Just a preview of one of the GUI gizmos I'm working on.

Also thinking of adding more wrappers to create windows entirely from Ruby - buttons, lists, dropdowns etc...

input_test.rb

This approach will win.

thomthom · 14 Nov 2010, 15:04

When I made Vertex Tools I had a similar system for the toolbar system. A set of classes that acted as wrappers for the controls. The main classes where Container and Control - they would have most of the code. From there it was easier to create sub-classes like toolbars and buttons. I then had a very nice abstract layer where I created a toolbar class - where I added Button objects.
Complex systems though - but I hope to have a base system by the new year.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the program crashing at 49% when exporting as a vrml. I've imported my bmp image, sized, indexed points and generated the mesh. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeff

Are you referring to Bitmap to Mesh?

Yes, he is.

Important bugfix!

Fixed again repair broken edges.

TT, I got this message while overwriting the old library (meaning that the file I marked is write-protected). When I wanted to overwrite anyway, it wanted a password so I could not.

Is it an issue if I do not update that particular file?

It's not write protected on my computer. Nor in the zip file.

I have no idea what this can be. I've never seen Windows ask for that. Are you using some third party applications to manage files?
What did you use to extract the files? Did you extract directly over the files?
What if you delete, then extract?

Gaieus · 10 Feb 2011, 15:34

It's simply Win XP "extract (or open?) all files" when I enter the zip archive (yes, I was simply overwriting the existing install). Here is the dialog that asks for the password:

I then tried to delete the file but it said omething was using it. It was obviously SU as when I closed it, I could delete it and install the library correctly. This made me think however so I tried to reinstall it (now as it had been installed the file again) and with the SU window closed, it allowed me to.

So maybe a line in the front post to "close SU before installing" would be useful (people need to restart SU anyway).

Dave R · 10 Feb 2011, 23:13

Csaba, I got a similar message about that .so file when I extracted the ZIP file to the Plugins folder. SketchUp was open. So I closed SketchUp and tried again. It worked fine then. I wonder if that file is write protected when SU is open and the file is in use.

thomthom · 11 Feb 2011, 07:31

I sounds like SketchUp keeps a lock on the file when it's loaded. Probably because it's binary code instead of interpreted Ruby.

Sweet thanks-

Version 2.5.4
This update requires that you also update:

Edge Tools ( 2.0.3 )
Plan Tools ( 1.2.2 )
CleanUp ( 3.1.4 )

Rich O Brien · 17 Jun 2011, 18:01

Will TT_Lib ever be superseded by this? I know there are plugins that still require TT_Lib but it'd be nice to have all yours captured under TT_Lib2

thomthom · 17 Jun 2011, 18:03

Selection Toys is the only one that requires TT_Lib version 1.
Until Selection Toys is rewritten, into version 3, TT_Lib can not be made obsolete.

The other plugins use TT_Lib 2 however.

bitslapped · 23 Jun 2011, 03:19

I do love this plugin and use it a lot in complex models.

What I would love is for the 'smooth angle' feature to have an 'ignore materials' checkbox, so that coplanar faces of different materials do not merge.
E.g I have an organic surface with paths, lawn and garden beds on it. It would be great if the plugin smoothed the surface but left the edges between surface finishes.

Thanks ThomThom, love your work.
