Fredo is generous.
Thank you.

really powerful tool. thank you very much.

Thank you Rich O'Brien!
But the weld draw doesnt work by me.
It always start from the origin point so I can't draw the line I want.
Can you tell how to fix it?

perfect!
thank you so much!

I tested it just now, it seems this ruby is still not very stable?
It couses frequently sketchup errors and the program quits automatically everytime. Sometimes even when I was just do simple round corner on two sides, not to mention other more complicated objects. Perhaps that's only my problem due to my PC or some other personal settings? I don't know.

But fredo I think you can make it better.

It seems you are one of the users who get a bugsplat with SU7 (even with simple geometry).
Would you mind to refer to this link http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20485&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p171844, use the modified file and report the txt.

I am unable to reproduce the bugsplat in my environments (actually I never got a splat when writing and testing teh plugin), so I need users getting it to give me some hints on where it could come from.

Thanks

Fredo

Thank you for you reply.
hier is the first error report I got.

I have not tried this jet, but I am sooooooo exited that I must say something first!
I've been waiting this for ages.

Edit
I tested it just now, it seems this ruby is still not very stable?
It couses frequently sketchup errors and the program quits automatically everytime. Sometimes even when I was just do simple round corner on two sides, not to mention other more complicated objects. Perhaps that's only my problem due to my PC or some other personal settings? I don't know.

PS.
I tested it in sketchup 6 again (just now was in skechup 7), and it works nicely.
so I can imagine that the ruby still has some conflicts with sketchup 7.
But fredo I think you can make it better.

Am I missing something? There are 4 items you show on your first post that are blank on my toolbar. The icons for them are not even in the projection folder inside the zip file. I am confused.

Here, all the buttons, change the folder from the archive of "Projection"

No they are still not "all the buttons" compared to the latest update in first page. There are at least three buttons missing.
It seems Didier Bur has updated the .rb but forgotten to change the folder. You can get all the buttons loaded because your .rb is not the latest one.

@unknownuser said:

I see all the buttons, but agree that the surface is not smoothed

What you have is not the latest version...so you can get or the buttons loaded.

The latest version updated on 3. July is missing buttons.
So waiting for Didier Bur.

thank you very much Didier Bur
but you have probably forgotten to add the new images for the new buttons of the latest update. they are missing...

Great! BTM, thank you.
Can you make it capable for snaping points such als construction points and lines?

No tutorial?

@unknownuser said:

Yup . ..this is a much easier way to bend steel.

But the model you pasted can also be created easily without shape bender.

Great!!!
Maybe even better if one can define the segment number by himself.

Thank you very much Fredo!

But it seems that the streching tool doesn't work on cylinders.

Thank you very much Chris.

A suggestion: If the faces are triangle, I wish your skript still can put the components onto the centroids of them.

the same skript with protrude.rb?

I've been waiting for this tool for a while.

Thanks.

But there is something wrong:

It does not really follow the path, see attached files.

And sometimes SU quite.

OSX 10.4 SU6

I think it will be no problem if you make the path in the middle of the profile instead at one side of it.

It would be really cool if sketchup can do sweep 2.
I think it's the most powerful modeling tool in rhino.

@cad addict said:

Hi,
It doesn't seem to work with straight paths. If the path I use is a curve it works, if it is a straight line it doesn't do anything. Is that how it is supposed to work?

you can divide a line into many segments and then weld them again.

It works!

Hello Whaat,
I bought the plugin just now and I'm happy to have the excellent tool in my sketchup.
But I also found a problem while using it.
If I have a closed path （rectangular for example）and use the "follow me" tool, the result I get is NOT closed but open at one point. It doesn't work either even when I weld them into a polyline.
