Yep, this is a boolean tool, although still under development, as the author says.

Thanks Oscar,
This is a very cool tool, although a bit buggy, it's another work simplifier and enhancer for Sketchup
, can't wait for the improved version.
Good luck.

Gaieus

Thanks Oscar! Now it works (although indeed there are some little bugs - especially when there are coplanar faces with a union for instance)

Great development Oscar.

Tell us when V 1.0 is released!

Wow. I was JUST doing some intersect and delete stuff manually, and was thinking about how useful it would be if there was a ruby to do it for me. I go to see if I got any comments on posts here, and viola.

This only works on SU7...

Nice job oscarlok!

I'll be watching this one. This is a long-needed feature for SketchUp.

very good script to watch... this will be another milestone. i hope it will also have bollean add. where when you intersect two volumes, the unwanted volume will be erased automatically.

Gaieus

If I understand your words correctly, this is exactlywhat happens with the script (apart from the errors/bugs).

I think by addition he means:

In most of my tries it didn't work as expected.
I think it needs a lot of development. That is not to discourage the author, as I think this has great potential and should be a commercial plugin when bugfree. I would definitely pay for it.

As would I. Certainly looks like a promising tool. Fingers crossed!

Well done Oscar, This is what Should have been part of SU a long while ago...
would make for 'cutting two planes' eg: windows / doors a dead issue!!!

Looking forward to the final outcome.

Oscar,
Thank you for working on this script.
SU has been crying out for such a tool for ages.
.........
I can get it to run OK in SU 6, but please note the following:

The groups of interest (those I want to union or subtract etc) must be placed in their own seperate (temporary) file - as all other geometry is deleted !!!

Other than that - seems to works well.
If I notice anything else I'll let you know.
..........
Can you get it to run with components also ??? This would make it so much more useful.
..........
Thanks once again for all your hard work with this script
Regards

Good to know - I have only tested / played with it in (almost) empty models!

Hy! I get an error when trying to load the script. Is possible because of a vista-like patch that I have installed and changed some fonts.

Error; #<SyntaxError; C;\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins\OSCoolean.rbs;1; no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot
RBS1.0
     ^
C;\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins\OSCoolean.rbs;1; syntax error
RBS1.0
      ^

Maybe is something that can be done to make the script working in this conditions?I don't know what is the last symbol in the error message.
Below is what I see in npp.
Thanks.

this is what I see in notepad++

Why don't know what our friend Oscar shares their plugins without the available source code, he shares them compiled. Maybe some could help him in the development.

Oscar,

Thanks for a (probably) great script, but I cann't run it on my mac.
Downloading the newest version results in a OSCoolean.rbs file.
As could be expected, since the file-extension is rbs, it doesn't show up at all.
Renaming it to OSCoolean.rb results in the following error-message:

Error Loading File OSCoolean.rb
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/OSCoolean.rb:1: no .<digit> floating literal anymore; put 0 before dot
RBS1.0
^
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/OSCoolean.rb:1: parse error
RBS1.0
^
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/OSCoolean.rb:1: Invalid char `\030' in expression

I very often use the intersect function to create complex 3d shapes and so this script would be very helpfull and time-saving for me.
Any solution available ????
Thanks for the help.
