[Plugin][$] ThruPaint - v2.6a - 15 Oct 24

@fredo6
I tried it for testing.

Sketchup 2021 version with D5 + Thrupaint old version (old version with menu bar on top without new window)
I did the same in the above situation.

When I pressed the Thrupaint button, nothing came out of the Ruby console at the time.
Even the loading speed is fast!!! Important!!!

However, when I color certain sides, the same message as before appears on the Ruby console.
However, the results come out well, and the speed is still high.

In conclusion, I think the content that appears on the Ruby Console has nothing to do with the loading speed.

fredo6

The old version of ThruPaint is something different (it does not have a material browser integrated).

Do you remember in you did something in your environemnt 2 weeks ago?

Also, does the problem happen with any model?

Could you try to deactivate D5 Render and see if ThruPaint 2.4a behaves better.

madrhyno

@fredo6

I deleted D5 Live sync and tried again.

No message appears on the Ruby console now.

However, the slow loading speed is still the same.

It's still slow in the 2024 version + the latest version of thrupaint

It's fast in the old version of 2021+thrupaint.

@fredo6
As I told you at first, loading time is not long in a sketchup project with a small number of materials.

And when I use the old version -thrupaint- in a project that had a problem with a long loading time, the problem disappears.

Wouldn't the "material browser integrated" you mentioned make loading time longer in projects with a lot of materials?

kdewinter

@fredo6 thanks for pointing this out

fredo6

The material loading and updating is normally only done once (and then material information is cached) but it may take time if you have a lot of materials.

By the way, to avoid that ThruPaint discovers new custom materials for some models, the best is to declare your custom materials to Thrupaint, basically designating the root directory where your materials are located as a set of .skm files.

@fredo6
The license purchase page for Thrupaint says it's for Visuhole. Is this just a typo? I already own Visuhole.

Rich O Brien

@jkoll66 I'd say its a typo in the php. I'll let @Gabor know about it

If you decide to purchase and you still end up with a Visuhole license send an email to support@sketchucation.com

@Rich-O-Brien

It was just a typo. All's good. Thanks!

Re: [Plugin][$] ThruPaint - v2.4a - 02 Apr 24

Hi @fredo6 ,

I had an issue with thruPaint with the object painter not working. I updated LibFredo and now I cant get the window to open, only the top bar when i hit TAB. Prior to updating LibFredo I had the option to activate ThruPaint when invoking the paint bucket tool twice, and my bet is that if I could reset to factory settings my issue would be solved, but without being able to open the window, I cant access the extension settings. My guess is that setting preference is stored in some AppData file somewhere and I need to delete it.

I've tried uninstalling all Fredo extensions and LibFredo, then uninstalling LibFredo then the rest one by one, restarting Sketchup each time, but can't get it to work.

@fredo6 I managed to solve the problem. I uninstalled Sketchup, then manually deleted all associated Sketchup folders from Program Files, AppData/Local and AppData/Roaming, rebooted, reinstalled everything and now it works properly.

I was Incorrect. The problem is back. After restoring all my preferences and extensions it's no longer working again.

@artformoney said in [Plugin][$] ThruPaint - v2.4a - 02 Apr 24:

I finally actually solved the issue. For anyone else having this problem, the folder I needed to find was C:\Users...\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir. I uninstalled my Fredo6 plugins including LibFredo then deleted that folder. Then reinstalled my extensions.

*Adding some language below so maybe this post is more visible to search engines on this issue:
ThruPaint window missing. ThruPaint window closes automatically. ThruPaint window disappears.

Hi @fredo6 ,

Recently, I've been having issues with ThruPaint. I purchased a new version, but it’s not working as expected. I'm encountering two errors: one when I double-click,

Besides that, the extension acts inconsistently during other operations. The whole process can be seen in the youtube video linked below.

NEW RELEASE: ThruPaint v2.5b - 24 Sep 24

Requirements:

LibFredo6 14.6a

ThruPaint 2.5b is a release including:

Fix of a major bug introduced in v2.5a, creating unexpected errors

Home Page of ThruPaint for information and Download.

Main post of this thread.

fredo6

@miszcz

Could you try with ThruPaint v2.5b just released.

miszcz

@fredo6 Generally material manager is still stuck on “please wait” also Thrupaint is giving Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method delete_if' for nil:NilClass> after applying any material. Also, you cannot enter “edit mode” in face mode by double click and there is no material preview above the cursor. The only thing i noticed that have changed is actually a big one - that you can change modes in the “ribbon” after you closed and opened the plugin again which makes the plugin usable again.

fredo6

@miszcz
I think there is a general problem with your environment. If you get the message 'Plese Wait' forever, then ThruPaint may not work correctly.

Could you please:

Invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support. Just send me the outpout displayed in the Ruby Console
Tell me if the problem happens with any model, and say, in a new model
Send me the trace of the error Error: "#<NoMethodError: undefined method delete_if' for nil:NilClass>", so that I have the line number in .rb files.

jusbell82

I'm also seeing errors while using the plugin. I can pretty reliably recreate the issue by opening multiple models with ThruPain open, then switching between them. Once it has an error the plugin becomes unusable. I've also had it fail in other contexts, for example, working on a single model, but those are tougher to recreate reliably.
