SORRY all for the inconvenience (related to icons)
I think I've got the solution: for an unknown reason scrambled extension code doesn't seem to work OK on some platforms (wether PC or Mac).
I'll publish in a few hours a "non-scrambled" main script to replace the 'offender'.
Regards,

What's going on with these icons

Still searching.
Anyone has my layer manager script with similar problems ???

Hi all,
I've released a new set of icons at the depositary (same post than the main prog).
Tell me if this one works for you
Reagards,

Hi Kmead,

@unknownuser said:

I run on Mac OSX so that may be some part of the issue

That's true, but my fault
The text file "housebuilder_section.txt" is loaded from a path which is hard-coded and I suppose it is different on PC and Mac.
What the program does is that it searches the SU executable and it adds "Plugins/HouseBuilder" to the path
of the exe to find the text file.
What is the absolute path by default to the SU executable on a Mac ?
And what is the relative path of the HouseBuilder folder ?
Thanks for helping me to fix this problem.

Edited. Thanx for pointing out.

Hi all,

Juju requested a version of HouseBuilder to handle metric sections used in South Africa.

I've just uploaded at the depositary a new version of the HouseBuilder package.
Here it is: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=1518
This version 1.2 can load customized lumber sections from an external file, so everybody can input its own used sections.
Unzip in Plugins folder and please READ readme.txt

Have fun,

Gaieus,
Kerkythea loads XML files format (among others) but has its own set of objects and parameters. SU2KT reads all the SU model geometry and settings (sun,cameras...) and roughly converts them to what is most a sort of "Kerky's XML". So this will not be similar with "3D for all" XML, IMHO. Will look further into it.
Cheers,

Hi,
Maybe I'll give this one a try, if it is of some interest. I have developed several exporters so far, one of them for a private company which wanted to handle 3D laser scanner, bluetooth devices and XML files (soory for rusty english ).
I have used REXML to achieve this and must say that it was quite easy. So if 3DXML is a sort of XML clone, maybe it could be done.
I'll check Dassault's site and make my mind (I'll have some easyness to understand the docs if they're in french .
Wait and see.

OK OK OK
Thanks for answering., have a nice day

Where's this gem, Rick ? I don't see it at smustard

The angle_between method returns a value between 0 and PI, so 270° is the same for it than PI/2
This is really a weird way of returning angle IMHO 8O
Nobody knows (at least not me) why 'they' coded this that way.
I'm afraid you'll have to test the two vectors to know in which trigonometric quadrant (0°->90°,90°->180°,180°->270°,270°->360°) they are, to get the "real" angle between them.
But perhaps you could also use this:
your_component_instance.transformation.yaxis = your_angle
Hope this helps

if i can re-pay you some how let me know

Simple: please send a credit transfer of Euros 100.000 and we'll be good friends.

Hi,
Never tried it with V6 , but the script exists for v5.
Download ADO.zip at my site, Files-Converters-Misc section.
Regards

Done (see depository). I hope it's the right script.

Hi Alex,
My site (see sig) is also a good place to find all free scripts that have been published since 2004.
No advertising and such

Ok Juju,
It's a matter of hours or days...
Tomorrow maybe, if I can get it to work OK with these fu***g PNG icons that sometimes don't display correctly on some machines (still don't know why, maybe I'll provide Gif's instead).
Regards,

Juju,

Last version at my site, because I made the metric version myself.
If you want another sections, you would have to give them to me and I will implement them because they are "hard-coded" in some way.
Cheers,

Hi TIG,
I see that you're online now and I've got a small problem:

Rotating groups/components work with this attached version EXCEPT with Y match, and I don' know why. Can you have a look at it ?
Thanks in advance.

align_2D.zip

Coen,
NO, I cannot upload a rb file
Here is the zip instead

align_2D.zip

Here is an update with some fixes, thanks to TIG for pointing out.
All alignments are now done regardless of altitudes of selected groups/components.
It also checks for impossible alignments, for instance aligning vertically along a line which is parallel to Y axis is not allowed.
