[Plugin] LSS Matrix
-
Hi kirill!
The first thanks for this great plugin, i have made the translation to spanish, i have created a new lss_toolbar.strings file with all spanish phrases and words and i have translated the html files, but if you want that the translation works you change the line 18 in the lss_toolbar_ext.rb file:
LanguageHandler.new("lsstlbr.strings")--> LanguageHandler.new("lss_toolbar.strings")
Is it possible translate the options of this window?:Other thing, it's important when you save the files (.rb, .html), save them with Unicode (UTF-8 with BOM) format so there will aren't problems with the signs of accentuation in the translations.
I work on Mac (OSX 10.6.8) generally and the plugin doesn't work, it appears the toolbar, the "2 Faces + Path" and "Properties" windows but the Pick icons doesn't work.
I don't know if others Mac users have the same problem, please inform.
Thanks again kirill!!EDIT: Excuse me, i'm talking about LSS Toolbar.

Does it possible to have a Cylinder at the start, and the same cylinder at the end but with only Top face scaled?Looks like you're asking me to examine contents of each group while making copies
OK, challenge accepted
Actually it is a step towards the realization of one of my dreams: to code a plugin, that performs morphing between selected geometry groups .@oxer said:

LanguageHandler.new("lsstlbr.strings")--> LanguageHandler.new("lss_toolbar.strings")You see the currently available version is what you can call 'pre-alpha' (pre-alpha refers to all activities performed during the software project prior to testing) so it is not even 'beta-version'. I published link to it just to inform, that LSS Toolbar project is still alive it was just an answer on this post:

kirill, i am looking forward for your update on lss toolbar
I'm going to add all tools, perform tests and then publish LSS Toolbar in new forum thread. Anyway all strings, which present in lsstlbr.strings, will stay in final version so it will be possible to copy-paste them into resource files of final version.
@oxer said:
Is it possible translate the options of this window?:
Current version shows raw internal attribute names of selected entity, so it is not possible to translate them yet... You may try to take a look at component instances attributes for example 'Susan' component instance (just for fun, because editing of them has no effect). The final version will have a kind of dictionary of name aliases for all attribute names, that LSS Toolbar uses, so it will be possible to translate elements of this dictionary.
And normally the more generic way to apply localization is to place localized resource files into local folder without renaming file names (for example into 'ru-RU' folder for Russian language). LanguageHandler has to find them in local language folder.
Oxer, thanks for informing about UTF-8 formatting I'll fix it.@oxer said:

I didn't adapted web-dialogs for Safari, so most probably they will not work properly on mac I'm not sure that I'll fix this problem, since I don't have mac

Thank LSS hard work, adjustable preview, simply great, But oh have not thoroughly understand.
The animation, that you attached, shows that path curve is the same circle that is boundary of First face. I think it explains all
-
Thank LSS tools operating normally, there is a problem, round closed it? Can automatically smooth?
As shown below

(Excuse me, i know that this problem isn't your priority ).

Here is a demonstration of new LSS Matrix feature 'Scan for changes inside groups'.
[flash=640,360:2oxxhf7x]http://www.youtube.com/v/lfbb8gyH7BA?version=3&hl=ru_RU[/flash:2oxxhf7x]It has a lot of limitations and it is unstable and is able to process only simple geometry for now... Anyway I decided to share this stage: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44695539/lss_matrix/lss_matrix_1_1_alpha.zip

Very cool new functions "Scale"!
(you haveve written "Scan"Well actually face or edge does not store information about its scaling (or any other transformation as well).
The trick is that script 'scans' entities inside groups, detects vertices movements and vertices within intermediate groups approaches from initial position to new position. So after scaling a face it looks like faces within intermediate groups gradually 'scales' from initial scale to new.
That's why this new feature works well only when 'interpolate' option is set to 'Yes'. You may try just for fun not to set 'interpolate' to 'Yes' and see what happen then
So I insist that new feature name is 'Scan' -
Very cool new functions "Scale"!
(you have written "Scan"Seems you win your personal challenge!

Ah tricky "Scan"!

@unknownuser said:

Not yet... The current version has a lot of limitations and very unstable. It's not able to process complex geometry and even sequence of user actions matters (it is necessary to make goup, group copy, then launch 'LSS Matrix' dialog, then edit group and group copy contens, then refresh results). It is necessary to stick to such sequence, because 'LSS Matrix' numerates faces and edges inside initial and copy group after 'Apply' click to be able to track geometry changes properly later during refreshing.
Also it is necessary to edit group contents very carefully: if any face will be broken as a result of editing, then 'Scan' will fail to analyse such changes (entities count has to be equal in initial and copy groups).
So it is far from finish -
Courage!

can not work with SketchyPhysics3
could u fix it? -
Hi Kirill,
absolutely magnificent plugin!
Are you still working on it? It is already tremendously powerful. But there are still so many cool possibilitiesLike the smooth transition you already mentioned (in addition to the linear one as is the case today).
Or another one: right now if I understand it correctly, you can define up to three axes for the array (does make sense in a 3D-environment ).
However, I would very much like to see what one could to with several "key-frame"-groups along one axis (see image below). That would add a great deal of control to the tool (and unquestionably a great deal of work for you... a challenge!)
Anyway: Thank you very much for this great plugin. Its a lot of fun to play with!!!

Seems you can make that in 2 pass no ?

Yes indeed you can. In fact, thats how I did this mock-up. But imagine you just needed two clicks...
And if you have two or more different key-frame groups in more than one direction... then it gets really tricky...
-
Yes but so there is no limit !
Why not 10 or 100 inbetweeners modules !:) -
Hi everyone,
I just download LSS Matrix. Im using a Sketchup 2017 and it just does not work. It doesnt let me set up any copy or original...
Any help??
