      Hi TIG

      I can't get the axo_scale command to work for me. My sketchup just bug splats after i hit enter. I'm using Sketchup pro 7.1....

      any ideas what might be going wrong?

      Cheers

      Joel

        Any error messages in the Ruby Console ?
        It should work in all versions of Sketchup... πŸ˜•
        How complex is your model ?
        Are you in the model's active_entities rather than inside an 'edit' context ??
        Puzzling............

          No error message. just instant bug splat.

          The model isn't complex, just a box.

                Hello TIG,

                found the script late last year. It's really great - thanks! I've been using it occasionally, and it worked fine until last night - the axo_scale command suddenly went rogue. Everything works fine until i type that command, and then nothing else works - I can't change the axo views, I can't use axo_scale_restore. and if I try to restore the scale by using ctrl-z, sketchup will encounter a bug splat. As long as i don't use that scale command, switching between views work fine.

                So what I've been doing is save file -> get axo view -> export image -> let it crash -> reopen saved file to continue modeling, but as you can imagine it's not exactly efficient. I'm just wondering if you have any ideas why this happens or have encountered this problem before?

                I'm using Version 8.0.3117 if that makes any difference.

                  Unknown problem πŸ˜•
                  Is there anything weird about your model if you zoom extents etc ?
                  Is it a long way off the origin ?
                  Have you run Model > Statistics > Fix... etc ?

                    To answer your questions...

                    1. nothing weird 😎
                    2. no...
                    3. Yes...

                    The only thing I can think of is that it's really huge... (its a model of a city)

                    Anyway, some updates... in the exact same skp model, it sometimes work and it sometimes doesn't. I've tried to discover what is it that makes it work and what makes it not work, but so far it just seems completely random. There must be something though...

                    anyway all it really does is to make me save more often which is a good thing i guess πŸ˜„

                          ok my bad...I just realised (after some years! 😳 ) that it is already supported by right clicking on a section cut and selecting "align view"

                              I have managed to install the Axo plugin detailed in your comment below, but am looking to alter the viewing angle on the view so I get more of a front view of the buildings... but still with Axo4545 properties. At the moment you see too much of the roof, its near top view on.

                              Is there anyway you know of to alter this? Or do you know anywhere I might be able to find this out?

                                  Hey TIG,

                                  I've done many many many exports with this doing architecture at uni, also loads of other people use it because of me too. I was wondering if it would be possible to make some buttons for it I can put on my toolbar which would be very useful!?

                                  Thanks again πŸ˜„

                                    Making a toolbar is relatively straightforward.
                                    Write a separate .rb file that has an initial 'require' to this tool's .rb file.
                                    Define a toolbar.
                                    Define a 'command' referring to a tool - this already seen in the console code that runs it...
                                    A 'command' can also have tooltips, status_bar_text, buttons assigned to it etc [make the button's PNG icons in a subfolder [AxoIsoPNGs?] and you path to those].
                                    Now add the 'command' to the new toolbar.
                                    Repeat as needed...
                                    As well as making buttons for the various view changers you might want to have ones for the scale/restore options...
                                    When your file auto-loads as Sketchup starts up it will make the toolbar...
                                    Here's a start...
                                    ` require 'axo+iso.rb'

                                    toolbar=UI::Toolbar.new("Axo+Iso")
                                    toolbar.restore if new_toolbar.get_last_state==TB_VISIBLE

                                    cmd1=UI::Command.new("axo3060"){axo3060()}
                                    png1="AxoIsoPNGs/axo3060.png"
                                    if File.exist?(png1)
                                    cmd1.small_icon=png1
                                    cmd1.large_icon=png1
                                    toolbar.add_item(cmd1)
                                    end
                                    ###`
                                    Repeat for each command, changing the text/png/command-name etc to suit...
                                    Get it working with one command, and then copy the working code down, edit and retest till all functions have working buttons...

                                        Yes πŸ˜’ , unless a Plugins specifically states that it is PC only, or Pro only or v8M2 only etc... then it should work with other OSs/versions...
                                        Just try it and see... it's not like you are "buying it"!

                                            If the question is, "Does it run on a MAC?" then the answer is 'Yes'.
                                            However, you need to read and understand how to activate/use the tool - explained in the download page...
