Surely not but don't forget the pleasure to find the solution!

that pleasure would be nothing compared to the pleasure experienced by figuring this one out

TIG, marry Xmas and thank you for this great present.
P.S. Could you take a look at attached?
P.P.S. a. It'd be neat if this tool was mode-less (I mean replicating the native SU behavior)
b. a number of offset option???

some segments offset wrong way

Thank you TIG and Merry Christmas!

This one is a difficult task.

Thank you, Santa TIG. Milk and cookies will await you Xmas morning.

Any chance of having:
1- a "Weld Offset" option button in the dialog
or
2- have the offset automatically welded if its source-edges were made from the circle, arch, polygon tools or previously "welded" edges?

Regards, John

Thanks TIG! I don't think I could have asked for a better Christmas/World not ending present!

Thanks for this great plugin.
Would it be very difficult to have it work as an interactive tool also using the measurement toolbar instead of the pop up window so it can replace the native tool all together?

[TIG]

Here's v1.5 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
There's some code improvements and fewer fails etc.
Some of the requested changes like 'holes', welded-outlines and VCB input will have to wait...

Merry Xmas...

Pixero,

Then you can use Offset on Surfacewhich shows interactively the offset profile and allow to type the offset distance in the VCB. Still many glitches with convoluted contours however.

Looking at ways of minimizing this, and offsetting curves as curves...
Watch this space...

[TIG]

Here's v1.6 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
Curves/Arcs are now offset as curves in the offset-outline...
Speed improved.
Glitches avoided.

A Very Extra-Merry Xmas to you all...

Error Again

the 48.4 dimension was not taken 'legitimately' (you should measure from the center of the arch segment perpendicular to offset segment)

[TIG]

Two steps forward one step back...
Another 'fix' is in the mixer...

hi tig,
just send something thru paypal, is 5 p. ok ?

i am trying the offset-script, but have some problems, i cannot solve

drawing new curves : ruby works

in my actual project a have to insert lots of curves for landscape modelling.

i created a hole in an existing mesh >> extrqacted the borders of this hole >>
projected these border to a plane (sandbox) >> converted the borderline to

1. polygon
2. curve

but somehow the script does not create offsets here (standard sketchup offset works - with all its mistakes)

i attach the planes, maybe you can check it

i work in skp 6

thanx and regards stan

2 planes - border curve / border polygon

Thanks TIG,

I don't use a lot of plugins but I think this one will be very useful. Happy New Year to you.
