Hi all,
My latest plugin Windows Builder is now active on the Extensions Warehouse:
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6841
Below you can see some of its features:

Enjoy!

Yesssss ! Deleting all faces before using find_faces WORKS.
Thanks a lot TIG

Oh and iterating through the inner edges array and use edge.find_faces doesn't help...

@TIG

Thanks TIG.
Unfortunately intersect_with_instance doesn't work. I tried to insert short edges at intersections that are an issue, but this doesn't solve the problem either.
So next step is to compute everything 'virtually' (storing the inner edges (not as Sketchup::Edge)) in an array and drawing all edges at the end of the process.
I wonder why the API works OK at the top level of the model but doesn't do the same job in a group or component context...

Hi,

As you know, Sketchup.break_edges is always set to true by defaut.
My script generates several lines in a group context. As you will see in the animation, 2 lines crossing the face have been drawn but they are not break when the second one is drawn.
The resulting number of faces within the group is 2 instead of 4.
The resulting number of edges within the group is 10 instead of 12.
Running the script in a component context does the same.
Why that ?
I didn't find a workaround. Any idea ?

@ SU2024 and Door-Lintel users:

Hi,
I don't have SU2024 installed on my PC.
Maybe some developer (TIG ?) will update the plugin ?
So here it is.

This one will perhaps be useful to you:

@pipinek and freeagent:

Hi,
Take a look at this: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1284-dbur_ucsmanager_v1_0_0
Basically it's an 'axes manager' but besides that the 6 views can be changed absolute to the main axes or relatively to your custom set of axes.

Hi,

You can also take a look at this post: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2667-componentsplus
There is a command in this plugin to export all groups as components in one go.
Regards,

Hi AISMebel,

Below is what you can do:
Browse your disk to your Plugins folder to find a sub-folder named 'tt_draw_bb'

• open the file 'core.rb' in that folder (using a'pure' text editor)
• find line #118
• add the following line:

ents.add_cpoint( Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5, face[0], 0.5, face[1]))

• save the core.rb file and restart SketchUp.
