    • RE: [Plugin] Align 2d

      Bug found: it happens when either the 2 points that define the alignment line or the origin of groups/components are not on the same plane.

      I'm considering to provide an additionnal option to align groups/components axis with the alignment line. Does it make sense or do you think this will be useful ?

      Regards,

      Oops, where's the rb ??? I've attached it and nothing shows up ? 😳

      Coen, I just retried and it tells me that rb extension isn't allowed. 8O
      Any fix for this ?

    • [Plugin] Align 2d

      Hi all,
      Here is the beta of my new Align 2D script (the Align 3D script has been released yesterday, available at the old SU Ruby forum and at my site).

      How it works ?

      1. Make a selection (other objects than groups or components are ignored)
      2. Select "Align 2D" in the context menu or in the Tools menu
      3. Click 2 points that define a line for the alignement.
      4. A construction line is temporarily drawn and a dialog box is displayed
      5. Choose your options:
      • horizontally align all groups/components along X axis at the intersection with the cline
      • vertically align all groups/components along Y axis at the intersection with the cline
      • perpendicularly align all groups/components along a perpendicular virtual line at the intersection with the cline.
      1. Other options self-explanatory

      Experiment by yourself and have fun !

    • RE: Scripy sticks?

      Hi CadFather,

      is it possible to create a scipt that saves the toolbar workspace (you know what i mean) or at least opens all the toolbars in one go so that i can then place them.. please tell me yes
      

      I tell you YES. 😉

      Opening all toolbars will be quite simple, restore the workspace may be less simple, as the location of toolbars are saved in the registry AFAIK. But why not ? Pure Ruby makes them "readable/writable", so...
      It's on my list...

    • RE: Working with selection - ungrouped or within a group

      Yes it is doable.

      For instance:

      def editing_group?
      if Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.parent.class == Sketchup::ComponentDefinition and Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.parent.group?
      return true
      else return false
      end

      Will return a boolean to tell the script if the user is currently editing a group. BUT using methods of the selection class is independant of that.
      Even if the user is editing a group, Sketchup.active_model.entities can be accessed the usual way, and Sketchup.active_model.active_entities will return a collection of entities of the active group/component.

      If you have to check wether selection is a group or not, use this test:
      Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.parent.class == Sketchup::ComponentDefinition
      (because group are stored as if they are components !)
      and if you have to check wether a particular selected object is part of a group or not, use this test:

      if editing_group? and Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.include?( object_id ) ...
      Hope this helps,

    • RE: Working with selection - ungrouped or within a group

      No.
      You cannot have a selection of entities in and out a group/component at the same time.

      Shetchup.active_model.active_entities returns the whole model if you aren't editing a group/component, and returns the collection of entities of the group/component if you are editing a group/component.

      Shetchup.active_model.selection is completely different from that.
      Hope this helps,

    • RE: Select by Group Name?

      Hi ehaflett,
      This is sure an issue 😮
      The script would normally list the component or group names once, even if there is a bunch of them. This script is quite old and maybe I forgot to compact the dropdown list. I'll take a look at it.
      Sorry for the inconvenience,

    • RE: Select by Group Name?

      Hi,
      Go to my site, click on "metric plugins", then on "selection-layers" section, browse the page down to find "quick_selection.zip"

      Here is a direct link to the page:
      http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/em_sel_page.htm

      Download it, install it, read the doc, then it will do everything you're after and much more, concerning selection. If you know the "quick sel" right-click from Autocad, it is very similar. 💭
      Hope this helps,

      PS: You seem very young to play with SketchUp 😛

    • RE: New script: Projection toolbar update

      Hi arunkumar,

      Why should there be contour/terrain related stuff in such a toolbar ???
      Several tools are available at my site, in the architecture section: contourmaker, contour_lines, [CASF]Topo_18, and so on.
      My toolbar is limited to stricly geometric operations, no architectural stuff in there 😆 .

    • RE: [Plugin] Ellipse script

      Hi bellwells,
      Major and minor axis are "switchable", yes. In my example, the major axis is smaller than the minor 😳
      But it doesn't matter. I could call them "first" and "second" as well 😄

    • RE: SU 6.0 en version française est disponible

      Bonjour,
      Alors là je n'en sais rien 8O parce que moi j'ai SU 4, SU5Pro (en anglais et en français), et GSU6 sur la même machine, aucun problème à noter sauf que quand on clique sur un SKP pour l'ouvrir, il se trompe de version la plupart du temps.
      Dans ton cas c'est bizarre, si tu as desinstallé l'ancienne version, il faudrait verifier à tout hasard qu'il ne reste plus rien qui traine dans Program Files/Google/Google Sketchup 6.
      Je ne comprends d'ailleurs pas comment il fait pour afficher des menus en anglais à partir d'une version française, les DLL ne sont pas les mêmes. Donc soit il reste des clés de registre de l'ancienne version (ça m'étonnerait), soit tu as téléchargé la version anglaise sans t'en rendre compte (c'est possible, ça m'est arrivé aussi 😳 ). Le nom du fichier d'installation français est "GoogleSketchUpWFR.exe".
      Bonne chance,

    • RE: SU 6.0 en version française est disponible

      Merci pour l'info.
      Perso j'ai plusieurs versions de SU installées sur le même ordi, ça ne pose pas de problèmes. 😆
      Je viens d'installer, même si tu as une V6 anglaise installée, il fait simplement une mise à jour en version française, en conservant tous les trucs déjà installés: exporteurs, composants, matériaux supplémentaires, styles, etc.
      C'est suffisement bien fait (et rare) pour être salué. :thup:
