Fix it? FIX IT??? It's perfect already

@jean-franco said:

you have to change the default parameter (1000mm) to a smaller value or draw a bigger circle.

Yes, I knew that but just wanted to see what would happen with the randomly sized circle I drew.

Still a fascinating result!

Just loaded this plugin for the first time. I drew a circle and, using the default parameters, clicked to proceed and got this

Not sure what it is, but it sure neat Black hole generator maybe.

Now on to more serious testing.

Dear Bob,

This might be the problem:

http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20004&p=166225&hilit=Draw+taper#p166225

I think the last two posts are relevant.

I'm hoping that's the solution because I have that plugin at work but not here at home. However I did do the search for UI.BEEP and nothing showed up. Does spotlight search the interior of plugins?

Many thanks Chris and Bob

Thank you very kindly for that. My ears appreciate it.

Amen

Hi Bob
at then end of the first post in this 3D there's the attachment with the new Libraries

Egads!! Was that there all the time. Arrrggghhh.

Once I got over the fun of trying latticeizer, I realized it had a very practical use for me:

My job involves design modifications for space vehicle launch facilities. In one of the facilities a launch vehicle is stacked vertically for testing prior to launch. That facility has several platforms that conform to the shape of the launch vehicle. Those platforms are made of steel ribbing with a steel plate welded to the top. Each platform may have a different size "hole" in it. Modeling these has been a chore: not a big chore, but time consuming. With Latticeizer the job becomes much easier.

The picture shows three phases of the modeling using latticizer:

1. Draw the 2D shape of the ribs
2. Run latticeizer
3. Put on a diamond no-slip pattern
4. Add fittings for folding
5. Duplicate it and flip it over

Unfortunately, latticeizer does not always work as expected. Sometimes the entire group just disappears, other times only parts of the group extrude and I spend a lot of time trying to "fix" it. One of the more benign examples is shown.

But, when it works it really is handy.

The attachment at the bottom of the first post.

Maybe I should change my user name to "Dumb and Dumber".

The only thing at the bottom of the first post "[Plugin RoundCorner 2.0a - 9 Jul 09]" was
RoundCorner 2.0a and Quickcard RoundCorner - English - v2.0.pdf.

At the top of that post was:
"RoundCorner .......requires you also upgrade to LibFredo6 3.2a or higher. See that post at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=17947#p144178".

That took me to this post where there is no LibFredo6 3.2a download

I can find no place to download 3.2a

… Bottom of first post of this thread.

Clicking on that just takes me back the same page

I can find no place to download 3.2a

Got it - thank you CadFather. Now I see why it would be nice to have a ruby to get the same dialog.

Urrrgggggh

Don't have housebuilder and did a search for UI::BEEP and UI.BEEP with no success (thanks anyway Thomas).

I am loath to go through 67 plugins so I guess I'll just mute my MacPro: strange, though, I don't get the beep at home on my iMac (guess I should do a comparison of plugins).

All of a sudden I've started getting a "ding" sound when I click on an object. It's not an option in "Preferences" so I don't know what could have turned this "feature" on. Anyone have a clue?

@cadfather said:

thanks mitcorb, the image you see is from the component attributes panel.

you can access it by right-clicking a component > if you click on scale you will see that you can disable the handles on the 'diagonal sides'. that way you only scale up, down, left or right but... not obliquely (fingers crossed..)

"component attributes panel" I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but what is this?
When I right click on a component selected for scaling I get only the usual flyout - not that neat option panel. It would be really nice to be able to select just x-y. I'm obviously totally green on this area

(tested only on PC - unzip the contents to your plugins folder)

Works on Mac except the toolbar doesn't "stick" - have to use View/Toolbars each time SU loads.

This is an older version of the Skin folder that has six icons in it that results in three being shown with skin26.rb.
Note that "Smooth" is unavailable (no other choice).

@bob james said:

This was done with skin26 on MacPro.

The Skin folder has four icons in it.

I might add that it took several tries to get the result shown (all sorts of weird results).

@unknownuser said:

I would just like a clear separation between pay and no pay. I am suggesting that product announcements continue but in their own unique space. This in fact would make new products easier to find and would keep them away from the member/user motivated posts related to product reviews.

@thomthom said:

I like that idea.

Works for me

@christian_dl said:

Because on OSX, Skin doesn't work at all since v23.

This was done with skin26 on MacPro. There's no smoothing and there's one icon not showing (but it works - preferences). On my iMac at home all three icons show.

The Skin folder has four icons in it.

Convert into Components - Converts all the group copies into components. Transformation and materials will be transferred.
Useful for when you have a model where groups where used instead of components.

Wow! Really useful.

Alas! When I load select_toys.rb it does not appear in the plugins dropdown
