[Plugin] Multi face offset

[TIG]

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.

[CadFather]

the hunch, says it may be something to do with the direction of the lines (start-end-front-back business..) - but i could not spot the pattern for sure yet

[CadFather]

Remus, couple of icons if needed..

[remus]

I dont know how to do toolbars

I'll give it a go, though, those icons are too nice to waste

[CadFather]

i think it's something along these lines.. check out Chris's loft or other tools - they will make sense

	if !file_loaded?(__FILE__) then
		toolbar = UI;;Toolbar.new "RTK"
		cmd = UI;;Command.new("Offset Multiple Faces (Remus Knowles)"){RTK.multi_face_offset}
		cmd.small_icon = "RTK/moffset_16.png"
		cmd.large_icon = "RTK/moffset_24.png"
		cmd.tooltip = "Offset Multiple Faces"
		toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
	end

Hey All!

Does anyone has this fantastic plugin working in version 8?! I installed offset.rb and the latest Multifaceoffset.rb but only the input dialogue appears and it doesn't do anything...

Thank you!

....or does anyone know how to offset multi faces in another way?!

It works fine in v8 for me [and others].
Have you tried running it with the Ruby Console open to see error messages.
It seems to be failing after the dialog, so probbaly an 'offest' error/deficiency...
You need both the Multifaceoffset.rb and the offset.rb in the main Plugins folder...

[pep75]

Hey TIG, Thanks!

I already placed the both *.rb files in the main plugins folder, just as usual...And I got the following error message in the Ruby Console but that is Chinese to me!

I don't know what's wrong?
