[Plugin] FloorGenerator ( Updated 6-Apr-2017)

sdmitch

a LAP setting would be AMAZING.

I did try to develop a clapboard option several years ago but never produced a satisfactory one. Perhaps it would be worth another look.

Your plugin is amazing. Thank You.
Is there a possibility to make some additional options in octagons pattern? Option to give the size of two tiles: the big one and the smaller one. It would be very helpful.

Have you looked at the "Hopscotch" patterns?

I'm in Architectural Visualization and material properties don't allow for accurate displacement maps. A plugin like this is tantalizingly close to creating the repeating clap/lap siding which our pro-user group needs. Sketchup has been blessed with rendering engines but this modelling aid is missing!

A basic "Clapboard" option has been added.

That is great!! Thank you for the LAP addition!

"Hopscotch" pattern doesn't fit
It must be octagonal pattern but with specific dimensions of two tiles: the big one - octagonal and smaller one - square tile.

I'm having problems with the plugin in SU 2017. Su 2015 seems to be working fine.

Using even stock settings I get a lot of random tiles missing.

sdmitch

Once again SU2017 is acting in a different way than previous versions. Maybe there is a solution but I doubt it.

So have 2015, 2016, 2017 is a good thing!
(and that divide by 3 number of plugins (if distributed) for a more speed launch)

rogalxxx

so, no cure for this bug? any chance It will be patched?
Any other plugin that can generate nice tiles?

Protrude by Jim + Lattice Maker by TIG + FredoScale by Fredo?

Hi,

I have that same problem.Is there a solution?

You could always do a work-around by saving the SKP in 2016 version, open SU2016, do what you want there with the plugin, save and open in 2017 again. I know, far from ideal.

Who has any experience with Oob Layouts? It also reports only compatible up to 2015, but I have often had where extensions say that and work fine in the later (supposedly incompatible) SU version. Anybody willing to trial it?

I have tested FloorGenerator in SU2017 and had no problem with missing tiles.

Could you post your model so I could test it myself?

here, Floor generator on stock settings, two identical planes-second one with tiles applied.
looks like geometry has some random lines and faces, even though I have set no random parameter.

I confirm, this issue is happening with me too,although there are no other plugins are active with it.

I retested FloorGenerator in SU2017 using your model and, in 16 tests, 5 appeared to be normal, 1 had a single tile missing and the other 10 had several missing in random locations.

My initial test seemed ok because I stupidly used the Random Colors option.

I will do what I can to fix this problem.

[highlight=#ff0000:153r5xxr]GOOD NEWS!!!! Once again it seems that the problem is the same old group explode redefining the ID of the selected face. Updated version now available in Plugin Store and my blog.[/highlight:153r5xxr]
