggests that some 'characters' in your translation are not working properly.
Did you use the 'UFT-8' option when saving the Chinese lingvo file ?
The translate strings go inside " " in the code, so you can't include any " in the translation, as it breaks the way the code reads it in...
Can you try alternative 'wording' ?
