[Plugin][$] JointPushPull Interactive - v4.9a - 02 Apr 25

Fredo,

Would it be easy to have normal push pull Taper with an angle or a offset distance instead of exclusivelly by ratio? It would be a nice feature to have for chanfering faces outside their plane with a double click. (I love this double click through groups/components)

Hi I'm having a small issue that I can't for the life of me understand.
I'm extruding the wall of a truncated cone, or more like a rounded plate that along with 11 other identical plates will make up the cone. I'm trying to make flanges around the sides of one plate to then instance it, but the sides keep intersecting and I can't seem to control them!
I did manage to get it right at first, but there were some other issues with the model so I have restarted and this time around I can't get it to work.
I'm using Joint Push Pull and Round Push Pull.

I'm getting this error message when trying to Joint Push pull:

@pixero

Thanks for signaling. This seems to be an unusual case.
Anyway, I have fixed the problem and will re-release soon.

Hi. I'm having a problem with the plugin gui showing up really small in SU. See attached picture.
I'm on SU2016, OS X 10.9.5.
How can I make it bigger?

Mike,

If you go to Windows > libFredo6 Settings... > Default Parameters..., you will find an option "Retina Screen" in the section "Palette Configuration".

If you check the option, you should get the palette buttons bigger (x 2). However, the text may remain small.

If you are OK, and since you are on SU2016, you can help me to see if we can resolve the issue, if you are OK to test some changes in the LibFredo6 library. I was hoping that it would be solved by Sketchup 2017, but that's not the case!

Otherwise, other high-dpi screen users have discussed some ways to avoid the issue by system set up. See discussion here.

What may I be doing wrong. Trying to pull up three surfaces sharing three edges.

I guessed that although it looked simple, there might be some errant geometry from making the faces. I grouped the faces and ran TT Cleanup3 and that fixed it.

Still small text size.

Hi Fredo,

I am a beginner in the use of Sketchup so maybe I did a bad manipulation, but for me, the installation of plugins JoinPushPull and Tools on Surface doesn't work (signature obsolete).
Do you have an explanation?
My version of SU is 17.1.173 and I'm on Mac.
Thank you for your help.

The plugin vetting process put in place with SU2017 calls for signatures. Just because a plugin / extension shows "outdated signature" or "unsigned" doesn't mean it won't work, it only controls what is to be loaded. If you're super paranoid and have set up SU2017 to only load signed plugins / extenstions then trying to load an unsigned / out of dated signature plugin / extenstion won't work. However if your plugin / extension loading setup is unrestricted then these will load.

Hi Juju,

Thank you, i'm not ''super paranoid'', but i like to understand ... and its my first day on SU !

Now i understand.

I will republish JPP with SU2017 certification.

There is nothing wrong with asking questions to understand. Anyhows, welcome to SketchUp! I must warn you, it is addictive!

As long as you get your plugins from reputable sources you should not have problems with rogue plugins and, as such, be able to leave the plugin/extension loading settings to unrestricted.

Happy Sketch(Up)ing!

Hey Fredo,

great tool! I've been using this plugin since 2 years ago. However, I've encountered a bug when trying to use JointPushPull.

I was trying to extrude this plane:

I've encountered quite a number of errors, but today I decided want to learn more what's going on.

@shukritobi

Can you attach the model which has the bugs.
The one you attached does not provoke errors, and is different from what you show on the picture.

NEW RELEASE: JointPushPull Interactive v3.6a - 02 Feb 17

JointPushPull Interactive 3.6a is certified for SU2017 and includes a few bug fixing in the generation of geometry.

I've just download the JointPushPull and LibFredo 6 but I don"t see the JointPushPull anywhere. I have Mac and I'm working with Sketchup 2017. Can somebody help me with that?
