[Plugin] Draw Boundingbox
-
I just downloaded this plugin and its a very useful addition, I'm using it, thanks to 'dedmin's recommendation for use with Layout. Its difficult sometimes to use the dimensioning tool in LO on rounded or odd shaped geometry. this tool certainly helps! Thank you
grouping the resulting boundary box would make a great simple plugin more streamlined. if at all possible.... please ... maybe
-
I noticed that if I rotate some objects and use this plugin, the bounding box will use the rotated boxes of these other objects... any way to perhaps get the real limits of the object set instead of using their (inaccurate) bounding box without having to explode everything?
-
There probably is, but I'm not sure how. This plugin is very simple designed specifically to use the boundingbox.
-
I missed this useful plugin the first time around. Thanks to Rich for pointing me here and of course thanks to ThomThom for another brilliant tool!
-
Thanks for this great little plugin Thomthom, it's allowed me to reset the axis on an irregular component that inherited from someone else's model.
I'm not sure how often I'll use it, but it's great to know about all of your cookie ware plugins, thanks ...

Hello dear thomthom. Can I ask you to make a small edit to your plugin for me so that it puts construction points not only at the outer corners, but also in the center of the construction lines. For your understanding, I will attach a picture. (Additional points I built using AAV) Additional points help to move or position rounded objects. Thank you.

Hi AISMebel,
Below is what you can do:
Browse your disk to your Plugins folder to find a sub-folder named 'tt_draw_bb'- open the file 'core.rb' in that folder (using a'pure' text editor)
- find line #118
- add the following line:
ents.add_cpoint( Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5, face[0], 0.5, face[1]))- save the core.rb file and restart SketchUp.

What a nice addition to Thom Thom's valuable plugin. I didn't know I needed that until now. Thanks. And I hope TT doesn't mind.

@Didier-Bur Your text code is wrong (different than the one from your picture) - the one from your picture is correct.!
Thank you anyway - it worked, after an error from SU 2024, I figured it out.! -
@Didier-Bur Hi. Thanks a lot, everything worked out. I was a little late thanking you, I completely forgot that I asked for help))
I also added the option to move the "Bounding Box" to a separate layer, which proved to be very useful.
