[PLUGIN] Voronoi + Conic Curve
-
Nice plugin!
However, Looking at the code I see that there are many methods on the global namespace. These methods will spread to ALL classes - which is not good. Could you please wrap everything into a separate unique namespace - module? Everything, even all the classes etc.
Have a look at this article I put together with guidelines for SketchUp plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/golden-rules-of-sketchup-plugin-development/ -
Thanks!
-
Forgive my further ignorance, please. Why is it called "Conic Curve?"

Some Voronoรฏ fractures in Blender

Hi MattC
Thanks for this plugin..been looking for something like this for a while.
Anyway, I gave it a go and am experiencing lots of problems generating a proper voronoi lattice. have attached a screenshot and also the SU file for you to look at.
Cheers,
Joel

SO Matt are you saying if I had a box shaped plan I could plan a curve through it to fit well?
-
Could You show me an example of box shaped plan and what You would like to obtain ?

Cool things in 3D

Or something else
Just image found on the Net
But will be easy to make with your futur plug!
-
Pilou You 're teasing me
Is it Sketchup ??
Or something else?
Well only step that I miss from those, is generation of 3D Voronoi
For rest I have plugins already.@ Joel, indeed there WAS a problem - file in first message is updated.

Hey i always loved voronoi structures and iยดm very interested on this plugin but when i try to use it i get this:
Error: #<ArgumentError: Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d>

C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/VoronoiXY.rb:384am i doing something wrong, i read carefully and i think itยดs my SketchUp maybe?

Hi Can You attach sketchup file that is causing problems, or is it in general ?

HI Matt ...
I have made some PNG Icons ,made a loader and toolbar , define Extention for your exelent codes , and developed them a bit
added a custom cursor to the ConicCurveInFace.rb
and removed the annoying UI message-box group counter from VoronoiXY.rb
I have also added TIG's pointcloude script as a defoult part of it , and I also made a Icon for that tool too ( points cloud triangulation ) .. I also made codes nicely and full commented .. just for you dear main developersuggestion for next versions :
add a point cloud generator ruby tool
add option to decide the resoult of VoronoiXY tool should be grouped or not
add option (ConicCurveInFace.rb) that let user make ConicCurves from grouped face (resoult of VoronoiXY tool)
add option (ConicCurveInFace.rb) that let user make ConicCurves from a set of selections .. no need to click and click and click ...and ... thanks a lot for your great script
to dear modorators : please please please don't delet this post !!!
.. TIG says :
Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for
any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies... I didn't delete that copyright part .. and I also added TIG's name after his tool menu item ! is there any copyright issue again ? [mod=:3b85s0b6]PLEASE GET/USE THE LATEST VERSION...
FROM THE PluginStore...[/mod:3b85s0b6]

This one is ok - as it has explicit statement that it can be modified and distributed.
We do however prefer that the downloads for plugins at in the very first post of a plugin's thread. Otherwise it's hard for people to find the latest version if it is buried deep inside the thread. Could you agree with Matt whether that Matt puts the download in the first post - or you create a new thread where you maintain this modified version? -
wonderful

thanks a lot Matt ...
I wish my works have been helpful for you ...
and I'm glad for helpping you to have a nice plugin .
I myself didn't have any problem with icons and I'm wondering why it can't handle the Icon folder path ... but thanks for learning me the right way of codding ... Matt
... but you know ... I'm not a proggrammer ..
, I wish I could code my sugestions .. and help you more than making some icons ..
thanks agane Matt .. have a nice tool -
I'll be keeping eye on this. 3D... that would be great.
-
Matt, the icons - did you put the icons in the correct folder? The change you did make it appear that you placed them in the root folder... ?
-
the.pjt thanks for a hard work.
I
I must admit that that part of writing rubies is still unknown to me. I just concentrate on making my code running and not on wrapping it in a nice package as You did.
One question - as I downloaded Your files I could not access icons, Toolbar was blank.
so in place ofcmd.small_icon = "voronoi_conic/icon0s.png"I used
cmd.small_icon = "./icon0s.png"and it worked.
I have no idea why it was like that.
As for a wishlist:- add a point cloud generator ruby tool - this should be no problem, if we are talking about random pints in a cube/box, and probably random points on face but I have no idea (for now) about random points in a volume (is it possible in Sketchup ?).
-add option to decide the resoult of VoronoiXY tool should be grouped or not - ok , just one userform asking if groups should be exploded in the end. - add option (ConicCurveInFace.rb) that let user make ConicCurves from grouped face (resoult of VoronoiXY tool)- this should also not be a problem
- add option (ConicCurveInFace.rb) that let user make ConicCurves from a set of selections .. no need to click and click and click ... - same as above.
I will try to get it done, when I finish 3DVoronoi.
Cheers
