[PLUGIN] Voronoi + Conic Curve

Oxer

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

CTX

any news on SU2014?
thanks in advance!!

TIG

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 ?

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

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

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

CTX

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

Error message

Oxygen220

anyone know what to do when this happens?

TIG

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

I'm working on a fix...

Oxygen220

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

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:

@tig said:

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 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

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

TIG

Here's v2.3 which fixes the TAB bug on MACs...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=VoronoiXY

Oxygen220

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..

CTX

For Tig:
Thank you very much, with the two updates (TIG: Triangulate Points v1.1 and
MattC: VoronoiXY v2.3) now everything works great.
Thanks again for the speed of response.

CTX

I would like to ask if anyone knows a plugin for SU able to draw points (maybe choosing how many and in what geometry) on a surface.
Many thanks

TIG

This is the staple 'PointTool'...
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PointTool
Toolbar or menu item...
It draws individual cpoints [guides] - but you can of course use Rotate OR Move +Ctrl to Copy and then type NNx +<enter> to array them by the number NN repeating the distance, or /NN to divide the original distance up with your copies...
