Complex point of the porous,the generation process is very slow.

The more geometry there is the slower the processing.
It's inevitable.
Set it running and make some tea... -

Awesome plugin. I have enjoyed using it so far, just experimenting.
I have noticed it will hang if I breathe wrong when applying a large number of perforations. I can't tab to another program, it will simply lock SU up.
An idea - would it be possible to add a "random" or mathematical feature to the spacing and size? I.e., between 1" to 1'? Add a rotation feature, i.e. each new unit rotates 10 degrees "X", 5 "Y" and 12 "Z" (all 3 axis?), and finally to use one's own model as the subtracted shape?
I realize this may be completely prohibitive by SU's single core use and the added complexity of any intersections, but just a thought. One could come up with almost fractal-like iterations in a medium with these options.

It's almost certainly not 'hanging'.
It just takes ages to process and left to its own devices it will complete [eventually!]
Use the Task Manager to see that Sketchup is still processing away, although the screen has a 'white-out' - it's one of the quirks of SUp, when it's doing intensive calculations it looses the screen...
It does take a while to make all of the changes to the geometry - have patience...I do have some recoding ideas to speed it up [a little], but testing takes time too...

It is for v8-Pro only.
"Free" users will have any chance of using this excellent tool?Best regards!
-
v8-Pro only because it uses several API techniques only accessible to Pro - sorry...

Here's v1.3 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=395061#p395061
The speed has been improved by ~4x.
The 'shell' version still takes ~4x longer than an un-shelled version because of the many extra steps required - but while ~15 minutes is worse that ~4minutes, it is better than ~60 minutes !!
Some minor glitches have also been fixed with 3-sided setting out centrally. -

Amazing work, great potential for this tool...
Unfortunately is too slow for some of the complex shapes I had in mind, but I have trust that it will get better overtime (and yeah, my mobile i7 is not the fastest processor anyways...) -
TIG, you have once again created a surprising and promising tool. Thank you.

I'm curious as to how long it took you to create this?

I reproduced it [badly!]

Just tried the updated version. Very nice, considerably faster!

Hi everyone, i just need a little help here, trying to model up something which I can't. So here it goes:
- I used honeyecomber to get the normal triangle tessellation. (first image)
- I want to bend it and shape it like this! (second image)
I have been trying lots of ways i can think of but to no avail. thanks guys!
Gerald.

Hi TIG!
What an awesome tool! Unfortunately, I'm stuck with SketchUp8 (free). Is there anyway to make this tool work in the free version. If not, I understand.
Thanks for replying!

The plugin uses solid functions, which are only available in the PRO version. So I think there will be no (simple and practicable) way for him to change this...
-
Hi TIG,
After much time with the problem on Mac, I can say you the plugin works fine!!
Thanks for the update. -
Hi TIG,
is there any way not pro users can get this pluggin?
Thank you for all the good work. My best wishes for you
