[Plugin] Scale and Rotate Multiple (UPDATED Dec 22, 09)
-
Thanks Pilou I'll try Random Rotation
-
Does it work with sKetchup 2015.. ?
I installed but nothing in Extensions>Chris Fullmer Tools> I have there extended views already.. Maybe issue is only the change of "plugins" folder name to "extensions"..Tomasz

This is an old toolset...However, I are concerned about your comment regarding Plugins folder versus Extensions folder !
All installed extension/plugins go into your user Plugins folder.
The renaming of the menu item from Plugins to Extensions is not important.
Any code referencing the Plugins menu auto-corrects to the Extensions menu.
This tool appears under the Extensions > Chris Fulmer Tools submenu ???https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=clf_scale_rotate_multiple gets you the RBZ...
Use the built-in Extensions > Installer tool to get it installed properly. -
Hey! Adding a non-uniform scale (1 axis only) would be cool!
But the plugin is cool anyways
-
And also adding a feature of remembering settings and ability to rotate horizontally and vertically.
If you have any plans to continue developing this great plug
-
+1 vote for doing non-uniform scale.
Let me describe the purpose. I use it for making tiled texture tiling not so noticeable. For example if I have 1 wood plank texture and I create 100 plank faces and apply texture to them - this is Not very convincing. I can add some variation by using Random Select + Scale and Rotate Multiple to rotate some of the planks 180 degrees around their center points. Now tiling is less noticeable. But with Random Select + (-1 Scale X/Scale Y/Scale XY) I can have 8 different variations from a single texture! basic+3 scale variations + 180 rotated+3 its scale variations -
Hi Chris
I have been using this plugin for years to add some realism to scenes. Just twisting the furniture a little....
I had to upgrade to Sketchup 2020, and it seems that I can no longer install this very usefull plugin.
I have tried to install via extension manager, but nothing happens
Am I'm doing something wrong - or does the plugin not support SU 2020?
Best

Not sure that it works with SU2020 but my plugin Chaos does some of the same things.

Ah thanks Pixero
Just tried it - and it seems to work.
I just have a small problem problem - if I have some chairs standing by a table, I would like to rotate them just slightly, like -1 - +1 degree, but it seems not to work - if I enter small numbers, the objects rotate quite a lot, even if I use -1 - +1.
What do I do something wrong?
Thanks
Jorgensenps. thanks for linking to the chaos plugin - I think randomness is really needed to create realistic images.
-
Jorgensen, you are doing everything right.
The plugin has a bug that rotation values are in radians instead of degrees. 1 radian is about 57.3 degrees.
I posted this issue on Chaos' plugin thread but I got no answer -
Sorry about that.
I have uploaded an updated version of Chaos.rb that hopefully have fixed the rotation problem.

Thanks a ton! I need your plugin very much

Hello
I use this plugin all the time, but now with SU 2022 it seems to be causing SU to crash on startup. It was the only non-2022 compatible plugin I had, and removing it from the plugins folder has stopped the crashing.
I see it is only marked compatible up to v2018, is it not being developed any more? Does anyone know of a good alternative if so?
thanks

Hmmm.... I just installed it in SketchUp 2022 and gave it a try. Didn't affect startup and it works as expected.
