Don't want notification for makefaces

john2

While using the makefaces plugin, I get notifcation about the stats upon completion of the command. I have to press ok everytyime which I find irritating. Can I tweakt the rb file so that this popup doesn't come and the command is done quickly?

There are several other [newer] face making scripts, which don't have that report popping up at the end...
But, if you want to stick with Todd Burch's version... edit the file makefaces.rb with Notepad.exe, or a similar plain-text editor [not a wordprocessor]: add # in front of the offending code - i.e. the line starting UI.messagebox...., save it and restart SketchUp...
No more dialog !

Personally I use one by an obscure plugin author called Add faces http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=addfaces

I added # before two lines having that ui messagebox

Now when I start sketchup I get this error

Error Loading File makefaces.rb

I don't like 'to blow my own trumpet' [too much!]

Sorry about that... the odd way Todd set up his string is "multi-line"...
So # rem out the second messagebox's lines like this:

#UI.messagebox("makefaces.rb; Copyright 2004-2006 Burchwood USA."        <<
                  #"\nVersion 1.2   May 14,2006."                    << 
                  #"\n\nThere were " << total_items.to_s << " selected items."   <<
                  #"\n\nThere were " << notAnEdge.to_s << " non-Edge selected items."   <<
                  #"\nThere were " << (total_items-notAnEdge).to_s << " Edges selected."   <<
                  #"\n\nThere were " << x.to_s << " face(s) added."       <<  
                  #"\nThe process lasted; "<< elap, MB_MULTILINE, "Make Faces Statistics")

Thanks for advising me a great plugin by TIG sir. Thanks for the trumpet . That plugin of TIG sir is way much better and doesn't blow the trumpet of notification about how many faces were made, lines, stats and all the useless stuff for ordinary user like me.
