[Plugin] GOSU v1.1.1
-
Am I right that GOSU will only do 1 function at a time??
If so what about a right click sub menu to choose function???My pause button is not working
rest works great so far. -

Hi,
Gosu can do multiple functions in some cases since it uses the same component name for all "Set::" parameters. The "Set:: Scene" and "Set:: Layer" are the ones that can be repeated with another "Set::" option withoud any issues...Let me give you an example;
Example A
- Set:: URL = http://www.sketchUcation.com
- Set:: Scene = http://www.sketchUcation.com
- Set:: Layer = http://www.sketchUcation.com
^^When you use ::Gosu:: it will active URL,Scene and Layer at the same time.
Example B
- Set:: Sound = C:\Users\name\Desktop\folders\audio.wav
- Set:: Scene = C:\Users\name\Desktop\folders\audio.wav
- Set:: Layer = C:\Users\name\Desktop\folders\audio.wav
Note: Again notice how Set:: Scene & Set:: Layer can be combine with other "Set::" Options.

This is great idea I will try to add it on next version...thanks!

rest works great so far.What the Pause button is supposed to do is deactivate tool be leave the web dlg window instead to closing it like the close button do. If this does not work try hitting 'Esc' key or Select another tool like the Select tool. I will see if I can find the issue...thanks.
Cheers!

Rafael,
I have a very very very big wish, and I think you can introduce it into your great plugin. This would speed up sketchup many many times. You are a very talented programmer, so I truly think/believe that you can do it
I may say in advance that I saw such a solution in a very famous 3d software
The point is: let's assume I have a component (or a group, it should apply to both, but components are more important to me) and let's assume that this components have 1 million polygons. Now lets assume I have 100 copies of this component. Yes - 100 millions polygons altogether (BTW it's not a problem for Octane Render using instancing with great TIG's plugin - see Octane forum). We all know how such geometry may affect speed of SU - orbiting, zooming can be a real nightmare. Now imagine I select one copy of a component, go to your plugin, choose a new option eg. "Set:: bounding box" and only bounding boxes (frames only) become visible. Just 12 edges of a bounding box instead of millions. We can assign a shortcut key like "alt+B" to turn on/off this option. And now orbiting, zooming, navigation would be so fast.
An extra option would be to give a user a choice to turn on/off bounding boxes on all of same components or on all but the selected one.
Tell me what you think and if the idea is clear to you and of course if it is possible to code?
Kind regards,
Sebastian
PS. I attach some screenshots with the idea.
- Copies of a component.
- First version of a plugin function - frames on each copy of a component.
- Second version of a plugin function - frames on each copy of a component but not selected one.

Hi, very clear explanation!
Here is a video for "Bounding Box View" Plugin found here... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21427

I have not tested "Bounding Box View" plugin yet to know if your suggested extra options is available but for the most part its pretty close to what you asked I think.
Tell me if that plugins was what you wanted if not maybe something else can be worked out.
Cheers!

It's almost it. But selecting one component and running the plugin should also change all other components without a need of selecting them. And an option to have one selected component visible and rest in a form of frames would be so useful.
Perfect solution (for me) would look like this: select a component, apply the plugin - frames on all components, apply it again - frames on all but selected, apply again - go back to an original view. And a dream
is to assign one shortcut, eg. 'F6'.What do you think Rafael?

Sounds like a plan! I will put this things on my to do list and hopefully make it happen in a reasonable amount of time. I like to realease simple scripts that solve just a few of your suggestions and then refine it by updates.
No promises since I have extra work but I think is a good idea so I will try.

This is done already just need to check few thing so I can release it.

Hey I stumbled upon this ... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21334
Please tell me what you think...cheers!

I saw ghostcomp yesterday - great plugin but its use is not as fast as I wanted. It introduces extra layer, wireframe is only for original component (box is with sides). Anyway ghostcomp is a great plugin.

It introduces extra layer, wireframe is only for original component (box is with sides), it doesn't convert all same components unless I select them,... I think proxy component works better for me. Anyway ghostcomp is a great plugin.
I have started to add the 'Set:: Proxy' to Gosu.
@smicha said:
BTW. Do you know any plugin that selects same components? This function is available in a component manager, right click on a component that is on a list, and choose 'select instances' but I cannot assign shortcut key for it.
Here is the one I found by Confitex Architure;
[Plugin] Select component instances on right click - http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9810
Note: You can add a shortcut key to that plugin under 'Edit/Item/DC Instances/Select Active

5 minutes ago I found the same plugin

I found it. Thanks.

GOSU v1.0.6 Released!
[highlight=#bfff00:3lqn88ji]1.0.6:: 4/26/2013[/highlight:3lqn88ji]
- Set:: Proxy - Replaces complex component with simple one temporarily.
Set:: Proxy
Note: The Set:: Proxy feature in Gosu is a modification of a plugin called 'Bounding Box View by AdamB' and even though is written little different at its base is the same thing with couple functions added. So most of the credits should go to him...again thanks and if there is any issue please let me know.
::GOSU dlg::

You are my hero
Great job Rafael!Can you add an option to get frames only (boxes with edges only, no sides)?

Download the plugin again because I added some code that will allow you to add cline lines with no faces to proxy if you hold 'ctrl' key while clicking component.
Note: In the video I said 'cline line' and the correct name for it is 'construction line'. Also sometime if the web dlg is focused and you hold ctrl and click component it will not work, so before doing this move camera to refresh view-port so the plugin recognize a key being press.
-
Ctrl function is not working - I installed it twice.
-
Another improvement would be proxy on a single group, not a component.
