Frame-It works but alas no Deck - BuilderDid you trying quitting and restarting SketchUp after installing it?

Thanks sdmitch, this is a great time saver. As for code compliant, that it builds it close enough works just fine, then adjustments can be made for compliance.
Would it be possible to create the same sub directories for posts and rails?

[ Dave R]"Did you trying quitting and restarting SketchUp after installing it?"
Yes and rebooted computer as well
-
did you go to the extensions area and do the install? Do you not see deckbuilder at all in the sdm menu?

Yes it is there but no luck and as stated the Frame-It works fine
Thanks -
Do you use internet explorer? dump your cookies and cache from IE.

Thanks again; did it no luck. "sdmitch" has my error message hopefully some resolution soon.

The problem is not yours, it's mine. I stupidly created and saved the components in V14 format which V8 or V13 cant handle.
If you are a non-V14 user wait until I update the post before downloading the plugin.
-
A new copy of the Deck_Builder.rbz file has been uploaded to the Plugin Store. If you are a V8 or a V13 user, please download a new copy of the file and re-install.

Excellent!
Of course with Random Painter by Chris Fullmer!
Amazing that you can choose any "horizontal !" surface!
-
Well done!
-
Sam, you're really coming up with some great time savers!!
I've always thought a handrail / fence plugin would be neat. Haven't tried this deck builder plugin yet but IMO, a deck builder tool should be for the deck and a railing plugin should be what you use next....
Would work off centre lines, select start point and trace around the profile of the railing then input post [square or round], size and height then spacing along the same lines and what you've done here.....
Love seeing your work, mate!

Update 19-Jun-2014 - Added 3 selectable posts and railing to steps. Fixed deformed posts on curved sections.

sdmitch, great plugin, last version worked well for me except on curves, this new version doesn't work for me at all, no matter how I draw the face when I execute the plugin, it hangs for a bit then just reverses the face. Windows 7, IE 11, Sketchup 2014 Pro

If the face is reversed, the plugin has at least partially ran so run it with the Ruby Console open and see where and/or what is causing it to fail.
There was a change in the folder where the posts and spindles are so, if you only copied the new plugin to the Plugins folder instead of doing the normal extensions install, that could be the problem.

Very cool!

The quality control director has been fired for not sufficiently testing in metric units.
Problem has been fixed. Maybe.
