mateo soletic

Thank You, Didier.

Edson,

Here it is zipped. I hope you can download it now.

i am afraid it did not work. this time i was able to download it as a text but look what kind of text i got?

cheers.

Gaieus

That's cool Edson - it is supposed to look like that for Didier encrypted it. Just copy it into the Plugins folder (or wherever you do this on Mac) and it will work, believe me!

Edson

thanks gai. i have no need to know what is inside the script. it is enough that it works!!

Gaieus

And does it?

Didier Bur

Hi Mateo,
I'm going to Croatia next week. Where are you living ?

Hi all

Didier, thanks for this script!

I have tried to make a cloud of the Roman forum using the data from this site:

http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Forum/geospatial

But the end result is not in the right scale.
I cant understant what i'm doing wrong, can anyone help me?

here is the SKP. file with my result:

Many thanks.

Edson,

Go to the Ruby Library Depot site (of Didier) and there you'll find a test (*.dat) file for the script.

Pedro,

The data provided on the website is probably in centimetres and your model is in feet.
Change the template/Units in your file where you're importing the data file, import it (and later you may change the units back).

I hope this works - please, let us know!

ELYSIUM

Tks Gaieus!!

That was the problem, i set the units to meters and it is perfect.
That was a real beginner mistake! lol
The first thing i do in a new model is change the units. How could i forgot it this time! tks.

Gaieus

Well, Pedro, everyone makes mistakes - especially when they are sooo obvious!

Ben Ritter

Does anyone know why my result is the wrong scale and inverted/mirrored?

Ben

Gaieus

Ben,

You might be using another template file ("units-wise") than the input is. That was "ELISYUM"'s problem, too (see above).

I don't know about mirroring. Maybe the order of the date-input? (It should be x,y,z - in this order).

I found a source to Read the Manual at: http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/Cloud.pdf

And I've got a question.
What data sources do you use for this? Are there terrain maps on the web in this format?

Yeah, it's right next to the script - as Didier noted above.

As for the input - use simple text files with the x,y,z coordinates of every single point entered into a line each.

The source of this data file... well, wherever you can get it. I enter my own measurements or use a survey station and get the data as a text file or anything.

This script is mainly for you to use your own data than for importing because by importing you can usually have your mesh already.

Didier, thank you for ALL your ruby scripts at your site... found a couple new ones I hadn't seen before.

you have a tiny glitch...
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/Roof-v2-1.zip is missing the '.zip' in the link, so that it's a broken link. I just added the ".zip" to my address line, and it d/ls just fine.

thanks again for your site.
The pushpull multiple faces with 2 selected points is going to be my new favorite tool! It's just what I came here looking for!

Didier Bur

Thanks Fletch,
Normally Rick Wilson's freebies links are redirecting you to Smustard as he requested. So the link is buggy twice. Will fix that asap.
Regards,
