Line 135:
# wait forever while 1==1 do end # while 1
That is dangerous! It could lock up SketchUp if an error occurs, causing file handles to remain open.
Use a continue messagebox instead.
And you should return a numeric error code instead of 0 when an exception occurs.

Uploaded vertion 0.0.5.
Include improvment to speed and renderingJust so you know...
The native Ruby Console, is not actually a "true console interface".
It is really a dialog with a non-editable multi-line text control.
Writing output to the text control is VERY slow, and gets SLOWER the more that is written.(*) Write only what you NEED to.
OR ...
Perhaps write output to a log file instead, and after the import, display the log file's text in a Webdialog frame. (The browser can display plain text files.) -
Dan.
Thank you, you are very helpfull.
I don't really know what to do with these errors in the G-Code I am getting.
It is not even correct to say they are errors at all.
I use the ruby console as a very simple "information console"
There is nothing to do with these "errors" just know about them...If somone don't want to see these messages he could just close the console.
In the following versions I will not open the ruby console at all.
Thank you again.

New Version 0.0.6 posted
Thank you. -
I'm getting the following error in the ruby console every time I start SU and it doesn’t show the G-code file type in the import file types list:
GcodeImporterVer0.0.6.rb:38: warning: Object#type is deprecated; use Object#class
I installed the plugin through the "Preferences/Extensions/Install Extension" option. I have SU V8.0.16845 for Mac, any idea on what I should do?
Thanks

AntonioI found the problem - fixing it soon.
change line 38 from:
if @ent.type == Sketchup::Edge
to:
if @ent.class == Sketchup::EdgeBut wait for more testing - I will post a fix soon
Thank you. -
Version 0.0.7
Now we have a G-Code Exporter of the previously imported G-Code in the plugin menu.
So I changed the name to GcodeTools ... (please delete the old one)
The new exporter is a very simple assuming that in the next versions will be
adding all the needed features to make it usable- so please let me know what need's to be fixed!.
-
Version 0.0.8
Added to the exporter the ability to connect "unconnected" components
so now if a component is deleted - the exporter will just put a link to the
first component of the disconnected chain -
Version 0.0.9
New in Importer:
Will put a Attribute with the value of speed from the imported G-Code in the
"filament" & "MotorMove" components
Change the Z scale of the "filament" component according to the amount of
extruded filament in the imported G-Code
New in Exporter:
Export to the G-Code the Attribute of speed as was imported by the importer.
Export the Extruded length according to the Z scale of the "filament" component -
What should the next feature be?
If you have an idea, I will be very happy to try implementing it. -

If you have an idea, I will be very happy to try implementing it.Animate a model of a cnc machine from the gcode.

Did you try to import CNC G-Code?
Can you explain what was the problem?
Do you have an idea how it should work if it was working correctly? -
i have attempted this plugin in 2013, about to try it in 8 pro.
thought i should bring this little web app that i found recently.
it is a gcode viewer and i was hoping to use it to view the gcode i exported from sketchup in it but it doesn't seem to be working from being exported in 2013.
http://jherrm.github.io/gcode-viewer/neither of the gcode files i exported from regular sketchup files worked in the simulator. but i am keen to use this addon to use the simulation app
-
Does not work for me either; Sketchup 2013 Win7x86, thanks for for the code.

Try making the following changes. untested
(Ruby v 2.0 will not allow direct references to instance variables in the block parameter list.)

I know this is a couple of years old but the plugin does not appear to work with latest version of SKetchup Make. Any chance there is an updated version of this plugin anywhere? Would really love to import Gcode files into SKetchup.
Thanks!!
