[Plugin] Extrude Edges by Rails
-
I am still trying...but not results...
When i try to select a simple line rather than a curve (just the first step before the selection of the 2 rails), it is impossible to select anything, but if i draw a curve it wors immediately.
It looks like strange!
I know....it is a stupid error by me! -
I calll the plug then click a "line" first: no problem
Sure! you have not divided it!!!
'see my previous post! 
A simple line not divided can't be selected !
-
i've even downloaded the example file and the latest .zip and i still can't get this to work. the lines change colors, i get all the dialog boxes reverse...etc, but no result.

Thank you very much Pilou!
Job Done!
I needed so much that script working well because i need to create something like that:
I have seen something similar in this topic.
I need 2 different spiral curve and then a surface that run through the 2 spirals.
Any tips? -
No problem
Draw your 2 helix curves and just one "divided line"
Call the plug, CLick the line, CLick curve rail 1, click curve rail 2, click again the line!I suggest you to draw just one module then make a group or a component then copy past it!
-
Job done!
Thank you!
Quick and without problems!
I have tried to download the plugin "curvemaker" from the website http://www.drawmetal.com but the website doesn't work. Any info about that?
I think that could be a good plugin.thanks a lot!
-
Seems their addresses are changed! (expire in april)
so you must use another plug or draw your module curves by hand
-
Right click : divide your line ?
And weld them in any case or if you have several in connection!

does everyone have me on ignore?
this is the second time i've reported this. once a version or 2 back and it has never worked. -
Can you post your own file who don't work?
-
Thank you Pilou!
-
it's a pleasure
-
even tried tig's example file from the second page of this post so i don't think its the files. maybe i'm missing some other file that's needed. like progress bar or something although i know its not that.

Hi Rocky,
Works perfect for me? Here's a snapshot of my plugin folder if you wanna see how it compares to yours?
Maybe something will standout?
-
mines bigger
thanks for the post. i don't see anything unusual.
-
hmmm! i just tried it on an old install of su6 and su7 worked fine in both. must be another plugin in my current su install screwing with it! any ideas tig?
-
There shouldn't be any clashes - everything should be 'self-contained'...
I have every plugin known to man, and then some more, so if anyone were to get a clash it'd be me
Have you tried Model Info > Statistics > Fix Problems...
Or try selecting the rail/profile curve and the using edit > cut and paste-in-place - this sometimes reforms the curve if there's glitch in the model's database - do all four in turn.
Another possible fix is to explode and immediately re-weld the curves in turn, and another fix is to group the curve, edit > copy, erase the original group, then paste-in-place and explode the replacement group back into its curve.
Sometimes curves vertices get muddled and the algorithms in the scripts fail to order them no matter how hard they try, etc...
Perhaps post the problem skp and let us all have ago too ?
-
i could post the file but this is how simple it is. draw three arcs, pick profile rail rail same profile again, then i get all the message boxes but no result!
-
have you try with a previus version of the plug?
I have not yet the last version (no color of curves picked)
and that works fine
