Let's say if first move an object (by translation) by 3 according to the z-axis (so 3 metres higher)
Later on I want to move it to 5. In a translation that would be a move of 2
Is it possible to set the position in z instead of doing translations?
Or can i reset/remove the previous translation and do a new translation?
Hope this makes sense.
Regards
To be correct:
It's not IE9 completely that is being used but some IE engine
I always do as chris does:
collect in one string, send to SU, split there if needed
ThomThom, thx for the answers!
With auto-creation I mean this:
The creation through ruby of a section plane in each of the 20 groups that are in the model.
ok, a bit in shame I confees that I can move a section plane but only by certain axis.
I do have to do it like this though:
ent=Sketchup.active_model.selection[0] # a sketchup section plane
vector = Geom;;Vector3d.new 0,0,-3
t = Geom;;Transformation.translation vector
Sketchup.active_model.entities.transform_entities(t,ent)
ent.transform! or ent.transformation does not work
Now, let's say i have 2 groups, each with a section plane in them.
First one i want to move -3 over z-axis, the other one -1 over z-axis.
This can be done?
But auto-creation of a section plane for (and in) each group is not possible i suppose
ThomThom,
you got me a bit confused now.
I seem to be unable to move (translation) a section plane by the blue axis through API.
But since it is an entity, i should be able to do it?
thx
For verification:
It is impossible to create a section plane through the ruby API
Its is impossible to move (transform!) a section plane through the ruby API
It is possible to delete a section plane through the ruby API (erase!)
Is this correct?
Thx!
I don't mind the 'harsh' comments at all!
Like this i know the problem is at the side of AutoCAD and not at the side of Sketchup!!
Thx all!
Btw Thomthom, that cleanup works excellent!
btw i do not only mean the missing faces but the global complexity. I suppose when you would draw this in SU directly there would be less edges and faces?
Hey ThomThom,
If you mean the option 'Merge Coplanar faces' yes that one was ticked.
I'll give it a shot
Thx!
Hey Tig,
I get this error when i try to use it on attached model
Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method entities' for TIG:Module> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/TIG-solidsolver.rb:294:in solidsolver_heal_small'
...
Are there any command/plugins/tricks out there to simplify the attached model (comming from AutoCAD)
So that the missing parts are filled in and maybe there are less polygones?
Thx!
Hey Thomthom,
Any news on progress? I'm running into this problem is i write this message 
Thx!
driven, thx!!
I have reported the error an already received a debugged version (bug at their side)
Well it is in fact not a script written by me.
It is an external script which i'm trying to incorporate.
So the complete js side is unclear to me.
In what file is the error located?
Thx again
and in SU you can launch by TESTOLA.testing in ruby console
I'm a bit confused here.
So if you would use set_file then all should work fine?
I'm using that method and it loads a html file but the linked js files inside do not seem to work.
They do however work when just opening the html file with Safari. (So not in a webdialog)
Hey Chris, haven't look at it but i read in the previous version of this plugin that you planned on integrating a cancel button to cancel script execution.
Did you find a solution for this?
Thx
Yes it does.
It works on both free as Pro version of SU6, SU7 and SU8
