Again, TIG:
Thank you for your talents and contributions.

Dear TIG,

You appear to be using version 1.0 of offset.rb. There is a later version, V2.1 (see the attached). Is it okay to use the later version with your scripts?

Regards,
Bob

Don't know how I'm still using that old one !
Finger on the pulse, and all that....
Anyway... it doesn't matter, v1 or v2.1 both work fine when I've tested...
I'll package the new version with any future updates...
Meanwhile, if users already have the newer version then I recommend that they don't overwrite it with the older zipped one until the zipped update catches up...
Sorry for any confusion...

Here's a new version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
EEbyRailsToLattice has been updated with the latest version of 'offset.rb' and trapped to rescue its 'fails', also some glitches with display of selected curves etc is fixed...

I have reissued a new version again today http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
The single change is a temporarily fixed offset.rb [awaiting its author's input, RickW ]...
After I updated from offset.rb v1 to v2.1 in my zipped set earlier today, I discovered that it had then broken RickW's own Windowizer4.rb .
None of this affects my tools - they only need the Face::offset() method !
In this tweaked version I have included the older Array::offset() AND the newer Array::offsetPoints() methods found in offset.rb v1 AND v2.1 respectively; and so it should now work with Windowizer4.rb and also any tools that might rely on the newer version...

Here's another version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
An updated FR lingvo for EEbyRailsToLattice - a compilation of Pilou and Didier's suggestions/corrections
[note that "accents" are not used in text within the inputbox dialogs to avoid problems...]
Thanks...

Here is an updated zipped set http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
EEbyRailsToLattice is updated to give back faces of panes the color too and the panes' 'face.offset' method no longer relies on 3rd party offset.rb - it has been incorporated into the class-methods and made more robust.

Works fine now

TO Tig ,I can't say anymore

Here is an updated set.
EEbyRailsToLattice now also has a 'Diagonals' option for the Lines...
Reverse the order of picking the rails to swap the diagonals' direction.
Make two diagonal groups overlaid to get a 'diamond mesh' etc...
The lingvo files have be updated to match.

EEbyRailsToLattice has been updated to fix glitches with the Line work lattices' grouping - which affected all types, but was only noticed when the 'diagonal' option was added...

Dear TIG,

Does one still need offset.rb? I notice that it is missing from the zipped folder.

Regards,
Bob

No, as was explained in earlier release notes, to avoid the problems with newer versions of offset's incompatibility with Windowizer etc I changed the way EEbyRailsToLattice makes its lattice offsets by building the method into the code in a slightly different way...
You can use any version of offset.rb you want - it is no longer needed by my tools...

Thanks TIG.
great work

Dear TIG,

I understand from what you wrote that windowizer.rb has problems with offset.rb V2.1. Is that correct? I have overwritten my copy of V1.0 and I have windowizer.rb installed. Could you post a copy of V1.0 please?

Thanks,
Bob

watkins

Dear TIG,

Forget that last request. I've just checked and I have V3.0 of windowizer.rb. I downloaded it again and it had offset.rb V1.0 in the folder, so no worries.

Regards,
Bob

Here's an updated zipped set - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
All of the EEbyRailsToLattice and EEbyEdges lingvo files have been updated [incorrect/missing strings fixed], their ES versions were also updated by Defisto.
