cmd.set_validation_proc
(and other places) you want to give the full scope of thesuitable?
method since it is being called from SketchUp outside the scope of your module.Also, combine the MF_ bits.

Thanks, knew it was obvious... This only affected MACs though ???
This was collecting dust on a virtual dust, until Pilou reminded me that I'd written it, so sometimes things get 'forgotten'... -
Here's v1.2 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
Further robustness in enabling/disabling/graying and suitable? tests [thanks to Jim!].
Seems to be especially for MACs -

I am not sure - it was just a guess and I don't have a Mac. Did you try it?
-
I don't have a MAC either.
Driven's reported issue was on a MAC and Jeff had other issues on a MAC too...
Hopefully this recent v1.2 [...20121221b.rbz !] will address thesuitable?
check andMF_
issues with the menus/toolbar...
It still works fine on a PC, but then v1.1 did too -
Nice Christmas gift Tig, thanks a lot, it works perfectly on my Mac.
-
Thanx TIG

Seems to be especially for MACsHi Tig
i'm still getting the same greyed out problem.
is there anything i can type in the console or ?? to help figure out what the problem is?
thanks -
Is there no difference at all - if you have nothing preselected, or one edge preselected, or one face preselected, or lots of things [including some edges] preselected ?
The menu/toolbar are only enabled if there's at least one face in the current selection.
The context-menu only appears if there's at least one face in the current selection.Copy/paste+<enter> these into the Ruby Console and report the results:
with nothing preselected
TIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with one edge preselectedTIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with one face preselectedTIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with lots of things [including some edges] preselectedTIG::Smart_offsetter.suitable?()
with one edge preselected
TIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()
with one face preselectedTIG::Smart_offsetter.dialog()

oops
it actually is working now..
it's just the toolbar that remains greyed out at all times but the menu item becomes available once an appropriate selection has been made..(which, for me personally, is fine.. i more likely than not wont want the toolbar anyway.. i think id use it with a modifier key added to my offset shortcut)
-
here are these results.. (since you took the time to write them.. i better take the time to report )

(works as expected) -
uh.. not sure what the deal is but..
upon entering all of that stuff in the console, the toolbar is now working
[edit] but then.. i quit sketchup then relaunched and the toolbar is greyed out again regardless of selection.. the menu item is working though

voodoo. definitely voodoo at work here.

ha.. that darn voodoo!
some more info:
so here's what the deal with the toolbar is.. (in this example, i have 3 squares with faces drawn)
โขcmmdA (select all)
โขtoolbar remains greyed out (menu item is live)
โขdo something else (rotate, pan, etc)
โขtoolbar becomes active
โขdeselect all
โขtoolbar remains active (menu item greys out)
โขdo something else (switch tool, orbit, etc)
โขtoolbar greys outso it appears, on mac, that something has to happen other than simply selecting in order to jump start the toolbar into updating it's state

Hey Tig,
I am getting the same thing Jeff has. But since Jeff actually knows what he is doing, he can do the ruby troubleshooting. Will stay tuned to see what you fellas figure out.
It works great on my windows machine at home.
Thanks TigUpdate
Jeff says his works. It does not work on my mac.

Offset [+/-ve=out/My drop down "Tools" Menu works with a face preselected. The toolbar does not.
Nothing works with just edges selected.
If you need me to check anything else, and I do not get right back to ya, I am not ignoring you I am just here there and everywhere today. -
Here's v1.3 http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=446462#p446462
Removed 'suitable?' method, to suit MACs, more error traps etc.
Try this and report back... -
It works the same for me. With a face selected the drop down tools menu item will work but the single icon toolbar will not.

Which is weird... because they BOTH use 'cmd' and share the same enabled/grayed code...
To check that the toolbar WILL work somehow... can you please edit the file 'TIG-Smart_offset.rb' on your MAC with a plain text editor [BBedit???] and find the three lines starting at #117 reading:cmd.set_validation_proc{ Sketchup.active_model.selection.grep(Sketchup;;Face)[0] ? MF_ENABLED ; MF_GRAYED }
and change them to read
#cmd.set_validation_proc{ #Sketchup.active_model.selection.grep(Sketchup;;Face)[0] ? MF_ENABLED ; MF_GRAYED #}
i.e. add a # in front of each of the three lines to disable them.
Now the tool's command should always be 'enabled' in the menu & the toolbar button, if you try to use it without a Face in the Selection you'll get an error messagebox...
Let me know how this goes...Incidentally, BEFORE [& after] you make the changes... do you get the tool's context-menu item IF there's a Face in the Selection ?

that does the trick.. the toolbar is always active now and i'll just receive an error if i try to run the tool without an appropriate selection..
[context menu works also.. but it worked prior to disabling the above lines]
-
OK !
The current tool [v1.3] works just fine for PCs... but it baulks on a MAC with some of the enable/grayed code for the toolbar button - which is weird...The editing of the three lines of code in the script to disable them with a leading #... as indicated in the preceding posts... will fix it for MAC users...
I'll see if I can get a version working properly for PC and MAC without this cludge !
In the meantime, please report any issues...
Merry Xmas
Apocalypse averted!
Phew!
