[Plugin] Zorro2 (beta)
-
Download it from the first post in this topic. Save it to C:\Program Files\Google\SketchUp7\Plugins folder. (thats an approximate guess of the exact path, and it might be different on your computer. But just put it in your "Plugins" folder inside your SketchUp installation folder).
Then it will be installed in SketchUp the next time you run SketchUp.
And welcome to the forum!

I am a novice to this topic and a mac user, so please bare with me...
I saved the file "thumbs.db" (not ".rb"?) into the plugins folder and nothing happened.
I then changed the file to "thumbs.rb" and when i opened SU I received the error "Invalid char `\021' in expression".
what should i change? -
Hi drew, delete that thumbs.rb file. Thats not the right one. I'm not quite sure where you got the thumbs file from.
In the first post of this topic there is a file called zorro.rb. That is the file you want to copy to your plugins folder. So delete the thumbs.db and put the zorro.rb file into plugins, and then start SketchUp and you should be good to go,

I have got a file, where Zorro crashes constantly.
I created the geometry in a bigger file and tried to slice it. it crashed. I copied the geometry to a new SU file. it crashed again.in the end I had to redraw the whole thing in a new file. and everything worked fine.
any idea why that is?
I attached the file for you to experiment...

thanks the program is really good, shame that I have the same problem, I can not make a slice cut (bug splat) when the model is a litle bit heavy, anyways thanks and keep on.
-
I can't say for sure why users are getting crashes. I am not sure if it is something I can fix or if it is a SketchUp bug. My only suggestion is to save before you use the plugin. Also, try to work with simpler scenes (save components to a separate SKP files and work with them)
-
After a few hours I figure it out how to fix the bug splat, I have a heavy model, every time that I started using the slice tool my model crashed up, I tryed exploding the model, chainging to newer sketch up, etc etc etc. At the end I took all the model and grouped up whith out the cuting plane, after I slice it, and was the solution for the problem, now it doesn't matter how heavy is the file, the plug in ,work fine. sorry for my bad english, I hope is useful for you.
-
Well, definitely useful and I hope I will remember next time I try to use it on a similarly complex model.
Thanks for the heads-up!

This as got to be one of the best plugs I've come across. Awesome job with this one....

I guess I created a small bug just before I released the plugin that I did not release was there. i will post a fixed version later today. Sorry! I will also try to create a tutorial later today if I have time. For those of you who do not want to wait, just change line 266 to read:
Sketchup.active_model.start_operation("Zorro")I belive this will fix the problem but I don't have time to fully test right now.

Chimbalo—
I had the same experience as you. SU crashed when I tried to place the section plane inside the component and slice. I had to place the section plane from OUTSIDE the component and then it works like a charm.
Thanks for figuring that one out, and thanks for the Ruby!!
Best,
Jim
