[Plugin] Voxelize - Updated 2011-04-04

If you open up Window>>Ruby Console, before running the plugin, the debug information will tell you how many cubes were created, among other things. The other things are the amount of time each step takes to run. This is probably more helpful to me than to you but remember, this is still in beta .

You are kidding me right? I mean you must kid me!! I did this by hand last week!!! I was totally not aware of your script and i made a voxelized soldier for a 3d Print project (3mm or 1/600 scale infantry) by overlaying a 3d-warehouse model with a matrix of 30x30x30 voxel and then deleting everything that was not used... (like in Michelangelos "I chipped off everything that did not look like a lion") Man i will so much use this next time!!!! Thanks alot!

I just checked out some of the methods of components (instance and definition) and there is a " bounds" method (not found in the api documentation...)

Yes it is.

bounds() is defined in class Drawingelement

Group, ComponentDefinition, ComponentInstance are all subclasses of Drawingelement, so they inherit their superclass' instance methods.

At the console:
Sketchup::Group.superclass()

Sketchup::Drawingelement

Sketchup::Drawingelement.superclass()

Sketchup::Entity

.. so they also have all Sketchup::Entity instance methods. And Sketchup::Entity is a subclass of Object so they have all of those instance methods, and module Kernel is mixed into Object, so they will have of those methods.

Hi,

How can I count the the boxes (cubes) after voxelization? Is there any automatic method to count it?

Thank you.

The answer to your question is just a few posts above yours. It's amazing what you'll see if you spend a few seconds looking.

Since the plugin creates the cubes as instances of a component, select one of them and look at the Entity Info box. It'll tell you how many there are.

You can say that again.
