[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver
-
Thanks for your support and encourage.
I will review my script for SU 2013 at December since my schedule is busy now.
Again, thanks for your support！ -
Does this OSCoolean even work with Sketchup 8.0.16846? I put the .rbs into plugin folder, restarted Sketchup, I don't see any new tools or in the rightclick menu. How do you install this?

Hi Jo,
Your post implies that you have been able to get the OSCoolean plugin to work with SketchUp 2013. Is this correct? Good for you! I, along with the rest of the planet have been unable to use OSCoolean due to version checking code. What was your workaround? The only functionality missing from the free version of SketchUp that I need are the boolean solid features. Are you aware of any other versions that are available either as a download or for purchase?Best of luck

As far as I know it works in v8.
But because the SketchUp version check is encrypted it isn't adjustable.
I think what it's doing is comparing the version as a string and finding "13..." < "8..." [which it is] - the simple fix is to compare them as floats [to_f] then 13 > 8 !
The author could issue a quick update so v2013 and later were supported ??? -
Hello,
OSCoolean Dec 2013 version for both groups & components is uploaded in the first post - or as RBZ from the PluginStore...
And it is still free to use.
Hope this can help!
Enjoy!

Happy christmas!
Thanks -
Bravo!

Thanks!
Just wanted to say that this was not shown as an update in Plugin Store, I just saw it among the recent Plugins.
-
It IS in the Recent list in the PluginStore.
As a Windows user ensure you have IE Internet-options set to clear its cache on closing...
If old data gets stuck in IE you can find that the dilaog entries are formed from cacahed data on your PC ? -
Yes it is in the recent list but it was not shown as an update in "My Plugins" and just wanted to report.
-
Did you download/install the previous version from the PluginStore ?
If so the Update should have been signaled...
But if not 'we' have no way of knowing what you might have previously installed manually - so not notification would be expected...
-
Yes, I did.
-
don't work! as usual ..if sombody look for good boolens -> http://www.smustard.com/script/BoolTools

Hi,
I do have a problem with this plugin ...
Pls. have a look at the attached file!
I would like to subtract "sub_1" and in a second step "sub_2" from "main".
But unfortunately it does not work ...
Many thanks in advance!!!!

The problem isn't with the plugin, it's with your model.
It is very small and has hundreds of tiny segments/facets.
SketchUp's tolerance can't cope with making geometry <~1/1000th"...
Two points defining the ends of a tiny line can be deemed to be coincident and then no line gets created, and then its face can't exist etc...If you scale everything up x1000... it will then 'subtract' OK.
Afterwards scale down 0.1 and 0.01 [two steps] so it's back to it's original size... OR use the tapemeasure tool and pick two points you know should be 10mm apart and then immediately type 10mm and reply Yes to scaling etc... to rescale back...Tiny geometry can exist [like after scaling down] but it can't be made initially.

1000 thx!

Hello TIG
I would like to know that is the SketchUp's tolerance matter be solved if I scale everything up x1000, then do the boolean lastly scale everything down in the OSCoolean for every cases, please?
-
I wonder too.
But is it not possible to bump vertices position out of Sketchup's tolerance while scaling geometry ? That must affect intersections and such too, not only the factor of edges length.
Still trying to wrap my head around this..
