@Einstein

I am not clear with your request.

But if you look for the old Joint Push Pull, here it is.

Fredo

Thank you.

I meant, if I choose "vector pushpull" and tick LOCAL, the extrusion along X, Y or Z still does not respect gropu's local axes but global axes of model. I am referring to the new version of plugin.

You'right. There is a problm there.
Actually, in Local mode, the Vector Push Pull does follow the local direction, but the visual dashed line shows the direction wrongly (in model coordinates).
I'll fix it and republish.

Thanks for signaling.

For Sketchup versions above SU2016, I now use SVG icons, which look like this

I guess this is supported on Mac...!!

EDIT: It seems on Mac, the icons files should in .PDF, whereas they are in SVG on Windows. Best is to update LibFredo6 to v8.1b , which fixes the problem for Mac.

Thank you for update

but...

the behaviour of LOCAL XYZ vector extrusion didn't change. When we tick LOCAL, it still sticks to global axes.

The problem was simply visual, with the Axis direction not shown correctly. I fixed it in 4.3a.

As a reminder, the Local flag is only useful in relation with locking standard axes X, Y or Z (with arrows).
When there is no axis lock, then the direction is whatever you pick in the model, Local or not Local.

Also as a reminder, when you start JPP Vector, it is locked with the previous directions (in case you wish to re-use it). Just press Shift to unlock it.

Thanks to advise

To Mac users.

I am testing the Vector-based icons for Joint Push Pull on Mac, which requires icon files in PDF formats.

Attached is the one for the JPP Quick Launcher.
JPP_icon_QuickLauncher.pdf

Could a kind Mac user downnload it and put it the folder Fredo6_JointPushPull/IMAGES_Standard, and then restart Sketchup to see if the icon displays OK.

EDIT: Just test version 4.3b on Mac to see if toolbar icons display well.

Many thanks

Fredo

Perhaps it's my misunderstanding but it still goes along global, no local

How did you set the X direction: via keyboard or clicking on the palette button?

Fredo

Einstein · 26 Feb 2018, 22:26

Tried both with the same result.

Could you post your model, because I don't see where this weird direction in red comes from.

Fredo

Einstein · 27 Feb 2018, 09:29

It comes from global X axis. Local is ignored.

had to go back to previous version, as often the pushpull goes the opposite way. can't find the reason but will keep posted if i experiment more with it.

Thanks to elaborate on this, while I am at fixing JPP.
Is it when you type in the VCB, or when you drag, or when you drag and then use the VCB?

Fredo

CadFather · 27 Feb 2018, 20:12

just when i drag - typing a negative/positive value works as expected

Not clear

one particular tool or all tools?
if you drag, how does this happen exactly?
