[Plugin] Lines to tubes

[pilou]

The "Do curve" is somptuous!
(not my video
(currioussly don't works for the rectangles!

Bravo to Sdmitch!

Ps Will be very fine for any "section"

[ntxdave]

One thing that does not work correctly for me is the Materials parameter. It will only allow me to select a material that has already been used in the model.

Maybe I am doing something wrong................

To give you access to the potentially thousands of material SKM files that are not currently used in the model could be unbelievably complex, even it it were easy to do in the API - which unfortunately it is not...
To be frank having any material choice seems overkill, as it is really a a geometry creator ?

Indeed it behaves funny when it is run on rectangles.

But it seems fine for some others.

Fixed the problem with rectangles in my Edge_to_Tube plugin. Normal rectangles are bounded by 4 edges and not a 'curve' as polygons and circles are.

Excellent!

And can we imagine the same with any section ?

[rv1974]

My $0.02:

1. Fredo's Make curves (weld)
2. S4u 'Make Frame'

[pilou]

Yes but quid of differents number of segments of sections ?

@Sdmitch
Seems the "Do Curve" don't works in the new version!
Edit: Sorry I don't draw a polygon but a rectangle!
The trick is draw a poly with 4 edges then resize with FredoScale!

Yes, but this particular plugin is scrambled so only the creator can make that change.

I'm hoping to set the default 'Precision' input at 20. looked into the .rb file but it's all scrambled. anyone can help?

sdmitch, where can I download your Edge_to_Tube plugin?

[Munene]

[Didier Bur]

Hi,
Go to the Resources tab and select the PluginStore option.

You didn't find the part of the Reply page shown in the red box, below?

Click on Choose File, select the file on your computer, click Add the file.

It was listed just fine for me on Vista 64bit in the tools menu. Great plugin!

Here's a helix, triple helix, double helix, something that isn't a helix, but sort of close, then another 10x helix or something. I'm sure most of those names are wrong, so just look at the picture

How can you make Lines to Tubes work in Sketchup 2014?

Just install it using the Sketchucation ExtensionStore tool, select the edges and then run it. It works just fine in older SketchUps.

[mleslieperez]

Mine is saying "unsigned" so it isn't able to install on my sketchup... can you help me fix this?

[TIG]

Being 'unsigned' need not be a problem.

Edit your native Extension Manager settings - Loading Policy > Unrestricted

Restart SketchUp and version-compatible, but 'unsigned', extensions [i.e. usually older] will then load OK.
Only install extensions from trustworthy sources - like SketchUcation, the Extension-Warehouse and a few developers' sites which offer direct downloads...
