[Plugin][$] JointPushPull Interactive - v4.9a - 02 Apr 25

[BorgMan]

Sorry Fredo, I'm trying as hard as you say, but it just won't work. Furthermore, I don't know how long I'm supposed to long-click as the help box says, but that's not working for me either, as does click-release and, as mentioned, the VCB's stubborn inability to listen to which values I enter. It only looks at how far I pulled out the shape and then ignores any entered values when I press Enter. I reinstalled the old JPP toolset and that one works just as you said, without so much of a hickup

On the other hand, it might have something to do with my install. Check this out: whenever I try to make a regular arc [1] and let it tangent [2], it breaks up my arch into its loose edges [3]. Ofcourse, this sucks, because a Follow Me command will result in the shape that I let it follow to be broken up as well, which would result in a lot of repair work and I don't want that, ofcourse.. But when don't let it tangent, the resulting line stays uninterupted, except at places where it crosses another line (duh) [4]. Sooo... Anyone else who had this here little problem?

By the by, I got this error when opening SketchUp. Does this help out?

That is most likely because you have not updated to SketchUp v2014M1 which fixes a known issue.
In SketchUp v2014M0 PC if you launch SketchUp by opening a SKP that is on a drive other than the drive where SketchUp.exe is located then it messes the S: list.
Thus the Ruby2 stuff never gets loaded and tools like the SCFapi that rely on some functions fail.

You should find that starting SketchUp from the menu and then opening a SKP does NOT create this issue.
There is a fix rb file that went into Tools and sorted the $: out, BUT simply installing SketchUp v2014M1 is advisable, as it also fixes a few other glitches under the hood.

I have

It is really helpful in modeling which gives more precise and flexible design, indeed.
Many thanks to the author: Fredo.

As you can see in the picture ,I can not pull this face Properly.

Well, to start with, you've got some reversed faces. Instead of fixing them, you've tried to mask them by making the front and back faces the same color. That's not the right way to take care of the problem. Correct the face orientation and try again.

Then try scaling up by maybe 100 to avoid smaller faces.

[Box]

Apart from the reversed faces that Dave has pointed out, you have a layer other than Layer0 as the active layer, always keep 0 active, keep all raw geometry on Layer0 and only place groups or components on other layers. Also your linework is bad. Your edges are rough and don't form clean curves.

[Dave R]

Indeed! And as is typical of computer stuff, GIGO applies here.

[Box]

Just a couple of examples to show you what you need to fix.

"Dave R" & "Box" Thanks for your help ...
revers and oriant face does not affect the performance of jointP&P plugin.

Yes, I agree my linework is bad but in bad line plugin good working !
I have tried many different ways But according to the your advice I still was not able to reach my goal.Another way to tell if it is possible ...

Is not this a bug in the plugin?

[Dave R]

It would be nice to blame the plugin because your bad line work is causing the problem, wouldn't it?

[Box]

It's not a fault with the plugin, it is attempting to follow what you have drawn.

Get everything on the same layer and clean up your geometry and the plugin works.
I've no idea how you drew it in the first place but perhaps it would be easier to start again and get the geometry right rather than trying to repair it.

[littleche]

This problem was solved! Thank you for your help ... my worklin was very bad .I got to practice tips that you said and Finally I drew a good workline with tools on surface plugin and jointpull&push It's nice to end.

and Again, thanks ...

[Box]

Well done.
Learning to get your structure right in the first place is far better for you than getting a plugin to work.

Hello - I've been using the old version of JPP for some time - its awesome. Recently tried to install the newest version via SketchUcation tools in SU 2014.

I see the toolbar, however, clicking on any button/tool in the JPP toolbar doesn't do anything, it just defaults to the tool I had selected prior.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Mike

Did you update LibFredo to version >=6.3? Are there error messages in the ruby console?

[fredo6]

@mvsuriano,

Could you open the Ruby Console before clicking on the JPP icon, in case there are error messages displayed

HI Fredo - turns out I do have an error. I did update to FredoLib 6.3a prior to install. This is the error I get.
