[Plugin] UCS Manager

TIG

Here's an update http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DBUR_UcsManager_v1_0_0 It have recast some of the code making the Translation hash - it's no longer set up inside the RBS, it's now done in the subfolder's RB before loading the RBS at all.

At least that way we might get different error messages

Please retry and report back...

Hi TIG
UCS manager is now loading without error - when located in standard plugins location, and in alternate locations.
However the following errors appear on use:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method list_all_ucs' for DBUR_Ucs:Module> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb:61 Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant DBUR_Ucs::SaveUCSTool> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb:40 C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb:61:in call'

..and...

Thank you again (sorry for taking a few day to test and get back to you)

This is weird...
I'll do some more investigations...

TIG

Here's an update http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=DBUR_UcsManager_v1_0_0 Some of its encrypted 'class' methods have been adjusted so they might now [hopefully] work better with earlier versions of SketchUp...

Exactly the same error messages, I'm afraid.

Would you like me to PM you them? (rather than saturating the thread with error messages)

TIG

Please copy+paste these three lines [one at a time] into the Ruby Console and report the three results...

` load('DBUR_UcsManager.rb')

load('DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb')

Sketchup.load('DBUR_UcsManager/dbur_ucs.rbs')`

Then, in that same session, retry using the tool...

tommy.jhd

load('DBUR_UcsManager.rb')
true
load('DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb')
C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/DBUR_UcsManager/DBUR_UcsManager.rb:29: warning: already initialized constant TR
true
Sketchup.load('DBUR_UcsManager/dbur_ucs.rbs')
false

Tool replies same error messages as before

Original version replies: true, true, false - with no elaboration or warnings

TIG

I'll PM you a possible solution...

And gents, did you solve it?

Hi,
It would be a great improvement if we could choose the orientation of the three axes and not only the origin point, like the native "placer" tool.

Hello,

Yes, that's true.
I've just updated the plugin some days ago, and I wondered if I had to code what you want, and I did'nt did it.
I'll take your wish into account soon.

Didier Bur

Hi Djé,

Version 1.1.0 of the plugin is now availbale.

the UCS Origin now takes the current UCS for moving it
a new tool lets you define a new UCS (just like the native SU tool)

Download it at the Plugin Store (also soon at the EW):
