[Plugin] ExtrudeTools - Full Set
-
This extra button is a mystery as it only affects a few Mac users ???
Any Mac-users got any ideas ???
-
TIG,
This tool set has been a blessing. Have followed it closely since you first posted them as individual plugins. Must say it's a tremendous example scripting prowess that have moved the goal posts in terms of SU capabilities. Congrats!
Do you think it us possible to implement a coloured highlight feature which indicates rail selection from profile selection? Along the lines of Whaats SDS Crease tool. It would mimic what's seen in each icon. It's not really an issue more a graphical aid.
-
TIG, in addition to your toolbar showing a blank button, I also get a blank button on my Mac with Jim Folz's MakeOrthoViews.rb I have no idea what causes it though. Maybe if you look at Jim's script it will give you a clue?
Edit - just realised Jim's script is encrypted!

It would be possible to color profiles and rails differently rather than select them with the normal highlighting - but what colors would you like ? I could get it to trace over them with the 'draw' command while the tool is active with any standard colors you like ? I tend to avoid RGB as they are axial how about profile=cyan, rail1=magenta, rail2=dark_cyan and profile2=dark_magenta - it'll vary across tools as some have different selection needs etc - also the last item picked doesn't always highlight well - but that's the challenge !
-
Thanks for the reply. I think your suggestion of colours is the way to go. And will compliment the tool quite well. I see how it can't be applied to certain tools but still think it'll be well received

Here's another update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=217663#p217663
The picked curves/faces etc are now highlighted and 'color-coded' [this depends on the tool***]
Typically they are:Profile[Face] =Cyan
Rail/Rail1 = Magenta
Rail2 = DarkVioletRed
MeldingProfile[Face] = DarkCyan
OtherFace = Orange
***See each Tools notes...

Is there a way to organize plugins into sub-menus?
-
A bit off topic, but yes.
See 'organizer' available on Smustard and also my earlier ideas drifting around where you could create your sub-menus in an early loading ruby [#.rb] and add your scripts to any one by giving them one of its global variables e.g. $submenu1 for the menu rather than "Plugins"...
I use it to group my plugins asConstruction[Guide] Tools
2D Tools
3D Shape Tools - Simple
3D Shape Tools - Complex
2D Manipulation Tools
3D Manipulation Tools
Camera/Image Tools
Text/Dims Tools
Terrain Tools
Other Tools
$submenu0 to $submenu9... -

I knew that Extrude Edges by Loft ==Extruder des arêtes par 'Loft'could have been put much better [my franglais ain't so good... !]...
ButExtruder des arêtes par profilage entre courbesis not half as snappy ???
The Spanish disponiendo is quite near 'to loft' - when taken in the 'naval architecture' sense of 'to lay-out a hull of a ship' - which is where I believe 'loft' comes from ?
Anyway whatever fits is best...
Enjoy...
