Be sure you are doing it the right way, it is click and drag.
-
That error message will be very useful to Fredo in establishing what's wrong...
Over to him...
-
should i PM him?
-
You could, but Fredo regularly visits here, so he should see your post/plight soon...

Does it load properly ? Yes it load properly
Have you read and understood its usage/instructions ? i understand the usage, in older version of SU i used it everyday.
Are there any error messages in the Ruby Console when you try to use it ?
Have you installed the latest LibFredo ? I installed latest and restarted my SU.
I have delete the lib and reinstall. but it dont help.-and yes, this is the error i found on my ruby console-
This when i load the plugin

The error on <model>.entityID is very strange because in Sketchup this is valid (it returns "Model".
Do you get this error for a sepcific model or always?

Actually, this is Dynamic Component that adds that to the Model class. It adds a few methods to make the Model class blend with the regular Entity class.
The changes DC do to the SketchUp API classes makes sense - but unfortunately they where added as part of DC and not the API. So if DC is disabled they won't work.
I personally want them merged into the official API - though there are challenges as some of them are not ideal for the API, as they have some failing edge cases that was good enough for DC, but not for an API. Need to be careful to reduce breaking things. Hence it's not been done yet. -

yes i disable the DC because of never used it. thanx for the respond. -
Everytime I try to use Joint push pull, it freezes at 63 %.. Please help, I really need that tool for shape I'm working on it.. I'm using SU 15 pro. Thank you!!

Do you mean by 'every time' - 'whatever I try to use it on [even the simplest box]...'
OR do you mean - 'whenever I try to use it on a particular set of geometry...'First off, we must assume you have installed the latest version of this tool and the required Lib ??
If it's the first problem, then something is up with either the way the tool is installed or you are trying to use it - as it works faultlessly for most of us.
What settings etc are you using ?If it's the second problem, then there's probably something wrong with your geometry...
Can you post a SKP of it so that we can check it out, and thereafter advise you more constructively... -
Feature Request.
Hi, Fredo.
I love your plugin, and have been using it very well for awhile now.
Because of my workflow, there is a tiny feature request I would like to make if it isn't too difficult.
Let me know if there is a way to produce the result that is shown on the right, as supposed to the one on the left.
(Maybe there is a way, I suspect with "Borders" and different type of push-pull modes, but no luck so far)
I would like two or more faces connected to be pushed all-together, but no edges created on the sides.
Thank you in advance.
-
You have just the line on the top and not on the bottom?
Maybe you can use remove inner faces by Wikii ?
And Clean Up by Thomthom on the selection of the Vertical + bottom faces ?Joint PushPull + Remove inner face + CleanUP = your exact result on the right!
( here in Xray Mode)
Normal

Do you mean like this?

looks like he also wants the original edge removed. Maybe a "too" special case? There are so many options in this tools as it is.

he wants not ?

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I just wanted the line on top, not on the bottom.
Also, all other functions create hidden/soften line on the side (it will be visible when hidden geometry is enabled)
I know there is a work-around with cleanup and some other plugins. But I do hundreds of these sometimes.
I was just looking for a easier solution if it wasn't so troublesome.

A good point.
It does have a lot of options, I thought maybe an option for my purpose hidden somewhere.
if not, maybe a easy fix. -

yes but sometimes with a tricky simple selection and the good plugin
you can make that in one second!

edit3: there used to be an angry rant here from me, which was unjustified and stemmed from time pressure and my inability to, in fact, read the manual (or watch the tutorials).
so, sorry to those who had to read it, and i apologize for using this forum to vent my frustration.
have a nicer day than I'm having,

Fredo,
I really love JPP and can't thank you enough for allowing us to freely use such a sophisticated and well developed plugin.
I have a couple of small questions for you that I've been strugling with on JPP but never found the nerve to pester you about...
These are little things that I always forget when working with JPP and that make me always undo the first operation I perform with it:
1 - All Sketchup's native tools allow us to define a direction and then reverse it with the "-" operator and a value for the distance. For instance a pushpull of 1m down, might be defined by pushpulling, moving up and then hit "-1" on the VCB. JPP doesn't work like that and always assumes the direction of the side of the face we pick as the positive direction not the direction of the movement we do when dragging, wich for me is not intuitive within the Sketchup environment.
2 - We have to click+drag to define a distance relative to existing geometry. This poses several problems when we have to orbit/pan around the model to find that geometry on the model while keeping the mouse button pressed down. Is there any possibility to make the input for inference be one click for start moving and second click to apply inference?
3 - This would probably have to change the way selection is made on the fly... With standard sketchup it is made by using the shift and ctrl modifier keys. Is it possible to also replicate that behaviour?
4 - On Sketchup tools when you preselect something that preselection is not changeable.
5 - After the selection is defined you input the value on the VCB and press return/enter and the command assumes the distance. Is this possible to replicate too? Right now JPP accepts the VCB input but doesn't accept return or enter to assume the value.
I guess all of these happen because you want to define several input methods and have found this the better way, but maybe the original Sketchup input methods are compatible with all the complexity of your plugin.
I can't imagine how much work would be involved in this, but if it is simple enough could you consider using methods more similar to Sketchup native methods or maybe allow us to define our own input methods?
Thanks in advance and thanks once again for this wonderful plugin,
Best regards and happy new year,
João
