[Plugin] TIG-Fracture

Dependencies: Pro

Ah! curious maybe because that use some solids functions

TIG

Here's v3.0 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Fracture
It now has three options to set constraints for the splitting around the XYZ axes, 0 to 1.
The nearer to 0 the 'flatter' the split on that axis.
With all three set to 1 it's entirely random.
Play with their interrelationships to see the effects.
Also now there are three 'Form' options:

Stacked - all parts left in place
Exploded - all parts from the center
Scaled - each part by ~90% to leave gaps
If a non-Stacked Form is chosen it is separately undo-able.
All of the Fragmentation is now undo-able in one step.

Excellent....

Another request that if there's materials in the model you can choose which material get assigned to the faces sliced faces?

Something like only horizontal and vertical fractures!

TIG

Here's v4.0 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Fracture It now has slightly different options.
The 'Size' for the two parts is now 0.01 to 0.5 [1 to 50%].
The XYZ axes options are now better described as 'Variance'.
A 'Jitter' option has been added [0 to 1].

If an XYZ Variance is set to 0 then the splitting is done parallel to those axes.
The Jitter affects the randomness of the splitting plane.
Any Jitter is ignored if all XYZ Variances are 0.

Nice!

Any chance of material support?

This is a crazy tool!

if you pre-paint the group it inherits the material...

not on the sliced faces. i was hoping i could load a material onto the cut face based on materials in current library.

TIG

Paint the faces within the group as desired [here RGB].
Paint the group itself [here Yellow].
Fracture the group.
The resultant pieces keep the RGB materials on any original faces, BUT any 'cut faces' will match the original group's material [Yellow]

The 'Download' button always links to the Plugin's current version in the PluginStore.
So the link in the first post is the same as the one in the last update post.
They all take you to the same PluginStore entry.
I simply thinks it's better to put a link in any update post. as it obviates the need for you to find the link in the first post or search the PluginStore...
Anyway, enjoy playing with it

Hey Tig. I just started to use fracture, and I really like the plugin.

I do have one question. Has the Exploded or Scaled functionality been removed? Neither one is working for me. I am using SU 2017 Pro x64 on a AMD 8-core 4.0 GHz, 16GB RAM, Win 7 x64 SP1.

The above is what comes up in the Ruby Console.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, and rewarded with cookies.

TIG

They changed the way entities are referenced in v2017.
Which causes issues with exploded objects.
I suspect this is the cause...
It is an older script and is marked as compatible <=v2014 although I'd expect it to work up to v2016.
I am pretty busy but I'll look at it when I can...

TIG

Here's v5.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Fracture
It's now compatible with all SketchUp versions >=v8, including the latest v2017.
It's now signed for full compatibility with all Extension Loading Policies in the newer SketchUp versions, and also it's now made into an Extension.
