    • [Plugin] Divide curve - 1st release

      Hi all,

      Here is my newest plugin to divide curves. I enhanced the original script I made for my own usage, adding several tool to move/add/delete vertices, convert curves to lines and lines to curves, close or open curves.
      The Pdf file is a quick starter guide.
      Enjoy 😎

      @rv1974:

      in this case you'll have 3 possible results (depending on the option you select): 4 lines, 3 curves, or a single curve with 5 vertices.

      @srx:
      Yes the tool will be interactive exactly like the "divide" option of the context menu, the red points are moving along the curve when you hover the curve with the cursor.

      Please go here for downloading the plugin:

      Hi,
      Recently I had to split many curves in a model, and found it tedious and boring. So I wrote a quick script to speed up the process.
      If anyone interested, I can polish the plugin and release a tool which would look like the native "divide" option (that works only on edges and arcs). It will work for open or closed curves (polylines) and polygons.

      Hi,
      Here is the very last final version (I swear) 😆

      More options for the 3d texts settings:

    • RE: Potential Project

      @odewallrus:

      Here is the second attempt, with it you can insert either 2D texts (like before) and 3D texts (these will be centered on your clicks.

      Install:
      Unzip the archive and place Numbering2D3DText.rbs in your Plugins folder (remove any old version)
      Restart SketchUp, select your option (2D or 3D) in the Draw menu

      2D Text Usage:

      Fill the dialog:

      • Prefix will precede the number (you can include spaces,\n or \t sequences)
      • Suffix will follow the number (you can include spaces,\n or \t sequences)
      • Text altitude will be the height (in your current units) of all the texts, above ground (you can use negative values)
      • Click to insert label(s) , Right-clic to change settings, Escape to cancel, Return to end the tool.

      3D Text Usage:

      Fill the dialog:

      • Prefix will precede the number (you CANNOT include spaces,\n or \t sequences)
      • Suffix will follow the number (you CANNOT include spaces,\n or \t sequences)
      • Text altitude will be the height (in your current units) of all the texts, above ground (you can use negative values)
      • Text font: enter a font name like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Times New Roman, etc.
      • Font Height: the height of the characters, in your current units
      • Extrude: the width (or depth) of the characters
      • Click to insert label(s) , Right-clic to change settings, Escape to cancel, Return to end the tool.

      N.B.: 3D texts will be centered around the points you click, in top view.

      @odewallrus

      I'm afraid I can't 😳 . Unfortunately text entities in SketchUp are very basic (as opposed to text in Layout), and they do not have justification properties (because they are automatically left or right justified, depending on the arrow and pin features).
      I've tried to move the text a little to the left, but this translation depends on the text font and text height, it never gives a good result. A workaround would be to click slighty to the left of the location you want, knowing how long the text is, how big the font is, etc.
      Best regards,

      EDIT: I found that using 3DText will do the trick. I'll investigate this 😉

    • RE: Potential Project

      Hi,

      Here is the first attempt to code what you want (I hope).

      Usage:

      Unzip the archive and place NumberingText.rbs in your Plugins folder
      Restart SketchUp

      Select 'Numbering Text' in the 'Extensions' menu
      Fill the dialog
      Prefix will precede the number (you can include spaces and \n sequence)
      Suffix will follow the number (you can include spaces and \n sequence)
      N.B.: a \n sequence in a text will reject the rest of the text on a new line.
      Altitude will be the height of all the texts above ground

      Click to insert label(s) , Right-clic to change settings, Escape to cancel, Return to end the tool.

      Examples:

      nt3.jpg
      nt2.jpg

      @odewallrus

      What do you mean "at a set height" ? Is it a constant altitude above ground for all text labels, or a height above the objects/points you click ?
      With more precise specifications, this script would be quite easy to code 😉

    • RE: [Plugin] Toolbars Manager

      Bonjour Pilou,
      Si je comprends bien ta question, tu demandes si il existe un utilitaire pour créer une barre d'outil pour un plugin ? Pas à ma connaissance, quoique le "toolbar editor" d'Aerilius pourrait le faire, je pense.
      Il est ici: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/toolbar-editor
      MAIS:

      1. je crois qu'il ne fonctionne pas bien sur des versions après SU2016
      2. ça serait encore plus simple de faire la barre d'outils "à la main" en Ruby
      3. SURTOUT il faut savoir quelle fonction appeler derrière les icônes (et ça, c'est impossible à savoir si le plugin est crypté, ou si l'auteur n'est pas d'accord pour qu'on utilise son code.
        Comme PBR est open-source, ça doit être possible d'accéder au code.

