[Plugin] Eclate_Deplace (fragmentation-exploded view)

Box

Yes I was using a cube of grouped faces, and at first I was getting a bug spat every time, now it is random.
I have rebooted and added updates and a few other bits and pieces since then, sorry that's not a very useful bit of diagnostic information but I've been doing too many things at once.

So to put it simply, It does work for me but it is unstable and I have yet to work out what, if any, conditions cause the bug splat.

Two versions of the plugin that can be corrected bug
I've written a 3.0.2 version and also a rewritten version by the genius Fredo. Thanks Fredo

Sorry I can not insert in the original post ...

The limitation of this plugin is that it does not take into account the size of groups or components.
It moves only the elements from their center. Perhaps a future version

About
Facegroup by Gavvy (seems there a is little problem with this facegroup plugin) Thomthom is look it! and seems found the error

And I have found another one who works
Make_components by Matt666 at Crai Ruby depot!

And a third solution by Tig! (face selected ---> groups)
Put this in the Ruby console!

m=Sketchup.active_model;n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|n.add_group(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}

Normal : a simple cube must be composed of a 6 faces themself a group!!!
(so for a cube: 6 faces who are each a group) !
in this image i have selected one face for you show that is a group
(each face is a group)
Select them then call the plug!

If you want transform automatically each 6 faces of a simple cube on 6 groups maybe exist a plug
(or any faces selected)
Facegroup by Gavvy (seems there a little problem with this facegroup plugin) Thomthom is look it!
And I have found another one who works
Make_components by Matt666 at Crai Ruby depot!

Ps Menu of "Radial Move" or "Eclate_displace" Appear by Right Click on the selection of the groups or components!

How do you use the ChrisP_RadialMove_EN.rb plugin? can anyone show an example?

pilou

No problem

pilou

I don't see your images
Verify that your object is composed of groups or components!!!

A simple cube grouped will not works if each face is not a group!!!

yvan79

Hi pilou...thanks for the instructions but i have an error of saying 'No effective transformation - nothing has been created'.

yvan79

sorry for the image error....it's there now....

pilou

Ok I see it now
Your result is normal
you have Enter 0 as X,Y,Z Translation !!!
Try with 10 as X,Y,Z Translation
and make a Zoom extend if translation is biggest between groups for see result

pilou

Ps : And better than an image, post your SKP file

yvan79

Ok...now i understand it. thank you very much, pilou....
