[REQ] two ideas for plugs
-
Hi,
It is a bit pity I have no clue in scripting... or time to study that.. anyway, I was thinking about 2 things that can be useful for "users" like me....First is batch export or somerhing like that....and I will explain: if I set Views of a facades and plans, and I would like to export it all to DWG or JPG or PDF instead of do it one by by one some plugin that takes all the scenes and export it to whatever....
Second of it is abit weird may sound... but it is first step in make SU as a decent draft software: some plugin that, when view in paralel a section for example or a facade divide the view in depth to different layers, then, saparate it to layers... hard to explain... mmm.... I attach image..
In this image lets say that every 4 meters is a alyer, the purpose is to give to 2D drafts a different pen width in autocad or rhino (which the the pen width is given to a specific layer) hope it is clear...
and beside, Bless you all, u make SU the software of the dreams, i salut you all!!
Nankyo.

You might want to talk to rickw about that first one, hes recently writeen a script that exports all scenes to jps, ao i imagine it wouldnt require too much of a modification to get it to do dwg.
Second idea looks a bit trickier. Better wait to see what the ruby master say...
-
For exporting to non-image files, that is a bit difficult, in that we cannot specify a 2D export through ruby (like we can do manually), so a flat dwg file is not possible - all we can do is save the whole 3d model with a particular view active. For jpg/png/bmp/tif, see SceneExporter, and SceneExporterPro is coming soon (hopefully this weekend).

Damm my lack of ruby knowledge! I was so close to giving some useful advice

Hey Rick, I don't agree this time. ADO can do it ! (and other formats as well).
@Nankyo:
Go here and download ADO.zip, I think it can do the first thing you mentionned:
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/em_fil_page.htmHere is a short description:
Automatic 2D output from pages. Features: pages settings, images settings, creates 6 standard ortho views, creates 4 standard axonometric views, exports either standard pages, or user pages, or all pages to various bitmap and vector format files. Supported output formats: jpg,tif,bmp, tga, png, dwg,dxf,eps,pdf. -
J'ai besoin d'aller plusieurs fois a votre bibliothéque ruby, Didier (et faire un peu plus d'attention!). ADO c'est beaucoup utile. Merci!
I need to visit your ruby library more, Didier (and pay a little more attention!). ADO is very useful. Thank you!

Allow me to restate my assertion that there is no way in pureSU ruby to do what is asked. Adding a .dll and .so and system calls is a bit different. Does it work on Mac as well as PC?
Of course, saying that should not in any way be interpreted as diminishing your accomplishment.
BTW, looking at the user-guide PDF, I must likewise disagree this time (last paragraph): there IS a way to find out if a scene is used in the slideshow.
-
guys, You are the Best. Thanks for that plug, going to try it now....
Funky.
mmm.. it is a bit buggy but it works
I will try to explain the second soon... with some drafts example..
Good night u all.

OK OK you won Rick

Sure it doesn't
-
Didier,
Sorry, I didn't mean to argue - it wasn't about winning a debate. You were right that there IS a solution possible, and you made it happen
Good job!BTW, the test for a scene in a slideshow is page.label==page.name
