[Plugin][$] JointPushPull Interactive - v4.8a - 30 Mar 24

fredo6

It's a small bug when

you do a first Push pull
then you press Return, whereas there is no face selected

I'll fix it in a next release

does this is possible or I miss something ?

(i have not tested with the new version)

JPPv6.skp

It worked for me, Pilou. You should try it.

pilou

With the old version the best was that!

Cool now with this new version that is working as wished!

Greetings!

I'm having a problem with trying to use this tool. When I open SU I get an error msg regarding LibFredo as below:

I've just installed Ruby, as well, although not where it wants to go (in the root of C:. Nothing goes there unless Security logs!) Its been installed to the same sub-folder in Program Files as SketchUp.

Any hints or tips to help me?

On a good note (always leave 'em happy Elmer!!) I've just installed the bezier curve tool. What a little beauty!!

You should never use special characters in path names!

in your case: '13...

TIG

Certainly special characters like é or ö will break the current version of Ruby that ships with SketchUp.
The ' is a special case, because it breaks some Ruby and js when passed in a string that is 'raw'.
The author can use " " to encapsulate Ruby string parts so the included ' is preserved.
Or if the encapsulation is ' ' it must then be escaped - tr("'","'") for js use it's best perhaps as say tr("'","\\'") ...

But for now please leave ' out of your path-names - there are many alternatives...

numerobis

Almost two months online already... How could i miss this one?!?

Unbelievable! You've done it again... Great improvement!

I'm not sure if the sketchup "developers" are still following what's going on with their software on plugin level... If i would be in their position i would really be ashamed...

Right, I shall remove the offending "happy oz trophy" (which is a straight one, nothing oblique or fancy) from the SU file path.

Its never affected any thing else when I abb. (tee hee!! ) the date in the path name but I'll be honest, up until ten days ago I'd never heard of Ruby, heathen that I am!!

A thought. A.N.Other plug-in, the SVG importer that required rexml (from Ruby) to be added into the plug-ins folder didn't work either, though I can't remember the error msg. I received.

It may also be why I can't import *.dxf files from Inkscape that were made from a *.pdf files that were made in Photoshop from *.psd files that were made from thoughts in my single malt, whisky hazed mind!

Back to the point, I'll update you with as to how things went.

!!! HOT OFF THE PRESSES !!!
An Update.
Well, I re-installed SU to C:\Program Files (x86)\DEVELOP\SketchUp 13 and Ruby to C:\Program Files (x86)\DEVELOP\Ruby193 and voila!! Joint Push Pull and Tools on Surface both popped up their toolbars when I opened up SU.

Who'd have thunked a little apostrophe could cause so much hassle!

That would never of crossed my mind as I've been 'apostrophising' install paths and file names since Jesus left Kilmarnock (a.k.a a very long time) with no issues. Strange how the parenthesis as in (x86) get ignored!

Still having problems with the svg importer (the error message shows one oblique and one straight comma) but I'll post about that in the correct place.

Many many thanks to you cotty and TIG for your help. I'd have got nowhere without it.

Happy new year and thank you very much !

Hello Fredo

Does it possible to keep a multiple selection result of a JPP for another "Joint Push Pull" ?

CTRL seems don't working!

If not does exist a plugin for a "circular selection" ?
Will be cool in this case (for select all vertical faces) and many other cases!
A general circular selection will be sufficient with the help of the Inverse Selection existing!

On the right one result wanted...sor many other JPP are missing!

numerobis

did you try to recall the last selection?
http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=tt_selection_memory

pilou

No! I will try that!

But Circular selection wiil be also a cool thing for another thing if possible!

pilou

@numerobis
I have used the Thomthom Recall last selection but alas that can't work in this case because of course it's a new selection never yet selected!

Ben Ritter

Fredo, thank you!!!!

pilou

Seems you can make something with the Taper function inside the plugin?
But seems you don't escape to make an intersection and some delete!

would love if anyone could give an alternate solution

if you have the Pro seems boolean solids Difference will be fine ?
