Version 1.0.11 06-Mar-2014

Now SU 2014 compatible
Added missing line to gkware_stairmaker_loader.rb. Utils.rbs was only loading if door maker was installed.
Added Config folder to hold user configuration and temp files
Make button images for add Handrail profile and glue edges
Fixed bug in handrail scaling
Auto Sizing of Web Dialog. For some reason – need to add room for scroll – even if it shouldn’t be needed
Fixed bug where trial string keeps growing
Handrail was not going into “Handrail” layer. Fixed
Changed Stringer “Width” to “Depth” in web dialog, language files and in defaults.txt
Made changes to defaults.txt for “imperial_stair_width”

You might want to add .rbz to post or transfer this to plugins forum it's hard to find the file embedded in the middle of topic I can't find maybe I missed it somewhere.

I've been busy learning about JQuery, Ajax, JSONP etc.

Here are 2 ruby scripts that I would like someone to try on OSX Lion, OSX Maverick and Windows 8.

The first script is called 'dialog_test_tabs.rb' and is set up with tabs. The tabs code came from user NewOne
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=22662

This works nicely on my machine which is a Windows 7 machine. I have Internet Explorer 11 installed.

The second script is call dialog_test_5.rb and connects to a test web service on my web site. It just passes a very simple JSONP record {"firstname":"Jeff"} and is suppose to respond with 'Your name is Jeff Hansen'

Well i'm on SU2014 and yosemite

First of all I still get the "HTTP error"

That is very well the reason I get these outputs of your test files.

Installed via the sketchucation plugin and all is good.. Just wonder what to do if stringers have different curvatures ?

Garry K

Do you have an example of what you mean by different curvatures?

My understanding so far is this.
Curved stringers do have different curvatures (radius), but they both have the same pivot point. The best I can do right now for irregular stairs is the 2D to 3D portion of the stair maker suite.

Ahh.. ok thanks. Would I mean is that the stringers is curved but not in parallel. On stringer has a sharper curve than the other. Btw. the 2D to 3D feature sounds promising but the documentation in the help file is leaving me a little puzzled. Should I make 2 stringers as pollens and the select them an push the 2Do3D button or do I have to make a face? sorry this is totally obvious to other than stupid old me. Other than that it is a pretty solid piece of coding sir!

Garry K

I have a few videos on the 2D to 3D stairs.

NICE.. thanks a lot!
