[Plugin] Axo + Iso View v1.2 20101117
-
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?
-
oh yeah...

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

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_VISIBLEcmd1=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... -
Is this plugin available for Mac?

Yes
, 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"! -
Sorry, I have a question about this plugin, run on MacOS? I need help. Please. Thanks.
-
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... -
This just saved my life! AutoCAD couldn't even do this right! TY so much!
-
Where is the link or has it gone? Do you need to pay to download this plugin? Thanks

The download link is on the first page of the thread http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=252273#p252273 which is normal for most plugins...
You don't HAVE to pay to download, but if you want to make a donation feel free...If you can't see any attachments, then it's almost certainly because you are breaking the 'Terms of Service' you agreed to when becoming a member of SCF...
SCF IS free to use [although you can choose to donate to scripters etc, and also you could pay a modest SCF Premium Membership fee and get many freebies etc... check out that link].
To fund SCF there are discreet adverts on the pages - all interesting - relating to SketchUp, CAD, Rendering, 3dPrinting etc - the revenue from these pays to keep the site running - hosting a complex site like this costs money - although moderators etc give their time freely, the Premium Members' payments and the Shop sales etc, the bulk of the money has to come from somewhere - that's the ad-revenue...
If you have an AdBlock app running on your browser it will prevent ads displaying, therefore you are depriving SCF of that revenue, and in response no attachments are shown in your browser...
It is a simple matter to adjust your AdBlock app to make exceptions for pages on sketchucation.com AND buysellads.com [our ad generator].
Once you have done that and you reload the page the ads will show and all attachments - images, videos, download links for plugins etc - will become available to you.
Rarely members have reported issues with their FireWall software doing secondary ad-blocking - in that case add another exception to that too...
Members find the ads informative and useful anyway, no one is forcing you to read them or buy anything - but having them displayed so that our advertisers can at least know you have seen their offering, is a small price to pay for all of the benefits you will get by complying with your TofS promises... -
hellooo i made a copy for the folder in plugins but it doesnt appear on sketchup
p.s: i made a srestart for sketchup and it doesnt appear too
:// -
Hi, as stated in the very first post, first line, you have to put the .rb file (and not a folder) directly in the plugins folder and then restart SU.
-
Hey I'm new to sketchup and have been trying to get this 'axo' plug in to work. But no luck. I keep getting this from the ruby console:
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method `axo3060' for main:Object>
(eval)What is the deal I followed the directions to a -T I think?
Please help. -
If you have correctly installed the .rb file into your Plugins folder you will get the commands available to you in the Ruby Console: you type
axo3060+ <enter> and it runs...
So this error message suggests that you have not installed it correctly
To find your Plugins folder type [or copy+paste] this line + <enter> in the Ruby Console:
Sketchup.fins_support_file('Plugins')
This returns the path to the folder that ought to contain your plugin files.
It may be hidden and you'll then need to set your MAC to let you see Library folder-paths.
If it is the HD Lib path [most likely on v8] then you may need to reset its Security Permissions to Full Read & Read, so you have unlimited access to add files etc...
So, now put the .rb file in there...
OR if you get the .RBZ archived version of the script from the PluginsStore page then you can AutoInstall that using the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button...
OR if you install the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store' toolset you can search/browse through 800+ Plugins [including this one] and then AutoInstall any selected plugin from within SketchUp itself... -
Hello Everybody,
actual I have the requirement, to create a "cavalier" perspective.
I hope that someone can tell me, how to create this view in SU.
Many thanks!

Hello *,
it would be very nice to get some information concerning my request to create the ""cavalier" perspective.
- Is it impossible to create this view with SU?
- Or would it be possible to extend the existing AXO-ISO Plugin from TIG?
- Or did I ask the question in the wrong section of this forum?
- Or are there any other ideas to create this special perspective?
I would appreciate any comments
Best Regards
Automation

I don't think that a Cavalier type of view is possible in SketchUp - at least not as a camera setting.
It needs to have distorted geometry, which then would only work from one vantage point...
My Plugin is therefore NOT extensible...
You can ask a question in a related plugin's thread; however, if you want wider public awareness consider starting a new thread in Plugins with a Request for something - but nothing is going to appear instantly
...
But if it's a "how-do-I-do-this-by-hand" then post a message in the General forum - some skilled users might not frequent the Plugins side... Someone might have a brilliant workaround that I can't envisage...

Hi TIG!
many thanks for your answer. So I have to find another solution.
Best Regards
Automation
