[Plugin] Face2Frame - Updated 27-Mar-2014

[Krisidious]

I love it when a plugin turns a lurker into a poster. Welcome Carl...

I brought up the sheathing issue too... However if I remember correctly Mitch said it would be difficult to do, so I just let it go. I'll let him reply to your suggestions as I'm just a lurker like you.

Hi!
First, thanks sdmitch for a great plugin. In addition to being very promising for modelling, it has pushed me to actually try to modify a plugin myself.

Hm, noticed some perculiar behavior. Dialog did not show up after 1 execution.

I think I might have fixed this by removing the lines 58 ("unless @@dlg") and 118 ("end").

This (to my understanding) makes the dialog load the defaults each time you select the Frame it option. I haven't tested this much so idk if it causes any other problems.

[sdmitch]

Carl, if you would please refer back to my original post you will find this.

Just so you know, I am not an architech or carpenter. What this plugin produces is my interpretation of what a stud wall looks like and does not attempt to comply with any standard building practices or codes so use with caution.
and I have no plans to go any further with this plugin.

Line 58 was just an attempt to keep from loading multiple webdialogs but what ever works is OK with me.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
I create a face, but when I select "Frame It" all I get are 2D lines on my face.

I have attached a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Thank You for this great plugin, I'm sure it will be very useful to me, once I figure it out.

Thanks,
Wayne

That's the back-face ?

[Krisidious]

I can use mine on a front face or back face. That's strange behavior. Did you make any selections on the menu or just use it straight away? Did you hit enter?

[trimguy66]

I get the same results, if I select an option, and then hit enter, or not make any selections at all.

something is broken... I don't have this issue. can you try removing all your plugins except this one and restarting SU. just as an experiment.

[TIG]

Also post your option settings - it might be a units issue ?

[Krisidious]

And what version of OS and SU are you running?

question regarding this tool...whats the edge tool, CorG tool and Misc tool?
Did I miss something?

Nice framer though.

No you didn't miss anything. I created the various sub-menus as a way of seperating the vari0us plugins of mine.

Please open the Ruby Console and then run the plugin. An error is occurring and this will tell me what it is.

Nice blog! You have so many plugins! You now have the dubious distinction of being in my favorites under SU Ruby!

Try downloading and installing again you shouldn't be getting that.

LUCKY ME !

[trimguy66]

Thanks for all the replies !!

I uninstalled the plugin, and then reinstalled, by saving to my desktop and then dropping in to my plugins folder. I am still getting the same results.

I am running Windows 7 / SU 8

I haven't tried removing all my other plugins, and restarting SU yet.
I am hoping that the ruby console will shed some light on my problem, before I go through removing all the plugins.

Thanks,
Wayne
