[Plugin] 2D Tools

__phil

This plugin crashes SU when used on an M1 Mac.

These issues are known with M1 MACs - it's fine on other OSs and PCs.
I'm working with a skilled MAC Ruby-scripter and I think we'll have a working solution this week, so parts are already fixed !

I would like to ask for help with a small change to the 2D Fillet code.
I do a little woodworking (cabinet) and would like some tools to make my job easier. I tried to change the code myself, but my knowledge in programming is very insufficient). So I am asking you to help me. Also, let me say up front that I know of other chamfering and rounding tools, but they don't work for me for various reasons. They do not create a solid arc or curve, and the chamfer function has no methods to set different chamfer distances.
Now about the code. I would like to have a simple 3D Fillet/Chemfer. The tool should work with objects (group or component) regardless of nesting level. I added the code to the onMouseMove method and now it works.

	
def onMouseMove(flags, x, y, view)
		###
		ph = view.pick_helper
		ph.do_pick(x,y)
		@poss_edge = ph.picked_edge
		###
		
		center_ip = Sketchup;;InputPoint.new
		center_ip.pick(view, x, y)
		view.model.active_path = center_ip.instance_path.valid? ? center_ip.instance_path ; nil
		
		if @state==0
			if @alt ### chamfer
..................

But here there is a problem) How to remove residual geometry? Look at the picture. Am I understanding this correctly? I need to find the residual face and push it to the parallel face. right? Or maybe there are other ways to do it differently?

I've enjoyed using 2D tools for years, especially LINE STYLE.
Recently my Line Style tool doesnt work correctly. All it does is hide lines.
In the past, you would right-click out in space beyond the model, and you'd get a context menu. (width, color, etc) That doesn't happen anymore. There's no menu.
Other tools in the set seem to work OK. Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue?

Down on the status bar, I see:

2D Line Style: 1.0 Continuous_____Black. Right-Click(empty space)= Settings-Dialog. ,Enter>/Double-Click=End.

But when I right click in empty space, there's no menu that pops up.

What version of SketchUp?

I just tested it in SketchUp 2023 and it works fine.

I starting to rewrite it to be compatible with newer SketchUps...
It was never published,
In the newer version - tTry the tapping the TAB key instead of right-clicking in open-space.
Changes to SketchUp messed with right-clicking !
Try the latest version from the PluginStore...
But I've PM'd my v8 RBZ to you and Dave R for your info...

Tab doesn't do anything.
What I get when right clicking in empty space (with nothing selected) is a context menu that has:

Invert Selection
Make Component
Make Group

YES! Now TAB works for the menu!
Right click gives me the three items listed previously.
THANK YOU FOR THIS AND FOR YOUR AWESOME SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY!

@TIG
There's an annoying bug in fillet tool:
When the tool has to extend existing edges it creates new colinear overlapping
ones above existing. Ideally ONE not broken edge is expected. Any chance to fix it please?
Also, is it possible to grant an option to NOT create Cpoints at fillet centers at all?
P.S. Hereby is skp file. try to fillet the edges on the left with radius of 10.
Thanks

Hello ! Thank you very much for this really promising plugin and for all the others !
I'm on an 2019 i7 mbp and only the line is working with 7.7 version, rectangle and others make the wheel spins forever and I must force quit... Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any idea ?
Thank you sir,
have a nice day

TIG

@alskaro
What is your actual OS ?
Is there any output in the Ruby Console ?
There are some issues with some of the tools in newer MAC OSs.
A fix has not yet been published.

@TIG any possibility to fix the overlapping lines bug please (described on 7 Dec 23, 3 posts above)? Or at least any comment? Thank you in advance

The plugin creates new (extended) edges without deleting the old (shorter) ones.
Some additional extra steps (Edge inspector) are needed every time the fillet tool was used which is ridiculous. Its important because it creates overlapping profiles if this faulty linework will serve as paths in Profile Builder.

@rv1974

There's several things wrong with the 2Dtoolset in the latest SketchUp versions, but I've attached a corrected RB file, which you should substitute in the 2Dtools subfolder and restart SketchUp to sync.
It will break the 'signing' but provided your Extension Manager's Loading Policy is set to 'Unrestricted' it will load OK...
It fixes the duplicated lines issue you've reported...
