[Plugin] (TIG) Rotate Plan View v1.1 20110316
-
@tig said:
Have you tried running it with the Ruby Console open to see if there are errors ?
Did it rotate the plan view even if it was flaky ?
Did you have a plan view set BEFORE using it ?It didn't rotate the view at all.
The ruby console was open and it returned this error again:
Rotateplanview.new 10
Error: #<NameError: (eval):54: uninitialized constant Rotateplanview>
(eval):54
As you can see I already had a plan scene saved. -
Clearly the code isn't loading properly for some reason I can't ascertain at a distance...
Here's a ready-made rb file that should work... please remove your attempt...Here' v1.1

File:
Put the file Rotateplanview.rb in the Plugins folder.***
Usage:
To use set up your Plan [Top] view, without Perspective and
in the Ruby Console type Rotateplanview.new to rotate the camera 45 degrees
clockwise, repeat to rotate it another 45 degrees etc.
The extents are zoomed after each rotation.
To do other angles provide an angle value in degrees -
e.g. Rotateplanview.new 10 rotates the view 10 degrees clockwise or
Rotateplanview.new -30 rotates the view 30 degrees counterclockwise.
When you are happy with it save the view to a new Scene tab so you can
return to it later.
Note: v1.1 includes a View Menu > 'Rotate Plan View' item and there is
also a 'Rotate Plan View' toolbar that can be activated from the
View > Toolbar menu, ***this needs the icon Rotateplanview.png in the
../Plugins/TIGtools subfolder.
If you use one of these tools this way you will get a dialog asking for
the angle, the default is +45 degrees. otherwise it works as above...

TIG, this is really a must for me! Thank you so much! This should be a default option in Sketchup.
And it really saved my life on this :
Oh and by the way Gaieus, I had read one of your post on a google forum (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sketchup/thread?tid=6300098d9b1e63b7&hl=en) before posting my question but for some reason I couldn't make my head to apply your suggestions to my situation...
I just didn't understand if this post relates to my problem or not... (I know it's scary... I scare myself very often
)Again, I wish my the world would be as effective and generous as this community...
Thanks everyone!Nicolas

Copy/paste it into a file named Rotateplanview.rb in the Plugins folder.
To use set up your Plan [Top] view, without Perspective and in the Ruby Console type Rotateplanview.new to rotate the camera 45 degrees clockwise, repeat to rotate it another 45 degrees etc. The extents are zoomed after each rotation.
To do other angles provide an angle value in degrees - e.g. Rotateplanview.new 10 rotates the view 10 degrees clockwise or Rotateplanview.new -30 rotates the view 30 degrees counterclockwise.
When you are happy with it save the view to a new Scene tab so you can return to it later. -
Thank you, TIG. This offers some interesting options for scene creation.

No problem Dave, glad I could help...

As well as a toolbar you'd need a dialog for the angle ?
-
Seems to me entering the text into the console works very nicely. And I don't have to find room for another toolbar.
Oh, and Rich, I very happy to have your assistance while your wife is ironing.

yeah....whatever is possible....

Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=313264#p313264
It includes View menu item and toolbar with dialog entry of angles - the Ruby Console version works as before for those of you not wishing clutter... The toolbar only gets made if there's a png file so that's a simple way to stop that being created if you don't want it! -
TIG, can I use it to include into a tool I'm working on. It's an easy simple rotate tool, and I'd like to include this as planview rotation when hovering over the origin.

No problem, just give some acknowledgment in the header

It seems that whenever I go to parallel projection and top view the scene is never at the angle I want it, so this plugin is really handy.
Okay, so I'm lazy, but it would be very nice to speed up workflow if the plugin did the preliminary steps automatically: set camera to parallel projection and set to top view

Great idea and very useful. Thanks TIG!!
