        Excellent plugin! A tool like this has been on my wishlist for years.

        One suggestion: Is it possible to add an exterior clapboard/lap siding setting? The parameters could be very similar to the wood setting.

            Suddenly I get the same error as mentioned above.
            When I change pattern the window closes.
            I've re installed the latest version and tried it on two PCs.
            Weird. 😕

              That makes no sense at all. Have you installed any new plugins lately? Maybe there is a conflict. Does the Ruby Console show any errors?

                Here is what the console reports:

                Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `to_l' for nil;NilClass>
                C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;93;in `dialog'
                C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;67;in `initialize'
                C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;34;in `new'
                C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;34;in `block in <top (required)>'
                -e;1;in `call'
                
                

                As a side note, would it be possible to have a setting for bevel size?
                Like if I want half or even a quarter of the size of the bevel.
                And some min and max distance of the random imperfections?
                I think both are a litte too big for most cases.

                  The error is occurring when the defaults are being read so use the "Reset" option first and hopefully that will clear up the problem.

                  I will consider your request as time permits.

                    I think there is a bug in the newest verision. On a rectangle it was complaining about non planar faces, even though this was off a box with sketchup box primitive.

                    Reverting back a version, I was then able to generate a wooden pattern on the same object.

                      I have experienced the same problem with wood on vertical faces. I can't imagine why but will try to sort it out.

                      Thanks for the heads up

                          No problem. Thank YOU for such a cool plugin. Can't release images now, but having fun decorating inside of a cafe with wooden panels everywhere. I recommend everyone your plugins.

                            Hello,
                            i would design a special ground with your plugin

                            here 3 pictures

                            is this possible with your plugin?

                            Translation for the picture

                            A: Big Corner Part
                            B: Sidewalk Main Part
                            C Small Corner Part
                            😧 Bishop's cap

                            measure in cm

                            25cm=9.8425in
                            35cm=13.7795in
                            49,5cm=19.4881in

                            Gap 1cm=0.3937in

                            This is a part of a typical sidewalk in Berlin

                              It might be possible, in part at least, for a perfect size face but doubtful for a random size face. I'll see what I can do.

                                    Suggestion for different Texture Packs.

                                    what do you think about different texture pack.

                                    in the texture folder i have different folders with diferent textures.
                                    this could be selected via dropdown.

                                    thank you Dean

                                      Hallo is this possible?
                                      green arrows mean only this direction(s) i want
                                      _2014.10.04_05h32m22s_002_00989.jpg

                                      selected multiple face doing this in one step
                                      _2014.10.04_05h39m07s_003_00990.jpg

                                      here what i have choose in preferences
                                      _2014.10.04_05h48m57s_004_00991.jpg

                                      the wall in the backbround is a curved object.

                                      the result is this

                                      _2014.10.04_05h58m12s_005_00992.jpg

                                      reason could be that a curved face is splitted in smaller face like this

                                      _2014.10.04_06h00m21s_006_00993.jpg

                                      the wall part i want produce have an exact width of 1200mm (3' 11")
                                      or have anybody an other solution?

                                        Sorry but FloorGenerator only works on faces not surfaces. Even if hidden geometry is not displayed, when you pick a point on the surface you select just one of the faces that make up the surface.

                                        You could create a face with the overall dimensions of the surface. Then use Shape Bender to produce the curved surface after applying the tile pattern. A bit of work but all I can offer at this time.

                                        Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                                          yes this i have try before i asking here, with Fredo Scale ( Radial Bending)

                                          what you mean is Chris Fullmer Shape Bender.

                                          i have never tried it before.

                                          ok, this work.

                                          now i have a problem. the segments have not the exact lenght.

                                          your plugin AddPts2Curve was my help, to see where on the curve is the 1,2m point and the next etc.

                                          I will try step by step all your plugins.
                                          Helper like plugins will every time be welcome.

                                          thank you

                                            @sdmitch Its the first time I see HTML code embedded in a Ruby script. Thanks for not using .rbs
                                            It gives me some confidence and a template to redo some of my scripts incorporating HTML. 🎉

                                            Finally I have an example & see how with HTML I can place pictures next to my drop-down boxes.

                                            cheers!
