Hi Santiago

• about settings saved: i planned to propose the last used settings in creation, except name, section on/off and projection on/off, but i can limit the exception to the name...
• escape : very usefull (was planned), but more difficult : Have to rewrite a lot. Will have to find the time.
• name on the top : ok
  Thanks for the suggestions

@thomthom said:

So, I'm a bit unclear here - have you found issues with SKUI on OSX?

Completly clear : Before i use it, i wanted to know..... So i don't have any experience yet with SKUI.
Thanks for the info : tested on Mac

Santiago (caronte01) is testing my RichSection plugin on mac.
There are BIG issues with the UI.inputbox of the Sketchup API:

• text truncated
• different text alignment

complete report by caronte01 in this post : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=55072%26amp;p=524308#p524280

Hi Santiago
Good job
I will report this to the sketchup team and the community!
See : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11%26amp;t=57642%26amp;p=524309#p524309
Thanks !

Has SKUI been tested on Mac ?
Mac-users

actually that did produce a face with a material in the section.

is a "solid" required for sectioning? ...

As explained in the first post :
Elements don't have to be solid, but only closed sections will generate section-materials.
( and solids alwys produce closed sections)

@krisidious said:

Yes, that's the version I'm on.

Can you send me the log file after ...

• In a NEW model.... (Not opening an existing model)
• create a closed box
• group it
• select the tool 'RichSection creation' ( the most left on the RichSection toolbox)
• create a section through the unique group (important : wait until the plugin has finished : see ruby console)
• copy and post the log file (when opening Sketchup, a panel tells you where the log file will be created )
  Thanks

@krisidious said:

For some reason I'm not getting the faces of the section. The section cuts, it adds the projection but no faces.

For SU 8 and Mac, you need the last test version. It will become the next official version.

You can switch off logging in the settings.
Still problems?

Hi Piet,

Great news, it works on the mac!!!!

Well, most of it. The console still shows some errors, and it is very slow(core2duo macbook from mid 2010), compared to my work pc (Core I7). Probably has to do with logging.

I can update an existing rich section, and I am currently creating a new one, but it is veeery slow (projection depth default should not be no limit, ....it makes rs veeery slow). Also, parameter change sort of works, but it will not update changes directly. The section has to be manually updated after closing the dialog.

Legend creation works

Info, does not work, it stops expecting start, but no indication on how to (enter, double click, right click)

What else should I check?

Great work!!!!

I'll keep testing

You can try out without logging (RichSection/Settings >> file & console >> No), and switch only on for debugging if errors occure.
I still have to make some more videos:

• projection : for most, it can be swiched of; it make sense for plan view (i use it to show the beams under the next floorslab in grey pointed lines)
• info : select the tool, a RichSection sectionplan (or the sectiongroup), and than (without shift) a group or componentinstance of your model. An info panel should explain which sectionmaterial was or will be applied, and why it was applied.
• update on/off : only for moving, turning the sectionplan; for model changes : still manual update
  What else to test : use it and report what sequences don't work (error, crash, not as espected)
  About the spanish translation : you can do it in the excel file (without testing, and send it to me) or the .rb file (notepad, you can test). Keep a copy of the original rb : a missing \ or " will prevent the plugin to start.
  Thanks for reporting and translating

I started do same testing and learning how it works and ... crashed
however mac version is progress
logs attached
cheers

Looks promising .... i was almost losing hope ! This is big news for me . Thanks for testing and reporting bimbachi
Can you give me some more information : What did produce the crash? Can you reproduce it again? What is the output in the ruby console?

Hi all

This version is for testing, and feedback please.

• on mac
• for those on Windows having problems to run this plugin

This test version has logging switched on by default.
A log-file is created, and can be opened.

• Open the file (and save as) : Menu/Plugins/RichSection/Open logfile....
• Copy the file. The file location is shown at startup (panel opening)and in the Ruby panel.

Logging can be switched off in Menu/Plugins/RichSection/Settings.
If problems, i would be glad to receive the complete log file (RichSection_log.txt), not just the last lines.

I also added the spanish translation made by Santiago Molina (caronte01). Thanks Santiago, also for the other corrections! Everything ok in the spanish dictionary?

Thanks.

Ok... SO far I have narrowed it down to Artisan and EcoScorecard that are causing conflicts with Rich Section.

Thanks for testing and reporting this conflicts....
I will mention it in 'known issues' for this plugin

Got it loaded on my mac I'll kick the tires on it later. Thanks for the Mac version

Sorry, its not working yet on Mac.

This is great.
If it's platform independent, It will become the most downloaded plugin (after Sketchucation tools)

Thanks Bimbachi
I'll work on it.
Please, for readability,, don't copy the whole log in this post.
