[Plugin] Zorro2 (beta)
-
Did you try to scale the model up before using the plugin?
-
Here is my solution for getting no bugsplat whatsoever and with all my models : triangulating all the faces.
To do this the quickest way, I export the model as a 3DS model whith these options ticked to keep a good UV mapping :
- Export Full hierarchy
- Export two-sided faces
- Export Texture Maps
- Favor Preserving Texture Coordinates
Then I import it back whith merge coplanar faces unticked (very important because it would suppress all triangulation done while exporting !!!)
To get rid of all the unnecessary edges visually, I use ThomThom's CleanUp plugin with once more merge coplanar faces unticked but whith option smooth edge by angle raised to 20%.
Then I use Zorro2 and cut and cut and cut and never get any bugsplat anymore........
Hope this help!
I would like to thank a million times all the ruby coders for their unvaluable work! -
The 'free hand' zorro cut tool works well for me, but I get an instant bugsplat when I try to use the section plane to cut the model - even if it's a simple 6 sided box.
Even tried babak's workflow above but am experiencing the same problem. I'm on SUpro 2013.
Anyone experiencing the same thing?

YOU ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING.

thanks so much!

may i ask why the plugin result on a bugsplat when i try to cut it by zorro?? is there anybody can help me to this? hope for your help
thank you -
Zorro isn't invincible.
You can try and remove parts of the model you don't need before running it.
Also don't try to cut very small complex geometry link plants because this can result in tiny geometry that fails, as well as taking ages to do...
Give Zorro a chance and it will work...
How complex is what you are hoping to cut ?
Have you firstly deleted hidden entities, purged the model and fixed-problems etc... -
wa~~~~~~~~THANK YOU!, will definitely give this awesome plugin a try!

I am trying to install the plugin for Zorro2 on my Mac book OSX for Sketchup 2013, but when I click on the download link it keeps showing in my 'Downloads' folder as a plain text file. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance! -
Hi.
I guess it happened to others too, but this plugin makes crash my sketchup when used in large models ( >20Mo) sketchup freezes with the message " Making unique components and deleting groups and components behind section plane"
how can I help sketchup to slice the model ? If I explode all components, will it change anything ?thanks
-
Work on a copy.
Try exploding everything back into raw geometry.
Also use Model Info > Statistics > 'Purge Unused'
and 'Fix Problems'It may help, but you might still have issues...
There are limits !

-
Marcie, what do you mean you tried it and nothing happens. How did you try downloading it? What did you do after downloading it?

Hi people,
I get the message "Unzip error: could not unzip archive" when trying to install zorro2 from the pluginstore inside SU2014. In SU2013 it works fine. I tried just installing the .rb file in the plugin folder manually but the plugin doesn't show up in SU2014 after a restart. Anyone else getting this error?
Regards,
Niels

What Plugins folder are you expecting it to be in ?
It should be in the Users one ?
If you download the RBZ file from the PluginStore, then use the native Preferences > Extensions > Install... button, what happens ?
The Unzip error shows that the RBZ couldn't be unzipped using the API RBZ installer, which is in essence the one used by that button

Hi TIG,
I've put the file in the \program files\Sketchup\Sketchup 2014\plugins folder. I downloaded the file as .rb not rbz, from the first post of this thread. Because I don't have it as a rbz file it doesn't show up when I try to install it using preferences>extensions>install.
-
There is an issue installing Zorro2 from Pluginstore. Zorro1 will install.
-
Yep,the same screen I get

Wrong folder. It should be in the User (your username)/App Data/SketchUp 2014/... Plugins folder.

It wouldn't show with Install Extension, would it?
Move it to the right location and all should be fine.

Ok installed it in the right directory and it's working again. Thanks very much!
