[Plugin] Skin.rb
-
Hi, Darrel:
What a surprise! Welcome back!
Take some time and read what's been happening since you went "AWOL".
I realize you probably had some other priorities with school, etc.Darrel, apparently there was some glitch between the versions that were made available, where either the icons or the menu commands did not get set in the SU interface or whatever. This, I believe is just the vagaries of Ruby. You can probably read about it in this thread, or just search keyword "skin".
Still, an amazing concept.
Hope you hear from others here.
Best wishes, mitcorb -
it would be great if this script could join a line to a point, as well as a line to a line.
or is there something that already does that?

To do that use EEbyRails - use the profile curve as the 'line' and the 2 'rails' can be any shape curves - the 2 meeting at the point - even straight lines - reuse the profile as the final 'melding-profile'. Then the profile extrudes along the rails to the point...

great thanks

uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh how do you install it

How do you install what? Skin? EEbyRails?
Look at the first post under the subject heading. Find a link to an .rb file or .zip file.
Right click on the link. Select "Save link as". A "Save As" interface window will open. Make sure the name and type of file in the interface window boxes at the bottom are consistent with the file type( rb, rbs, zip, or even rar). If you see a php extension, you have not captured the selected file correctly. Close and try again, you may have temporarily lost the connection to the target.(by my experience) Maybe even navigate away from the thread and return later and see if the appropriate file extension appears as stated above.If you are successful, then on Windows, save it to the Sketchup Plugins folder. If it is a zip file or rar file, unzip it in the folder. Right click on the file, select Winzip or your favorite rar expander, select "unzip to here". This will deploy the contents to the plugin folder. Sketchup will not automatically update. You must close Sketchup and reopen it after expanding the zipped file. Same with rb files, except they are not zipped, they are ready when placed in the folder, but you still need to restart Sketchup.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation. -

Yea, that worked for me to, just unsubscribe, resubscribe, tell them I'm leaving, And Unsubscribe!
. And as for the script, here's version 1.8 with connecting faces mostly working now. And tell me if the upload didn't go well.When i download it all it does is goes to the notepad. I cant save it or open it or anything

If you open it with Notepad, you can still "save as..." with the correct name and rb extension to the proper folder.
Even better; just right click on the link and do not open but "save as..."

Hello, ArchitectBoy, and to all this family in Sketchucation.
First, hitting them thank you for the wonderful work that you accomplish.
I like Sketchup.
I have read all of the messages in this after, and at the end I almost get lost .
Where this ArchitectBoy?
At last I see somebody appearing, thanks.
I would like to do one of his plugins's translations to Spanish, and to be able to present her to in his name Sketchando..! ( unofficial Sketchup's forum of the Hispanic talks )
I expect his answer, and having nothing else to say, a cordial greeting.
P.D. pardon for my bad English.

It seems to me that an error in the line has 256
I change skinm.add_item("Skin") {Skin} for skinm.add_item("Skin") {prep}
It was out of service Tools\Skin\Skin

Yes, you can safely remove skin.rb. It was a nice plugin at its time but now Curviloft (and also other plugins) can do more and nicer.
