[Plugin] FredoTools - v4.5c - 24 Jun 24

SpookyChick1013 · 18 Dec 2016, 21:10

Hi Fredo,

Thanks for continuing to update your tools.

I'm having an issue with ThruPaint where I invoke the tool and it promptly does nothing. Nothing shows in the error console, it just refuses to come up.

EDIT:]Woops! Mybad. There is something in the Ruby console.

@unknownuser said:

(eval):1: warning: already initialized constant T7

Hope this helps.

It was working fine for me prior to me updating things over the last two days. I'm using the latest downloads of FredoTools, and FredoLib, right out of the SU Plugin store.

I have double-checked the plugin footprint, and it looks like it should look.

Still on SU7.1.6860, Win7Prox64

Second update.
I have no idea why this worked but I unchecked Fredo Tools in the extensions, restarted and now Thrupaint is working just fine, as is everything else. The weird thing is, I did not re-enable The Fredo6 Fredo Tools extension, yet things are working fine.

Update weirdness makes my head hurt,

I guess there's nothing to worry about after all.

Thanks in advance,
Cathryn

Bonjour Fredo
Puisque c'est ma journée "réclamations", après LibFredo6, je reviens avec FredoTools.
Depuis un certain temps, je ne me souviens plus trop quand d'ailleurs (peut-être depuis ma migration vers Windows 10, il y a seulement quelques mois), la fenêtre qui s'affiche à l'écran après avoir lancé l'outil "Étiqueter les Surfaces" se trouve réduite en hauteur tel que montré sur la capture d'écran qui suit.
Ce n'est pas un gros problème, mais dans sa taille d'origine, je suis pas obligé de jouer de l'ascenseur.

This is due to SU2017, which is messing up dimensions in web dialogs.

Can you tell me if you can resize the dialog box?

Fred

bharralure · 13 Feb 2017, 16:26

Non, la boîte de dialogue n'est pas redimensionnable.

NEW RELEASE: FredoTools v3.0c - 13 Feb 17

FredoTools 3.0c fixes sizing issues for some dialog boxes in SU2017

Good day, does not work markvertex with fredolib 7.3 and 7.5 in windows xp. In fredolib 6.4 worked.
Sorry for the English language, computer translation from Russian.

Hi Fredo, any reason the Sold Volume calculator would report a solid back as a minus figure?
I took volume calc from my marble model and thought something was strange with the result. So checked individual pieces and some are reporting a minus figure, which of course deducts itself from the final overall result.

Dave R · 30 Jun 2017, 14:39

Cadmunkey, is it possible the faces are reversed on the volume?

Hi Dave, no I did check for this. I cant see a reason for it at all.

Dave R · 30 Jun 2017, 15:55

How about copying and pasting that volume into a new file and sharing it so we can see it?

Dave, happy to send it to you privately for a look? its a 12mb file.

@cadmunkey
You are right. Actually, the result is correct mathematically. In the algorithm, negative volumes are normally used for holes in solids. But intuitively, we are not used to negative volumes.

So, I fixed it, and it will go in the next release.

Fredo

These are not holes in solids, if you want I can email you my model for analysis.
Its a marble stone cut list, and some of the stones are reporting back as negative volumes.

fredo6 · 1 Jul 2017, 19:09

I mean that when you flip along a group or component instances, you actually transform their axes and mathematically, this gives a negative volume, as it does for holes in the solid.

Anyway, many thanks for signalling the problem.

I wish Curvishear could be become way more usable by
letting user 'in-vivo' move a vertex (and thus setting desired height and slope direction)

Bonjour Dave
Je confirme que "Volume Solides" affiche une valeur négative pour toute instance crée en miroir.
Ce problème n'est pas spécifique à SU 2017, l'ayant déjà constaté sous SU 2016 et SU 2015.
Je joint un Gif crée sous SU 2017.

NEW RELEASE: FredoTools v3.1a - 09 Jul 17

Requirement: LibFredo6 v7.7a

FredoTools 3.1a introduces a new plugin, called DivideEdges. It also supports hi-resolution screens and fixes some bugs.

See FredoTools home page for Download.

Fredo

JClements · 11 Jul 2017, 20:38

Divide Edges (DE) is a nice new addition to your toolset. Thank you!

Perhaps a version of DE could be adapted to produce dashed lines? When selected only an ODD number of segments would be available, then every-other-segment after the first segment would be deleted or hidden (not sure which would be the best to go). Maybe it could be "parametric" in the sense that the user could restore the original at later time and apply and different number of segments.

MoveAlong question:
How difficult would it be to implement
a Multiple objects move (rotate?) by their local axes?
