Hi all,

The request by rv1974 has been included in the latest release of my "Guide Toys" plugin.
It's here http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6811 in case your Extensions Manager didn't tell you

Hi Medeek,

Here is what I get on Firefox, no way to select classes or methods as you can see.
I must use Edge to read the API doc, and I HATE Edge

Hi all,

I was having the same message each time I worked on a model saved on the DESKTOP, and SketchUp trying to write a SKB there.
Check if your SketchUp executable has the right to write on your Desktop.

Just in case, also see this: https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=68205

Thanx TIG !

Hi all,
Is it me or this bug is back again (06.14.19) ?

@rv1974

Good idea. I'll add a tool "Radial divisions" between to lines or guides, which will default to 2 of course.

Hi all,

Hi all,

A new version of my (old) plugin Trilateration has been released at the EW.
Downloadable here: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6661

@TIG
Thanks for the hint, unfortunately it doesn't help, I'm getting the correct values for face and dist outputs. BUT, I tried to call message box in others callbacks, it worked in every case.
So what was wrong with this particular callback ? Guess what, one CANNOT call a UI.messagebox after a webdialog (or html dialog) closes, modal or non-modal.
There's some kind of logic here...

This doesn't work:

# callback cancel
@web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p|
	@web_dialog.close()
	r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO)
}

This works:

# callback cancel
@web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p|
	r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO)
	@web_dialog.close()
}

Thanks Fredo,

No, that's not the real code, simplified for readability.

En fait, "face" est une variable d'instance @face dans mon vrai code, j'ai simplifié pour poster ici.
Je n'ai toujours pas solutionné le pb, j'ai mis des mouchards partout pour tracer ce que fait le callback, et dès que la messagebox est appelée, plus rien...
Je vais calquer ma manière de faire sur la tienne

Hi all,

I'm encountering this problem:
When writing a callback function, everything goes well until a messagebox call: the SU window suddenly minimizes to the taskbar , the message box doesn't pops-up and the callback stops

Something like this:

@web_dialog.add_action_callback("wcCreatePlace") { |d, p|		
			# Possible opening ?
			pushPullDoable=validateFace4Pushpull(face)
			if pushPullDoable
				dist=findWallFaceDistance(face)
				if dist
# EVERYTHING OK UNTIL HERE
					rep=UI.messagebox("Open the wall ?",MB_YESNO)
					face.pushpull(-dist) if rep == IDYES
				end
			end
		}

Anyone encountered this before ?

Hi all,
My latest extension is now available at the EW here: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6611

Have Fun

Here is the interface of the "coming soon" extension:

Note that in this version, the ground color variation is also supported

EDIT: just available now at the EW here: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6611

@inlimine:
No need to unpack anything. Just unzip skyColor.zip to get the RBS file. Put that RBS file in your Plugins folder. Not sure where it is on a Mac, but it should be somewhere like:
~/Library/Application Support/SketchUp/SketchUp 2018/SketchUp/Plugins

To know where this folder is, open the Ruby console and type:
Sketchup::find_support_file("Plugins")

I will make this script a "regular" extension soon
Regards

Hi all,

Here is the first version of what could be an extension. I need your view about it, so here is how to install:

• unzip the file skyColor.zip in your Plugins folder: if you don't know where it is, open the Ruby console and type Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
• restart SketchUp

You should now see a new menu in your View menu:

Select the Physical sky menu and select Settings:

Settings are quite self explanatory:

2 sky types provided: solid color or a gradient from horizon color to sky color
Dynamic sky: select Yes if you want to automatically modify the sky colors when changing time or date in the shadow palette
Update style: select Yes if you want to automatically update the style when changing sky colors.

Set sky color temperature: modify the sky colors according to the shadow palette, if dynamic sky is disabled.

The colors of the sky are based on a Kelvin temperatures table, from 4000K at sunrise, 7000K at noon, to 3700K at sunset.
Sky will be a blueish black at night.

BTW, I don't see a way to alter the color of the shadows, because sky color and horizon color are exposed in the API, and shadow color is'nt.

skyColor.zip

Hi Inlimine,
I have just a question to make things clear See below.

Hi Inlimine,
Using SU since 2004, and a great amount of plugins, sorry but I can't remember of such a plugin
Maybe I'll write it some day... it would also be a nice addition to my "ShadowInfo" plugin

Hi all,
Nice addition ! This give me some idea for enhancing my next plugin:
I'm actually working on (yet another) window maker, full of options, among them you'll have the possibility to add a "screen", opened at a parametric percentage of the height of the casement.
Below is a sliding window, 2 parametric sashes with parametric muntins, no shutter, no "push bar", all materials parametric:

Interface:

You will also have the possibilty to create window components based on a face, no matter its shape

@lothian:
or you can change the number of segments after the ellipse is drawn: select it and enter your number in the entity info palette.
