      Ressurecting the dead - or at leas the long forgotten!

      But I've updated this script, and its a big enough update that I thought I'd post and let people know. Two main things are that it now works inside of groups and components and does not cause bug splats! (that was a big bug I never noticed until about 3 weeks ago, oops!). Also, the script remembers your settings between uses (but not between SketchUp sessions).

      So if you have an old copy (include clf_greeble.rb or an old clf_greeble2.rb) please delete them and install this one.

      UPDATE August 31, 2009
      2.20:: 2009-08-31

      • Fixed a MAJOR bug that would cuase SketchUp to crash when greeble was used inside a group or component. So yes, you can now safely use Greeble inside a group or component!

      • Changed some code that should theoretically speed things up ever so slightly....frankly I don't think it helped.

      • Changed some code to make it run smarter, skip certain methods if they were not being executed.

      • Fixed some code that could cause problems when faces would overlap.
        2.21:: 2009-08-31

      • Now user input settings are rembered between script uses.

              It was probably sunken to page 11 of the Ruby Forum. He must have been surprised how that comes although this is such a great plugin
              😉

              Roy, there IS a reason; this forum is quite active and not only due to the published plugins but also to the technical discussions between the scripters.

              Here is a better (cleaner) list of the plugins published on this forum so far (not totally proof though)
              http://forums.sketchucation.com/search.php?keywords=Plugin&terms=all&author=&sc=1&sf=titleonly&sr=topics&sk=s&sd=a&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search

              Note that this list spans over 21 pages itself so something inevitably must be below page 10.

              Gai...

                SketchUp 6.4.265 on Windows XP

                As a newbie, apparently I'm missing something that a more experienced modeler would take for granted.

                I downloaded Greeble 2, along with Progress Bar and Offset. Put them in the Plug-ins folder. After a re-start, "Chris Fullmer Tools" appears in Plug-ins menu.

                I select a grouped rectangular box with Juniper vegetation texture. I want to add some roughness to the surface. So I select the Greeble tool and enter some numbers. After clicking OK, nothing happens. I also trying selecting just one surface, but no go.

                I was assuming the tool would draw a 2D grid with my +/- dimensions, then pull each piece up to a random height. If I could get some kind of response, I could then play with the numbers to get the look I want : pointy pyramids may do the trick.

                Do I need to draw a grid before selecting the tool? Is there an auto grid tool? Should I greeble one face at a time? What do I need to do before invoking the Greeble tool?

                Thanks for covering my ignorance with your intelligence. 😄

                  Hi jhearcht, it should work. But it does require a grid be drawn first. It will extrude each face, so if you just have one large face, it can extrude that face only. If you have a thousand faces, it then extrudes all those faces.

                  As a note, this plugin is apparently broken with SketchUp version 8.0 for now. I need to look into a fix for it. (but it should be working with version 6.x like you have).

                  You could upload your model and I'll see if I can play with it and see if there is some odd error if that would help,

                  Chris

                      Sketchup 7 windows7 pro 64

                      Hi all, I am in need of some advice re the Greeble plugin. I seem to follow the workflow in the tutorials/videos but with no effect. Not a ripple. Have tried on planes/grids/boxes/spheres.

                      Any advice appreciated.

                      thanks in advance, Craig

                          Hi, I tried again to use the greeble with the numbers in your parameters. Some success. It ceases to work at all when I input something into the offset parameters. I have tried in on a box and a sphere with the same results.

                          I have the offset.rb installed in the plugins folder along with the progressbar.rb and the greeble

                          any ideas as to where I am going wrong.

                            Please do download the file and see if it is possible to solve my problem. The file was created in the latest version of Sketchup.

                                Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.

                                One day I will no more bore you, because I'm trying to learn Ruby Script. Thanks.

                                    PS - what is your artistic style called, with all the vibrant colors and nonsensical shapes? I thought I remembered you using a term once that I found very interesting.
