Curved Staircases

[Garry K]

Jeff have you tried with template of feet?

My plan is to connect to web while in trial. Once a user is licensed then connecting to web site will no longer be necessary.

[Garry K]

John - can you send me a file with the extra tags and the malformed ones.

@Walt
what do you get if you paste this in 'Ruby Console'

 status = Sketchup.is_online

@Garry I PM'd them the other day?

yeah.. and i encountered another error with it (using the 2013 template Engineering - Feet

i keeping getting the error 'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'.
the settings i'm using while getting that error are:
Tread Thickness: 0.125' (or 1.5")
Tread Bullnose: 0.083' (or 1")

so the error message isn't corresponding to my settings (if i'm properly understanding the message and settings)

oh.. i see. that sounds good

[Garry K]

Jeff - both the top and bottom of the tread get bullnosed. So you can't bullnose the top with a 1" radius and the bottom with a 1" radius.

In this case the maximum bullnose for a 1.5" tread is 0.75".

[Garry K]

Walt - all I can think of doing is pulling out the http code and putting it into a very simple rb script ( not scrambled ).

What user ID are you using? If it isn't the default "User" "test" then I will see what my logs show at the web site. We'll see if we made it that far.

[Garry K]

John - I looked at my PM messages - I have only received 1 since I put up version 1.0.7 08 Feb 2014, 08:39( which had the feet fix ).

Your last message had to do with the beta version 2014.

@ Garry username is mwm5053. I have been able to Login to website with no problems still getting 101 error after clicking ok web dialogue pops up but clicking ok for default values nothing happens heres a screenshot.

[Garry K]

Walt - If you look at the title of the web dialog it is saying "http error 0". Sorry about the confusion. I thought that it would be good to show the web dialog whether you have an error or not? I could change the back ground color from wheat to red or something like that.

The other thing to note is that you may need more accuracy than 1/2" precision to properly draw a stair case. I'm not exactly sure how sketchup handles smaller values than precision.

If you let the defaults.txt file to "User" and "test" and connected then you should see "Testing - temporary status granted"

If you edited defaults.txt file to "mwm5053" and put in the emailed password then you should see "You have 30 days left in trial"

[mwm5053]

I changed defaults txt back to user / test and precision to 1/64 still get screenshot error

[Garry K]

Walt - I went to my web site and took a look. There isn't a single http attempt for user "mwm5053".

I also looked at all of my registered users and there isn't a user "mwm5053" in that file.

You need to go to my web site - CabMaker32.com and click logon and register. You will then receive an email with your password. You can also send me a private message with your email address. I can also look in my user file and see if that email address has been registered under perhaps a different user.

Now thats really weird

that's what i thought.. you may want to consider changing the wording of the error message then:

'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'

to something along the lines of:
max bullnose is 1/2 tread thickness.

@Garry
it's working in 'feet' Template now...

Jeff - Good catch. You are correct - the message is worded wrong. I have changed it for the next version.

[Garry K]

Walt - that is wierd - you normally don't see that screen. The web hosting site has been experiencing hack attacks. Please tell me if you see this screen again.

[Garry K]

Walt - put this rb into your plugins folder and see what you get.

There will be a menu item under plugins called "Web Dialog Test"

Here's my results.

[Garry K]

Walt - I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. I haven't heard anyone else having that problem. It may have something to do with http configurations on your specific machine.

Maybe someone else can answer it. Perhaps start a new thread on this. Maybe the developer forum will catch some attention.

As you can see - the code isn't doing a whole lot.
