Jeff have you tried with template of feet?

yeah.. and i encountered another error with it (using the 2013 template Engineering - Feet

i keeping getting the error 'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'.
the settings i'm using while getting that error are:
Tread Thickness: 0.125' (or 1.5")
Tread Bullnose: 0.083' (or 1")

so the error message isn't corresponding to my settings (if i'm properly understanding the message and settings)

My plan is to connect to web while in trial. Once a user is licensed then connecting to web site will no longer be necessary.

oh.. i see. that sounds good

Jeff - both the top and bottom of the tread get bullnosed. So you can't bullnose the top with a 1" radius and the bottom with a 1" radius.

In this case the maximum bullnose for a 1.5" tread is 0.75".

Walt - all I can think of doing is pulling out the http code and putting it into a very simple rb script ( not scrambled ).

What user ID are you using? If it isn't the default "User" "test" then I will see what my logs show at the web site. We'll see if we made it that far.

Garry K

John - I looked at my PM messages - I have only received 1 since I put up version 1.0.7 08 Feb 2014, 08:39( which had the feet fix ).

Your last message had to do with the beta version 2014.

@ Garry username is mwm5053. I have been able to Login to website with no problems still getting 101 error after clicking ok web dialogue pops up but clicking ok for default values nothing happens heres a screenshot.

Walt - If you look at the title of the web dialog it is saying "http error 0". Sorry about the confusion. I thought that it would be good to show the web dialog whether you have an error or not? I could change the back ground color from wheat to red or something like that.

The other thing to note is that you may need more accuracy than 1/2" precision to properly draw a stair case. I'm not exactly sure how sketchup handles smaller values than precision.

If you let the defaults.txt file to "User" and "test" and connected then you should see "Testing - temporary status granted"

If you edited defaults.txt file to "mwm5053" and put in the emailed password then you should see "You have 30 days left in trial"

mwm5053

I changed defaults txt back to user / test and precision to 1/64 still get screenshot error

Walt - I went to my web site and took a look. There isn't a single http attempt for user "mwm5053".

I also looked at all of my registered users and there isn't a user "mwm5053" in that file.

You need to go to my web site - CabMaker32.com and click logon and register. You will then receive an email with your password. You can also send me a private message with your email address. I can also look in my user file and see if that email address has been registered under perhaps a different user.

Now thats really weird

that's what i thought.. you may want to consider changing the wording of the error message then:

'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'

to something along the lines of:
max bullnose is 1/2 tread thickness.

@Garry
it's working in 'feet' Template now...
the cache reset took a couple of goes...

added some info so you can see what I get my end...

Jeff - Good catch. You are correct - the message is worded wrong. I have changed it for the next version.

Garry K

Walt - that is wierd - you normally don't see that screen. The web hosting site has been experiencing hack attacks. Please tell me if you see this screen again.

Garry K

Walt - put this rb into your plugins folder and see what you get.

There will be a menu item under plugins called "Web Dialog Test"

test file

mwm5053

Here's my results.

I wonder what the deal is about my login on your site?

Garry K

Walt - I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. I haven't heard anyone else having that problem. It may have something to do with http configurations on your specific machine.

Maybe someone else can answer it. Perhaps start a new thread on this. Maybe the developer forum will catch some attention.

As you can see - the code isn't doing a whole lot.

mwm5053

@ Garry you're right I installed 1.0.8 rbz on Mac Book Pro and works great with no hitches. Mac Pro (desktop) running SU 8 and Lion and Mac Book Pro (laptop) running SU 8 and Mavericks.

I now have language translation working. There is a folder called translations and currently there are 4 files in it.

en.lang - English
fr.lang - French
ru.lang - Russian
zh.lang - Chineses ( traditional )

Near the top of the defaults.txt file there is a language= section where you can enter the 2 character language code. If you leave the language= blank the system will try to figure out the locale code.

These language files are straight translations and as a result there might be some funny and or inappropriate translations.

Anyone interested in helping out with any language translation can get a hold of me.

A user with a windows 8 machine running SU 2013 has reported an error that I can't duplicate ( I don't have a windows 8 machine )

puts "starting: dialog.execute_script( js_command )"
dialog.execute_script( js_command )

this code doesn't run

puts "finished: dialog.execute_script( js_command )"

it errors out with this

type: mismatch
code: 0
url: file:///C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/skp8C34.tmp

Is there anyone else with a Windows 8 machine running 2013 who would be willing to try this code.
