    What if you "press" the button below the X in red? That's different in my screen shot compared to yours.

      Dear Fredo

      If it is at all possible please make the old JPP version work in SU2014?
      The old version was so elegant and simple and while the new and improved will do more, for me it just crashes, loses object elements and the settings do not do what they are told to do.
      I will be pleased to the first to add to your cookie jar if we could have the option to choose the JPP version to install.
      SU user since V2 and honestly I did install the new JPP properly too.
      I cleaned out the old version (.....roaming/sketchup and such as well)

      Thanks and please

        Pushing the button below the "X" makes it so that is doesn't lock to any specific axis? That works fine when I use it. It's the locking to a local axis that doesn't work.

        Here's the current update:
        So I tried uninstalling SU8 and reinstalling it and only loading Libfredo6 and Joint Push Pull and no other plugins installed... It still doesn't work. I'm at a total loss now. I thought for sure that would fix it, but nope.

        I can try anything if anyone has any ideas?

          The old version (v2.1a) is still available at the following post.

          It is compatible with SU2014.

          You can run the new and old versions concurrently.

          Fredo

          PS: do you get bugsplats or intercepted crashes (with a clean dialog box)? And If so, is it during the geometry generation?

            Hi Fredo

            First thanks for the updated simple JPP version.
            Works perfect on SU 2014
            I was using the Vector tool(new)with user direction and distance selected.
            Preset distance and direction were just not invoked ?
            Your error panel showed when trying to extrude and in some cases the surface (topo) disappeared and ctl-z could not recover it.

            I just could not get the settings to stick.
            Must just be pilot error πŸ˜•
            Again thank you for all your good works πŸ‘ πŸ‘

            Dave

              Hi Fredo,

              I cannot thank you enough for this amazing plugin. Among every feature, the improvements you've done to follow pushpull are incredible.

              There's just something that I don't know if it could be avoided or not but when I use your plugin it always leaves behind the temp layer it requires to work.

              Is it possible to make the plugin auto-delete the layer after finishing command?

              I know it's just a small detail and it is ridiculous of me to point it out but...

              Thanks for everything,

              JQL

                That's odd. I never noticed the temp layer before. I just gave it a try and I see that layer in the layers list but it goes way when the JPP operation has been completed.

                  Normally, the temporary layer goes away when you exit JPP.

                  But if you crash JPP, then it may remain.

                  And, as you may know, there is no way to remove a layer (or a material) from the Ruby API (the way it is handled in JPP is via aborting the operation before generating the geometry).

                  So it has to be done manually, which is a safe operation.

                    The [clunky] way to delete a layer through the API is...
                    First iterate model.entities and all of the definition.entities, and if they are are assigned the layer we want to delete - say ' tlayer' - then you erase! them.
                    Then you iterate through model.layers.to_a - [tlayer], and make a temp_group, and inside that a nested group with a cpoint in it, assign the layer to the nested group, repeat adding a copy of the group and and assigning the next layer to it etc.
                    Eventually all layers are 'used', except for the ' tlayer' [even previously unused layers].
                    Use model.layers.purge_unused to now purge ' tlayer'.
                    Finally use temp_group.erase! to tidy up.
                    It will work but as I said it's clunky...

                      Yes, terribly clunky!

                      By the way, I guess that purge_unused has also some other side effects (pure materials, ....).

                        Yeah I see the layer sometimes. It's never active when I notice it and If I care I delete it. It in no way undermines the massive amount of time JPP has saved me.

                          This happens when starting to drag and typing offset distance. No error when just drag and drop.

                            It seems that this is related to the fact you pick the corner of the face and the API picker does not detect the face.

                            I'll see what I can do.

                              I find that I cannot select with this tool. I activate the tool, (Normal JPP) and go to a smoothed surface (set to surface select), individual faces turn green beneath the cursor. I click and nothing changes. The face under the cursor continues to turn green but nothing stays selected.

                                @pbacot: did you try it like in the following screencast?

                                @Fredo: is it intended that the middle line gets smoothed in this case?

                                  yeah. I just get the green highlight and green note "click to select faces" I click and nothing changes. On any sort of face in current context.

                                    I don't know if I can do anything as it may be a problem with the Mac and SU8.

                                    Is it for any model?

                                    Is it since an upgrade?

                                    Does it work when you stat JPP on a Preselection?

                                      Works like that on any model.
                                      No particular upgrade.
                                      JPP acts as if there is no selection (selection disappears and faces respond to cursor by turning green). After exiting the selection of face appears again.
                                      Manana I will reload (I loaded automatically from SUcation Plugin Store.)

                                        nope, not that
                                        although i don't have what i'm assuming pb's exact configuration is (mavericks + su8 ?)

                                        i've tested it on osx10.7.5 with su8 & 2014 --as well as mavericks with 2014

                                        i can select just fine on those (as in- i can do the same thing cotty did in the video above with no problems)
