[Plugin] Lattice Maker
-
Nice program Tig. For multiple windows, you could always select all the windows if they are on the same layer and use joint pushpull.
-
TIG,
I am quiet new to sketchup and to this site. But your plugin makes the difference. It's to me the only thing one could miss in sketchup compared to 3d max... So, thousand thanks again ...

thanks TIG so efficient

Hello Sir, Does it work with SU 8 pro ? thanks in advance

Yes - as far as I know it works exactly the same.
Most of the v7 Plugins will work in v8.
Most will also work in 'free' versions too.
Exceptions for v8 are some with () around arguments in away that v8's version of Ruby doesn't like - but may of these have been rewritten already...
Apart from the new methods in v8 and several things that have never worked properly in any version [like some 'observers'], the main outstanding issue that I know of is with 'raytest' which is now 'broken' in v8 when used with some combinations of geometry/guide-points and so it can fail - BUT it's an uncommon 'method' and -

I have downaloded the rb file and put it in the Plugins folder and when I opened SU, I didnt find it any help please ?

There are at least two 'lattice' tools...
Have you followed the instructions completely and extracted the files from the zipped set keeping the sub-folders etc...
You need to use View > Toolbars > Extrusion Tools to get a toolbar or there's a '..ToLattice' tool in the 'Extrusion Tools...' Plugins sub-menu... This makes a mesh surface and turns the edges into a lattice.The separate plugin LatticeMaker.rb and its Plugins menu item 'Lattice Maker' is another tool that makes a lattice from selected geometry...

Hi Guys,
I would like to have some tips......if possible....
I am trying to build the new Hyatt hotel in Abu dhabi (see the picture).
The shape is quite strange but, using Curviloft and the extrude tools by TIG, it is possible to create that.
I am thinking about the mesh in the surface...
the external surface looks like done by different slices then there is a pattern-mesh of rhombus.
Is it possible to use Lattice maker?
and, if yes, how can I control that?Stef.

Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=244981#p244981
Extract from the zip as directed...
Pane 'thickness' option added - useful if pane viewed from both sides and it is to be exported to a 3rd party renderer.
New EN-US/FR/ES .lingvo files added in ../Plugins/TIGtools/ folder. -
Here's a slightly tweaked ES lingvo file, by Defisto.
It will be included with any future update, but if you want it now please extract it into ../Plugins/TIGtools/ folder, to replace the original file.Aquí está un archivo lingvo-ES ligeramente modificado, por Defisto.
Será incluido con cualquier actualización futura, pero si lo quieres ahora por favor extraerlo en la carpeta ../Plugins/TIGtools/, para reemplazar el archivo original.

Here's v1.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=244981#p244981
The ES lingvo filehas been updated by Defisto.
The Zip file now also contains deBabelizer.rb. -
TIG,
I ran into a little problem while installing this. it occurs that the zip file contains a folder named TIGtools, the same name of a folder that is part of your extrusion set of tools. thus when I try to put it in my plugins folder I am asked whether I want to replace the older folder or not which of course I do not.
what is the solution for that?
-
Reply 'Yes' and it should then merge the folders [does on PC... hope it does on MAC] - you need the new files in the folder - the existing ones should be retained...

Hi Tig.
When I open double click to open one of my SU files I am getting a Loading error from latticeMaker...
It does not happen if I just open Sketchup by itself - and I think it is only with this one specific file.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

The error is telling me that on line 2 it finds an unexpected '('.
Thereafter all of the code is knacked as it's corrupted...
Because the first several lines are inside a=begin..=endcomment-block Ruby shouldn't even be reading line that at all - let alone give an error!Open the file in Notepad.exe [or equivalent plain-text editor] and see if it starts with =begin Copyright 2010 (c), TIG???
Have you edited/read the file in word-processor and saved it?
If so then that might have corrupted it.
Try re-downloading the files and replacing it with a virgin copy.
This is a weird error!

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.........
