Hi All

I had a problem with Joint Push Pull. I solved it as I was composing this post, and decided to post the solution in case anyone else is stuck.

I was trying to use Joint Push Pull to thicken a curved shell into a 3D object.

In the attached screenshot you can see I have selected all the faces in the shell and invoked the Joint Push Pull.

PROBLEM

Only some of the selected faces are being extruded. The rest are just being ignored.
Win XP Pro SP3, 32 bit machine 4.00GB RAM installed.
Sketchup 8.0.16846
JointPushPull v2.0b

SOLUTION

In plugins\JPP_Dir_20\jointpushpull_main.rb

Change MAX_VISUAL_FACES = 1000
to MAX_VISUAL_FACES = 10000 (or whatever is a reasonable number for your model)

Hope that helps someone

Cheers

Scott

All Hail TIG!

I have key-shaped bruises on my forehead after spending a morning trying to work out why group.copy was returning nil when applied to a perfectly normal group.

TIG writes : "Perhaps he has a third party script that ill-advisedly refines the group.copy method and makes it return nil ???"

So I take out all scripts from my plugins directory and Hey Presto! suddenly group.copy works as advertised.

Gingerly replacing them and testing, I found the culprit to be Sketchy Physics 3.1

I take the file sketchyphysics.rb out of my plugins, group copy method works fine

I put it back in, group copy method returns nil

I take it out, copy works

I put it in, copy returns nil

I feel better.

So some keywords to help other poor souls :

group copy method failing returning nil not working stuffed buggered broken

I have sketchup 8.0.11752 free by the way
