[Plugin] Stair Maker

sdmitch

Well, I dont get to type in any value.
the plugin quits right after the first Dialog box

That doesn't answer my question. If you could enter a number say 1234 mm as meters, would it be 1.234 or 1,234?

p.s.

Please check messages.

I have updated the plugin at the Plugin Store to work with comma or period. Delete the existing Stair Maker.txt file.

Hi,

I meet the same result as Filipe does in the console, and the same result in Sketchup, i.e. nothing appears after having completed the tables.

I tried using either "." and "," with the plugin download today, and I also tried working in inches as well as in mm without need of using decimals nor fraction.

What have I been doing wrong?

Thanks,

Matt

Deleting the existing StairMaker.txt file and allow the plugin to recreate it.

Thanks, SD Mitch, for this very useful plugin.

Just installed this on iMac El Capitan. The input box dialogue is truncating the field names.

This is a known bug in InputBox on Mac, and can be fixed by adding extra spaces in the Prompts line of the call to inputBox.
prompts=["Step Width: ","Tread Depth: ","Riser Height: ","Num of Steps: ","Step Depth:","Rail Height:", "Rail Offset:","Height of Stairs:"]

The text above displays only one extra space added but in reality there are several - HTML is collapsing multiple spaces into one.

Result

I've incorporated this change into my own copy. Could it be fixed for any future plugin updates?

Since I don't have or have access to a Mac, there is no way for me to address this problem.
