[REQ] Component array formerly Triangular array
-
Thanks sdmitch
can I suggest you also tweak
@ent = mod.entities
to
@ent = mod.active_entities
so the user can place things inside groups while editing them - at the moment everything goes into the model even if you run the tool inside an edit context!
I also reiterate Chris's request to start a new thread so the plugin is 'managed' better... -
Way to go Sdmitch. Nice update
There is only one issue as I see it(look pic). But then again fixing this could be going into the domain of one of Chris Fullmer tools. And if we are gonna follow point 1) http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=12423 then you might already have what is needed in your plugin..
Congrats!

Justin, If you have a 1m X 2m component then,pt0.offset!(xa,interval) and pt0.offset!(ya,interval*2) or add a seperate input for the Y interval.
Jolran, I assume you want the option to place the components perpendicular to the face?
TIG, done.
Chris, will do.

justo, try this plugin, I think it will do what you want.

Would I be painful if I was to ask if the angle could be selectable so it could be set for 45deg and 0 deg, just so all the arrays are in one spot? (Im looking at the script and dont understand any of it to try to do it myself)
Thanks everyone for your input!
Added angle input and 3d capability so face can be tilted.

One plugin to rule them all.
'Array plugin' which has the Triangular, Rectangular, and Rectangular on 45deg (or defineable angle) arrays.
Possible?Sure.
-
Well yeah.! But Chris F's Components onto Faces already does that function, so...
Obviously you are a very talented programmer, so in my opinion it's a little waste for you to do something does already exist. Or might exist in next versions of thoose plugins.
-
Well I don't know all that exists. I simply see a request and try to offer a solution. If Chris has a plugin that does this then it is no doubt better than mine I would suggest you use it.

.Thanks.

Adam ended up doing a 0.5 instead of 2... i think thats what you meant? or did i get my x/y's the wrong way...
pt0.offset!(ya,interval*0.5)either got it
I'll post further questions to the plugin page
