[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Dec 2013) for SU 8 up free ver

pilou

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:in get_grocom'
(eval):570:in each' (eval):570:in get_grocom'
(eval):588:in Preset' (eval):713:in Intersect'
(eval):823
(eval):823:in `call'

ComponentInstance doesn't have an entities method - you need to access the definition.
There are some plugins that adds .entities to ComponentInstance and 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' ??

Sorry - it was intended for Oscar.

Just method name.

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

I love this plugin but wasn't able to get it to work with SU 7.1, I know its for v-8 but was hoping someone had a fix!

and what is the problem to not load the V8 in another folder and save as V7.skp ?

Nothing I was just wondering if it was a fix for v7.1 is all.

Thanks for this, very excited. I just upgraded to 8 for this, but the plugin isn't showing up. Are there any dependencies or known conflicts that could be at fault?

My plugins folder only has the folders Cadspan, JPP_Dir_15, LIBFREDO6_Dir_34, Ocean, TIGtools, TOS_Dir_16 plus Utilities, plus the rb files deBabelizer, extrubeEdgesby(various things), jointpushpull, LibFredo6, LibTraductor, loop_subdiv, ocean_extension, su2stl, ZLoader_OnSurface and utilities, if that for some reason makes it obvious to anyone. (Obv there's also OSCoolean.) I'm on 7 Pro.

Thank you very much, whether or not you can point out what's wrong!

Do you have the Oscar folder inside your plugins folder in 8?
or try to unzip the OSCoolean again into your plugins folder in 8, please.

Yeah, I downloaded and unzipped the folder and the file into Plugins several times. Mucho wierd.

My Sketchup 8 plugins folder only has the folders Oscar, Cadspan, JPP_Dir_15, LIBFREDO6_Dir_34, Ocean, TIGtools, TOS_Dir_16 plus Utilities, plus the rb files OSCoolean, deBabelizer, extrubeEdgesby(various things), jointpushpull, LibFredo6, LibTraductor, loop_subdiv, ocean_extension, su2stl, ZLoader_OnSurface and utilities, if that for some reason makes it obvious to anyone.

Maybe you need enable OSCoolean toolbar? If I recall right, OSCoolean toolbar is not automatically enabled.
btw great plugin, thanks for update.

Does this OSCoolean boolean plug-in require the toolbar mentioned above? I cannot find it and it is not mentioned in the first post as a requirement.

I am not even SEEING the plug-in as an option in SU8. I downloaded SU8 SPECIFICALLY to let me use this plug-in. This is extremely frustrating. I am NOT a new SU user; I have SU7 with various plug-ins.

I'm using Win7 and my SU8 plugins folder has the Oscar folder and OSCoolean.rbs file. The latter is dated 2nd Oct 2010, downloaded today 21DEC10.

What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else encountered this? (Yes, I am restarting SU after installing plug-in).

Has anyone taken this current version made for SU8 and used it in SU7 with any success?

Bob James

Crashes SU8 every time for me.
