[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver
-
The toolset's author has not been active in the forums for some time... you could try to PM or email him.
Unfortunately he has compiled his toolset's script as a .rbs file, making it impossible to read or change.
I suspect that his tool has a 'SketchUp version checker' to ensure that it's at least being run in v8 - because it probably uses some functions only available in the >=v8 API...
If he is doing a version comparison using a string then something like'9'>'8'would betrue, BUT'13'>'8'isfalse- because of the starting '1' - using integer comparisons is different - 9>8 AND 13>8 are bothtrue...
So it's easy resolved usingSketchup.version.to_i>=8which returns true for 8, 13, 14 etc. If it is a baldSketchup.version.to_i!=8then the code is also easily adjusted as above...There is no simple way to side step the compiled script's version checker...

Is there a boolean plugin for SU 7? If so, can someone kindly tell me where to find it?
-
There is BoolTools by Dale Martens at Smustard. Says it works for v5 and up. This is a commercial plugin.
-
Perfect work Oscar.
I am asking me if your plugin do the same as the SU2013 Pro with solids.
I feel your plugin more clear and clean.
Would you think to export for the new SU 2013 versión?.
Me and many people will like it.
Anyway thanks for your fine work.
-
Thanks for your support and encourage.
I will review my script for SU 2013 at December since my schedule is busy now.
Again, thanks for your support！ -
Does this OSCoolean even work with Sketchup 8.0.16846? I put the .rbs into plugin folder, restarted Sketchup, I don't see any new tools or in the rightclick menu. How do you install this?

Hi Jo,
Your post implies that you have been able to get the OSCoolean plugin to work with SketchUp 2013. Is this correct? Good for you! I, along with the rest of the planet have been unable to use OSCoolean due to version checking code. What was your workaround? The only functionality missing from the free version of SketchUp that I need are the boolean solid features. Are you aware of any other versions that are available either as a download or for purchase?Best of luck

As far as I know it works in v8.
But because the SketchUp version check is encrypted it isn't adjustable.
I think what it's doing is comparing the version as a string and finding "13..." < "8..." [which it is] - the simple fix is to compare them as floats [to_f] then 13 > 8 !
The author could issue a quick update so v2013 and later were supported ??? -
Hello,
OSCoolean Dec 2013 version for both groups & components is uploaded in the first post - or as RBZ from the PluginStore...
And it is still free to use.
Hope this can help!
Enjoy!

Happy christmas!

Bravo!

Thanks!
Just wanted to say that this was not shown as an update in Plugin Store, I just saw it among the recent Plugins.
-
It IS in the Recent list in the PluginStore.
As a Windows user ensure you have IE Internet-options set to clear its cache on closing...
If old data gets stuck in IE you can find that the dilaog entries are formed from cacahed data on your PC ? -
Yes it is in the recent list but it was not shown as an update in "My Plugins" and just wanted to report.
-
Did you download/install the previous version from the PluginStore ?
If so the Update should have been signaled...
But if not 'we' have no way of knowing what you might have previously installed manually - so not notification would be expected... -
Yes, I did.
-
don't work! as usual ..if sombody look for good boolens -> http://www.smustard.com/script/BoolTools
-
Works perfectly for me.
