[Plugin] Center of Gravity

DSG2k

I had checked for any evidence of Vista stupidity given past experience with having to look at the Virtual Store. But I've tried v. 1.4 and it works great!

Thank you so much for your incredible plugins. I'm using them for sci-fi mesh analysis and they are invaluable.

Seems to work fine on PC but on Mac it falls over... I WILL find a solution...

I'll try it on an sterile Mac i.e. just on it's own, see what happens, give me five minutes

Same error when v1.4 + debabelizer are the only rubies installed

TIG,

It's not all Macs that have problems, though. It works just fine on mine. Could it be another plugin or something?

TIG

As I suspected
I'll sleep on it... and see how I can devise a work around in my sleep...
PC works fine - come on Mac's what's up with you !!!
Is it a particular version of Mac OS and the Ruby version that they have ???

driven

well, mine are
both running SU 7.1
both running OSX 10.5.8
both running Ruby version 1.8.6
MacBookPro is a fresh SU instal with just v1.4 bits
iMac is littered with rubies but very few clashes are left roaming free, it is also running rubygems, but that doesn't seem to effect any thing else in SU

both give same error

Must be something wrong with my Mac, then.

yeh, you sure it's not a PC....

Very funny. I have both and I know the difference.

Here's proof that it works on my Mac.

works ok on my Mac but TIG Tools folder replaced existing one so extrusion toolbar icons disappeared. I see missing icons on Dave's screenshot also.

Most mysterious. I have tried with no other plugins or tools in the respective folders and using CofG version 1.4 I still get:-

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `db' for CofGravity;Class>
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;156;in `do_calculation'
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb;816

"Merge" the folders so that the other existing files are kept - just overwrite any files for that specific tool...

Thanks for noticing that Wind-Borne and thank you TIG for the fix.

I have translated the plugin to Spanish language, bottom i put de link for download. I see that other Mac's users have the plugin working fine, to me no works, i use Sketchup 7.1 in Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and the last version of the plugin CofG_1.4, i have tried run sketchup with CofG in the plugins folder only, and don't works, SU read the plugin, i see the plugin (in spanish) in plugins Menu but don't works.

When i run the plugin this message appears in Ruby Console:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method db' for CofGravity:Class> /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb:156:in do_calculation'
/Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/CofGravity.rb:816

We have been PMing about this - the Mac db glitch is known and driven and I are trying to track it down.

Please PM me the CofG ES lingvo file and I'll publish it with acknowledgment of your input - hopefully with a fix for this Mac/Ruby glitch...

TIG

Here's 1.5
I've reworked the code to suit all Macs as well as PC.
A ES lingvo file has been added - by Oxer.

Congratulations TIG! It does indeed wor=k on my machine now - what was the issue?

I don't wish to sound as if I am complaining but it seems rather slow to come to a result even for a very simple block shape.

Yes, for the iMac....

and also a yes for the Mac book...
