[Plugin] FredoTools::ThruPaint - v1.3a - 20 Oct 16
-
can be applied a methodology similar to native sketchup materials, using the "Alt" to copy the properties of a material?

We cannot use ALT in scripts because when the key is UP it gives focus to the main Sketchup menu.
But I can do it on ShiftNote that you can also press the Enter key to sample the material under the mouse

I have updated as required Fredo Tools to 1.1n and Thru:Paint to 1.0n, however the Check Plugin for Updates still list the two programs as Fredo Tools as 1.1m and Thru:Paint as 1.0m.
Am I making a mistake, or is the new programs not registering correctly?
Thanks

Hi Fredo, i'm testing the last revision of ThruPaint 1.0n on Mac (OSX 10.6.8 & SU8) all works fine except that you say in the main post about Material Selector but i have found other problem the arrows don't work on Mac, it is not a big problem because i can introduce the values through the Measures or Visual Edition Mode.
Thanks for this great plugin!! -

Thanks for this great plugin!!Oxer,
Did it work in previous versions?
Or other Mac OS versions?Thanks

No, it doesn't work in previous version.
I haven't probed other Mac OS versions. -
This is really great, thank you for fulfilling my request!
It works great, just how I wanted it to. [[Just one small thing: It would be perfect to me if the "sample material" tool could also adopt the scale of the sampled material.
I hope I don't bother you with my daydreams... ]] edit: never mind, it works perfectly! -

Strange because it works for some other Mac users
Could you type in the Ruby Console
- VK_DOWN
- VK_UP
- VK_LEFT
- VK_RIGHT
Thanks

This is the result in the Ruby Console:

Thank you Fredo for this nice Plugin.
I have a problem
I have a Mac 10.6.8 and I cannot transform the texture. I tried all 3 ways you mentioned but they did not work.

Could you open the Ruby console and see if something is displayed.
It seems that the Arrows don't work on all Mac, but the VCB and Visual Editor should normally function correctly.Thanks

Thanks. Interesting to see that the value may be different depending on the Mac versions (on the Mac I have access to, VK_DOWN = 63233
Anyway, ThruPaint only use the symbolic constant value VK_DOWN and therefore should not be impacted by the internal value of the Arrows constants.
It seems also that several Mac users don't have any problem with the Arrows on Mac.
Just in case, could you type in the Ruby Console
Traductor.new_check_key(VK_DOWN, 0, 0)
.Also, when you try to exercise transformation by arrows on texture, could you leave the Ruby console open to see if an error message is displayed. Also, make sure that the focus is on the Sketchup window when typing the arrows.
Thanks

In my scripts that use arrows keys I use this
if RUBY_PLATFORM=~/mswin32/ ### PC KALXMINUS = 37 # Arrow Left Key KARXPLUS = 39 # Arrow Right Key KAUYPLUS = 38 # Arrow Up Key KADYMINUS = 40 # Arrow Down Key KSHIFT = 16 # Shift Key else### MAC KALXMINUS = 63234 # Arrow Left Key KARXPLUS = 63235 # Arrow Right Key KAUYPLUS = 63232 # Arrow Up Key KADYMINUS = 63233 # Arrow Down Key KSHIFT = 131072 # Shift Key end#if
and then test key-down events etc against these 'constants'

Why don't you use the built in constants? They should be reflecting the correct value based on the current OS. When you do it manually you have to keep updating it....
-
@Thomthom: I agree with you and my scripts do use the built-in constants for Arrow (and Shift, Ctrl). This is why I don't understand why it does not work. I was just wondering why the VK_constants for Oxer where in the range 123-126 whereas on the Mac I can have access to there are in the range of 63232... One possibility is that another script redefines the constants VK_.... because as far as I know, there is only a single Mac release of Sketchup, and therefore of the Ruby API (unless the Ruby API check itself the version of Mac OS).
@TIG: the values you show are correct for the Mac, as far as I knew them.

I assumed that SketchUp got the key code values from the system when it initialized the Ruby interpreter and abstracted them into these system-safe constants...

for me u are a genius in sketchup you can now manage the textures in an intelligent way. thanks fridoooooo. grazie

This is the result in the Ruby Console:
I have Sketchup 8 Pro

NEW RELEASE: ThruPaint v1.2a - 08 May 12
This update fixes some bugs and introduces 2 functional evolutions
1) Painting of components / groups, text labels and dimensions
This is a new option in the palette, very similar to the native SU Paint tool. Originally, ThruPaint was painting faces within the boundaries of containers. There are however cases where you wish to assign a material to the component or group itself. This material becomes then the default material for the faces of the component2) Modifier for Sampler
If you press Shift key, the cursor changes to sampling instead of painting. In the native SU Paint tool, this feature is covered by the Alt key (on Windows), but this is not possible in Ruby.See main post of this thread for more information on ThruPaint.
See main post of FredoTools thread for download of FredoTools, which includes the ThruPaint script.

NEW RELEASE: ThruPaint v1.0n - 21 Apr 12
This update introduces 2 functional evolutions
1) Painting of a preselection of faces or edges
If you select faces or edges before launching ThruPaint, the painted faces or edges will be those of the preselection whenever you mouse over them (regardless of the face selection settings in the palette).- When the material is a color or for edge painting, the painting applies to the whole pre-selection
- When the material is a texture, you have to paint by groups of faces in the preselection
2) Remembering of last scaling and rotation factors by material.
This is inspired from a request by PherimIf you apply a textured material to a face and then scale it and/or rotate it, the scaling and rotation factors will be remembered the next time you apply this material.
Likewise, the sampling of material within the model also copy the scaling and rotation factors.
See main post of this thread for more information on ThruPaint.
See main post of FredoTools thread for download of FredoTools, which includes the script.
