Scaled array

utiler

Ok, I have loaded the new 2.1 version...

Did a little axis directions text [see attached.] It eems that the X axis directions are back to front. I would have thought that the postive directions would have been forward and the negative direction would be backwards....

Also, rotations around the Z axis are anti-clockwise. I thought it makes sense to have postive rotations clockwise and negative rotations anticlockwise.... [see also attached]

TIG, is there any reason for this?

Eitherway, I think i have it worked out.

You need to experiment with the 'Growth Point' origin in different places ?

My Grow.rb already does this - there is an example of how to make a helical staircase in its thread...

I'm not finding it easy to find it - is it this? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20195&p=168380&hilit=+grow#p168380

It'd be best if it was in a thread by itself and not buried inside another thread.

Perhaps we could start a new thread to resurrect it - next week ?

That would be good.
Didier and Fredo had/has some old versions laying around as well. I noticed the last week several users seemed to have been downloading them instead of the new versions - despite noticed about newer versions. So I wanted to do a sweep of the plugin section and remove old versions and lock old obsolete threads. With the permission of the authors - in case they deliberately left them out there for legacy reasons.

Grow.rb is a pretty old thing - probably predates the Forum !
It's available from Didier's Depot and if you search by author [TIG] and 'Grow' there are several threads about it where I uploaded a version for convenience, there are also examples in some threads...
