[Plugin] TIG-Smart_offset

[TIG]

Here's v1.1 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
It's been made more robust.
It now works on Pilou's problem shapes!

Hi Tig,
I'll try the new one but something really odd is going on, and yes I'm on a mac.

I used SU to instal, and had line numbers then, so I removed it from 'plugins' to do again, but
this has been uninstalled, moved to trash, emptied trash, restarted computer, but it still there and it works, as well as it did, although sketchup can't find the file.... it's crazy, I don't have hidden files either.

I'll over write with the new

found it, a new 'finder. replacement doesn't update instantly... bin that
ok no errors. menu cmd works, context cmd work, toolbar cmd dosen't do anything

It works if I split if the validation proc
cmd2=UI::Command.new('TIG.Smart_offset'){self.dialog()} cmd2.small_icon=File.join(dir, 'TIG-Smart_offset.png') cmd2.large_icon=File.join(dir, 'TIG-Smart_offset.png') toolbar=UI::Toolbar.new('TIG.Smart_offset') toolbar.add_item(cmd2)

You have no idea how many times I got frustrated doing an offset and have to get in there and clean up the shape. Thanks TIG!

[jeff hammond]

i'm all greyed out (on two separate computers with different OS & different versions of sketchup on them).. will investigate more tomorrow

Merry Christmas to you too!

in cmd.set_validation_proc (and other places) you want to give the full scope of the suitable? method since it is being called from SketchUp outside the scope of your module.

Also, combine the MF_ bits.

cmd=UI;;Command.new('TIG.Smart_offset'){self.dialog()}
if TIG;;Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
MF_ENABLED
else
MF_DISABLED | MF_GRAYED
end

Nice gift! Thank you and Merry Christmas! (Are we allowed to use it before 24.12.?)

[pilou]

Yeeeeeeees! Works like a charm now!
You are the Ruby's king!

And lucky because I can't more test your tricky plugin before the next year!

Thanks, knew it was obvious... This only affected MACs though ???
This was collecting dust on a virtual dust, until Pilou reminded me that I'd written it, so sometimes things get 'forgotten'...

Here's v1.2 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
Further robustness in enabling/disabling/graying and suitable? tests [thanks to Jim!].
Seems to be especially for MACs

I am not sure - it was just a guess and I don't have a Mac. Did you try it?

[TIG]

I don't have a MAC either.
Driven's reported issue was on a MAC and Jeff had other issues on a MAC too...
Hopefully this recent v1.2 [...20121221b.rbz !] will address the suitable? check and MF_ issues with the menus/toolbar...
It still works fine on a PC, but then v1.1 did too

[elmer]

Nice Christmas gift Tig, thanks a lot, it works perfectly on my Mac.

[alvis]

Thanx TIG

Hi Tig
i'm still getting the same greyed out problem.
is there anything i can type in the console or ?? to help figure out what the problem is?
thanks

[TIG]

Is there no difference at all - if you have nothing preselected, or one edge preselected, or one face preselected, or lots of things [including some edges] preselected ?
The menu/toolbar are only enabled if there's at least one face in the current selection.
The context-menu only appears if there's at least one face in the current selection.

Copy/paste+<enter> these into the Ruby Console and report the results:

with nothing preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with one edge preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with one face preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with lots of things [including some edges] preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()

with one edge preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()
with one face preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()

[jeff hammond]

oops
it actually is working now..
it's just the toolbar that remains greyed out at all times but the menu item becomes available once an appropriate selection has been made..

(which, for me personally, is fine.. i more likely than not wont want the toolbar anyway.. i think id use it with a modifier key added to my offset shortcut)

[jeff hammond]

here are these results.. (since you took the time to write them.. i better take the time to report )

false

false

true

with lots of things [including some edges] preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
true (drew two squares and selected all)

with one edge preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()
warning- PreSelect Face[s !]
ruby - nil

with one face preselected TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()
(works as expected)
