[Plugin] Align tool 3D (bug fix)

@panoplos said:
Hello Didier,
I am also trying to install this on the Mac Version of Sketchup Pro 7. The plugins folder contains files with extensions of .plugin, not .rb. I tried both using the .rb and .plugin extensions with no luck.
When typing $align_loaded in the Ruby Console, the variable is nil.
Perhaps there has been some change the to plugin format in version 7?
I am looking forward to using this tool, so your support is much appreciated!
yikes panoplos, you're in the wrong spot..
if your 'plugins' folder is showing .plugin files then you're at
applications folder > sketchup.app > (show package contents) > contents > plugins..
that's the actual app and those 'plugins' are the file importer/exporters..ruby plugins go here:
Macintosh HD> Library> Application Support> Google SketchUp (#)> SketchUp> plugins
try that out instead.

Hi!
until Joe Simhon showed how "Align Tool 3D" was working I hadn't noticed its interest..Playtime:
A rhombic triacontahedron consists of 30 golden rhombus perfectly identical. This Quasicrystal (Quasicrystals discovered in 1984) has been many fears for crystallographers because some had seen as a crystal with a symmetry of order 5, which is not like any self-respecting crystallographer knows!

Indispensable as soon as you have some objects who are not regulary oriented!

Not asking anything to be changed, however it took me some time to determine that what you call the "X axis" and "Y axis" can be any particular orientation. I was always trying to determine what the "X and Y axis" were while using the plugin. Lead to much frustration.
I always wanted to be able to get inside the plugin and change the "X" to "1" and the "Y" to "2". To me that would have been more logical to remember, I wanted the "1's" and "2's" to align with each other.
Thank you for your contribution.

Hi Ken,
You can also think that X represent the red axis, Y the green axis, just as when you locate/translate/rotate the SU axis system. -
Ken,
I really like your idea too because I'm not use to the "x,y,z" language yet. Just now getting orientated in the 3d space
Thank You for the plugin Mr. Didier Bur.

Thank you very mach!
-
it's an impressive plugin, almost equal to the Autocad's align tool. Autocad can scale the objet as it aligns, is it possible to do that with this plugin?
Thanks for your work, all of you are making sketchup a very advanced tool. -
Thank you so much for this tool. You have saved me so much time.
-
@seebe: you're welcome
-
D'oh moment for me!
I spent so long trying to align things using the rotate/protractor tools - when all I needed to do was type "Align" into the search box and intall this super plugin!Many thanks Didier, you have made my Sketchuping so much easier!
