[Plugin] FaceSplit v1.0.3

anar

Bravo!
Some testings in view and some track the bugs!

Ps you are very friendly to have put my name but take attention that I have not made any code just a little moment of inspiration (given by a French guy anar!

Thanks Pilou for mentioning that I started that discussion with you here : http://www.polyloop.net/showthread.php/9854-Topmod-De-la-maille-topologique%21/page7#133

And thanks also because without you that plugin would have never been made !

Look what happens if you test the code above with object similar to the one in image below. If the face has a hole in the middle and is not triangulated or quadrangular like in the 2nd row the result can be messy.

The second row show much better result because the first object had quad face before applying script.

Hope this helps.

i thought it was only for surfaces, but i see that it works on volumes also...

would it be possible to split the volume following the liness making like a 3d puzzle?

this would mean adding surfaces following the lines to make independant volumes

like "voxelize.rb", but not only cubes

Seems working fine

And all medians are present!
I don't want imagine the possibilities in 3D!

TIG: Thank you TIG will test that out effective immediately!

Pilou & Anar: People that bring ideas to the table deserve recognition as well.

glro: That would be very cool indeed! I think there is a plugin that does something like this but don't remember it just now. If I find it will let you know.

Pilou: Very cool!

Hi!

May I suggest an addition.
For people working in 3ds Max a imported SketchUp model is sometimes hard to work with because it doesn't consist of evenly sized quad faces. I have this idea to be able to split a face with inner loops like windows by projecting lines in the direction of the edges to the outer loop.
See this quick sketch.

Maybe you think also to voxelize.rb
http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36063

but voxelize makes cubes only; it would be funny to split the volume in exact sub-volumes, and try to build the whole volume back again, using sketchup

i have a 3d connexion mouse, and there is a game like this, to learn how to use it

and in addition, splitting a volume in sub-volumes is equivalent to building a 3d mesh, for structural analysis...

This is excellent idea! It will produce the cleanest geometry possible before dividing it even more.

The plugin I had in my mind was not voxelize...it was one that only worked if you had SketchUp Pro.

Anyways making a plugin like this would be cool indeed. Not sure if I possess the knowledge to do it myself at the moment but will see if I can experiment with the idea in the future.

You should click after you have selected one or more faces.

I have tried but no success,to get this plugin to work.I have reinstalled a few times!
Running SU 8 Pro on Windows 7.
Any suggestion to get it working?

erikB

same here.
also SU8 pro and win 7 (64)
I also think I have all the administrator rights set on every subdirectory.
Strange, I can see the icon but can not click on it nor can I change the number.

Hi,

Uploaded another version to Plugin Store please download it and try to see if it works. The last version used HTML5 to play sound and that might of caused the plugin not to work with people that didn't have latest Internet Explorer version installed.

Download Internet Explorer Here.

If that didn't solved it please let me know...Thanks!

Note: If anyone finds error on 'Ruby Console' please let me know. Here is how to get that information... Open it on 'window>Ruby Console' and then try running Canvas. If Ruby Console detects anything it should show up in window.

Hi,
I am a firefox user, but updated IE with link above,... and it works !! Great plugin.
One downside now my layer panel doesn't work anymore with the caption, "update your IE" ?
There is definitely something wrong with my settings but no worries, I will try and get both plugins to work.

I was told this is not WindowsXP Internet Explore, 9 versions, only the Internet Explorer8, you can not use the Internet Explorer8?

Will soon provide another version that should be working no matter which version of IE is installed. Seems that using css for modifying input fields & buttons is not allowing people with IE 8 or lower to use it...not sure though.

Seems Internet Explorer is not going to provide support for Windows XP and Mac operating sistems. Sketch Up might need to adopt another browser like chrome or Firefox in the future.
