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

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.

thomthom

Could you add a Last Updated timestamp to your original post? Makes it easier to catch any updates when you browse the plugins.

Is there something I can do to fix this or do I need to uninstall it? It still works but is aggravating !

CadFather

Thom, you mean in the subject, or just the post?

@ humpmetwice, i don't think this has to do with SCF-PB - take out all your plugins then install PB, if it works then you know..

At least the subject - since that appears when you browse the forum and also in Jim's index.

CadFather

yes of course.. done.

I've edited the download page - with a warning about 'rogue files' inside the zip!
CADfather, can you please sort out this issue, which can break some other tools and cause other problems - the older files [ sketchup.rb and extensions.rb] supplied in the zip should NEVER be put into the Plugins folder. In all recent versions of Sketchup newer versions of those files come pre-installed in the Tools folder, so having these duplicates just messes things up - sometimes so subtly it causes hours of searching to find what's up!

CadFather

sure, i'll post an update very soon

Hay all fearless Ruby Scripters!
First I want to thank you all for the wonderfull job your doing !
now,
Using SCF powerbar with Metric Meters template is O.k?
since I'v been having trouble with the Push-Pull along normals tool.
I set 6m as a value and it Pulls 0.15m...

Thanks ! ALOT!
