[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver
-
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..
-
It will usually work.
BUT remember that SketchUp also has issues in the other direction - so both very tiny and very gigantic sizes can cause issues...In my recent Pro only 'CutNfill' tool I used a scale-up/intersect/scale-down, but only if the processed object's bounds.diagonal are smaller that a specific size [of the top of my head I think it's 100.m].
That way I never make it so big that I get issues in the opposite direction from 'tiny'...Because your tool is used on a wide variety of forms... perhaps you could have a scale factor of x1000 for very tiny objects, x100 for medium size, x10 for large and x1 for overly large...

For me, it was working for SU8 but not 2013.
I removed some plugins from the SU2013 plugin folder and identified sketchyphysics as not compatible with OsCoolean.
It may happens with other plugins too because of badly named variables usually. -
SketchyPhysics and some other 'rogue' plugins are know to cause issues, because they mess with native classes/methods ill-advisedly... sometimes messing with the way some Group methods work, others have Observers that can cause issues too...
Then an innocent third-party plugin can fail or even cause SketchUp to BugSplat [it's usually a 'rogue' observer that splats!].There's a rogue / quarantine list...
-
So make some special Plugins folders with only sketchyphisics, Windowizer,... inside!
Just careful to not lost the original Plugins folder!

Hi, does your extension work in SketchUp 2014? I have successfully installed it, added buttons to my toolbar but I can't use it in any way. I tried making my objects to be groups and components, I tried selecting them first and tried clicking on plugin's button first. Nothing ever happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I would greatly appreciate your help! -
In addition to my previous comment: in case that this plugin does not work with SketchUp 2014, does anybody know where can I download SketchUp 2013? It is no longer hosted on official downloads page
Thanks -
All versions are available to download http://www.sketchup.com/download/all

If you PM the author with some useful data, then he might be able to easily update his plugin to be v2014 compatible.
Unfortunately you decided to give none of us any clue at all as to the errors you encountered.
Naturally these might be helpful when formulating a fix...
This particular plugin is encrypted as rbs, so we can't see what it's doing internally...
But most Plugins can be easily updated and re-encrypted to suit all SketchUp versions... -

Unfortunately that page does not have a link for SketchUp Make 2013. Only the pro version. However I already found a way to download 2013 version and I will be using it for now.
However, it would be amazing if this great plugin worked for 2014 version. Many thanks to developer for his hard work!EDIT: Looks like I can't open model built in SketchUp 2014 in 2013 version
I will wait and hope that the developer releases update to his plugin soon. Thanks -
Hey Tig, sorry for not including any errors. I am newbie in SketchUp and I did not see any error messages. The tool just does nothing
Is there a way to generate a log of errors? I will be more than happy to help get this working for 2014 version!EDIT: Nothing shows up in ruby console. No errors there. Not sure where else to look

You can save as back to earlier versions.
Open the file in 2014, go save as and select the earlier version in the drop down. -
Thanks Box, this worked like a charm!
-
A quick video just to confirm that it isn't working correctly in 2014, what it does and that it's not throwing errors.

I got in touch with Oscar last December to warn him that this tool would be incompatible with a future version of SketchUp - his encrypted RBS is based on an ANSI encoded file rather than a UTF8-without-BOM one - there might also be some other masked syntax issues !
But he knows how to fix it, although he replied and said that he wouldn't do it until the new version of SketchUp [v2014] appeared this spring - as he was busy with other things...
Why not PM him - he needs a nudge...
I don't think it'd be that hard to make cross-version compatible - mainly changing the encoding of his RB version and re-encrypting it for the RBS -
I sent him a PM yesterday politely asking if he would be able to update his plugin to work with SketchUp 2014.
-
I'm also using 2014 and would love this tool to work with it.
kmlkrk - Have you heard any reply from him yet? -
very good plugin but it's not compatible with sketchy physic.
-
Hey Oscar, we all love your plugin but are dying to get an update to the new 2014 sketchup. Thanks again for a wonderful plugin
-
I just stumbled over this great plugin.
A version for SketchUp 2014 would be very handy.
Thanks in advance!
