[Plugin] Loose Geometry to Groups (Updated August 28, 2009)
-
Ohh! That makes so much sense now. I was wondering why it was working, but that explains it. But yes,it was not doing what I thought it was doing. Thanks for clearing that up Jim.

This script had a bug that I updated. I also added a counter to the status bar so that you can see the script in action. It counts the entities as it processes them so you know where it is in the process (though it is possible that the Sketchup user interface might freeze and quite showing the counter while processing large selections).
version 1.2 2009-08-28
- Fixed a major bug where the script was not working with selections.
- Fixed some internal coding that might make it slightly faster.
- Added an entity counter to the Status Bar so you can see the script working.
- Changed the Undo title from "Make groups" to "Loose to Groups" (this is the title that you see in the Edit > Undo command).
This is script is located on smustard.com at:

Hi Chris Fullmer
Great plugin, it is very usefull.
Would the plugin be possible to make components instead of groups??
-
Just edit it when the group is made and
group.to_component? -
Yup, add that line:
group.to_componentin between lines 82 and 83 - so right after this line:
group = @entities.add_group(to_group)Its near the bottom of the scipt. about 25 lines up from the bottom.

Chris, why are you splitting the geometry processing into chunks of 1000? Is it to speed up creation?
do you not risk splitting groups of loose geometry? -
Thom, yes it was an attempt to speed things up. I do not think it helped at all. I can't look at the code right now, but I was thinking that I done something to make sure I did not split up geometry......but its also possible I did not think of that

Maybe you did, I did not decipher the code that thoroughly. Was curious if you found some speed tricks.

The error isn't from this plugin. The plugin is all English, and there is nothing in its code that mess with the clock.
If you post a screenshot of the error message we might be able to determine what it is.
-
after three seconds of runing the plugin send me this message "ajusta la hora"
-
i have to erase the plugin and then upload to go wright, but after two or three times going well, the pluging crash.
i am working on the xfrog trees to make components of the leaves, and this plugin its perfect. then i work with yours similar objects, and all goes good except this bug.
thanksss -
There's nothing in the source code of this plugin that has that text or any reference to any Time objects either.
What that is, is the tooltip for the Shadow Toolbar your mouse is currently hovering over in that screenshot.
You can see how it looks like in my English SU version:
-
you have reason, the window plugin is near the sun toolbar. that´s not the bug
thanks -

It would be possible to create a function for create a layer for each group created, and a name is appended to it based on time, and automatically put each grouped object on its layer?
It would be interesting if this plugin create a new layer for each group created, and each object would be set within this layer. Some criteria that could be made for regarding the names of the layers e its groups would be: the time or simply a count of objects.
Yet another possibility is that a new layer will be created each time that we run the script and all created groups will be put in this new layer.
hai capito?
