[Plugin] Architect Tools

rv1974: I've installed XP Mode and tried it out on a virtual PC with IE7 and I see the error. Seems to be an issue with IE7 and older. Will look into it next week.

@blajnov: I really have no idea why you get those errors. Though your SketchUp folder looks odd. lots of other plugins folders. (but that might not mean much..)
I can't read the language your OS is in, but is there anything in the Explorer window that says something like "Compatibility Files" when you're in the plugins folder?

At work, set your plugins, everything runs fine, no problems ...
In the evening, I will seek a solution on a home computer.

Maybe try with an empty plugin folder. Rename your old and install just Plan Tools to see if it works isolated?

I updated to IE8- no more runtime errors- thank you! (wouldn't it be neat to warn in red about this at the beginning of the thread?).
Still have problems with grid dividing. The result is random (posted the pic before).Do I have wrong expectations?
And at the end I got this:
undefined method `on_line?' for nil:NilClass

What it could mean?

I'll be looking into fixing it for IE7. I installed a virtual PC to test it on last night.

Problems are likely to be due to the errors. Can you upload your sample scene?

Cheers! I'll look at it when I get home today.

Version 1.2.1

Fixes Grid Divide bug
(There might be another bug in there. But I don't have much time for this function right now.)

Also: IE7 users should update TT_Lib2 to 2.5.1 which addresses IE7 error messages with the webdialogs.

as usual. excellent work. very professional.
thank you very much

thomthom

Important!
Update TT_Lib2 to version 2.5.2 which fixes a bug affecting repair edges.

thomthom

Important!
Update TT_Lib2 to version 2.5.3 which re-fixes a bug affecting repair edges.

dedmin

thomthom

That's because you're using a flat plan tool. If you look at my demo video, I use 3D plan data to generate the buildings. The faces are extruded up to the lines above it. The tolerance is not the extrude height - but the tolerance for closing open gaps in the lines.

I'm also having the same problem as arjun ..how can one create a 3d plan data??...Isn't there any way to automatically generated extruded faces out of such plans??

We get such data from surveyors.

From 2d plans? No - how would you expect it to work?

What are you trying to do? Make a set of generic boxes at various heights? In which case you want to look at the Random Push-Pull plugin.
Plan Tools is intended to be used to help generate volumes based on accurate real world 3d data.

amazing...i wonder what more surprises are in store from you (the great ruby wizards )

Sr thomthom.
Thanks for this plugin.
Would it be possible to cut smooth lines?
