Angles in Degrees
-
Hi Kristoof,
Thanks for asking.
I have downloaded and installed surveytool.rb, but it will only turn an angle of ninety degrees regardless of what numbers I input. I tried tuning off angle snaps, downloading and reinstalling the script, but it continues to insist on drawing lines at ninety degrees only. Any ideas?
Also, it doesn't appear to draw curves.
Thanks again,
Bill

you prolly need to go into your file preferences and change the angle tolerance from 5 degrees to .1 or .01
try that and come back if it doesn't work.

Kristoff,
I don't see anything in Preferences that relates to setting angles. Under Windows - Model Info - Units, there is a place to set Angle Units - Precision, which I have set for 0.000 and I turned off Angle Snapping there as well. Still the problem persist. Sounds like there may be a bug in this script. Is this script working for you?

Hey Kristoff,
This is in reference to the link u posted:
http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/en_arc_page.htmThere are a lot of awesome tools here that i really could use but every time i click on one of the links it directs me to a page containing the ruby script.... i could copy this into a text editor but how do i convert that into a ruby script?! I really dont know much about scripting so i'd really appreciate it if u could clear this one out fer me...
Thanx a million!!

Right click on the ruby script and save target as...
Save it here:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\PluginsThen open SketchUp and start using your Rubies. Really simple.
Cheers.

be sure not to save a ruby script in apps like MS Word or the like since they add formatting and basically render the ruby useless. if you feel you have to open and edit something, do so with an app like notepad (simple text editor).

oh hey im sorry i think i dint xplain the problem clear enough.... the thing is wenever i click on any one the links to rub scripts in "http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDep ... c_page.htm" it directs me to a page wich contains just text.... so after i copy all this text onto notepad how do i convert it from a ".txt" file to a ".rb" file before i copy it into the plug-ins folder?!
thanx again!!

Simply just save as "rubyname.rb" i.e. just type the .rb extension after the name of the ruby (always save the ruby with the same name it originally has for it needs to get loaded and at the end of the script it even refers to this name).
