Thanks

HI - perhaps a little out of date, but this post appears active (despite last input Oct '08!)

Didier did you have an fix for RickW's error as I have got the same message?

'Error Loading File dline.rb
(eval):514: undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object'
Any pointers appreciated - i've got a pile of single lines from an OS map, representing adjacent site walls which I would like to double up and extrude (SU speak 'pull') - I figure Dbl Line will do it?

Thanks.

Hi, I've released a patch today (10.04.10)
See page 1 of the thread.
regards,

lengai

Didier thanks for snappy comeback! Still getting error message though..

Error Loading File dline.rb
(eval):514: undefined method `file_loaded?' for main:Object

I'm running SU7.1 pro on Vista in case that makes a difference?

Thanks, L

Hi,
I don't understand what's happening on your side but it works here.
So the second patch uploaded page 1 of this thread is a version without a call to the offending method "file_loaded?". It SHOULD work.

Cher Didier,

Happy to see you coming time to time into SCF. Hope you feel good. For me, several of your tools are definitively adopted!!
(Projections tools is an absolute must )
As you probably know, we have intermittent problems to reach your Ruby Library Depot

About DOUBLE LINE I would like indicate to you a problem with French version. As far, we can't draw the walls because hitting ENTER key calls nothing. So I'm using English version which works fine.

Hi Simon,

@unknownuser said:

Yes I know, we had serious problems with our server and it has moved to another computer, but it seems that this is not really the solution.
The RLD site is in complete rework, I hope that in June you'll have a brand new site where (among others) you can submit your plugin yourself, or provide a link to your blog/site, etc.

P.S.: pour la version française je ne comprend pas leproblème puisque c'est le même code avec juste les messages et menus traduits. Je regarde ça dès que possible.

Dider, you made my day!!! This makes my life much easier.

A couple of suggestions...

Can you add a "Set Defaults" button so that I can be lazy and save my preferred settings between opening/closing SketchUp?
Can you add functionality so to support switching to the pan/orbit tool and back w/o loosing the current path being drawn?

Even without... love it!

Thanks Didier great help
just downloaded your plugin, did not noticed before.

This seems such an important plugin, but there seems to be a problem with intersecting lines not being split as normal, and faces not being split as normal by the double line. SU8 on Mac. Mostly trying to use in 2D, with or without grouping, on top of an existing face.

GMthompson

is this plugin out of date, after i click on double line, i dont get a dialog box

GMthompson

tab key brings up dialog box with doubleline2.rb sorry

Hi Didier Bur, this plugin is very useful for drawing walls.
But now I have one problem with it. The dialog window only displays for the first time I used the plugin. Now it doest show at all and I cant change any parameters...
Can anyone tell me how I can fix it?

Box

The post above yours might be a clue.
TAB key.

Hello,
I have the same problem: the tab key does not bring up the dialog box for the tool.
I am on a MAC. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIG

This is one of Didier's tools that slipped through the net.
I was charged with updating them to be compatible with the newer versions of SketchUp...

This tool has never properly called its Options on TAB on MAC.
It uses TAB-press... but TAB+keyDown is not recognized by MACs.
Its code can be changed to TAB+keyUp, for PC & MAC compatibility.
BUT I'm sure it's full of other issues too
I'll look at it asap...

DSorensen

Hello TIG
Thank you for responding & looking into this. Much appreciated.

TIG

Here's v6x http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=dline2
Usage:
Draw > Double Line
[Tab] for options dialog
[Double-click] to close loop and draw
[Enter] to draw
[Esc] to quit
Draws Double-Lines / Walls - like Autocad's Autolisp "dline.lsp".
It is now compatible with PC & MAC, and suitable for v8 to >=v2015 .
Its lines are now forced 'flat' - constrained to initial point's Z.
If grouped it is uniquely named ["DLINE#n"].

General coding overhaul and update...
Now uses TAB+keyUP for Options to be compatible with MAC & PC.

Thank you TIG. Really helpful.
All best,
David

Hello Tig,
".......there seems to be a problem with intersecting lines not being split as normal, and faces not being split as normal by the double line".
Would it be possible to break up the lines as suggested by this comment quoted above....?
If possible---and with our thanks.
David
