Yes. It is compatible.

Why don't you post a sample SKP file that illustrates the problem you're having? Help us help you.

TIG · 26 Nov 2014, 12:24

is this compatible with sketchup 2015 32 bit? i cant make the plugin select the face.
Should be compatible.
Does it load properly ?
Have you read and understood its usage/instructions ?
Are there any error messages in the Ruby Console when you try to use it ?
Have you installed the latest LibFredo ? You need to do this as well, and restart SketchUp...

Box · 26 Nov 2014, 12:26

Be sure you are doing it the right way, it is click and drag.

TIG · 26 Nov 2014, 12:54

That error message will be very useful to Fredo in establishing what's wrong...
Over to him...

frankflafy · 26 Nov 2014, 13:22

should i PM him?

TIG · 26 Nov 2014, 14:07

You could, but Fredo regularly visits here, so he should see your post/plight soon...

frankflafy · 26 Nov 2014, 15:38

@frankflafy

The error on <model>.entityID is very strange because in Sketchup this is valid (it returns "Model".

Do you get this error for a sepcific model or always?

Actually, this is Dynamic Component that adds that to the Model class. It adds a few methods to make the Model class blend with the regular Entity class.
The changes DC do to the SketchUp API classes makes sense - but unfortunately they where added as part of DC and not the API. So if DC is disabled they won't work.
I personally want them merged into the official API - though there are challenges as some of them are not ideal for the API, as they have some failing edge cases that was good enough for DC, but not for an API. Need to be careful to reduce breaking things. Hence it's not been done yet.

Everytime I try to use Joint push pull, it freezes at 63 %.. Please help, I really need that tool for shape I'm working on it.. I'm using SU 15 pro. Thank you!!

TIG · 4 Dec 2014, 16:59

Do you mean by 'every time' - 'whatever I try to use it on [even the simplest box]...'
OR do you mean - 'whenever I try to use it on a particular set of geometry...'

First off, we must assume you have installed the latest version of this tool and the required Lib ??

If it's the first problem, then something is up with either the way the tool is installed or you are trying to use it - as it works faultlessly for most of us.
What settings etc are you using ?

If it's the second problem, then there's probably something wrong with your geometry...
Can you post a SKP of it so that we can check it out, and thereafter advise you more constructively...

Feature Request.

Hi, Fredo.

I love your plugin, and have been using it very well for awhile now.

Because of my workflow, there is a tiny feature request I would like to make if it isn't too difficult.

Let me know if there is a way to produce the result that is shown on the right, as supposed to the one on the left.

(Maybe there is a way, I suspect with "Borders" and different type of push-pull modes, but no luck so far)

I would like two or more faces connected to be pushed all-together, but no edges created on the sides.

Thank you in advance.

pilou · 29 Dec 2014, 18:59

You have just the line on the top and not on the bottom?
Maybe you can use remove inner faces by Wikii ?
And Clean Up by Thomthom on the selection of the Vertical + bottom faces ?

Joint PushPull + Remove inner face + CleanUP = your exact result on the right!

( here in Xray Mode)

Normal

Box · 29 Dec 2014, 22:20

Do you mean like this?

pbacot · 29 Dec 2014, 23:10

looks like he also wants the original edge removed. Maybe a "too" special case? There are so many options in this tools as it is.

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, I just wanted the line on top, not on the bottom.

Also, all other functions create hidden/soften line on the side (it will be visible when hidden geometry is enabled)

I know there is a work-around with cleanup and some other plugins. But I do hundreds of these sometimes.

I was just looking for a easier solution if it wasn't so troublesome.

A good point.
It does have a lot of options, I thought maybe an option for my purpose hidden somewhere.
if not, maybe a easy fix.

yes but sometimes with a tricky simple selection and the good plugin
you can make that in one second!

edit3: there used to be an angry rant here from me, which was unjustified and stemmed from time pressure and my inability to, in fact, read the manual (or watch the tutorials).

so, sorry to those who had to read it, and i apologize for using this forum to vent my frustration.

have a nicer day than I'm having,
