[Plugin] Make Tank 1.5 (beta)

[thomthom]

Welcome! And thanks for sharing!

I recommend you read this article I wrote about SketchUp plugin developement: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/golden-rules-of-sketchup-plugin-development/

It described how you can build plugins to avoid potential clashes with other plugins. I saw the code and noticed you did not have your methods in a namespace module which might cause potential clashes.

Thanks for the link. I'll go to read and might change the code accordingly...

Dezmo,

This plugin looks very useful. I hope you will find the time to develop it further. Can imperial units be used?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Dezmo,

I see you keep editing your post (developing/reattaching the plugin?) which keeps it bumbed back to the moderation queue.

All right, next time it will appear instantly as I took you out of the "newly registered members" usergroup.

Are you Hungarian, by the way (as you are in that usergroup, too)

Hi,
I'm happy if you find it usefull. I did some changes for you, plase take a look!
In next version, I hope, I can implement some legs..

Hi Csaba,
I'm sorry about always changing my post, but somehow need to correct my mistakes...
And yes, I'm Hungarian, currently working in Germany, without kowing german (and ruby) language. Both in progress...

There's absolutely no problem with that - in fact, I am glad you "listen" to ThomThom as he knows what he is saying and does it helpfully.

It's just usually unusual for very new members to start with a plugin topic. Otherwise this is the "practice" here: plugin authors keep changing the very first post of the topic to keep the plugin up-to-date there.

So welcome!

Pretty kool... I used to do tank inspection and this would have been awesome for it.

[dezmo]

New fuctions in first post.
Later I'm planning to revise/clear the code...(without scedule), any suggestions are welcome...
Happy sketching!

Do you need to provide all the older versions? It's a bit confusing to what file is the latest.

Ok. Clarified...

<<<<< This guy was.

Me, too. I guess because of those examples we have seen from time to time.

I actually just made some tanks, something it never occured to me I'd need to model (there are some in the warehouse but didn't look like the ones I needed). But this plugin came a day or so late . Might have helped with the basic shapes, but what I ended up doing is scaling and re-using the main components as much as possible to save bytes.
