hahah fortunately for me i got THAT far.... i select the face and just click away an nothing happens, maybe i will try to re-download it
[edit] redownloaded and reinstalled with same issue as before.... this is too weird... i can select rectangle, then choose Protrude... the dialogue box pops up, i hit divide and nothing.... weird...
It's my fault - it doesn't work on a Mac and I don't have a Mac to try it on. I'm sure I could get it to work. Anyone want to buy me a Mac?
-
i'll model you one if that helps.
-
haha i wont buy you one Jim, but youre more than welcome to test on mine! let me know if i can help!
-
So goto the Protrude thread and ask your problem !
Maybe it's because you have a Mac
Damned crossing post
-
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.

This thread cannot be in page 11 man
-
Ummm, what?
-
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)

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

(I am in meters unity)I suppose that is the problem
I have also nothing when I input inch unity
surely measures are not accorded and i don't want have an headache for make conversion
for have the good measures
so I take meter unity for simplify my lifeDraw a simple box (7,6,4) select it and input numbers as shown
If you don't obtain something like this there is a problem
click image for zoom
-
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.

This is made with my old Latticeizer script, 3cm frames and default pane with some PudhPull on the panes [with existing lines NOT kept] afterwards...

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.

This plug is always very funny

Pilou, you crack me up! Great stuff as always.
Chris
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.
