Did you change the contents (sizes) within that file?

Hi There,
I have seen the tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSVrbJMSSB0&feature=player_embedded and I have noticed that you can change the path to the *.csv file.
I have created a new file, located on My Desktop and changed the path - it works! but... when I change to the plugins path it doesn't.
Never mind, I like the fact that you can link own *.csv file and it can seat in my preferred location.
Thank you
Regards

I don't know this to be 100% true, but I suspect that file does not belong on your desktop, but probably within the "building_structure_tool" folder located inside your plugins folder. Give it a try and see if that corrects the problem.

Hi There,
You are right the file does not belong to the Desktop - it is my copy of the file from ...\Plugins\building_structure_tool folder to play with.
As I said - When I edit the file in the plugins folder I don't see any changes in SketchUP but...
When I edit the file on my desktop (outside the plugin folder - you can keep the copy of the file anywhere you like) and change the path in SketchUP I can see the changes (picture attached).

Path to the default_pflist.csv - now I will change to my Desktop copy and I will see my new steel, walls etc. types

tak2hata, Thanks very much for this promising set of tools. I hope you find the time to make the videos larger and maybe more complete.

I tried copying and slightly altering the wall to have a baseboard on both sides but this seems to 'break' the proper corner corrections you have made the program perform. I see all your multi-walls are one sided; do they have to be? Could the standard application methods be adapted to trimming around window or door openings?

I apologize if this is not correct area,
I need help.. I'm tasked to create two different
size CORRUGATED MULTI-PLATE pipes. The first has dia
of 9'6" IS using total 6 plates @5 gage to complete 1 ring. The
second is 16' IS using 8 plates @5 gage. It appears that your
toolkit allows making FLAT roofing products EXCELLENT! Can
it make the sections I need for circular multi plate corrugated pipe?
The holes and length/width are no issue but curved as opposed to
flat is. Please advise or point to tutorial for topic. Thanks Joe

Hi,Joe.
I think that your proposal is difficult in this plugin.
I think Chris Fullmer's Shape Bender is help you.

Hi,SU Fractal and Beginer.
The File System of ruby in sketchup(windows) can not work well with path include the original characters of the language.
I tried the many method ,but I could not find good solution.
So the csv file about profile list locate the suitable folder whitch do not include the special characters.

This is as hard as possible.

Thanks.

Today (all of a sudden) the "steel column" tool stopped working. All of the other tools appear to be working fine. I have not changed any of the scripts or files associated with this plugin for quite a while.

When I click on the steel column icon, a window for selecting member sizes does not appear.

Thanks

Hi,SUFractal.

well,I do not have a point to which it occurs.

So I want to see the ruby console on your sketchup.

Show "Ruby console" from "Window" menu.
Start Building structure tool"Steel Column".

Copy the message shown in ruby console.

And post it.

I will see and consider the problem.

Thanks

This has happen to me also. I found that if you go to the plugin menu and clear defaults it will start working again. At least on my computer that works.

I am working with Sketchup 8 pro on a mac. The .rb file and the folder are in the right place and the tool bar is there. However when I open to select a tool the tool window is blank. All the appropriate file paperer to be in the folder. Any suggestions?

andyomis

Further to my earlier post today I now have toolbar icons etc. However I cannot select next point. Help!

Hi,Everybody.
I update this "Building structure tool" to version 1.0a.

Many improves added.

Hi,andyomis.
I want to know ruby console error message in your problem.
So you open ruby console window and use Building structure tool.
There will be messages.
Copy the massge and reply here.
I will see.

Or,Install new version with RBZ file.
In SKetchup Preferences menu.Click "Install Extention".
And select RBZ file.
That need profile list file ,too.
Download each files.

Thanks.

Dear tak2hata:

Your this plugin very very useful for **BIM**,I will always support you!
But...Why to remove will general model transformation into your unique model functions?
you now allow the section type is not very rich![q01.jpg](/uploads/imported_attachments/rGQI_q01.jpg)
Or if you can tell how we can increase the section type!

Undeniable, you are doing now is a profound things for **BIM**.

THANKS AGAIN!

Hi,zfrps.
I think your sketchup was missing profile list filepath.
Profile schema keeps working well.

In this version the profile list is not included in main file.
Because installing guard from overwriting the already existed profile list you changed.

So you must set your profile list file path,if you delete your profile list with building structure tool folder.
The generating automatically from edges with "apply" button.

Please watch video I added in first thread.
Thanks.

I just installed your new plugin, but all of the boxes in the dialog window are filled in 'black' and I cannot see the values inside of them?

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. I have now loaded the new .rbz file.
When I open the BST tool options there are no profiles listed.
When I select CLASS I get the following message "how to edit_pflist.pdf is not Exists. So read from default.
When I select OK I get the following message "could not find profile list. So select your profile list file"
There is no CSV file or xml file that I can select.

When I cancel the select file dialog some default profile appear.
If I change the class then I get the same sequences of messages again.

When I look at the other tabs in the BST tool options the box backgrounds are black so I can't see anything.

Can you guide me to the csv or xml file. Thank you
