[Plugin] Scale2Face.rb
-
I have considered multiple faces and have a draft almost ready...
I don't know why 'Bryce' fails - I suspect it's because the face was originally draw flat on the Z plane and then tilts up to 'face-me' ? I'll look at it...
In passing: I've also got an early draft for a 'Stretch2Face' Ruby that takes works with groups and faces; the topmost vertices of any vertical faces in the group get moved up to snap onto the face(s) selected - that way you could easily stretch the top of a wall face up to the underside of a sloping or even curved roof ?
Thanks for the feedback, any other ideas or problems please let me know...

yes I am looking forward for the multi_face version
this script will be very efficiency while editing a big amount of components, and I think it is promising.
thank you TIG for the excellent work!
-
TIG, I am wondering if you have some process script I can have a try?
still watching this ^_^ -
Very busy - maybe next week ?

Hi All
Didier's [Project_faces_vector.rb] will put selected face on inclined plane.
Just draw a reference line vector in the direction wanted for projection path.dtr

Great Plugin btw,
Just wondered if there are any developments of a version that takes into account a sloped surface instead of a flat plane?Many thanks

Ditto.
I think this would be neat!!! -
TIG,
Tried and tested.
Works absolutely perfect! Many thanks this will be a great help.

At long last version v1.2 is now available.
Link: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=173374#p173374It Scales any Selected Component-instances/Groups up in Z to Selected Faces above them. It works for curved Surfaces, but remember that it Scales to all Selected Faces... so if you select a horizontal cylinder its whole curved Face gets Selected (which is actually Face facets) and therefore it Scales to the lower [nearer] Faces and then the upper Faces - if you want to Scale to just the lower [nearer] Faces you must first switch on Hidden Geometry and them Select just the lower Face facets required and it then Scales things just to those...
Feedback please

nice plugin, thank you

Tig it doesn't work within groups
And maybe clicking 3 points instead of face would be better solution?
Thank you (I mean it!) -
Here's a Ruby that'll do it [please change the original post's title to [Plugin]...]
. scale2face.rb
Usage:
Select face(s) & group/component-instance(s) located below face(s).Unacceptable selections produce error dialogs.
Pick 'Scale2Face' off the Plugins Menu
or type scale2face in the Ruby Console.The selected items will be
scaled upwards [in the Z] until their CLs meet the face or faces.Any intermediate faces etc are ignored; the scaling passes through them.
It has a one step un-do.
To Do: Alternative orientations to just the UP in Z.
E.G. down and in XYVersion: 1.0 20090717 First Release.
1.1 20090721 Tweaked to avoid height glitches.
1.2 20090811 Multi-face support added. Error msgs disabled.
1.3 20090819 Now works within groups/component edits. -

Thank you (I mean it!)It does work inside groups etc now !
See here for v1.3 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=173374#p173374
Easy fix ray[1]
.lastgives face if in group/component edit mode...

it would be awsome if the scaled face matched the shape/angle of the scaled to face. any plans?
