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

You should never use special characters in path names!

in your case: '13...

@tig said:

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'.

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

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?

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 ?

And it's maybe more tricky to make a thickness with The JPP !
You will obtain more easily that you want!

Dave R

Another thing to consider is that changing the order in which you do things might change the outcome. Pilou's second example shows that with his opening drawn before the wall is given thickness. An alternative might be as shown below.

Or maybe you break the thing down into a single copy of the repeating element and, once you've drawn it, copy that as needed.

Hello Fredo, You mention the need of LibFredo6 5.4 (the most recent available as of now) for JointPshPull, but I get the message ''need library 55 or higher'' on startup, and the plugin will not work. Where can we get LibFredo6 5.5 ?

Thanks CC

You could try this thread: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=17947 but you should really install the Sketchucation Plugin Store and auto-install plugins.

I've installed the latest version and still have no luck with the new joint push pull in Windows 8.1. The old joint push pull still functions. I have a similar problem with AMD 7700 video card with latest updated driver and the following installed
extensions:SketchUcation
3DxSketchUp
BezierSpline
Dialog
Bulge
Push
Smooth
Smudge
Grab
Planar Lock
Arcs Circles
Fredo6 LibFredo6
Fredo6 Curviloft
Fredo6 Curvizard
Fredo6 FredoScale
Fredo6 Fredo Tools
Fredo6 JointPushPull
Fredo6 Round Corner
Fredo6 Tools on Surface
JointPushPull
quarr_jsalign
s4u-AlignTool
STL Import & Export
CleanUp³
TT_Lib²
Edge Tools²
Solid Inspector

Any suggestions?

TIG

You have the new AND old versions of JointPushPull listed.
Disable the older one and restart and see if that helps.
If so, then remove its .rb file permanently from the Plugins folder: it is not normally meant to load side by side with the newer 'Fredo...' version.

Incidentally, what exactly are these listed items ?

Dialog Bulge Push Smooth Smudge Grab Planar Lock

I assume you do mean Extensions rather than Plugins ?
What does their description say ??

Also giving us info in your SCF User Profile - about your OS and SketchUp version helps us help you

fredo6

For info, the old and new versions of Joint Push Pull can safely coexist.
And all my plugin are enabled as active extension by default and have their Toolbar visible by default at first installation.

I think the problem comes from a wrong installation, and anyway should be clarified by BruceG. What is the problem exactly?

the plugin does not appear
There is an error message at startup of Sketchup
JPP 3.2 does crash or does nothing when launched,
etc...

Without this information, it is difficult to assist.

To Undo, you can freely use Ctrl-Z within the plugin, or click on the Orange backtrack Arrow in the button palette.

To redo, select the faces you want to push-pull and just double click
