[Plugin] SCF PowerToolbar (09.Sep.2010)

numerobis

WOW!!! very cool! thank you!

Edson

max,

in order to install this toolbar i removed all my plugins and started moving them back carefully in order no to have double copies. in doing so i realized that another toolbar you made (ARCHILAND toolbar) has a folder called CD_ICONS, the same name of the icons folder for the powertoolbar. my question: is it ok to have both folders with the same name? will not there be some confusion between them? what should i do?

Edson

after all i did not manage to install it. the same error message as BTM reported appears to me.

oddly enough, why does the ARCHLAND toolbar installs without any problems and the POWERTOOLBAR does not?

individually, all the scrips run on my mac.

Edson, there will be a problem with 2 folders the same name as you'll be asked if you want to replace the old with the new, which you do NOT want to do! What I did was simply place the contents of the PowerToolbar CD_ICONS into the other CD_ICONS folder (or vice versa) by copy all and paste.

Max, thanks for another great addition to SU!!!!

hi Edson, the two plugins have different subfolders inside CD_ICONS (architect and power). you should have 1 cd_icons folder and inside it, the 2 subfolders.

i think the parsing errors reported can be easily fixed but i do not have a mac to check/fix - some kind master with a mac could look into it perhaps?

the quick other option is to disable the plugins which cause the error - if you can report the full text of the ruby console i will try later..

OMG, Cadfather, why can't Google hire you!? I am always amazed by how professionally thought out your tools (interface at least) are! Thank you.

CadFather

thanks Chango, though without the masters we would only have a 'nice' interface...

(..there's more cooking in the oven..)

i think it would be great (not that its not great already, but greater yet) if we could have just one SCF Toolbar & then pick and choose which ruby's we want in it, like a visual plugin bar that could be customized with any of the tools from your series of toolbars (mix and match).

any chance of this?

Amazing and cool design!
A list here of Plugs used will be useful

Tiffs don't work on the forum John. Use a file format more common to the web like jpg, or png works great.

BTM

tiff works on the forum
...but maybe only on macs...
Anyways, I had the same problem too. I no longer have the SCF powertoolbar.

Chris Fullmer

That is very interesting. I never knew that. They do not show up on PC's. Good to know,

Chris

I've never liked the tiff format and I don't know why.

BTM

I don't like it much either. Same, I don't know why. I like PNG the most

Don't know if this is still an issue for anyone, but you can find a patched version that works for me.
I changed line 4921

if (n1.between? (n2 - interval), (n2 + interval))

to

if ( n1.between?((n2 - interval), (n2 + interval)) )

.

I'm running mac os x 6, SketchUp 7 (7.1.6859)

patched cd_power_m.rb file.

Errors in [Plugin] SCF PowerToolbar v1

The errors are caused by poor programming style.

If you run SU7 Mac (with Ruby 1.8.5-p0) OR run SU7 on PC AND have updated your Ruby interpreter DLL to Ruby 1.8.5 or higher, then certain "typos" are no longer permitted by the Ruby interpreter.

` %(black)[cd_power_extension_m.rb

Line 4921:]if (n1.between? (n2 - interval), (n2 + interval))
* move first "(" just after "between?" and before "(n2", so it replaces the space character. Like:
if n1.between?((n2 - interval), (n2 + interval))`

` %(black)[cd_power_m.rb

same fix as above, .. replace Line 4921]
if (n1.between? (n2 - interval), (n2 + interval))
with:
if n1.between?((n2 - interval), (n2 + interval))`

` %(black)[cutting_windows.rb

fix Line 610:]
faces_and_heights[0.pushpull (faces_and_heights[1]), false]
* add parenthesis around pushpull method's argument list, ie:
faces_and_heights[0.pushpull( (faces_and_heights[1]), false )]`

What is happening, is that:

Ruby is getting confused as to what are method argument lists, and what are arguments (delimeted with parenthesis,) within the arguemnt list.
For best practice in later Ruby versions, all methods should have parenthesis around the whole argument list, with NO space between end of method name and the left parenthesis of it's argument list.
If a method has no args, speed up Ruby by passing an empty arg list, like so: %(darkred)[*obj*.method_name()]
