[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver
-
Thank you very much for this brilliant rb. Would you mind to share us the brief idea of the mechanism of this plugin? I want to do a union thing, but find it quite hard to do it without any guide.
Best regards

For those who are saying nothing happens, well, you have to make each object a group/component. I was having the same problems like some of you until i made each object separate from eachother. When you place them together you choose one object then right click to the plugin and choose "cut" and depending of which object you chose you'll get the "negative" or "positive" cut. Although, I think there is a bug when you place an object in a severe angle inside, it tends to cut almost all of the opposite object leaving expose in the air only the hole that the other object traced. I wonder if the creator of this plugin is still working on the new release.

looks great !
tried both OSCoolean.rbs and OSCoolean.rb but neither worked...
I'm using SU6 under MacOS X 10.5 OS.
any working version for mac ?
thanks a lot -
hi,
just out of curiosity how does the OSCoolean differ from the commercial booltools plugin? -
In theory nothing but in practice that is an another story
-
For the information of te "rest of the World", Oscarlok updated the plugin (see the first post as of October 2010) for SU 8.
He just forgot to add a new post or bump the topic otherwise.

In your Oct release, only three icons are displayed. And the last two, cut and intersect perform the same function.
Thanks for your work with this plugin.

Hello Ken,
I am sorry for that! I have changed it to the New OCT version. The previous one is still Sept version.
Thanks Ken

Does it work in SU 7.1 as well?
-
-
thanks oscarlok, just collecting reasons to upgrade, you know
-
I never could get the version for Sketchup7 to work??
-
Bumping this just in case someone knows a solution to making the older version work in SU7?
-
Someone said that disable SketchyPhysics permits to use OSCoolean in V7 (?)
-
I do not have Sketchyphysics. Must be some other tool. I will try to run it with the console on, capture and post back.

Here's what I get trying to Intersect a simple cylinder group and a cube group which I set overlapping or coincident in the same location :
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method
entities' for #<Sketchup::ComponentInstance:0x6775c40>> (eval):573:inget_grocom'
(eval):570:ineach' (eval):570:inget_grocom'

(eval):823
(eval):823:in `call' -

(eval):823:in `call'ComponentInstancedoesn't have an entities method - you need to access the definition.
There are some plugins that adds.entitiestoComponentInstanceand I've seen some other plugins that also made the assuption taht this method existed. -
Hi, ThomThom:
Thanks for your quick response.
Unfortunately, you're talking way over my head
I mean, I see what you're writing but I don't know what I'm reading
What means 'grocom' ??

You did note that this is for V7? I am not ready for V8 just yet.
