[Plugin] Projection toolbar update

Didier Bur · 18 Nov 2007, 22:10

Hi all,

Here is an update (major revision) of my projection toolbar.
What's new:
· More user-friendly commands: click points instead of selecting objects for plane definitions and vectors
· Better selection errors checkings
· Project faces along Z and along vector gathered in one command.
· ExtrudelineTool included
· lines2cyl and credits commands suppressed
· Construction line at intersection of faces enhanced: multiple selection supported
· New icons
· PDF doc included

Enjoy,

Unzip in Plugins folder.
Read the doc...

Thank you Didier - your toolbar has been a great friend in the past - i'm looking forward to see the changes.

EDIT: had a look at the new script (though i still have to read the doc)

one question - how feasible to add 'project lines' along red/green?

i am thinking of using it to extrude lines and have them intersect faces - very useful/quick when working with cad files

Hi cadFather,
I'm afraid I don't understand 'project lines along red/green' ?
Using "project lines along vector" would not do the trick ?
Please explain it to my tired brain...

for some reason i can't upload an image - the tool i have in mind is the project along z

i was thinking of a keyboard shortcut which quickly projects lines along one of the other axis. to be sure the vector one works so don't worry about it...take a good rest
(if you can)..

Thanks

hallo Didier,

I installed the "projection toolbar", it works fine, BUT now the right mouse button doesn´t work how it should: when I activate an object and klick the right mouse button (to call the context-menu), the object is not active any longer.

I use SU6free on MacOSX - I´ve tried it with a 3 button mouse and a Wacom tablett -> same problem

didier,

what can i say? u da man!!! one more fantastic script that will boost everyone's productivity.

i tried all the tools and they worked perfectly on my mac running OS 10.4.11.

regards and thank you once more.

p.s.: would it be at all possible to control the distance between the two points needed to extrude lines along a vector via VCB?

You can make it work this way, or did I forget something ?
Click a first point somewhere, drag the mouse in the direction you want the vector to be, then enter a number in the VCB.
PS: multiwalltool tuto not forgotten

this has become one of my many favourite scripts, but i cant assign keyboard shortcuts to the individual commands, any way of fixing this?

xrok1 · 7 Mar 2009, 21:02

i've been wanting this for a long time now. thanks to the new ruby search index and thankyou very much dedier.

xrok1 · 15 Mar 2009, 19:07

Hmmm, check this out. if i select more than one line to project perp. to plane, only 1 projects???

try the file, select all the edges then the face obove it and try project perp. to plane.

Bonjour/Hello
J'ai certains icones en double, en français et en anglais (en vert sur l'image).
I have duplicate icons, in french and in english (in green on picture).

Il y a 2 versions successives mélangées en même temps!

J'ai "fr_projection_extension" et "projection_extension". Donc je vire "projection_extension". C'est bien ça?

EDIT : C'est fait mais j'ai perdu les 4 derniers icones de la barre qui n'étaient pas en double.

xrok1 · 15 Apr 2010, 18:54

great set of tools, thankyou.
is there any chance to add a project along normal to the extrude lines tool?
