[Plugin] Roof.rb

TIG

Why inexplicable?

Because I can't explain [explicate] it !

My original code was encrypted [a simple encryption, as used by Didier Bur too].
If that loads after Artisan then it has no menu BUT works from the Ruby Console [files load in alphanumeric order].
If you renamed it so it loaded before Artisan then it was fine... BUT then Artisan didn't load at all
I used a decrypted version that worked fine with Artisan, so I was unaware of the problem...
My own version had some minor coding tweaks BUT nothing I can see that should make it behave any differently to the encrypted one... There are almost 4,000 lines of code so I don't want to trawl all of them to find the possible culprit... there are no error messages to help and 'Roof' and 'Artisan' now work fine together with this version anyway...

This new 'unencrypted' & tweaked version works fine now - I recommend everyone to change to it...

Nice explication

My comedic timing must be a little off today...

Thanks very much for the update TIG.

SketchUpNoobie

Yep. The update seems to be working fine. Thanks.

Whaat

Thanks for updating the plugin, Tig. If you can figure out the problem, let me know. Maybe there is something I can change to fix this. I also have no idea what would cause this.

Thank U TIG!
This plugin will be appreciated as every thing else you created!
BRAVO!!!!

after some debugging at 2am I found the problem - scrambled scripts and pack eval encrypted scripts both return (eval) for FILE , so when tested with file_loaded? the one that gets loaded second it will not execute the block after (usually menu creation code)

workaround: use file_loaded("your_filename") or file_loaded("reverse URI")
eg file_loaded("roof.rb") or file_loaded("ro.plugins.drop")

Thanks TIG, much appreciated!!

Thanks for the info...OR we could just separate the menu code from the scrambled part so that it's not eval'd...

Thank U very much TIG. You made a great plugin even greater!

Not to be a pest but something isn't right. The "eaves soffit size" is resulting in erroneous dimensions on opposing sides. For instance I input and eaves soffit size of 24" all around but I wind up with 1'-9 3/16" on one side and 2'-2 1/2" on another. Another conflict perhaps or am I imagining things. Did this with a "new" skp as well. Any ideas? Thanks.

I assume this is with 'gable-roof' ?
The other tools all offset equally anyway ?
I can't reproduce any error...
On a hipped-roof the overhang is always equal too ?
Can you post a SKP that will give you the error [or PM it]...
I can't break it

TIG OK, here's a skp file that I just created. Looks like the gable roof comes out good but the hip and mansard result in the same overhang dimensions. This is all using default setting on the ruby.rb.

roof ruby test.skp

I can reproduce the problem using your example SKP.
Currently I am a complete loss to say why this might be happening...
I'll sleep on it and come back to you...

Thanks. I have a workaround which is using the old roof.rb in the tools directory. Got a house rendering job in today (first one in a while) which is why I just noticed this.

What version of 'old' Roof do you have that works OK ?
The 'new' version shouldn't differ [but clearly does ]

Right now 3.0. Which I put in the tools directory because it conflicts with Artisan. The one that isn't working correctly is your latest, 3.1, which I put away after I noticed the problem.

What makes that more puzzling is that v3.0 [encrypted] should be no different to v3.1 decrypted ?
The code hasn't be changed I just unscrambled it - but there IS clearly an effect...
I'll do more investigating...

Here's v3.2 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156

I've fixed the reversed face glitches in Hipped roof's fascias if the 'selected-face' was itself reversed.

The listed materials' now use their 'display_name' rather than their 'name'.

The offset_eaves code has been completely rewritten to correct the inexplicable irregularities in the soffit sizes produced in v3.1 - it was eventually easier to redo the code rather than try to find the underlying cause - now fixed anyway.

It also has a zip file of Help docs...

Please update.
