[Plugin] View Parts (1.2) — Sept 13 2011
-
hi,
does anyone have this working on a mac... [EDIT-the examples on a mac!!!]
I tried both standard and a version using TIG's mods, and although both create scenes, everything is hidden.
the only way to see any content is to use 'edit>>unhide>>all' but then 'ALL' are unhidden in 'ALL' scenes.
I tried using the hide 'other' feature to see the individual elements, but this gets zeroed when I switch pages[scenes].
does the model need to have separate layers for each group/component?
any ideas?

I've the same situation under Windows XP 3.
If I select components within a group and launch Viewparts, it creates all the needed scenes but all is hidden. And no way to unhide anything.Have a look at the attached file.
Driven, If you don't mind, I'd like to have your updated script with TIG's modifications to do a test.
I'm sorry but I'm really not a Ruby scripter.
Thanks. -
Hi has anyone any idea why this script seams to lock up my files while using the arc tool, I have unstalled this excellent script and found that all is working fine, maybe its a mac issue, some help would be much appreciated........
Thank You

for the life of me I cannot figure out why I cannot get this to work. I click on the link, save to the plugins folder within SU8. It does not show up anywhere but I can see it in the folder. Any ideas?
-
Did you restart sketchUp after installing the file in the Plugins folder? Did it install with the .rb extension?
-
The Plugin does not work with a Mac. I put it in the correct folder (Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins).
The required 'sketchup.rb' is included in the TT_Lib2. But the plug-in window shows no entry "Exploded View"
Any idea what I could change?
Could it be a problem not working with an english system interface?

No - this plugin has no dependance on TT_Lib2.
The required
sketchup.rbis located in SketchUp's Tools folder. (Where it should stay.) -

You need to have at least 1 group or component in your model,
you will then get a 'Parts>> views ' entry in the Plugin Menu,
Menus in the top level menus (File,Edit,View,Plugins,etc...) does not hide or show based on selection. They are fixed. Only context menus are dynamic like that.

hi,

you should have a 'Parts>> views ' entry in the Plugin Menu, [Edited following TT's comment..]
click on that entry, choose your options and it will make the scenes.
click on scene tabs to view.
group a square, then try it out.
if you open a drawing with lots of groups, it will make lots of scenes.

hi dannyver,
I don't use SU 6 and I'm on a mac so it's hard to know what issues your having.
maybe you could re-cast your question to target your setup better.
e.g. "I've tried this plugin using SU6 on this skp and it doesn't seem to function, can someone check if it's my skp?
or "can someone post a skp that works with this plugin in SU6 so I can check my setup..."
With the first example you'll likely find out if your skp works or with the second you'll eliminate a wrongly setup skp...
sorry I can't be of more help. Personally I know it 'basically' works on mac using SU8, but I only tested the functionality for future use.
other than that I suggest checking you've got the latest version, and re-read any instructions or posts.
also, if you no longer use SU6 update your User Settings.

. this can make this plugin very useful You need to explode the top-level Group or Component. The plugin is not designed to work when in the context of Component.

Hi,
would it be possible to create automatically layers with scene's name and visibility on, for each scene, instead of hiding unwanted parts ?
Maybe as an option > "create layers ?" YES/NO.
Thanks. -
Will be very cool with the Radial Move by CPlassais !
And with the "tricky one liner" for the ruby console by TIG (which makes each faces selected as a component)!
m=Sketchup.active_model;n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|(g=n.add_group(e);g.to_component.definition.name="Face#1")if e.class==Sketchup;;Face}
