here they are again at about the right size

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 03:46

They are very nice and clear, I like them, thank you again. And if you can, would you make them the same colors as the standard ones to make them look more official (I don't think you would leave them pink). As, for the script, I didn't do much work on it today because it's my brothers birthday

baz · 21 Nov 2007, 03:47

Happy to change the colour, not sure what you mean by 'standard' lotsa colours on the toolbars, (including pink
you choose, I think you need a bright colour tho.
baz.

ps: I love the way the spell checker thinks Im spelling 'colour' wrong! Ok color. happy now?

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 03:47

Oh, well if you've seen pink ones that's fine with me, but I've only seen brownish ones so that's what I would be more comfortable with. And a bright color would probably make it easier to see, good idea. And should I put "Baz" in the credits or something else

ps: color is only spelled colour by the British (see http://www.dictionary.com )

baz · 21 Nov 2007, 03:48

its your call on the colour.
I dont need a credit, glad to help you ruby wizards for a change.

May I say how much I appreciate the skin.rb script.

I can use SketchUp to create both ends of sheet metal 'square to rounds', 'skin.rb' will join the points, 'jf_unfoldtool.rb' will unfold a flat pattern which I can export full size as a DXF profile and feed to a laser profiler.

As for the color, I would like it brown like the ones that come with sketchup, just a little bit lighter though . Now I don't know why I must disagree so much with someone I'm grateful to for helping me, but if I don't put your name in the credits and say that I did it all by myself I would be lying, and I was just wondering if "Baz" would be good enough or if you would like you real name in there (or if "Baz" is your real name). And if you cant get the background to be transparent, just send it to me withought any antialiasing and I will erase the background then antialias it.

Baz, I just took the large pictures of the icons, colorized them to my liking, and made them fit for being buttons. So the work load is now off of you but if you already have them just put them up and we'll see which ones are better. And thank you, Thank you, Thank You! for the icons

The script is coming along nicely and here is a in-between version with non-branching lines working, and it has the icons too. Just unzip everything into the Plugins folder.

Warning: the in-between versions are Very buggy

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 04:25

So, since I was getting slightly tired of programing I decided to take a break and show you guys just what the plans for future versions are. Each picture shows what that version will do in one operation. The current version is 1.8, working on 1.9.

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 04:28

Here are the rest. And all the versions in-between 1.0 and 1.7 had slightly different ways of doing the same thing, until 1.7 finally allowed enough expansion.

baz · 21 Nov 2007, 04:29

ok ab here they are again with the colour change, exported without aa.

edit: just saw yours, they look fine.

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 04:31

Ahhh... Perfect my colorizing left a odd tinge of pink in it but this will do very well.

Edson · 21 Nov 2007, 04:31

hi archboy (what about giving us your name?),

each new post makes my mouth water more than the previous one. if you are doing this at 14 just image what you will be doing at 30!

cheers.

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 04:32

So here is as close to version 1.9 as it's going to get because I ran into some trouble and think that it will be easier to fix it after changing to version 1.10 and beware that in-between versions are buggy! And as for my real name, it is in the copyright, and yes I to wonder what great things I will be doing at 30.

Darrel,

Brilliant script.
Nevertheless it gives me a "fakestart" eroor and from then on I have to click for every single edge to be created (and some more clicks/Enters for some reason).

Thanks anyway!

architectboy · 21 Nov 2007, 04:34

Oops, sorry but I forgot to remove some debugging stuff , those message boxes are just checkpoints along the code to help me figure out where problems are, they don't mean anything.

Gaieus · 21 Nov 2007, 04:34

OK, I deleted the two lines that launched the message boxes. The script works "fluently" now but actually does some irregularities; it does not start stitching from the point which would be logical for me. (See the attached picture)
Instead of the red edge another one from the next point on the circle (to the left) should go to the bottom right corner.
