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.

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()]

I get this error after installing the power toolbar. Did I do something wrong, is there something else I need?

CadFather

ok, wrong lines have been changed - hope it still works.
