[Plugin] Projections version 2a UPDATED

Didier Bur

Hi Pilou,

Someone asked me (a long time ago I confess) to have a global undo instead of a step by step undo. How to satisfy everybody ?

In french: on m'a demandé il y a longtemps de faire un annuler global plutôt que par étape. c'est l'un ou l'autre, c'est difficile de contenter tout le monde...

The Projection folder I have is dated 6 July 2009 and I downloaded the "Projection Patch" but I don't see any difference. What am I missing?

Nothing. The new RBS is an update of the "extrude lines tool" to have smoothed surfaces when extruding curves, arcs, and circles.
Regards,

Didier Bur

Hem hem,
Inference when there's no face behind cursor snaps to the Red-Green plane as I see
Must look into it...

Damned!
It's very more subtle to have a partial Undo than a global Undo for this sort of function (just 10 clicks than a painful remake
It's even absurd!
As the drawing of the vector is not so evident, an error is speedy arrived!
I am very disappointed

a question.
How can extrude line and get the result of this image?

TIG's extrudeEdgesByRails.rb... NOT yet on general release...

hi didier,

would it be possible to include something in the code of PROJECTIONS that would remember the state of the tool bar (open or closed) when sketchup is opened, much like you did for Layer Manager? ok, you suggested we do it but it works the same way.

thanks.

Well done Didier, I dont know if any one else uses this for dimensioning but it saves so much time. I use guides to dimension so that the leader does not go through the model. It takes hours to dimension this way and now it takes minutes.
One question I read on the sketchucation forum that this plugin lets you assign attributes to faces . I did not see this... Must be a miss print

Hi Didier,
It doesn't work at all in 7.1 for me on Windows XP.
I've read this entire thread and I can confirm that I have...
-projection_extension.rb in the Plugins folder
-All the PNGs and projection.rbs in the Projection folder inside the Plugins folder.

I can't wait to check this thing out! Such a cool set of tools!
Please let me know if there is some more recent version.
I've tried the version in your first post...
Re: [plugin] Projections version 2 UPDATED 03.07.09
and I've tried the patch in that same post.

Thanks so much!

Cancel that.
Oops, forgot to activate the Projections toolbar under View > Toolbars.
Maybe this is happening to others?
Thanks again!

Developpers note: anyone knows how to smooth surfaces ? entity.smooth=true doesn't seem to work as expected.

You must soft and smooth

Smooth only hides the edge and makes the adjacent faces be treated as one surface.
To blend the shading of the adjacent faces you must also apply soft. Soft alone does not hide the edge - it only affects the face's shading.

unfortunately, projections ceased to work for me on mac after i installed sketchup 7.1.

Hi Didier... is it my umpression (maybe an old version?) or when projecting lines on a surface... it projects in only ONE SURFACE at a time? Meaning that if I have lets say a cube... and I want to project its lines over a sphere... I will then select only ONE surface from that sphere to project the cube, but the lines of the projection will keep on that surface plane...

If thats so, I wonder if you could somehow "join" TOOLS ON SURFACE with PROJECTIONS... so lets say I have a long winding road and I want to project it over a terrain... along ALL the terrain, not only a single face of the terrain...

This is one of the best plugins ever! Your a lifesafer. Many thanks for sharing it and all the work you put in.

for that you do not need either of these plugins. good old drape (one of the sandbox tools) will do it for you easily.
