[Plugin] Lines to tubes
-
Hi all,
Here is an update of my former script "line2cyl.rb".
Intended to create renderable wire frame models.
Some bug fixes and enhancements:- Make group of all tubes or not,
- Each tube is a group or not,
- Paint tubes with a material,
- Quick doc included.
Have fun,
09.12.08: french version available
Please get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=lines2tubes

Thanks a lot for this great new plugin.
One thing though, the PDF says that the tool can be selected in the Tools menu. That wasn't the case for me. It was in the Plugins menu.
EDIT: I was wrong. I was using the Lines2Cylinders ruby from the Plugins. I cannot find the Line2Tube ruby at all.

A new "hit" for sure
PS In french "Hit" = tube -
thank didier, just what i need this week.....!!!!

I don't know what I can say more
Maybe for any reason the plug is not installed in the good place?
-
Didier, I am getting the same result as johnsenior1973.
I have placed the ruby in the Plugins folder but does not show up in the Tools menu.
-
It is not showing up for me either.
-
look under plugins..... [to the left of HELP!!!!]
sorry, had a little moment there...
-
Is that where it shows up for you because it is not there for me?
Furthermore the pdf file Didier attached said it would be located under Tools, not Plugins.Edit:
Here is part of the pdf just in case you did not read it.
And yes... I restarted SU. -
You'r right Boo, Tools is where it is.....
now have a little moment at my expense!!!
-
It was listed just fine for me on Vista 64bit in the tools menu. Great plugin!
Here's a helix, triple helix, double helix, something that isn't a helix, but sort of close, then another 10x helix or something. I'm sure most of those names are wrong, so just look at the picture

for the problems, maybe you must disable the old "line2cyl.rb"?
maybe... -
Thanks didier!
It works great!I've already used...
One single possible request... would be possible to modify so we could extrude along square shapes as well?
So in Solo's image above for example, i could quickly build beans, columns.. etc etc.. all square?Thanks again!
PS: i've just donwloaded your all in one file... i'm feeling it'll take me ages to check them all...

maybe...for me it works with old tool....
Thanks Didier for a very usefull plugin... I was wondering if there is way to clean up intersection...
-
...thanks,Didier!...I expected it for a long time!
-
Very nice Didier, thanks
Additionally may be you could:
1/ add a rotation parameter (when precision is 4 one would get square section (rotation 45))
2/now I weld lines to get continuous result. Any chance to get it automatically?
3/conjunctions? -

maybe......yes! "line2cyl.rb" should be deleted
...Didier, please restore this function in "projection_extension.rb"
