Same for me with line 155, 177, 199, 218. Character 92, so it's "<=" causing problem.

I was looking on .rb document but that error was from html file.
From:

<input 
  type="text"
  onkeypress='return event.charCode >= 48 && event.charCode <= 57 || event.charCode = 190'
>

To:

<input 
  type="text"
  onkeypress='return event.charCode > 47 && event.charCode < 58 || event.charCode == 46'
>

Hope this fixes it...By the way where you guys spot this errors for html I have no idea.

Best regards

Since I modified the code the idem line # must of change... Can you post new line numbers?

Thanks!

Hi, bellow is an attempt to offset the top face lines but I am running into some issues.

model = Sketchup.active_model
ents = model.active_entities
faces = ents.grep(Sketchup;;Face)
sel = model.selection

faces.each do |face|

  if face.normal.z == 1
    
    edges = face.edges
    edges.to_a.each do |e|

      p1 = e.start.position
      p2 = e.end.position
      
      x1 = p1.x
      x2 = p2.x
      y1 = p1.y
      y2 = p2.y
      
      length =  Math.sqrt((x1-x2)*(x1-x2)+(y1-y2)*(y1-y2)) 
      
      offset = 10.0
      
      x1p = x1 + offset * (y2-y1)/length #/
      x2p = x2 + offset * (y2-y1)/length #/
      y1p = y1 + offset * (x1-x2)/length #/
      y2p = y2 + offset * (x1-x2)/length #/
      
      newedges = ents.add_line([x1p,y1p,p1.z+5],[x2p,y2p,p2.z+5])
     
      sel.add newedges
    end

  end

end

Where do I start ...

Notice that when I add the line, the z coordinates have +5 added because if I make it same height as face the new edges break the next edge that it will offset and mess the result.

You can see what I mean if you replace "p1.z+5" to "p1.z" & "p2.z+5" to "p2.z". You need to have a face that where z axis = 1.

What I had in mind was to elevate the edges by 5 and somehow abstract the vertex position where the new edges intersect. Problem is they don't produce any vertex.

Not sure if I am explaining myself but all I want is to offset the top face. Any help will be appreciated as always.

Thanks!

SO THEN
**b = a.split('')[4..-1].join('')** o there
should do it, even with strings containing non-ASCII characters

Great advice!...thank you guys!

Will check how that can be done.

Thanks for suggestion!

What would you suggest the controls would be for keyboard?
'w,a,s,d' for moving and mouse pointer for the target?

Thanks!

@bagatelo said:

I really liked that idea. But I think that would be more interesting if you create something that approaching this idea, using the keyboard:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sTyJki96Ec
It would be great if we can move the camera and also the target with keyboard, at the same time, like a game. It would be interesting if we could configure shortcuts permanent, even this plugin not being active

Here is another plugin that works like in games... http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=FPSNav

'Axis Cam' is main purpose was to create specific camera pans that I would record with something like "Fraps".

Maybe in the future I will try an make camera plugin that would control more like it does in a game so I can add extra features that some similar plugins don't have.

Cheers!

I would recommend you use Dan suggestions as it's always correct. You example will fail when you feed it a string that's over 100 characters. And it's not a good practice to give out of range values.

Will replace the code to Dan is suggestion for the next update of "Rename by Layer" plugin.

Thanks!

thank you guys!

Here is what I ended up using to eliminate first four letters...

"sting"[4,100] #=> "g"

Fixed the "keep existing name" feature but in the mean time it should work only on groups.

This one seems to work.

a = "hello there"
a[1,1] #=> "e"

How can I remove the first four letters of a string?

Here is a test that is giving me strange result...

a = "hello there"
a[1] #=> "101"

I was expecting this...

a = "hello there"
a[1] #=> "e"

What I am doing wrong?

%(#909090)[What is new:

• The web-dialog is smaller
• Keep existing name - This will include the existing name to the newly created one. For example:
  Layer = bed
  Existing name = door
  Add Number = True / Prefix

Result = 001 - bed - door]

Again thanks for feedback!

Note: Need to recheck "Keep existing name" feature since its not working...will try to fix it as soon.

Amazing! Really Really good. A great companion to this is "Layers Panel" - photoshop layers window with nested layers. still in Beta and some wrinkles to iron out but, Like this plugin, very impressive!!

I am a big fan of "Layers Panel" and think everyone should have it...Can't recommend it enough! http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=488833#p488833

@cmeed said:

All i could say on a negative - could we have a smaller window? it takes up alot of space and we know the name of it, if we lost the logo (sorry), at least i'd get back half my screen.

Next update should have smaller windows and I agree that the logo is taking too much space.

Thanks for feedback...cheers!

@dedmin said:

It is getting really great - BIG THANKS!!
Can We have an option to append the layer name or/and numbers to the existing component's/group's names?

That is good suggestion so lets see if it can be added to next update.
