[Plugin] Align tool 3D (bug fix)
-
Could you add an option to copy (Ctrl) for plugin ALIGN 3D? Now objects are moved.

Align tool 3D doesn't want to work with SU 2014. Is this a ruby version thing? I miss being able to use it.
-
Can anyone confirm that this is not working in Su14 on a mac mavericks?
I installed the plugin both through the sketchucation plugin store and also through Didier's thread here.
Neither plugin appears in TOOLS and there is no align choice in the context menu when something is selected.
It's like the plugin doesn't exist, though it shows up in the plugin manager, and is in the user/library.../plugins location.
Thoughts?

This might get it going for you. On the appropriate file, this is copied from the lines to tubes thread.
@tig said:
Didier needs to rework his rb file for v2014 compatibility and republish it...
BUT you can do it temporarily for your own use, even though his script is 'packed'.
Open the filelines2tubes.rbin Notepad, and go to the end:
Change
...}.unpack("m")**.to_s**
to read
...}.unpack("m")**[0]**
Save the changes.
Restart SketchUp.The script will then load and work in v2014 !
This simple fix can be applied to any of Didier's 'packed' scripts that aren't working in v2014.
These edited scripts will also load and work in earlier SketchUp versions too...

This is what I get when opening align_tool.rb in notepad.Bytecode?
-
And if you scroll to the end as Tig says do you not see the bit that needs to be changed.
-
Thanks for the response!
I changed the code to read as TIG said it should (image 1). I also tried it with a space between the ) and the [ with no difference
Now, when I start SU, I get this error message (image 2)
thoughts?

Sorry, I only know it works on windows.
-
Weird...
While I understand the drive to "upgrade" to Ruby 2.0, it is pretty frustrating that many old plugins don't work any more.
-
I can't get this plugin to work with Sketchup 2014. Does anyone have and ideas about this. Thanks.
-
Is it posible to update it for SU 2014 ?
Thanks

I didn`t read TIG's post. I followed his instructions and it works fine in su 14.
Thanks TIG

Didier has agreed that I might update some of his Plugins in the PluginStore so they are v2014/2015 compatible.
This is the latest version http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=align_tool -
Thanks for the updates Tig. I was missing Align 3D.
-
this tool is not showing up in context menu. I am using version 2014 make
-
It works fine in v2014 and v2015.
It appears near the end of the Context menu as 'Align' - you must have something Selected...What happens if you copy+paste this command into the Ruby Console + <enter> ?
load 'align_tool.rb'The older versions <=v1.1 are NOT compatible beyond v2013, because of the Ruby upgrade.
So, are you using the very latest version [v1.1x] available from the PluginStore which was made compatible with all SketchUp versions [sorry but it's in ENglish only]...

If NOT then please get the latest version's RBZ installed...
Report back if there are continuing issues... -

load 'align_tool.rb'
trueThat's really weird. I am getting this option align in my right click menu. Restarted sketchup and wow! my option is coming.
This problem was occuring in both my PC and laptop. I am sitting on my laptop currently and the problem is gone. Didn't know what created it. Moreover on both my machines, I installed the latest version straightaway by accessing the plugin store inside sketchup via SCF plugin. Thanks for replying.
Maybe this ruby console has healed my problem, dont know. -
If it recurs see if there are any Ruby Console messages and post them.
Maybe it was just a general glitch that needed a SketchUp restart to fix it ? -
There's a huge issue with this tool (I noticed it after dekade of using
) -
it distorts objects. Additional operation needed (reset skew, rotation) afterwards. Any chance to to fix it please?
