[PLUGIN] Voronoi + Conic Curve

Arkinsaw · 8 Dec 2013, 12:16

Hi Box,

Thanks ever so much for your reply... I've downloaded the Sketchucation Plugin store as you suggested and it has installed correctly (I saved the rbz onto my desktop). Unfortunately although the VoronoiXY plugin is shown as 'installed' under Sketchucation Plugin Manager, I can't seem to see the tool anywhere on Sketchup, when sketchup opens I get the following error message:

Error Loading File VoronoiXY.rb
no such file to load -- delauney3.rb

In fact, the top bar of the Sketchucation Plugin Manager tells me the file path for the plugins folder but when I follow that on my computer there is no such path! - I have even created a new directory to emulate that path and see if that works but no luck?

It's not very clear but if you read back through the thread you'll find that you need Tig's Triangulate Points plugin. It contains the missing delauney3 file.
So if you use the Sketchucation store to autoinstall Triangulate Points v1.0 the error should go away and it should show up in the Plugins menu.

As to the folder path location, Mac hides the folder from you, there is a way to show the folder but as I'm not a Mac user I don't remember how.

Does this work on SU 2014?

Interesting plugin but the icons don't show on Mac (see the image below), but they work fine.

When I push Tab key on Mac the Options window doesn't apper.

OSX 10.9.3 & SU2014

any news on SU2014?
thanks in advance!!

It works in v2014 on PC for me.

You do need delauney3.rb loading to get the 'Voroni' part to load and work.
The zip on this thread's second page includes that. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=417942#p417942
It also makes the toolbar.
The issue with MAC and toolbar's missing icons is most usually to do with the PNG files' format.
Some PC-made PNG images are not suitable for the MAC.
Try editing the PNGs shipped within the ZIP's subfolder on the MAC and saving them, they might then become MAC-friendly.
The dialog won't open on MAC because the ConicCurveInFace.rb code uses:
def onKeyDown(...
at line #10.
For some unfathomable reason a TAB-key down on MAC is not 'seen', so while pressing the TAB-key on a PC works, it fails silently on a MAC.
It's easily fixed by changing the code to read:
def onKey**Up**(...
So then when you release the TAB-key the dialog appears - works on MAC AND PC.
Also change the next line from:
if key==9 or key==15 or key==48...
to read:
if key==9 or key==15 ###or key==48...
As key#48 is NOT a TAB newer MACs - it's #15, and #9 on PCs.
You might find odd things happening otherwise.
This old toolset is a bit creaky BUT it works, and can be fixed up easily too...

Thanks TIG for the info, the dialog appears now on MAC. The icons don't show, I changed them to png mac format and resize their resolution of 96 to 72 but without result. It's a mystery!!

If you make brand new PNG files does that help ?
The attached ZIP contains just the PNG files at 72 dpi and with the Color Profile 'generalized' [i.e. NOT IExxx] - put them into the subfolder...
Do they help on your MAC ?

voronoi_conic.zip

Thanks TIG for the effort but your icons don't show on Mac.

I don't know if the problem is in the ConicCurveInFace.rb file, if there is a missing code to load the icons. The mouse icon shows correctly.

TIG · 12 Sept 2014, 22:09

I don't expect this to fix it... but you never know

Look in subfolder's .rb files for these lines...
cmd.small_icon = "voronoi_conic/icon0s.png" cmd.large_icon = "voronoi_conic/icon0.png"

Change it to read thus:
cmd.small_icon = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "icon0s.png") cmd.large_icon = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "icon0.png")

AND similarly make changes for the other 2 similar entries for cmd1 & cmd2...
Save & restart SketchUp........

Oxer · 15 Sept 2014, 00:05

Thanks you very much TIG!!
Problem fixed, I changed the lines and the icons show now.

CTX · 17 Sept 2014, 15:58

for TIG:
Thank you first of all for the suggestion ........ but I get this message .Where I do wrong? Thanks in advance!

anyone know what to do when this happens?

Error Loading File VoronoiXY.rb

TIG · 17 Sept 2014, 17:07

Yes.
It's an incompatibility with SketchUp v2014 Ruby2...

I'm working on a fix...

Oxygen220 · 17 Sept 2014, 17:22

ok so i got the points and triangulation working, but when i select the point and click voronoi, nothing happens, what am i missing? no errors come up, just nothing happens.

TIG · 17 Sept 2014, 17:31

Here is the updated RBZ in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=VoronoiXY
It has the corrected icons / paths and is now compatibly encoded files for >= SketchUp v2014 [and earlier!]...
It also auto-removes any of its outdated and unwanted files from the base Plugins folder...

Hi TIG, you forgot to fix the problem with the TAB key on Mac in the new version:

For some unfathomable reason a TAB-key down on MAC is not 'seen', so while pressing the TAB-key on a PC works, it fails silently on a MAC.
It's easily fixed by changing the code to read:
def onKeyUp(...
So then when you release the TAB-key the dialog appears - works on MAC AND PC.
Also change the next line from:
if key==9 or key==15 or key==48...
to read:
if key==9 or key==15 ###or key==48...

TIG · 17 Sept 2014, 21:05

Doh !
So many bug-fixes... v2.3 in progress...

TIG · 17 Sept 2014, 21:10

Here's v2.3 which fixes the TAB bug on MACs...

Oxygen220 · 18 Sept 2014, 07:01

god damn, ok so i got the 2.3 version, and finally able to get the icons, but the problems still there, i can create points, i can triangulate but when i try the vonoroi tool, nothing happens D:, either its not working or im an idiot and forgot to do something, or both..
