[Plugin] FloorGenerator ( Updated 6-Apr-2017)

[Pixero]

Here is what the console reports:

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `to_l' for nil;NilClass>
C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;93;in `dialog'
C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;67;in `initialize'
C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;34;in `new'
C;/Users/31jsa/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/SDM_FloorGenerator_WD.rb;34;in `block in <top (required)>'
-e;1;in `call'

As a side note, would it be possible to have a setting for bevel size?
Like if I want half or even a quarter of the size of the bevel.
And some min and max distance of the random imperfections?
I think both are a litte too big for most cases.

The error is occurring when the defaults are being read so use the "Reset" option first and hopefully that will clear up the problem.

I will consider your request as time permits.

I think there is a bug in the newest verision. On a rectangle it was complaining about non planar faces, even though this was off a box with sketchup box primitive.

Reverting back a version, I was then able to generate a wooden pattern on the same object.

I have experienced the same problem with wood on vertical faces. I can't imagine why but will try to sort it out.

Thanks for the heads up

[sdmitch]

Problem has been fixed. Quality control and testing director has been severely punished.

No problem. Thank YOU for such a cool plugin. Can't release images now, but having fun decorating inside of a cafe with wooden panels everywhere. I recommend everyone your plugins.

Hello,
i would design a special ground with your plugin

here 3 pictures

is this possible with your plugin?

Translation for the picture

A: Big Corner Part
B: Sidewalk Main Part
C Small Corner Part
Bishop's cap

measure in cm

25cm=9.8425in
35cm=13.7795in
49,5cm=19.4881in

Gap 1cm=0.3937in

This is a part of a typical sidewalk in Berlin

here a german wiki page

Thank you

It might be possible, in part at least, for a perfect size face but doubtful for a random size face. I'll see what I can do.

that would be great,
if you need a sketchup file i can send this via PM

can i use this in a curve,too?

thank you dean

Please do. I hate trying to guess.

[deaneau]

Suggestion for different Texture Packs.

what do you think about different texture pack.

in the texture folder i have different folders with diferent textures.
this could be selected via dropdown.

thank you Dean

[deaneau]

Hallo is this possible?
green arrows mean only this direction(s) i want

selected multiple face doing this in one step

here what i have choose in preferences

the wall in the backbround is a curved object.

the result is this

reason could be that a curved face is splitted in smaller face like this

the wall part i want produce have an exact width of 1200mm (3' 11")
or have anybody an other solution?

download this file here

the curved face havn´t the exaxt width
thank you

Sorry but FloorGenerator only works on faces not surfaces. Even if hidden geometry is not displayed, when you pick a point on the surface you select just one of the faces that make up the surface.

You could create a face with the overall dimensions of the surface. Then use Shape Bender to produce the curved surface after applying the tile pattern. A bit of work but all I can offer at this time.

yes this i have try before i asking here, with Fredo Scale ( Radial Bending)

what you mean is Chris Fullmer Shape Bender.

i have never tried it before.

ok, this work.

now i have a problem. the segments have not the exact lenght.

your plugin AddPts2Curve was my help, to see where on the curve is the 1,2m point and the next etc.

I will try step by step all your plugins.
Helper like plugins will every time be welcome.

thank you

@sdmitch Its the first time I see HTML code embedded in a Ruby script. Thanks for not using .rbs
It gives me some confidence and a template to redo some of my scripts incorporating HTML.

Finally I have an example & see how with HTML I can place pictures next to my drop-down boxes.

cheers!

That's the way I learned what little I know.

Hello Sam,

is it possible to insert the feature that tiles is grouped?

actually if i generate a floor i have only a main group.

when tiles is grouped i can do random rotate with mover2.

this will look a little bit more inperfect.

in mover i can use random rotation in x,y or z axis and can insert the degree by value.

thank you

Do you mean each individual brick is a group?

That is what the "Random Imperfections" option is for. That feature was fixed and enhanced in the last update on 21-Sep

this will look a little bit more inperfect.

in mover i can use random rotation in x,y or z axis and can insert the degree by value.

thank you

Dean

i have seen your plugin "Random Rotation".
in this plugin you could insert 3 checkmarks for x y z-axis.

so i have the control for axis. actually looks that the rotation work in all axis.

like this

[deaneau]

the random inperfection rotate in all axis.. some times i would have only a rotation in z-axis. a value in degree is helpful.
when all tiles would be in own group..so i could work with mover2 and in the last step ungroup this tiles.

ungrouping go faster than grouping if i have tiles more than 1000+ .

thank you
