[Plugin] Zorro
-
hey just wanted to know if this tools is going to be updated, this tool and knife in subdivide and smooth will always crash my drawing without fail, it seems to not like like anything thats bigger than a fresh drawing.
-
Ive had this script working ok ..then all it does is splat out..
However its a fault with your model somewhere. Try grouping your model and locking it.
zorrro will now work on any new bits you make...As an exercise it would be worth grouping and locking in sections to find what is causing the splat.Hopefully when youve grouped the problem area zorro will get working again... -
I am new to this tool, but it seems great! Can you use Zorro on parts that are in different visible components at once, or do you need to explode them to cut them together?
-
you need to explode them. Only the faces inside the component you are currently editing will be cut.

A beautiful, extremely useful and aptly titled script, Whaat.
Thank You.
Since you mentioned that you're not going to be working on this anymore, just wanted to inquire if anyone was doing anything with it to resolve the parallel projection usability. That would increase the usability of this tenfold or more.
I wouldn't mind doing it but I don't know anything about rb, except to use them
Ta,

oppsssss! stupid me.
i thought it was on the view toolbar. sorry for that. thanks.
i love this one.

I'm happy to find this tool, realy nice! I have no idea how you create such impressive things, respect.
This tool could be even better if it could work in parallel projection. Are youstill working on it or not? -
My commercial script 'Subdivide and Smooth' http://www.smustard.com/script/SubdivideAndSmooth
has a tool identical to Zorro but it also works in parallel projection mode (and it snaps to axis)I hope to release an update to Zorro sometime in 2009 that works in parallel projection mode, but you might be waiting quite awhile.

Hi Dale - that would be great!
-
Be on the lookout for an update to Zorro coming very soon...
It's gonna be good....
-
can't wait to see what diego de la vega has been up to...
cheers Whaat!

It's great! It will be more useful if the divided parts are grouped so that unwanted portion could be deleted easily. Of course it is difficult to make it as two parts when components are nested. If that is the case, grouping may be done within the components.

Hi Evr (and welcome),
Check out Zorro 2 then:
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=16038- It "resides" in the context (right click) menu of a section plane (so easy to set up)
- It will actually cut through all nested groups/components
- Finally it actually deletes what is behind (invisibly) the section plane.
%(#BF0000)[So be extra careful to only use it
on a copy of your model!]
-
Thank you Mr. Gaius. It really works fantastically.
-
Now combine it with SectionCutFace and you can fill in those ugly holes.

How do you use the section Cut face with this sort of inclined cut face?
Cut first with Zorro2, then ?
-
Thanks Dale, really like the plugin and for simple geometry no problem, but on a more complex model I use zorro2 and it either bugsplats or sketchup simply disappears from my screen
Any modelling errors I should be careful of? It's a model made in skp8 and exported to skp6...any help appreciated.

hey, grouping and locking has done the trick! thanks!(note to self: read ALL of the posts beforehand)
