[Plugin] MoveAlong - v1.2b - 07 Jul 14
-
Fredo,
is it possible to replicate the Acad's Tracking (with numeric distance input) as shown on vid.1? And I can't figure out how do standard Move with Shift pressed (vid.2.) Is it supported in MoveAlong?
Another little thing: this strip of beige with current snapping info.. could it stay permanently (no popping-up)?

Thanks

To read a swf file just drag+drop it on your browser - it's a flash-movie and should then play...

You can constrain the native move/copy to align with the edge - hover over it and hold shift, then the movement is inference constrained along an extension of that edge, BUT any typed in the distance is taken from the picked point on the original object [along that vector].
You can of course use a premade guide-line offset the desired distance and snap to that using the inferred vector... -

Can you see them online? -
@TIG: Exactly, that's what I tried to illustrate with the 2nd vid. I just suggested to MoveAlong to support the Shift trick (with Acad's numeric input, if possible).

That's just remote inferencing (passive and active). It was planned and I am actually coding it. So should go in next release whenever I have time.

Hello fredo.
DO you see the powerful road editor？
If there is a person who can do such the powerful road editor in SkethcUp.I think only you. -

If there is a person who can do such the powerful road editor in SkethcUp.I think only you.Yes I did. This is quite a piece of work. And the main difficulty is to create the roads over a surface mesh.
I think you should try to see if this tool can export the roads data format that can be re-imported into Sketchup. That would be the most efficient.Fredo

so far the best animated film in this season.
.. but it's important to keep it simple. -
I really like movealong but have encountered a problem. I am running XP SP3 and Windows 8 both updated to final MS update and SU8. The problem comes when trying to use "Defer mode" and same occurs with either copy or move and plane or vector selected. The wirecage does not appear when a group (simple cube) is selected until I do a zoom then if I move the movealong cursor,the wireframe does not follow it until I do another zoom. Second case - if I select the group the wireframe does not appear until I run the cursor out of the drawing window,then it appears at whatever point I ran out of the dwg area. Then,if I move across the dwg area,the wireframe does not move until I leave the dwg area again and.as before,the wireframe moves to the point at which I left the dwg area. Every other function I have tried so far works just fine.
EDIT: No answer ??

That was your suggestion, Rich, and it makes a lot of sense.

- Pick a component's insertion point when moving.
- Move a perpendicular to a curve - grab a center of a face and move it perpendicular to a curve.
Thanks.

Thats very impressive.

Is it possible to replicate (via Ruby) the Max'2015 Placement Tools?
The moving object temporallygets the 'gluing' feature, all environment temporally
looses it's group\component structure (and thus becomes a set of primitive surfaces-receivers).
