      Indigo respect Section Cuts

      Rich, can you confirm that Indigo works with this plugin?

      Then I guess I'd like to know how Indigo can do it and other cannot.

      If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

        pgarmyn,
        Tour de force! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
        Videos look marvelous too... however, is it working properly for everybody else?
        So far I'm getting no result from the plugin.
        It makes cuts and shows the dialog box, but never generated sections with materials.
        IOW it is working like native SU section tool, although it does generate automatically named scenes.
        I'm on Win7, Dell XPS8500, Intel Corei7-3770 3.4GHz, 12GB RAM, SketchUp8.
        Any help? โ“

          Great plugin!

          Is it possible for different solids/groups/components to be assigned different hatch properties so that you can show different hatch patterns with the same section cut?? Like Revit's section box?

          That would be awesome...

              It should work on SU8. (It works for me)
              You are the first after 160 downloads. Are there other people having problems?

              Do you use components or groups? Are they closed in the sectionplan?
              Test it with a Solid without changing any parameter in the dialog box?

              Is there any error on the Ruby panel?

                YES ๐Ÿ˜„ the 2nd video is showing that ๐Ÿ˜„
                Use RichSection materials 'by layer' or 'by nature' or a combination.
                Every RichSection can also have different section materials, by using a different 'prefix'

                        A new plugin must be activated in the menu 'window/preferences',
                        a panel opens, select 'extensions' and activate 'RichSection'.

                            Offset.rb is not a standalone plugin (Can be called by other plugins). It is from Rick Wilson, created in 2004.
                            What's happening โ“ How do you know there is a conflict โ“
                            What other plugin is using offset.rb ? (Probably anther plugin from Rick Wilson) โ“

                              Because your code is all encrypted we don't know what it does.
                              If it has any 'offset; methods within it that are not encapsulated in your module/class methods, then your 'offset()' method might well clash with the bald scripted 'offet.rb' by RickW, if users have that loading with other scripts.
                              Your code must not interfere with base class/module/methods or other's scripts that load as helpers - these are things like offset.rb, progressbar.rb and so on... It's easy enough to recast your own versions within your own modules so there is no overlap with other scripts... ๐Ÿ˜’

                                About my code:

                                • Every method, variable, ... is declared within module PiGa ; module RSection ; end ; end
                                • No basic classes or modified or extended.
                                  And this is the case for the loader PiGa_RichSection.rb, and the main ruby RichSection.rbs

                                That wasn't yet good practice in 2004 (Looking in code of offset.rb)
                                I scanned my code : there is no method 'offset' or anything else named 'offset'

                                So, if there is something โ“ The problem is not there.
                                Please, micione tell me....
                                What's happening ? How do you know there is a conflict ?

                                  pgarmyn,

                                  "offset.rb" is used by other tools of Rick Wilson (eg "windowizer").
                                  What happens:
                                  Your tool applies the first section, then it stops, stuck.
                                  Any attempt to use the "move tool" on the section, it causes BugSplat.

                                  Only by removing "offset.rb" your tool starts working again.
                                  In order to identify the conflict, must be eliminated (one by one) all installed plugins. And this is what I did.
                                  I hope I was helpful.

                                  P.S. perhaps seek the advice of Rick Wilson?

                                      Until March 2014, everybody can have the full 'DEMO'(Thanks for the correction Bob James)
                                      As 'RichSections' are standard SU-groups, they only need the plugin for update.

                                        The issue might be that offset.rb [ill advisedly] adds a new method to Array.offset(distance)* this clashes with the Point3d.offset(vector, distance) because an Array of three values [x,y,z] can be offset just as it it were a Point3d, but the native method is expecting a Vector3d [or an Array of three [xv,yv,zv]] and an optional second argument of a distance that overrides the vector's length...

                                        *In my copy of offset.rb I have renamed it as offsetArray(dist) to avoid the clash [it's never used anyway!].

                                        So to avoid clashes with the offset.rb method Array.offset() never use .offset() on point that is expressed as an Array - make that array into a Point3d before the offset is applied, then the clash is avoided.
                                        So it should be
                                        point=Geom::Point3d.new(0,1,2) [or ...new([0,1,2])]
                                        then
                                        point.offset(vector)
                                        or in one step
                                        Geom::Point3d.new([0,1,2]).offset(vector)
                                        BUT NEVER
                                        [0,1,2].offset(vector)
                                        or
                                        pt=[1,2,3] pt.offset(vector)

                                          Amazing!!
                                          This plugin cover one of the CAD missing function in sketchup.
                                          Now I need to check it in layout.

                                          Thank you pgarmyn!

                                            Wow, this is a amazing! This is starting to make Sketchup look more like a CAD modeler! Well done. I-Render Nxt also renders section cuts similar to Indigo. I will also try this with this and Layout later!
