Hi all,

Where can I download this new gem ?
I cannot find it in the Plugin Store...

@samuel,

it works now ! Thanks for the tip

Hi Samuel,

First thank you for this stunning plugin
Just downloaded and installed v0.0.2 (v0.0.1 was working OK, apart from several Bug Splats) but this time the dialog is blank. Any idea ? (maybe I must uninstall v0.0.1 prior to installing v0.0.2 ?)

@atelierpaar

Hi,
What features would you like me to develop or enhance ?

Hi Glenn

It works in both cases.
First example shows that "Cuts opening" and "punch window" both work on a regular face of a wall, and second example shows that only "punch window" works if the wall is a group.
But it will work OK if the context is the group (if you are within the group when launching WB)

Hi,

Hi,
Windows Builder is compatible with SU2017 (Make and Pro).

@rv1974:

Thanks for reporting this bug, sort of.
I see on your image that you are in a group or component. The plugin behaves weirdly in such a context. I'll fix that.
Regards

@Pilou:

Your file is SU v6. This means the plugin isn't compatible with SU versions that use older releases of Ruby and API.
Below is your file 'orthogonalized' with SU2020, with the same parameters as yours.

BTW, your white dashed lines indicate a better way to preserve the global shape of the face than the one I've implemented, this will become an option in the next release (I hope).

Cordialement,

Hi everybody,

Below is the beta version of my Orthogonalize plugin.
I would have some feedback from the users, so I can enhance the plugin.

Install it the usual way, with the extensions manager.

First usage: select one or more faces in the model, righ-click on the selection and select 'Orthogonalize N faces'.
Please click on the Help button and read the PDF file to get information about how the script works.

Please report any bug you encounter, and feel free to report what's good and what is not convenient to you.

Best regards

DBUR_Orthogonalize.rbz

@rv1974

Settings are remembered all along the session, but I can also save them saved in the skp file (as model attributes).

Concerning the rounding of coordinates, it's also an interesting idea that I will look into.
Regards

Hi,

The future 'orthogonalize' plugin is on its way...
But I've encountered some problems to solve before reshaping a face: sometimes there are double points (especially when the face comes from an external content, such as an OSM map for instance), sometimes edges are reversed in the face record, sometimes there are colinear edges or overlapping edges, etc...

I've almost solved all of these and the script is under heavy testing
Below is a preview of the interface: you'll choose between 3 options, preserve the global shape of the face, preserve the segments lengths, or click on the first segment of a single face to give the script a start.

Script will process a single face or a bunch of selected faces.

Hi,

This idea is more complex than I though
I have writen some dirty code just to see if it is doable. It needs now heavy testing in various situations, with complex face shapes.

A threshold parameter (angle) tells the script in which range each angle at each corner of the face has to be 'orthogonalized' (or not).
For now, a face like on the left side of the image is reshaped to the one on the right

Click on the image to see it in action on a more complex face:

Interesting idea... I'll investigate the feasibility.
There should be some parameters to drive the 'reshape' process (from where to start, what dimensions to maintain, etc).

@robertWan:
Hi,
Don't you think that (in this particular case) creating an outline would take longer than erasing unwanted entities manually ? Just a thought...

Hi folks,
As you perhaps know, I had some trouble getting my SU2020 version
https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=72448&p=659972&hilit=cranky#p659972
That's an old story now, a sort of "gentlemen agreement" has been found.

So I'm back to SU and Ruby, just wanted to inform you that a new release of my 'Numbering Text' plugin was published last week.
Here it is at the EW: https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/7f2d2765-5fad-4cb3-b622-16a7411af4e9/numbering-text

What's new:

• utf-8 support for all SketchUp named objects (layers, materials, components...)
• increment values can be negative (numbers only)
• 2d texts can now have a color/material
• bug fixes: relative and absolute altitudes of 3D texts were wrong, radio buttons for relative/absolute altitudes were not retained
• several fonts added for 3D texts
• all settings are now persistent in the dialogs
• better cursor, tooltips enhanced
• 3D texts are now named groups
• 3D texts can now have a color/matérial
• circular and polygonal are betterly sized
• added option to force radius of polygonal labels
• added Wire/Face option for label shapes
• added extrude option for "faced" labels
• added color/matérial for labels
• added option to rotate 3D texts
• added option to make 3D texts stick to any face
• added an eyedropper feature to quickly retrieve any text settings
• Paypal donation button added
• cosmetic changes in the dialogs
• Tools have got a toolbar

• numerous bugs fixed

Enjoy !
