Joint Push Pull Classic (Old version) - v2.2a - 26 Apr 17
-
Unfortunately the log does not seem to tell anything on the Ruby script itself, but only on the way it is called from Sketchup.
I don't really know what I can do as I don't have your platform at hand.
At least, you can maybe explore the idea of a conflict with other scripts and see if it improves.
Can you confirm it crashes the same even with a simple model with one rectangular face that you would would extrude with any of the 3 Push Pull tools?Then, I would need help from the Mac Community of Sketchup users!

wooooow, i want that offset tool :-O,it s a very usefull tool,until this i have to do the contour by hand on curved surfaces. U*re the man!!!
UPDATE After searching i realised that isn t done yet,but i ll wait for it
ely862me,
what are you talking about? it's out... avail. and works quite well! download it from the ruby repository
Well, the Offset on Surface tool will be published soon, I am just writing the doc.
Not so easy actually as the variety of topologies in Sketchup is immense!
Here is preview

fredo!!!!! you rule!
please allow a question
I know it's pretty intensive on the algorithm
-
i knew that isn t done yet and i m waiting for it,is gonna be something very nice and usefull,and u are great guy with i biiig brain and u do and u ll do a lot of people very happy and to lot of them u ll give an easyer way to do their job.
THX!!

You need to simplify the generated contour with a simple method where you take 2 vertices in sequence and check whether the original and generated points of the second vertex are on the same side of the plane determined by the original and generated points of the first vertex (this plane being normal to their common face).
If this is not the case, then you eliminate the vertex that has the smaller angle (this better preserves the original shape).Now to separate the contours as you wish is more complex, asyou need to make the faluty vertex a point of rupture, but then decide on which other point of the contour to connect it. This is certainly not intensive, especially if you have to do it on a surface, but surely possible.
I am still wondering why the standard Sketchup Offset tool does not do that, as on a plane and with a compiled code, this should be much easier!

sound reasonable - thanks for explaining! is this part of your script already? or should I dive into it?

dear fredo6
greetings from berlin. fredo6 - i'd say, don't spend too much time on this. your development is very important to many of us i think, so keep going. i think this is the priority. in the meantime, i think i might try your script with a fresh install on another machine to see if i have made this happen through a script conflict...? also, i can always re-install the first version for my "real" work...
BUT, just in case you are still curious and because you asked the question, i tested the script with the other two tools to answer your question. what i discovered is that it crashes in (i think) exactly the same way. attached are the two logs.
my method was as follows:
- open a new drawing in a new SU session.
- draw a box.
- push pull it up a bit (with the regular tool).
- pick a face.
- use one of the three tools.
- it starts - says, "double click or press enter to begin...)
- (pause) ... progress bar moves ... then ...
- <blank>
- SU disappears, i am in the finder ...
my biggest question is: why does the original script work and the new one not? what has changed? and, are any other mac users having this or similar problems? i am very curious. any mac people out there to comment...?
the mystery continues....
i've also attached the traductor pieces to make sure they aren't causing the problem....
best wishes to all

well well i fixed it! strange. i wiped out all of my plugins, started again, one at a time, and now it is fine.
so, the only thing i learned is that you CAN mess up your sketchup by having too many plugins. but i should have realized that... i am going to erase the posts above. sorry to all if i wasted anyone's time ... ;( -
A friend of mine just downloaded Joint Push/Pull from Didier's site. Now when he opens SketchUp he gets the following:

Dave,
Strange because this bugs existed only for one hour in the life of this script (see http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=6713&start=15#p43230).
But the version on Crai Ruby Depot does contain the bug apparently. Thanks for signaling.A working version is anyway available on the present forum at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=6708#p42783
Didier: When you can, can you please update on your site (and also indicate that it works on Sketchup 5).
Thanks
Fredo

Thanks Fredo.
He has the updated version and all is well.

Excellent! Between this and OOS I am going to save so much time modelling, thanks for all the hard work you've put in.

Fredo
Many thanks for your effort on these scripts, to quote Push Pull Bar "CRACQUER"
-
This Plugin is FANTASTIC!!! thank you
-
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this excellent script Fredo6. It works beautifully. I now consider your icons an essential part of the Sketchup screen.

Oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank u -
it's cool!!!
thank you
