Sam,

Well, I'm supposed to know the use of the ; but i forgot..

Again thanx for your help. The Math part was easier than the constructionpointarraycreation.

Hi Sam and Fredo,

Thnx for your help! Exactly what I was after..

@Sam
pts=[];#initialize the points array
why the ; ??

Thnx

Hi,

My first question:

I have a set of construction points, which coordinates I want to catch in an Array.
How do I do that?

Second question:

I want to draw al the possible lines to connect all the cpoints in that Array.

I think I have to use line = entities.add_line point1,point2

But how do I iterate through the couples in the array?

Examplearray = [A, B, C]

Gives me these three couples / lines:
AB
AC
BC

And of course BA CA and CB but these are duplicate lines..

But how to automate this process??

Thanxs for your input!

Hi John,

Just download and install latest version -see first post of this topic.

Good luck!

I updated the booleanhelper plugin! Please see the first post of this topic.

No reinstall was needed, I found out that 2Dfillet script is working fine with no other plugins installed..
So there had to be a script interfering with the 2Dfillet. It turned out to be sketchyphysics3.1.

So problem solved, at least on my side. I'm curious though if Ben's problem is solved in the same way.

Bye

TIG: you are too good!!

Hi TIG,

The problem started when I moved from a XP machine to my new laptop which runs windows 7. So I went back to the XP machine, and on XP ,2D-fillet works fine.

I simply copied all the plugins from the XP-plugins directory to windows7-plugins directory.
So I have exactly the same files belonging to 2D-Tools on XP and windows7.

All the other plugins work fine, as far as I've tested them..

This is what I did to produce the error:

-Draw a 2D rectangle from origin. (100;100)
-Select 2D fillet
-Enter radius --> 10 [RETURN]
-select line 1 (it gets blue)
-select line 2
-Result: the whole rectangle disappears

On windows7 the console says:

Error; #<NoMethodError; undefined method `explode' for nil;NilClass>
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google Sketchup 8/Plugins/2Dtools/2DfilletTool.rb;404;in `create_geometry'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google Sketchup 8/Plugins/2Dtools/2DfilletTool.rb;197;in `onLButtonDown'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google Sketchup 8/Plugins/2Dtools/2DfilletTool.rb;404

Is this helpful ??

Exactly the same problem here ...

Hello everyone!
This is my first tutorial.
The tutorial will guide you through the steps of making real working screw thread suitable for 3D printing.

Your comments are welcome....

Hi Guys!

I just got my new laptop and I've finished my new Windows 7 installation.. And I like It!!!
I also found a real good solution to the problem of this topic...

Just a moment...

(www.techrepublic.com)

I'll post it as soon as finished.

Ah I see, I'm only into the machine threads right now.. I'm planning to use them in a model
that will be 3D-printed..

What do you mean by 'kind of threats'?

roughly it involves the use of 2 plugins: 'drawhelix14' and 'followmeandkeep' along with some boolean operations.

Hi guys,

I'm working on a bolt and nut with real thread:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread

I want to make a tutorial out of it, but i'm not sure there is one already..

So please tell me if there is a tutorial needed.

Liquid

Thnx for the luck, mitcorb !
