[Plugin] follow me rotate

free agent

hey wow awsome plugin, thanx for posting, is there any way to reverse the triangulation of the faces, i noticed that once smoothed the and as you rotate the form it gets very jaggy at the edges and you have to go in there with the flip edge tool to smooth it out... any way around this within the coding?

We have some very gifted people here, only surpassed by their generosity. Thank you (all the ruby programmers, both free and commercial) so much for SU so much than it was.

When I am using the plug in I get a bug splat... don`t know why

Could It be because I am using a 64 bit system,

Thanks,

You can test this by removing your plugins one by one and constntly restarting SU after each. A little tedious if you have a lot.

Nice work!

I am having difficulties running this script. Inside the latest Far.rar I find:

inputbox.rb -- for the interface
FollowAndRotate_en.rbs -- the English version of the script
FollowAndRotate_cn.rbs -- the Chinese version of the script
far.skp -- example output

I extract inputbox.rb and FollowAndRorate_en.rbs in the Sketchup Plugins folder and execute sketchup.exe. Going to the Plugins menu there is nothing to be found...

In the Ruby console, I type "load 'FollowAndRotate_en.rbs'" and get this:

load "FollowAndRotate_en.rbs"
Error; #<SyntaxError; (eval);87;in `load'; C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/FollowAndRotate_en.rbs;1; no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot
RBS1.0
     ^
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/FollowAndRotate_en.rbs;1; syntax error
RBS1.0
      ^
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/FollowAndRotate_en.rbs;1; Invalid char `\020' in expression>
(eval);87

can you help me,...?

To load a rbs file,you can try to use Sketchup.load

And for the little problem of orientation?

Thanks for answering.
I tried the suggesting and now I get :

@unknownuser said:

Sketchup.load "FollowAndRotate.rbs"
false

... and there is still nothing in the "Plugins" menu.
How did all the others get it working ?

herodes

Sorry for bumping this thread.
Please help.

Herodes:

I think that you don´t install it well
Put the three files in your plugin folder

inputbox.rb
FollowAndRotate_en.rbs
FollowAndRotate_cn.rbs

Perhaps this fix your problem.

@Daniel S: Thanks it did require that the FollowAndRotate_cn.rbs is in the same folder. That solved it thanks a lot.

It is rather weird that that both scripts are required.

So useful, really impressive

It could be also a good idea to display a kind of counter
in order to avoid any operation during the calculation
( let's see some Didier 's Plugins like terrain reshaper )

----------------80% achieved..

hi bianhai
what is that side panel thing you are using in your video?

bianhai

side panel is SUTOOL2009

thomthom

Really cool plugin. Though, there's some odd triangulation some times. Looks like half of it ends up smooth, but the other half of the geometry ends up with sharp jagged triangulation.
