[Plugin]Group in Component

sahi

Looking at the code and I still don't understand what this does.

1.selection Group
2. Translates into a component group
3. It scans all the remaining groups
4 If there are the same then replaces them with this component.

guess it's like the one in thom's selection tools - turn groups in components.. amazing what a couple a semantic turn can do..

I'm not sure if it is quite the same. It does some comparisons of edge lengths...

thomthom

If that is an update, could you update the first post please?

Yes.
Сreate an array of them, sort, compare. (Compare the array and not the length)

In the plugin still has bugs.

Here's a version of the plug

Скрипт переводит группы в компоненты. одинаковые группы заменяет на один компонент.
Вот для примера файл: смотрим статистику
Pech_SU5.zip
Состоит из групп, размером 756 кб, групп 155
Выделяем все и применяем скрипт.
Размер файла уменьшается на 500 кб

PS: Скрипт ещё не закончен, ему не хватает точности, но все же довольно таки не плохо работает.

чем он отличается от уже сушествуюшего?

Any explanation what this most recent file is? Thanks!

From Google Translate:

The script takes the group into components. The same group replaces one component.
Here's an example file: look at the statistics

Pech_SU5.zip
(290.92 KiB) Not downloaded yet

Consists of a group size of 756 kb, 155 groups
Select all and apply the script.
File size reduced to 500 kb

PS: The script is not finished yet, it lacks precision, but rather did not not work.

Thank you !

i don't know why, but with the file you put in line, i don't get the error message

it worked also on my computer: the plugin makes components out of groups if they are square boxes

From the test i made, the square boxes must have been made into a group and then duplicated, before the plugin is used; otherwise the plugin doesn't recognize them as identical and makes 2 different components

it could be possible maybe to make it work for other types of groups; by checking the distance between the corners of the bounding box, for example

i shall try

Hi Giro

I agree with you , when you tell "... must have been made into a group and then duplicated, before the plugin is used "
... but, i don't understand the meaning of "square boxes" and "other types of groups"

for me, there are only 2 possibilty; a group and non-grouped entities!

Sincerely
Chri

you are right

i mixed the 2 condition, but only one is true: ""... must have been made into a group and then duplicated, before the plugin is used "

this is very limitating, though

I was planning to use this plugin on a sketchup model imported from solidworks using SIMLAB converter

SIMLAB converts components into groups, and i was planning to use "components.rb" to convert them back to components

it doesn't work; i shall try to tweak the plugin to make it work, using the position of the bounding box corners

Hi Giro

I have made a test with parts imported from STEP files ( using Moment Of Inspiration ).

I noticed that when parts contains a lots of entities , it's common to have small differences after import

Perhaps , you have this kind of problem with your file .
... so , the plugin cound not recognize almost similar components .

interesting
It might be an explanation, but not in any case

i make a cube, grouping the faces
i duplicate it
i launch the plugin: they are both turned into instances of the same component

now, i explode them
turn again each one of them into a group
and finally i launch the plugin: they are turned into instances of 2 different components
