[Plugin] EdgeInspector - v1.2a - 12 Oct 14

floriane_mvdb

Hello Fredo 6, thank you for this plugin that seems to be really awesome!

I don't know if it's the good place to ask for some help using this tool, didn't find any subject about it in the forum.. The problem is that everytime i try to fix the defects calculated in Edge Inspector, i get the same error message saying : error during inspection, Cannot convert argument to Sketchup::Point3d (with a list of errors)
What could i do to solve the problem ?

Thank you

In order for me to help, could you post or send me the error full text, either as a copy paste, or by exporting the file as a txt.
Could you also tell me which correction tool(s) you were using.
I may also need the model, incase I do not see the problem from the error log.

Thanks

Empty window.

Greetings,

When I select some edges and apply the Edgeinspector tool I have an empty window with no content:

What could be wrong here (except the problem between my chair and a screen)?
Thank you in advance.

Hello Fredo,

It is quite strange, the image is visible on my equipment:

@pipinek,

There must be a bug. Could you please open the Ruby Console before launching EdgeInspector and tell me the error you see.

Thanks

Fredo

Thanks Fredo for your reaction,

Here is the result, well no result at all. The Ruby Console is empty.
I have launched RConsole, selected a rectangle and activated Edgeinspector tool.

PS
I have just noticed that on the other PC with apparently with the same plugin set and configuration (SU 2015) the plugin works well.
Bizarre. Is the any potential conflict to take into consideration?
If yes what shall I check?

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance Fredo.

fredo6

Did you try without edge preselection ?

Fredo

pipinek

Do you mean Whole Model?
Same results. Empty Edge Inspector box.

I have found the following in Ruby Console (I typed before several SU sessions: 'edgeinspector' - the Ruby Content has stil remained there):

edgeinspector
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method edgeinspector' for main:Object> <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

Finally I have managed it to work by a crazy chance.
I have change something in option shrink... by clicking on a tiny square. Now I have an option bar for each tool including Edge Inspector box content.

I have another issue with Drawalong tool though.
I cannot assign a letter/keyboard shortcut to it.
Any combination I have tried (my prefered a letter D) when typed it opens a web browser with a youtube page with instruction video.

Is there any solution to the issue, any possibility to have a key shortcut to Drawalong tool?

I think that in the Preferences - Short Cut dialog box, you filter with "DrawAlong". This shows the Video menu.
You should filter with "Draw Along", with a space, which will display the main command.

Huge thanks.

It does work as you have described.
But you have to admit that its a too tricky for an everyman user. The tool name is DrawAlong (no space).

I will be aware such possibilities in the future.

Best regards with my gratitude for your responses.

fredo6

Glad it works now.
Actually, the best is to look first at the menu text and apply the filter accordingly.

Fredo

pipinek

Indeed this is the best way.
Alas, I am not the one.

Thank you once more for your assistance and your marvellous works.

Bonjour,
Edge Inspector v3.3b semble ne pas fonctionner correctement sur SU 2019 (Installé depuis SketchUcation).
Au lancement de l'outil, la fenêtre affichée est incomplète, tel que le montre la capture d'écran jointe.
J'ai désinstallé FredoTools, puis réinstallé sans succès.
Je joins également le rapport de la console Rubis, en espérant que cela aide.
D'avance merci pour toute aide.

Thanks for advising. I fixed it in FredoTools v3.3c. This is actually an incompatibility introduced with the new version of Ruby that is shipped with SU2019.

Effectivement, la version 3.3b fonctionne parfaitement dans SU 2018, mais je viens d'installer la version 3.3c dans SU 2019, et tout est rentré dans l'ordre.
Encore un grand MERCI pour la rapidité de cette mise à jour, et pour l'ensemble de votre travail.

Could not detect and/or fix these tiny gaps in diagonal lines. See attached file (screen shot). What am I doing wrong?

May be normal, or maybe not....

In the screenshot and SU model, in terms of EdgeInspector defects, what are these "spaces" in the diagonal lines called (tiny gaps, lost junctions, etc.)?
