[Plugin] Eclate_Deplace (fragmentation-exploded view)

trimguy66

I am hoping someone can help me.
I have downloaded the Eclate_Deplace RB file, and dropped it in to my plugin folder,Which I have attached a screen shot of, but the tool is not showing up within SU.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank You,
Wayne

So are you saying that if you select a collection of components/groups and right click on them, you aren't finding Eclate_Deplace in the Context menu?

Time to launch SU...

Thank you gentlemen, found it, I was looking in Plugins.

This is a great tool, and a great forum.

Thanks again!!

Anyone??? Or is it just me...
Can't get this to work at all for some reason, just crashes every time I try to use it.
Any help or suggestions very gladly received

I just downloaded and installed it and it works for me on SU2013. Perhaps you have some other plugin that is causing the conflict. Do you have the Vray or Podium plugins? You might try disabling other plugins and see if this one will run for you.

Thanks DaveR, will try disabling some plugins and see. Hadn't thought of that - DOH!

SketchyPhysics is also a big pertubator!

Hi All,
Have tried to disable everything except Eclate Deplace and it STILL crashes? Anyone got any thoughts. Im stumped and seeing as I use this plugin almost daily am pulling my hair out.
Any help greatly appreciated as always....
Not sure what other plugins need to run with Eclate Deplace so not sure if there is anythign that has to be on to allow it to work.
Thanks

Perhaps there is something wrong with the model, or does it happen with all?

samyell77

Yes - tried to draw 3 boxes in a new model and run the plugin and it crashed?
Stumped....

Box

Just tested and it's working fine here on 7,8 and 13.

Have you changed anything recently, graphic card/driver, windows version/update , any new hardware..etc etc... you might need to track back to what you did before it started to crash.

samyell77

Installed a new graphics card recently but a colleague of mine has the same machine and had the same card installed at the same time and no problems.
Have removed all plugins from my plugins folder and installed only eclate deplace and still getting crashes every time... Arrrrrgh!
Going to have to make exploded diagrams manually for now.....

Box

Have you tried changing the opengl settings, sometimes just turning hardware acceleration off or on fixes things and it can often be switched back after.

samyell77

Thanks Box - tried and no joy Im afraid. Think its an issue with a graphics card. Going to sort it next week some time (hopefully)...
Cheers
Sam

Have found a work around for this but still not got to the bottom of it. SU crashes pretty consistently if I run Eclate Deplace and have the outliner window open? So have been making sure I save, collapse the outliner window, open radial move first and then run eclate deplace. This seems to avoid the crashes but have no idea why...
