[Plugin] Slicer5

TIG · 20 Jan 2012, 11:30

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 the Plugins folder by mistake.
There should be two files in the Plugins folder
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...

I've noticed an error with the 'Portuguese' lingvo file that was recently supplied with v5.11
It's incorrectly named 'PO' and it contained no translations anyway !
Here's the correct 'PT' version.TIG-SlicerPT-lingvo.zipExtract it from the zip.
If you want Portuguese translations, please remove the incorrect 'PO' version and add this correct 'PT' one to the tool's subfolder. If your 'locale' is not 'PT' you can always change that part of the name to suit...

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' ?

Hello TIG: plug-in menu bar, the ability to fold? Thank you

I assume by 'fold' you mean 'combine into a single submenu'. [Do you use Google Translate?]
To make that you'll need to recode the menu making part of the script.
Here is how to do it.
the original code [around line#669] looks like this:

  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmd)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmds)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmda)
  UI.menu("Plugins").add_item(cmdx)

This is it recoded with an extra line to make the submenu within the 'Plugins' menu; and the other four lines adjusted to add their commands into that rather than directly into the 'Plugins' menu:

  submenu=UI.menu("Plugins").add_submenu(S5+"...")
  submenu.add_item(cmd)
  submenu.add_item(cmds)
  submenu.add_item(cmda)
  submenu.add_item(cmdx)

The 'S5' constant is the deBabelized string for 'Slicer5', used as the name for the submenu plus '...'.
If users would prefer this method I could incorporate it into a new release.
So feedback please...

This can shorten the length of plug-ins drop-down menu!

Thank you TIG

Want to smooth the edges the better!!

TIG · 22 Jan 2012, 11:21

The more facets that the sliced object has the smoother the edges of the slices...

TIG · 22 Jan 2012, 22:32

Guanjin
Could you post your Chinese lingvo file [zipped] for other fellow users to benefit from - it's only fair - the rest of the tool is freely shared...

TIG · 22 Jan 2012, 22:40

Here's v5.12 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=374969#p374969
Extra traps added for 'non-instances' within slice-collections [e.g. when slotting after editing].
Code CONSTANTS added for optional menu-location/single-submenu.
The lingvo files are now all UFT-8 encoded, to avoid problems when copying.
Typos in the FR lingvo file corrected, the correct PT Portuguese lingvo is now included.

guanjin · 23 Jan 2012, 06:06

Yes, I posted on there?

Bertier · 23 Jan 2012, 08:37

massively awesome !

TIG · 23 Jan 2012, 09:48

Thanks to Guanjin here's the Chinese lingvo file.
Unzip it and put it into the TIG-Slicer subfolder in the Plugins folder...TIG-SlicerZH-CN-lingvo.zip
It will be included in the zipped package, with future updates too...

TIG · 25 Jan 2012, 22:53

Here's v5.13 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=374969#p374969
The latest Chinese lingvo file is now included in the set.
The RZ solutions have been improved: now less prone to error with complex shapes made when the ORIGIN is within the bounding-box of the sliced-object: useful when making horizontal Z[blue] slotted-ribs with R[amber] radially arranged slotted-spars in the vertical [rotate the slice-object onto its 'nose', if you want to transpose the rib/spar arrangements]...
