Hi,
I can't get version 1.3j to work at all, even with units set to inches, feet, or whatever.
Nothing starts, no console error message, no component created, no nothing...

@tak2hata: it would be nice if you gather the various translation files and deliver the plugin as a Zip, but most of all, is it possible that you handle the translation of the dialog boxes labels, lists, options, buttons, etc within the code ?

About UTF-8: Web dialogs and input boxes work well with special letters, just use a UTF-8 text editor (like Notepad++ for instance).

Hi,Didier.
Parameter value in dialog box,
if "Legnth" and "Rootwidth" are 0, then this plugin not work.
But there is an unsolved another problem in this state, too.

I tried saving file to UTF-8(without BOM) by using Notepad++.
Reopen the saved file,that format is displayed ANSI.
Using other editor makes same result.
I added letters with Japanese character ,and save UTF-8(without BOM).
That file format displayed ANSI as UTF-8.
fur_en v1.3j with UTF8(zipped)
Thanks.

Hi,Diego,TIG,Oxer.

Thanks for your helps.

Hi,All.
I update fur plugin to verion1.3j.
Increased translatable words for local language file.
Franch translation by Daredevil.
Persian translation by Majid.
Spanish translation by Oxer.
Thanks you very mush.

@mariocha said:

Great stuff !
Is there a way the dialog can remember it's position on the screen?
I always expect it to reopen where I put it the previous time.

I want it ,too.
I will probe to record the temporary position of dialog.

Thanks.

Hi,all.
I updated this plugin to version1.3i.

Webdialog sees easier.(Thanks Diego.)
Parameter name translates by langage text file.

Thanks.

@oxer said:

Certainly, i have done the plugin's translation to spanish language of the two versions, 1.3a (works) and 1.3h (don't works), if you want i send you them.

Hi .Oxer.
That's nice idea.
Please send me them.
I will make setting file for translation to other language.
It will override menu names.
Thanks.

@tallbridgeguy said:

I downloaded 1.3h and I don't see the new dialog, just the old one.
(thanks for the plugin by the way)

Sorry ,Older(v1.3g)file remained most below of the first thread.
Now I deleted it.
please download "fur_en_v1.3h(web dialog shorter)".

@oxer said:

Hi!

The first, incredible plugin!
I had downloaded the plugin version 1.3a and it works fine, i download the last version 1.3h and it don't works, the plugin appears in the Menu Plugins and the InputBox appears too but when I push OK nothing happens. I use Mac with SU 7.1. I have probed the plugin version 1.3h in SU (Windows) too and don't works. What's the problem?

Certainly, i have done the plugin's translation to spanish language of the two versions, 1.3a (works) and 1.3h (don't works), if you want i send you them.

Bye!

Hi,Oxer.
see "Sketchup--menu--window--model info--Units info".
if you using units like "feet" or "m", and unit precision is too small(like 0).
The parameters in dialog are displayed "0".
It don't work when Length or Rootwidth are 0.
This is auto convert for sketchup settings.
so you should change the settings and should change it to the numerical value excluding 0.
If thisi not solution, please reply.

@tallbridgeguy said:

Hi, tallbridgguy.
I do not understand this cause.
I certainly uploaded on this forum.
I think you should clear older ruby files of fur_en from plugins directory.
If thisi not solution, please reply.

Hi ,all.
I update version 1.3h.
WebDialog becomes smaller.
fix problem about defn for Exporter.

Thanks.

I update to version 1.3g.
Vector parameter split to 3 parameter each.
and I change preset file.
I think this vesion has problem yet.

For the time being, It going on my sketchup.
But very difficult for me to convert units.
and so tired.

Thanks.

Hmmm,
When LengthFormat is Architectural or LengthPrecision = 0,
"1.2.to_l.to_s.match(/\d(\D)\d/)[1]" return error.

Is that problem excluding this?

1.3e not working for me.

I think this is LengthFormat or LengthPrecision problem.
So I will change code..

def fur_dialog_ini
	unitoptions = Hash.new
	Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"].each{|key ,val| unitoptions[key] = val }
	Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthFormat"] = 0 if unitoptions["LengthFormat"] != 0
	Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthPrecision"] = 1 if unitoptions["LengthPrecision"] == 0
	@fur_units_metric = false
	lunit = unitoptions["LengthUnit"]
	@fur_units_metric = true if lunit >= 2
	lprec = Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthPrecision"]
	@decimal_sep = 1.2.to_l.to_s.match(/\d(\D)\d/)[1]
	@delim = ","
	@delim = ";" if @decimal_sep == ','
	unitoptions.each{|key ,val| Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"][key] = val }
end

with the 'web-dialog' accept button.
You must be passing an empty argument to a defn ?

Sorry,I will change the code.

Hi, All.
I update this to v1.3e.
Thomas,Thank you very very much!
At last, I also understood.
I use your code "decimal_sep = 1.2.to_l.to_s.match(/\d(\D)\d/)[1]".
and model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"] >= 2 then unit is metric.
It not depend to Sketchup locale.

I think that this is perhaps no problem.
please reply when there is a problem.

Thanks

Hi,All.
I update fur plugin.
Now it's version 1_3d.
this fileName will keep to "fur_en.rb" for future.
When you use this version ,you must remove older version fur plugin file from sketchup plugins folder.

Thanks.

@frederik said:

Would it be possible to add an option, where you can select that components don't intersect with each other...??

That's very difficult for me.I will challenge future.Please wait without expecting it.

@unknownuser said:

I'm french and use SU on a french vista system. In french we use the comma (,) for decimal separation
If it's 0cm it's ok, but if it's 0 cm (with space) it dont work.

Indeed,I learnt it for the first time. I will think about some measures for that problem.

@thomas said:

could you keep the filename free from the version number? That way it's easier to update by just dragging the file into the plugins folder overriding the old.

Thanks.That's right! I will keep the filename.

Hi,all.
I upadte fur plugin v1_3c(test version).

Mario..

@unknownuser said:

Hum .... Although the title says V1.3b
the download still says v1.3a

Sorry,I made a mistake in writing title.
So Current version up to 1_3c.

Thanks.

@thomthom said:

The Numeric, Float and String class has some nice methods that let you deal with units in the user's locale and in the current model's units.

Hi, Thomas.
Thanks ! I'm searching for that method.

Hi,Daniel.
I Changed menu items into sub menu named "Fur_v1_3".

@thomthom said:

Why metric and imperial? Why not just deal with the units in the way that the model is?

Hi,Thomas.
Because I think it easy to test both imperial and metric.
I am not accustomed to the imperial.
I will corrects it in future version.
Thanks for your advice.

Hi, All.
I updated make fur plugin version to 1.3a(test version).

Because I changed the format of the preset, it is not compatible with the one before.
Please warn you.

Thanks.
