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

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

              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...

                    This is fantastic, Didier. I have one suggestion (for now πŸ˜„ 😞 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.

                        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

                                  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...

                                      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.

                                            Axis is drawn with guide lines (construction lines). Do you have them visible ?
                                            Remember axis will only be visible if justification is "Center".

                                            @unknownuser said:

                                            Oh yes, I noticed that here too. The part of line up the wall is always exactly half the width of the wall 😲
                                            As a matter of fact, this is normal: for the script to work in 3D, I had to compute the geometric plane on which the first two segments are drawn. Thus if you click only one segment, two points aren't enough to define the plane of the base. In this case the script considers that the plane is the red-green plane. And your points have the same projection on the red-green plane. So an error occurs. Hope I'm clear, hem,hem...
                                            But I'll try to fix that if I can.
