@ Tig Same problem but ...
Just enter any number then backspace for erase it then write c then Enter
And you can keep your C shortcut

[honoluludesktop]

Are any other script.rb required to be installed in the plugin folder?

Hi Didier !!
One question : Is it possible to add an "undo" key inside the command ?
Thank you !

[Hazza]

Do you know how easy this tool makes it to create pieces of wood for my models!!!! Hit D, enter 2 of the dimensions, click click, done.

That is awesome, thank you...

Hi,

@unknownuser said:

I can't get 'C' to work closing the loop - I have a short cur for circle that's 'c' so it dumps into that. Perhaps having something like shift+enter to close might do it ?

I noticed that also at the office on a standard install of SU, at home my PC doesn't have the "c" shortcut...
BTW, how to detect the Shift+enter keys pressed ?
I was thinking of a "x" shortcut instead but Shift+enter is more intuitive.

@honolulu: no, no additionnal files required. Maybe a glitch with the pushpull if you are on Mac ?
@Pilou: want always more, hey ? i'll try to do it...

thanks

This is fantastic, Didier. I have one suggestion (for now Each time the user hits the enter key to draw the walls so far, commit the operation so the wall sections can be undone one at a time. Thanks again, this is really useful. CB.

With some arcs now?

No no no. Ask TIG!
BTW, you can draw walls that include arcs with the "line2wall*.rb" scripts.

Excellent idea - I was working on something similar, mine was called 'mline' - you beat me to it ! Well done.

I can't get 'C' to work closing the loop - I have a short cut for circle that's 'c' so it dumps into that. Perhaps having something like shift+enter to close might do it ?

The code is basically "if key1== enter AND key2== shift then..." For example

def onKeyDown(key,repeat,flags,view)
###...
  @key="shift" if key==CONSTRAIN_MODIFIER_KEY
###...  
end#def

Patch published today. Shortcut for "close" changed to "x" instead of "c".

[pilou]

Damned I have x for X-Ray
So my previous trick will work fine again

@unknownuser said:

Just write any number like 1
then backspace for erase it
then write x
then Enter

It's like Glen Gould but works

Using "X" is a good choice: x is usually reserved for copying - e.g. x3 to make copies within other commands and isn't a shortcut... If like Pilou you want to use 'X' as a shortcut for something like X-ray you need to remember to use 3x for copies rather than x3, as the latter will invoke X-ray rather than make copies ! Persoanlly I use Alt+X for X-ray mode...

cool little trick

Great work, Didier! Thanks so much for sharing!

a couple little things:
when I choose "show axis"... it does not show... whether or not I have it pop the wall up.

After drawing a wall, I exit the tool, then I want to draw a double line vertically on a face, so I choose to use the tool again... set width to 12", no face, no close. I draw a vertical line from top edge to bottom edge of the wall face. I hit enter for it to draw the double line. I get this.
