[Plugin][$] Profile Builder 2

Hi Dale, not sure what's going on here: for some reason a profile from either a face or polyline won't execute....?

try to remove smartdrop.rb

Yes, it looks like you have a conflicting plugin installed (possibly smartdrop). Open the Ruby Console Window and checked for errors. It should give you a clue about which plugin is causing the problem.

Dale,

I can't get the pipe segments to align properly. What's the trick?

Thanks,

Paul

Add a small extension to your arcs in the direction of the joining pieces.

Dale,

That's the trick

Thank You,

A few quirks.

I kind of expected issues 2 and 3 to happen, but issue 1 is a surprise (I think it is fixable).

Thanks for the feedback John.

Is this an issue? The smoothing of edges is based on the angle between adjacent faces. If it is less than 30 degrees the edge gets smoothed
This is a bug that I hope to fix soon.
I couldn't see any issue here. The path could be edited as expected. Could you clarify the problem you noticed.

Just bought it...what an amazing plugin! Great work Dale!

Anyone knows where the Plugin stores it´s library of profiles?

I find no way to select different profiles, and when clicking "browse" (the mag glass button) it takes me to "My Documents" folder, where there are several skp files but no library as far as I know.

its in the sketchup plugins folder - > DM_profileBuilder2 - Libraries

I can only pay via paypal and would pay this plugin... could anybody tell me a way how i can purchase via paypal?

Hi,
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to purchase via paypal. All payments are handled through SketchUp's payment system (which does not currently support Paypal).

Hi Dale, quick question re: libraries...

Are we able to file profiles and assemblies in specific folders..? [say Curbs, Steel, purlins, etc..]

deaneau · 20 Apr 2015, 07:31

@Utiler

I´m not Dale, I would answer your question.

Select your Profile
Push the Plus (+)
Try your Profile
4 IF your Profile is Good go to Point 5.
Save your file (Profile)
in the Save Dialoge go up to the C:/Users/USER/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/DM_ProfileBuilder2/Libraries
Right click -> New Folder and Name your Folder
Save your new profile in this new folder

in PB2 all profiles will save as sketchup files.
this is good. so you could share your profile folder or you could download profiles from the Sketchup3DWarehouse etc.

look in one of the sketchup files (profiles) you will see, that all profiles will save in the X-Y Plane ( Top View). If your profile was selected in the Z-X or Z-Y (Front/Back-View or Left/Right-View) the Profile will ever save in the X-Y-Plane.
I´ll hope you have understand my answer (I´m not english native Speaker/Writer).

Hello,

I modified the Industrial Railing assembly and saved it per the instructions in the users manual. The file is there with the rest of the assembly examples but I can't open it or see a thumbnail pic.

Thank You,

Paul

@ Whaat
i want to offer my open apologize to you.

Hi Deaneau,
I appreciate your open apology even though I never got a chance to read the post your referring to. I am guessing you were frustrated by the lack of video tutorials. I agree, more tutorials are needed.

I had planned to be releasing about two video tutorials per week since PB2 was released but I have only been able to release a total of two so far.

Things usually don't work out as planned. I have been bombarded with multiple Paypal support requests and problems with installation / licensing. Addressing these problems have become my first priority and unfortunately, these issues cannot be resolved in days, it takes weeks (I am just one person after all and I do this in my limited spare time).

Once these critical issues have been resolved, I plan to be releasing more video tutorials. Hopefully, it won't be too long.

I thank you all for your patience and support of my work.
Dale

@ Whaat

Hi Dale, my rude words was **never**my intension. The F-Words i have used in my early life.

my intension was, to tell... manuals will be good, movies/videos will be better and both together is the best solution.(my opinion). if you look over the shoolder of your foreman(?) in Woodworking (for example) or you will learn to build a building or what ever, some times you will learn faster.
..yes you could read a book about woodworking... however this is not the same when you use this in real life.
theory and praxis is a dream team. or text and pictures.

Again: Excuse Me!

Dean

p.s. to find the right words is some times difficult for non native speakers.

I have read this now

RTFM - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

and now i know what it real mean.

deep flame in Germany you could become fine/penalty/forfeit. doing this again you could go in the Jail. i dont know how long.

deaneau · 22 Apr 2015, 18:37

for me it self. your plugin was easy to use.
i have find out a good solution for paiment if the Dev or Trimble accept only Visa etc.

A Prepaid Visa.

My Bank provide a Prepaid Visa. cost for this 3 Euro per month. this is a good solution.
the currency Euro to Dollar is in the time 1 PM CET or CEST Time Zone (CET – Central European Time/CEST – Central European Summer Time (Daylight Saving Time)). Ok this is not important for you.
When you tell, you accept only USD my Bank send this than in USD... if you have not telling what you accept my Bank send EUR. this is only important, if the currency is bad for you.

i understand this if you have had problems.

Adam (Lightup4Sketchup) provide Paypal. you could contact him and could ask...how many troubles have had Adam in the last time. i have not nowledge about this.

Paypal is like Prepaid. i send Money via my Bank Account to Paypal and paypal send this to your paypal account (PPA) . From this PPA you can send the Money to your Bank Account.
Or you can let this Money on your PPA and you can instantly pay other products in shops.

Many Shops in Ebay accept Paypal,too.

below the line is important that you and the user have no loss.

this what i write is´t new for you i think.

what you can do is a freeware version like PB1 for non professional. same concept. new profile generation is disabled.

i could produce tutorials. with Subtext/Subtitle with or without voice.

if you want i could send you an voice example

look here ,

ok this sound not 100% like an origin voice..how ever this voice is understandable for non native listener .

the pro version for PC (only for PC) have more cost.

and the studio version is more professional.. you can edit...how must the voice speek.

some voices will have ML features. an native amarican voice can speek french or spain too

i have the ipad version..not so expansive like the PC pro version an good for my need.
