[Plugin] Axo + Iso View v1.2 20101117

To answer your questions...

nothing weird
no...
Yes...

The only thing I can think of is that it's really huge... (its a model of a city)

Anyway, some updates... in the exact same skp model, it sometimes work and it sometimes doesn't. I've tried to discover what is it that makes it work and what makes it not work, but so far it just seems completely random. There must be something though...

anyway all it really does is to make me save more often which is a good thing i guess

publied

nice and useful script!

Hi m8 very nice plugin! Do you know (or anyone else ) how i can me an isometric view facing a section cut? Before your plugin we could only have front/bacl/left/right/top I am asking if there is a way to make "perpedicular to section cut" or something like that...

ty for your help and efford to create this plug in

StamatisPsarras

ok my bad...I just realised (after some years! ) that it is already supported by right clicking on a section cut and selecting "align view"

Thanks!

I have managed to install the Axo plugin detailed in your comment below, but am looking to alter the viewing angle on the view so I get more of a front view of the buildings... but still with Axo4545 properties. At the moment you see too much of the roof, its near top view on.

Is there anyway you know of to alter this? Or do you know anywhere I might be able to find this out?

Hey TIG,

I've done many many many exports with this doing architecture at uni, also loads of other people use it because of me too. I was wondering if it would be possible to make some buttons for it I can put on my toolbar which would be very useful!?

Thanks again

Making a toolbar is relatively straightforward.
Write a separate .rb file that has an initial 'require' to this tool's .rb file.
Define a toolbar.
Define a 'command' referring to a tool - this already seen in the console code that runs it...
A 'command' can also have tooltips, status_bar_text, buttons assigned to it etc [make the button's PNG icons in a subfolder [AxoIsoPNGs?] and you path to those].
Now add the 'command' to the new toolbar.
Repeat as needed...
As well as making buttons for the various view changers you might want to have ones for the scale/restore options...
When your file auto-loads as Sketchup starts up it will make the toolbar...
Here's a start...
` require 'axo+iso.rb'

toolbar=UI::Toolbar.new("Axo+Iso")
toolbar.restore if new_toolbar.get_last_state==TB_VISIBLE

cmd1=UI::Command.new("axo3060"){axo3060()}
png1="AxoIsoPNGs/axo3060.png"
if File.exist?(png1)
cmd1.small_icon=png1
cmd1.large_icon=png1
toolbar.add_item(cmd1)
end
###`
Repeat for each command, changing the text/png/command-name etc to suit...
Get it working with one command, and then copy the working code down, edit and retest till all functions have working buttons...

Is this plugin available for Mac?

Yes , unless a Plugins specifically states that it is PC only, or Pro only or v8M2 only etc... then it should work with other OSs/versions...
Just try it and see... it's not like you are "buying it"!

Sorry, I have a question about this plugin, run on MacOS? I need help. Please. Thanks.

TIG

If the question is, "Does it run on a MAC?" then the answer is 'Yes'.
However, you need to read and understand how to activate/use the tool - explained in the download page...

This just saved my life! AutoCAD couldn't even do this right! TY so much!

Where is the link or has it gone? Do you need to pay to download this plugin? Thanks

The download link is on the first page of the thread http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=252273#p252273 which is normal for most plugins...
You don't HAVE to pay to download, but if you want to make a donation feel free...

If you can't see any attachments, then it's almost certainly because you are breaking the 'Terms of Service' you agreed to when becoming a member of SCF...
SCF IS free to use [although you can choose to donate to scripters etc, and also you could pay a modest SCF Premium Membership fee and get many freebies etc... check out that link].
To fund SCF there are discreet adverts on the pages - all interesting - relating to SketchUp, CAD, Rendering, 3dPrinting etc - the revenue from these pays to keep the site running - hosting a complex site like this costs money - although moderators etc give their time freely, the Premium Members' payments and the Shop sales etc, the bulk of the money has to come from somewhere - that's the ad-revenue...
If you have an AdBlock app running on your browser it will prevent ads displaying, therefore you are depriving SCF of that revenue, and in response no attachments are shown in your browser...
It is a simple matter to adjust your AdBlock app to make exceptions for pages on sketchucation.com AND buysellads.com [our ad generator].
Once you have done that and you reload the page the ads will show and all attachments - images, videos, download links for plugins etc - will become available to you.
Rarely members have reported issues with their FireWall software doing secondary ad-blocking - in that case add another exception to that too...
Members find the ads informative and useful anyway, no one is forcing you to read them or buy anything - but having them displayed so that our advertisers can at least know you have seen their offering, is a small price to pay for all of the benefits you will get by complying with your TofS promises...

hellooo i made a copy for the folder in plugins but it doesnt appear on sketchup

p.s: i made a srestart for sketchup and it doesnt appear too ://

massimo

Hi, as stated in the very first post, first line, you have to put the .rb file (and not a folder) directly in the plugins folder and then restart SU.

Hey I'm new to sketchup and have been trying to get this 'axo' plug in to work. But no luck. I keep getting this from the ruby console:

Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method `axo3060' for main:Object>
(eval)

What is the deal I followed the directions to a -T I think?
Please help.

TIG

If you have correctly installed the .rb file into your Plugins folder you will get the commands available to you in the Ruby Console: you type axo3060 + <enter> and it runs...
So this error message suggests that you have not installed it correctly
To find your Plugins folder type [or copy+paste] this line + <enter> in the Ruby Console:
Sketchup.fins_support_file('Plugins')
This returns the path to the folder that ought to contain your plugin files.
It may be hidden and you'll then need to set your MAC to let you see Library folder-paths.
If it is the HD Lib path [most likely on v8] then you may need to reset its Security Permissions to Full Read & Read, so you have unlimited access to add files etc...
So, now put the .rb file in there...
OR if you get the .RBZ archived version of the script from the PluginsStore page then you can AutoInstall that using the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button...
OR if you install the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store' toolset you can search/browse through 800+ Plugins [including this one] and then AutoInstall any selected plugin from within SketchUp itself...
