[Plugin] QHull

qwertyas

to make it work on VISTA, WINDOWS 7 run SKETCHUP AS ADMINISTRATOR

step by step:
1 rightclick on sketchup icon
2 select run as administrator
3 agree to yellow popup window
sketchup will start

to get flat voronoi net:

create some points (use projections plugin) they will be created on xy plane
select all points and convert to group
select group and copy vertical (no matter how high you place copy)

now you have two identical groups of points one above the second

select both groups
select menu plugins>qhull>voronoi> selection free

the voronoi tesselation will show up between point selections
done!

works for me, I hope will work for you

One has to find all the exe files that comes with the plugin, right click the files -> Properties and press the Unblock button. This is because Windows blocks executables downloaded from the internet.

Any chance of a Mac version? There is a Mac version of Qhull here:- http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~sorin/online-docs/qhull/qh-get.htm

I dont like to run as Administrator, so I searched an other "safer" way...

This is my solution for Windows :

Move the qhull directory form the SU plugins directory to the root of (I dont like to put something in the root of C:, but I prefer to run as admin )
In the SU plugin directory edit the qhull.rb and change

def self.initialize
	@qhull_path = Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins/qhull")
	@qhull_path = @qhull_path + "/qhull-2003.1"
end

to

def self.initialize
	@qhull_path = "c;/qhull/qhull-2003.1"
end

... and all works fine !

Edit 02/2015 :

This solution for windows is now obsolete since the plugin directory is in the User/AppData folder, no more authorization needed.

This plugin must be updated with Qhull 2012 for more stability on Win 64.
I did it for me, but I dont know if I can post it here... It's Avariant's plug, not mine

I'm not a Mac user for years...
There is a MacOS portage of Qhull. There is some one to port the Qhull plugin on MacOS with it ?