      P.S.: je viens de télécharger le truc (en fait il y en a 2), mais je ne sais pas comment les installer (un comble...)
      j'ai vu que les menus sont "en clair", donc si tu contactes l'auteur et lui demande la permission, je pourrais faire une barre d'outils.

    • [Plugin] Toolbars Manager

      Hi all,

      This plugin adds several menu commands to hide, show, save; restore, list, the 2 categories of toolbars of the SketchUp interface: SketchUp toolbars and Plugins (aka Extensions) toolbars.
      It can also save and load toolbars "sets".

      Important: since the locations of the toolbars on the screen are not exposed in the Ruby API ☹ (but stored in the registry), the plugin can NOT restore these locations, only set their visibility.

      Have fun 😎

      You're right. Fixed 😉
      Side note: I'll soon publish an enhanced version with another new feature: automatic sectional view creation (scene, layer, material and style options).

    • RE: [Plugin (final version)] Section Planes Manager

      Hi all,
      Here is what I ended up with 😉

      Dropdown list now updates automatically when you add, erase, or modify a section.
      The section plane that you select in the list is activated immediately (no need to click on a "apply" button anymore).
      Tooltips added when mouse hovers icons

      The row of icons, left to right, do the following:

      • invert the section plane (toggle)
      • add a section plane
      • show all section planes (toggle)
      • draw the section or not (toggle)
      • fill or not the section (toggle)
      • align view to the section plane
      • perspective/parallel camera (toggle)
      • display help file

      See top of this topic to download the latest RBZ version.

      Enjoy!

      No, it won't work in SU2017, because sections names and symbols were introduced in SU2018.

    • RE: [Plugin (final version)] Section Planes Manager

      @ pbacot,

      Sections are in the Outliner (new in version 2018 I think)

      About hidden layers: if your sections are on a hidden layer, the plugin also works, but you will not see the sections planes appear in the viewport. Same goes for sections that are hidden entities (masked).
      Maybe I'll enhance the script to make them appear and hide them again after the command ends 😉

    • [Plugin (final version)] Section Planes Manager

      Hi all,

      Here is a little plugin I needed for my personal use. When having a bunch of section planes in the model, it can be quite annoying to have to activate a particular section plane (display section planes, select the desired one, right-click and choose "activate", etc).
      This plugin lets you select the section plane in a dialog box, and more.
      Usage: select "Sections Manager" from the Window menu.
      (2 languages included: fr,us)
      For SU v2018 and up.


      spm4.jpg

      Final version 06/06/18 (RBZ extension):
      2 languages included: french, english. Easy to localize for your own language.
      See PDF help file included (click on the ? button).

    • RE: House Builder

      Bonjour Christophe:

      • Oui une version française est incluse (encore heureux...)
      • Il y aura un fichier de traduction non-codé pour tout autre langage.
      • Il y aura beaucoup plus de fonctionnalités et de types de pièces de bois que dans HouseBuilder, en saisie manuelle ou en automatique (murs, planchers, toits)
      • Types de bois: poteau, solive, linteau, lisse, chevron, planche de rive, contreventement, panne faitière.
      • On trouvera l'extension sur la 3D WareHouse.

      SUFramer_toolbar_.jpg

      • Barre d'outils, de gauche à droite:
        saisie manuelle de pièces de bois,
        saisie de plancher
        trémie dans plancher
        mur
        porte
        fenêtre
        entretoises
        revêtements contreplaqué
        toit en shed ou à 2 pans
        toit plat
        export quantitatif vers Excel
        aide

      Je pense rendre le plugin compatible avec Estimator (d'où le délai avant publication)

      A+

      J'ai pas encore de date de sortie, je prends du retard en ce moment...
