TIG, i really appreciate all your plugins.... THANK U!!!!!
can you or somebody upload a tutorial for this so that i could apply this to my school project???
Thank u n advance......

There are several examples in the thread[s]...
There are some movie tutorials for various plugins in the pipeline, but I can't say when they might be going public... -
hehe... THANK U i am looking forward to watch that video soon..
Thank u again TIG for giving us those plugins.....
hopefully someday all the fuction in 3dsmax would be available in sketchup...thank u again TIG.........

Is it possible to delete in one go the original linear path used for lattice making??

Lattice Maker does NOT leave a linear path - it uses the selected mesh faces to make the 'panes' so the 'path' is consumed ?
EEbyRailsToLattice does leave the Profile and Rail Curves... BUT on completion asks if you want to delete them -on a Yes they go too ??
Please explain yourself differently...

TIG...I've uploaded images to clear my question
-
Ah! You mean 'coplanar' edges - not easy removed because of the inner face. Because the LatticeMaker is for 3D meshes to Lattices each 'pane' is made separately.
I suggest you get my 'Latticeizer' - that is intended for 2D forms and it does remove the original center-lines if specified. You draw the form and group it, then 'Latticeize' it - you should then get the results you want without center-lines... -

Bagatelo
I have replied in the other thread you linked to - I think perhaps you mean Latticeizer NOT LatticeMaker ?

I am sorry having traded the place where it I should respond.
Please note the presentation that I have made in the attached file. That's exactly what I need. In some cases, I do not use handles in aluminum bar. I use ordinary handles. So I do not pull over 3cm from top face to bottom. In some cases, I use different spaces for 0.5cm, as requested by the woodworker or architect that I work. Thank you for your attention.

Thank you, TIG for all you do.
Although you are in the UK, I still would like to wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and to all you "Sketchers" out there. I lift my pint of (alcohol-free) nog to you, mates.
Peace

I am truly in love with this piece of code!

I need it, i want it.
Thank you

SOLVED
After more persistent searching of the forums, I have finally found the answer so please ignore my post below.
So simple..the rails and profiles must be identical to produce square "Holes" using Lattice Maker.
Sorry for not finding that before posting..Hello..I have searched the forums but cannot find a solution to my blundering attempts to create this:-
Using EEbyRails and following the instructions (also have tried every combination of those)and then Lattice Maker, the result i always get id this:-
No matter what I try, I cannot create the "Square" holes, only triangular ones.
If I remove the triangular lines prior to using Lattice Maker, the faces disappear making Lattice Maker not function.Any help would be greatly appreciated ..
Thanks.. -
TIG I have a request for this fantastic tool.
I have been using lattice maker on vonoroi tessellations (as you know, thanks again for the help), and since they have irregular shapes the offsets produce crossing edges in some cases.
I have noticed when using Fredo's tools on surface that offsets can be 'simplified' to eliminate the crossing edges. Is there any chance that you could incorporate this feature into lattice maker? That would be fantastic.
Thanks again,

Maybe you can use Clean Up by Thomthom ?

That could be one option, but, I suspect that won't work.
The offsets edges produced by lattice maker do not intersect one another when they cross. For some reason you have to tell SU to intersect to break the edges at the crossing. This generates a additional face, which must then be intersected with the edges to form the 'pane'.
This really creates a lot of work. And though I would love to use lattice maker, I found it was faster and cleaner to use ToS offset on each cell, before JPP-ing. However, if lattice maker had a simplify offset feature I would have saved a ton of time.
Do you think clean up would work for that? I haven't used it before.

Can you post a 3D SU example model of your Voronoï problem of intersection ?
(save as V6) -

(save as V6)Sure, I will post it this weekend. Just at work now
