[Plugin] Blend ver 1.12.
-
Olishea, glad to hear sublend works on mac
(I was just going to ask someone to try it on mac). Thank's for testing and feedback and happy blendings 
Ofcourse it's not my achievement , it's just because ruby is cross platform. -
Now the implementation of interaction is in progress (it is not yet stable so ver 1.8 will appear a little bit later). I think that interaction ability will solve (more or less) the inside out problem. I mean it will be easier to fix it by moving, rotating and/or flipping one of the initial faces and the result mesh or set of intermediate faces/curves will refresh automatically. This will be the step towards path processing also.

Come on, Kirill, this is too much for me today.

Mr Krillshot....fantastic work and dedication to continually improving your script. Can't wait to see v. 1.8! Thanks so much!

Mr Krillshot
Great pluging, however, I am having trouble duplicating all the video you are showing. Would it be possible to also attach the Sketchup file so I can try out the same file as you are using. This way I would know if the problems I am having are with my computer or the plugin.
Again thanks for the pluging

This is nuts; really. I can't beleive how fast you are developing this plugin, Mr Kirill!!!

interactive tests file
File with the model, that appears in the demo video of ver. 1.8.
Unfortunately interactivity enabled only in run-time (untill skp file is not closed) and I don't know yet how to save interaction data to skp file (maybe it's not possible at all). So if you want to play with initial faces, then it is necessary to make new blended object.Ver. 1.8. does not support interaction with curves yet, because it is difficult to get the curve object from the Sketchup.active_model... The point is that active_model contains no curves (curve is just a 'conceptual entity' "all circles, arcs, and arbitrary curves are really just edges that are bound together in sequence"). So it's necessary to perform some tricky things to obtain the certain curve, that you need.
Edges also behave strange: moving of the edge or moving of the edge vertex does not envoke onChangeEntity event handler. Only if you change some properties of the edge (for example layer or smoothness), then modify event rises and onChangeEntity envokes.[flash=425,344:2o85cxyz]http://www.youtube.com/v/ZgOUZR3Z2xE&hl=ru&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"[/flash:2o85cxyz]
So ver. 1.8. supports interaction only between 2 faces and face+construction point. I'm not sure if I can solve myself edge and curve problems.

It's amazing the way you progress. I hardly have time to test the current version, and you're already publishing the next version.......
Thanks a lot for sharing.

Fantastic, I say !!!
With best regards

Have you thought about adding a path function to this script?
Yes, I think about it almost every day (and some times night
too). I want to add a path processing very much,Yes I have been there too
sometimes I have even dreamed of the answer, but forgot to write it down just before I woke up. Then later I would get a deja vú moment where the solution I eventually arrived at was the same as what I had dreamed of.I like the path idea.
-
Here's the idea.....
See the attached video example and finished result.
Copy an object a given distance, scale it by 0.6 and rotate it 40 degrees AND DIVIDE BY 4.Can't be too hard couldn't it?

That's cool
It is a step to complex path+profile modeling tool, I guess. Looks like, the final destination is to set some 'key' positions along the path and apply some transformations (move, rotate, scale) to the profile at each 'key' position. Intermediate steps transformations (between key positions) will be interpolated between 'key' transformations.
Some 3d modelling programms have already implemented similar tools. It would be great to implement such tool for Sketchup too. Don't know how much time it may take. -
Fantastic Plugin, Thanks.

Now, let's draw icebergs...or coloured curtains easily....
Colors effects are awsome
Thanks Kirill -
Thanks again.

Now the work on path processing feature is in progress. For now it works stable only when the path curve is at XY plane. So I'm going to publish new plugin 'pathface.rb', when it will be possible to follow the path curve regardless of it's orientation (it will take about several days, I think).

Fantastic..

incredible plugins, thank you very much

even v1.7 and the lower works well, 1.8, 1.9 gives a notice like this "Error Loading File sublend.rb
undefined superclass `EntityObserver'" HELP -
