[Plugin] Simple Building Generator
-
This is looking very nice!
CityGen faded away because none of us had time to continue it. Always felt bad about that one as it felt like a good collaboration project.

very nice... now all I need is a city to map.
Thank you very much kris
Yes, it's sad that the major problem is this plugin is useless without any city map
Do you know any site that provide 2D city map?
If you do, I will create tips section for that and put it in the first post.
I'm sure that it'll help a lot people@juju said:
I found the extension, strange that it wasn't on her site, from I could tell...
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/eneroth-townhouse-system-beta
Probably not quite the same as what you're doing, but not too dissimilar either.
That plugin is awesome
Both are "Building Generator" and aim to reduce worktime.
Her plugin create a house, mine create a skyscrapper
And judging by how her plugin work I bet it's far more harder to create than this one@thomthom said:

Thank you very much thom...
Having a predecessor says something about what I'm working on is a morale boostSad to know that CityGen was never complete, but I'm glad CityGen dev team have a better job

Wow. This is an excellent plugin. The great thing about this is that the shapes are simple rectangular volumes which lend better for urban landscapes as opposed to pitched roofs. Well done!

Hi, rizkynggakool.
Nice script, but i canยดt get it work. Iยดm running on SU2015, and i got a big errormessage with a lot of content. It seems to expect something. In the description
you mentioned a dependencie with "offset.rb" - incuded. I can not find it anywhere.
May be that this is my problem ??Greetings ...

Thank you very much Elibjr, I really appreciate that
I'm sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with my college for a few daysAnyway, have you tried the new v1.07 ?
I'm pretty sure it'll reduce your worktime even more -

Hi Ralle, thank you for contacting me and for the feedback.
What kind of error message?
Could you provide some screenshot?Yes, it's using offset.rb by Rick Wilson from smustard.
but that shouldn't be problem anymore since I already included the offset.rb inside this plugin. -
i guess i got the same message on the ruby console u_u itยดs this one:

hello, someone explain me why plugin's malfunctioning. I do like to buy programa does not operate. help me please ..... thanks.

Hi guys i have the same problem , is there any one found a fix for this problem?
-
Hello there.
Well, I having the same error of nektares and menelao47. I'm using Sketchup 2015 and trying the Simple Building Generator v1.07 in Windows 7 64 bit. -
This plugin seems to work with Sketchup 2013, but not with Sketchup 2015.
-
These tools are so useful for urban modelling. Thanks to all you developers who have put a lot of time into coding these plugins.
ThomThom mentioned above that he has felt bad about the CityGen project coming to a standstill. What a pity it's not continuing. I have been hunting for months for SKU plugins and other software that can export to SKU (eg in Collada format) to assist with street / city modelling and in a number of places I have looked I find projects partly finished and discontinued. City Engine is great but it's huge bucks when you come to add the plugins in to export in, say, Collada format.
So, to encourage all you coders - there are many of us, I'm sure, who would love to see a comprehensive urban modelling addition for SketchUp. Don't stop the coding please.
Best regards,
Garth -

I have been trying this plugin and the biggest problem with it is the materials and material names. You can't use the Sketchup name or display_name. You have to paint a face in the model with any materials you want to use and then rename them and use those names.
As for the plugin code, to make it Ruby2.0 compatible, you will need to remove the space in front of the opening parentheses,"(", on all the method call statements.
