[Plugin] Triangulate Points

TIG

You might have made it too big by x10 but that's better than too small...
The use of a points cloud import is typically from surveyed land, so it's not expecting a 3D object - more a countoured surface.
I suggest you slice you points in something like 'half' horizontally and then merge the two surfaces together later... More like making a mold or a face-mask than a full 3D object straight off...

TIG,

I see your point. Size limitation comment was very helpull as well. Thank you, guys!

And TIG, your triangulation plugin works in SU8 beautifully. I was a dumb head...

It does not respect "Cancel" as a response to the inputbox...

TIG

It never did - even in Didier's original version!
If you cancel the layer naming dialog then it'll use layer 'nil' - e.g. 'Layer0'.
Once you run the tool it runs the processing to the end - the layer dialog only lets you determine a layer for the mesh-group if desired, with cancel canceling the layer naming but not the main tool's operation, which carries on relentlessly. Frankly the whole layer part could be omitted, it's results are all grouped and you could easily re-layer that as desired later...

Here's v1.1...
http://sketchucation.com/plugin/1110-tig_points_cloud_triangulation
It fixes an issue discovered with the encoding of the helper file "delauney3.rb" - which was found to be incompatible with SketchUp v2014 and Ruby2...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm working on Sketchup 2014, installed the latest compatible version of the extension and when trying to triangulate a point cloud it always tells me "no guide-points selected". What is that I might be doing wrong?

Same here

TIG

Are you actually selecting the guide-points before running the script ?
Remember that if they are inside a group/component you must edit it, then select them before running the script...
