[Plugin] Multi face offset

rv1974

Windowizer generates window components. This is just plain offset.

A "window component" is a pure abstraction. With glass inset =0 it makes the same plain offset+ additional options (i.e. materials assignment, edit and eraze in the future)

Does the faces have to be on the same plane?

remus

No, the faces can be on any plane. It wont work on curvy things, though.

As for windowizer doing the same thing, it probably can, and i think Fred06's offset on surface could do it as well, i just fancied writing it for a bit of practice.

Thanks, but does not work.
Using sketchup 6 and 7, windowsxp SP3 in Spanish
If you have a solution, thank you

remus

Could you open the ruby console (window->ruby console), run the script and post whatever comes up in the console?

most unusual, i'll have a look in to it and see if i can find out whats going on.

Remus - do you have RickW's [free from Smustard] 'offset.rb' and elcorto doesn't ?

DIEGO-RODRIGUEZ

Thanks Tig, I had no offset.rb.
Now works fine

remus

I havent got it, but im guessing its included in some other script. Thanks for the pointer by the way, i'll add it to the 1st post.

It's the simple things that are often the most complicated !

And seems Protrude by Jim Foltz makes the same and more!

remus

A veritable Smörgåsbord of repeated functionality

@Remus
Thx for this new curious name

Pixero

Smörgåsbord is a swedish word.

DIEGO-RODRIGUEZ

Be possible. After applying offset. be selected the new drawing?
then able to apply, for example, multiple Push Pull

sorry for my English. Thank you

DIEGO-RODRIGUEZ

"Pilou" You're right, thank you very much

Protrude above can make that , just offset= 0 after use it and enable Height = that you want
Only Protrude keep the selection Protrude is a very funny plug!

For Push Pull multiple in general you can also use Joint Push Pull by Fredo6 or Projection2 by Didier Bur
But both lost the selection!

Hi Remus, first thanks for the useful script - i found out the offset may end reversed at times

remus

So it does. I dont suppose youve found what causes it? Whatever it is, i suspect it is a bug in offset.rb, it would be good to be able to pass it on to rickw, though.
