[Plugin] TIG-Smart_offset
-
Rocks.
-
Just wondering? Is "TIG_Random _Shape_Generator.rb.v2.1" the final offer.
Thanks for working at it over 'The End of the world', Christmas and New Years.
Great Plugin. Thank you! You rock.

No.
It is in the middle of a revamp...
BUT other more pressure projects have intervened.
Keep watching, an update will arrive one day...

It should offset any arcs/circles/curves as curves NOT arcs/circles.
BUT I' unsure why one of the curve's edges is failing to be incorporated in that new curve...remember that it's not really intended to replace the native Offset for these kinds of very simple operations, but rather to avoid the annoying 'bow-tie' issues it can cause in complex concave/narrowing loops
This tool IS long overdue its annual update...
Keep watching [but don't hold your breath]...

Keep watching, an update will arrive one day...Does the ruby API have code similar to your offset and reveal Ruby. But that instead of selecting faces one would select lines, similar to the "edge loops" concept used in Zbrush or C4D? see attachment

how instal this plugin?
-
Either 1. download its RBZ from the SCF PluginStore page linked above... and 2. use the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button.
OR one off - get the SketchUcation Toolset RBZ from the Resources menu [above], then install it - and thereafter use that to install all of your needs from the PluginStore directly using AutoInstall from the PluginStore dialog in one step. -
-
Positive.
-
Yes, +ve and -ve are common English abbreviations for Positive and Negative respectively: used with numbers - e.g. 2, -2
-
Thx for the info!
-
Version 3.0 is released. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Smart_offset It's now updated to work with newer versions of SketchUp [including 'signing'].
If used within another tool it also properly returns the newly created face[s] within an array...
See usage notes in first post... -

Click the Download button in TIG's post immediately above yours.

Please note that the newer versions of SketchUp [v2017/2018] now have improved Offset processes which might render this tool unnecessary...
-
Hi TIG!
In my opinion your tool IS still necessary because sketchup is still not yet smart enough to support offsetting multiple faces
I think I tried out all free multi-offsetting plugins and, although Smart Offset is the slowest, it doesn't cause reversed offsets (going outsie face instead of inside). -

Hi. I think the plugin has been active for a very long time.
There's a feature I come across often. That applies to text objects.
Is the plugin editable to work like the example below.
I feel.
-
You might be able to add some code to apply the offset to all loops of the face - currently it only works on the outer-loop, so inner 'holes' are not processed...
Feel free to mess around with the code...
