[Plugin] Cloud
-
Success with all line endings!
Thanks Didier!
-
Encore - merci beaucoup.

Why so many versions? There are four threads for Cloud - and even this one got multiple downloads. Hard to find the "correct" one. At least the old redundant versions should be removed and untagged so they don't appear in the Plugin Index.

Didier Bur,
I'm a new and relatively inexperienced user of SU, my introduction is in the newbie forum.
First of all. I Just tried your cloud tools and it's really good. Thank you for sharing.
I'd like to pick your brains a little, do you know of any other point cloud tools or tools for manipulating the meshes created from point clouds. I would be particularly interested in a tool which could produce a best fit surface from
a number of selected meshes and perhaps report on the fit residuals i.e difference between the best fit surface and the
individual points.It would be particularly good if the tool enable a best fit planar surface, dome, pyramid etc.Thank you in advance
Brian.

Here is an updated version of my cloud script:
- Imports and exports (new!) DEM points cloud, several CSV formats supported.
- All units (import/export) supported.
- Saves id's, altitudes, or any other field as attributes or insert them as texts (new!).
- Manage layers, triangulation option.
- Doc, sample files and tutorial included.
Also downloadable at my RLDsite: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/plugin_details.php?id=678
Enjoy,
EDIT: 23.06.10: (Cloud_v71) units bug fix, especially for users of SU 7.1

Hi,
I'm not aware of a free plugin that do these kinds of thing, but here is a (payware) interesting plugin:

Rather expensive -
Dear Sir,
Please advise on possible work-flow concerning storing the "ID" tag from CSV as a component attribute.
Any/all advice will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Q

I am having problems trying to install Cloud_v8b on my mac, does this version work for mac?
-
Hi,
What kind of problem to install ? Please describe it more precisely so I can help. -
Hello Didier,
It seems Cloud and SU 2014 are not getting along.
When I open SketchUp 2014, cloud_v8b.rbs throws a Load Error.
Fixable?Error: #<SyntaxError: c:/users/george/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2014/sketchup/plugins/cloud_v8b.rbs:347: Invalid break> c:/users/george/appdata/roaming/sketchup/sketchup 2014/sketchup/plugins/cloud_v8b.rbs
Dell Precision T3400
MS Windows 8.1 32-bit
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @ 3.00GHz
4GB RAM
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 768GB -
For v2014 compatibility I suspect that it's something simple that Didier needs to fix is his RB version and recompile into the RBS...
Unfortunately, because it encrypted only Didier knows what is going on inside the code...I suggest you PM him - he needs nagging to get several of his plugins updated to be v2014 compatible.
Where he has supplied a 'packed' RB file I have offered a temporary fix using the final.to_s
->[0]
- which several users are successfully using, BUT unfortunately for his RBS versions that's NOT possible -
Having trouble installing on SU-2014. Am I missing something? Alternatives available?
Regards

My post [just before yours] already 'explains' this http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=518532#p518532
There are several tools that do some of these things...
What do you want to do, exactly? -

If you read the few previous posts you'd see that it's incompatible with v2014.
It's probably an easy fix BUT Didier ought to do it -

It's probably an easy fix BUT Didier ought to do itSadly it seems Didier hasn't the time to do it.
Might he consider handing the task to a trusted fellow developer?
It's a shame to lose such a useful tool for even a short time; more so when left to languish for months. -
Didier is too busy, but he has given me permission to update his script for him.
That new version 'v8.0bx' is available in the PluginStore.
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Cloud
It is now compatible with v2014... -
very useful, thank you very much !
v8 works for me with SU8 pro x32, windows 8.1
v8b does not appear to work with SU 2015 x64, windows 8.1
vertical (z axis) data appears to be ignored
all points are on a flat horizontal plane
X Y positions/locations render correctly
same .csv data file imports into both SU8pro (v8) and SU2015 (v8b)I don't know if it matters . . .
I notice extra characters in v8b 'points cloud options' input dialog window
the extra characters "] do not appear in v8 SU8proI'm unable to tinker with the .rbs file
-
Thanks for the report.
?
I can look to see if there are subtle errors in the code, and its conversion.
I'll update it and post again as needed...
Watch the PluginStore for announcements... -
I have found the errors and fixed them.
The newer Ruby2 handles the dropt-down parameters for the inputbox more strictly than <=v2013's Ruby, which actually forgave some sloppy coding by Didier !
The newest version in the PluginStore should now also work properly in v2014/v2015
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Cloud -
Excellent ! . . . works like a champ
Thanks so much for the attention and speedy response
And especially for filling in for Mr. Bur.The first download I used was from the pluginstore
file = Cloud_v8.0bx.rbzThe second download I used (and works w/ 2015) was from the
'download' button immediately above, in this thread.
file = Cloud_v8.0bxx.rbzThe extracted/installed extension file has the
same name for both versions.
file = cloud_v8b.rbsThanks again, for All you do.
