[Plugin] Pen Tool +

Dave R

Weld Draw is working fine for me. It all works fine except my second request. But, beggars can't be choosers so I'm not complaining.

Rich O Brien

Version 1.2 (remove old before installing)

thanks to TIG for tweaking again for squashing some bugs.

See first post for latest.

Dave R

Now Weld Draw doesn't seem to draw welded edges.

Soft Draw will convert unsoftened edges to softened but doesn't draw softened wedges from the start.

Rich O Brien

It seems it's only welding when aligned to an axis? Can you confirm?

Rich O Brien

No, it seems to toggling on/off....strange? TIG?

Dave R

It isn't even Friday the 13th.

Rich O Brien

Updated to v1.3

Note:
Weld Draw does not draw welded loops. It will also split if it intersects with any edge and get a little funky. It's primary function it to create a simple curve from drawn edges[lines]

Cool Rich, great job on posting a plugin. I'll never ever use it as I'm sure I won't understand its accent, but should be lots of fun to install just to hear it mock me and my modeling habits all the time

Rich O Brien

Make sure to use the Weld tool on your mouth. Before I write a Foot tool for your ass

A visit is all it takes.

Comes of drinking American beer at high elevations for a week when you're not used to either.

Lived in Boston for a year about 15yrs ago. Was a painter/decorator/illegal alien!

But that's the only blot on an otherwise perfect record.

@Dave
I didn't even realise Boulder was high up? Too busy fixated on the dispensaries.

'Twas the nuances of your snappy comeback that made me wonder

In your honor:

A fellow we know named O'Brien,
Sometimes can leave folks a-cryin'.
But sometimes his gaffin',
Will start you to laffin',
Even when sparks are a-flyin'.

oh, well.

Where does this plugin locate itself? I have it installed, the toolbar works fine but when I look in the plugins folder the PenTool+.rb or a folder holding the icons are nowhere to be found. I am confused (as usual).

Rich O Brien

Look for a folder called 'rob_hsltool'

The 'Draw' menu contains the modes of drawing also

boofredlay

Not there that I can see. Weird. Here is my plugins folder and a screen shot of the toolbar active.

Dave R

Any chance that's your SU7 Plugins directory?

boofredlay

Nope, I checked and the folder you see is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins

This is my SU7 Plugin folder.
