[Plugin] Lines to tubes

i think there should also be an option to make not round tubes but square hexagonal triangular ones.
I think if you downloaded the plugin and checked the manual you'd see that it already does what you want.

for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"?
maybe...I did not have a chance to look at this until now on my work machine. I had line2cyl.rb here as well. I installed Lines to tubes and got the same results... not showing up. So I then tried as you suggested Pilou, deleting line2cyl.rb and now it is showing up.
Thanks.
Ahhh, great.
Thanks Pilou! -
Silly me....i did download the plugin and tried it before posting that...which makes me a bigger fool...but i didn't try the options...and manuals...who ever reads them?

Great plugin. Is there a way to close the gaps in sharp corners just like in "Pipe Along Path"?

would be possible to modify so we could extrude along square shapes as well?
Use a precision of 4 and you'll get square section prisms.(RTFM)
Simple anD easy.. MERCI!
Great plugin, I was trying to create a window and realized that using precision 4, the corners were at 45 degrees, can I control the orientation of the angles?
Thanks! -
Doesn't show up for me. I don't have older version at all. Any ideas?
-
i just DLd and it showed up in tools menu.
thanks dedier!
-
Whats DLd?
-
Its working now! WOOHOO! Great plugin!

I love this plugin! It's so incredibly easy to use and all the options I need are included. A+ for ease of use!
Combined with the soapskin bubble plugin it's almost addictive
It does sometimes crash my sketchup. The progress percentage builds up, slows down, and eventually just stops. A second or third try (saving before starting) usually does the job though.
All in all, pretty much brilliant!
-
first I must thank you for your handy tool Dider, and then I thought if you could combine this plugin with a geosphere creator + an option to have sphere in junction points, then we would have A LATTIC TOOL ,right in sketchup, that makes space frames easy.

@majid
for some things you can use that
A cool use of this "Multiple Face Offset" By Remus
If you don't use it in this case Windowizer(3 free or 4) By Rick Wilson @Smustard
don't make the "Frame Inset"!
Windowizer is a crazzy plug : All types of piercing windows + multiple selectionsSelection Only faces by Selection Toys by Thomthom

My EEbyFace also does something similar but it allows you to define the extrusion's cross section by making a 'flat' face [it's Y green axis = extrusions initial Z blue axis] - the face can be any shape you like so you are no longer limited to circular tubes...
-
wow its working man............
i love it
thanks a lot -
Just installed this plugin and its great for converting custom autocad hatches into solids. Thanks man!

Didier Bur plug "Line to tubes" can make circles of 3 edges so a triangle, 4 edges so a square, etc...
-
I tried this, but the tubes don't get "welded" / smoothed at edges:

Edit: Ok, never mind.. I used BZ tools to convert my loop to a bezier curve (edit 2: polyline is better, actually, for this...), and then applied this plugin. It's all welded now!
