[REQ] con. point at intersection
-
i ran a search and couldnt find anything, but is there a pluggin that could place a construction point at the intersection of a line and a face as per my attached pick, i imagine it would be simple enough to code, can anyone help me out?
-
So, you select a bunch of lines and faces, and you want a construction point if the edges intersects the face? But not if the edge stops at the face?
-
hey lets get crazy... why not
, but desperatly need those construction points at the intersection

Ah, seem that we worked in parallel TIG. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20262
My version is slightly different in that it only places CPoints if the edges intersects the faces. No projection.
-
Now spoilt for choice...
Mine adds all selected lines' AND clines' intersection cpoints onto selected faces' planes [note that mine undoes in one step]...
thomthom's adds selected lines' cpoints onto selected faces and ignores off-face intersections...
Make your choice...

Urrrh! that was my intention. But I just realised I forgot to perform that check. Currently it will place points if the edges intersects the face's plane. I'll sort that out.

Thank you both for the lightning quick response, u made me a happy sketchupper... was mulling in my hatred for skecthup when i posted that request
-
What do you actually need the points for?
-
needed to make a linear loft type surface, just found a tutorial on how to do it in max with splines, but for my purposes i think this would work better than in max with splines.
i made a linear shell from 2 stiched curves then extracted the lines which i then needed to intesect with faces to create a decent mesh (sketchup hates decent meshes
) needed to points to create a surface with a plugin from the archi-land toolbar "surface from points" (or something).
