[Plugin] Projections version 2a UPDATED
-
Hi,
I've installed the Plugin Store and downloaded this plugin through it in Sketchup 2013. However, I'm not getting the toolbar and so I can't use it. I've tried manually installing the plugin but still no results. The plugin appears correctly installed under the Plugin Store's plugin manager. When I right-click on Sketchup and select "Toolbars", there's one named "Projections", but checking it or un-cheking it doesn't produce any results. No toolbars appear or disappear. Help, please! -
Logically you might look in Preferences > Extensions and check that this tool is 'ticked'...
Then OK and the Toolbar etc should become available...
BUT it is NOT an extension!
If the plugin is correctly installed via the RBZ the tool bar 'Projections' should be available ?
Do you have FULL security permissions to add files to the v2013 Plugins folder ??
There's a tutorial in the menu above... -
I did not see an Instruction pdf available either with my download or on this page. maybe you can point me in the right direction?

Any update for Sketchup 2014. . . . .
It's not working. . . . . .Thanks,
-
Didier, this toolset's author, had made it an encrypted, so simple fixes are not easy...
Didier seems preoccupied with other new things right now...But after some effort, I got/posted an updated version [v2a] now in the PluginStore, which is v2014 compatible [with one single simple typo fixed, which earler versions forgave but Ruby2 chokes on !]

With Sketchup 2015 64 bit, some of these tools don't work as they used to in 2013, Extrude lines and Faces along vector both only work when I enter values, but not by just clicking the start and end points.

Any messages in Ruby Console ?
I only updated the code for Didier to allow it to load into Ruby 2 ? -
Push/Pull Faces along Vector:

Thanks, that's very helpful.
Didier's code [ill-advisedly] messes with Float, adding an 'isEqual' method.
In v2015 the Length class is changed, so the Float messing on is not reflected as it was !
I'll look at a fix... -
I corrected the issue between Didier's handling of Float & Length in v2015
The update is in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=projections -
That was fast! Thanks, now it works again.

You report was just the kind I like - you explained the problem clearly - so a cause and a fix was pretty obvious...
Much better than the, "It doesn't work..." reports
-
THanks TIG sir . . . . .
waiting for 2014 and 2015 update . . . .

Is it just me, or the tool menu does not show up in 2015? I'm trying to add a shortcut to one of the tools, but I can't find the plugin in the list of commands.
-
There was never a 'Projections' submenu in the Tool menu
Only a 'Projections' Toolbar.However, please replace this .rb in the Plugins folder, and tell me if it does what you desire.
After a SketchUp restart you should now get a Tools 'Projections' submenu, which is equivalent to its Toolbar items...If so, and it's good, AND there is more user support, I'll update the RBZ with it...
-
Yep, that works. Thanks!!

No longer works with Sketchup Pro 2018, it's unfortunate.

What makes you think that it no longer works in v2018 ?
I just installed its RBZ from the PluginStore... and it works just fine.The last update to this file was for v2015 compatibility, but it will still work in newer versions too...
Because it's a pretty old plugin, then it not been 'signed'.
But in newer SketchUp versions you simply have to set the Extension Loading Policy to 'Unrestricted' for it to load and run. -
As much for me, it was because I used the French translation that it did not work. I reinstalled the latest version and copied the file fr_projection.rbs in the folder projection and I also copied the file fr_projection_extension.rb in the folder plugins, because I'm curious. Well that's not very orthodox, I agree. I have part of the plugin in french and part in english! but it works properly.
