v0.04 updated.

Good job. There was a big improvement in just a few hours.

Using the same SKP file with the face position in the same locations, some of the face profiles extruded on the wrong side and one relocated.

In all cases the path, construction point, face+edges were selected to run the plugin.

Paths that intersect will most likely need to be done in sections. Plugins have limited mind-reading abilities, but version .03 at least was able to do extrude something along the entire complex path in one step.

(These two paths upset the last plugin attempt to correct the follow me twist.)

Try to reverse face before using FAK.

I've been waiting for this tool for a while.

Thanks.

But there is something wrong:

It does not really follow the path, see attached files.

And sometimes SU quite.

OSX 10.4 SU6

Add a construciont point at the start piont of path and select it before running.

@gata said:

I have some paths where both versions of the script failed. On the bright side, they will be good for future testing.

Edit: More fun things to play with (done on the figure 8 path):

1. different results if the path is welded verses non-welded.
2. if the edges of the extruding face are also selected, the extrusion face is reversed and the extrusion location changes.

download v0.03
all problems in your skp is solved.

0.02 is the version, I had believed that was a parameter

But sorry seems you have uploaded a false version! I have always the same result and not your result !

I have uploaded a wrong package.
Sorry for that,please download v0.02 again.

I do not understand exactly the difference between the two first scenes.
See below the top view when I selelect parallel projection.
[attachment=0:14ocmtqc]<!-- ia0 -->FAK_test_scene1.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:14ocmtqc]

In the second scene,there is a construction point at start of the curve.

Seems last at the end are false!

Sorry , I did't test it without Sutool.

I have posted the fixed version,please download it again.

@remus said:

not sure if im doing something wrong but i cant see it in the plugins menu...

open fak.skp,
follow the text in the each page.

FollowMe and keep the dirction of profiles.

Tip:construction point in selection will be treated as the align_point!

v0.04 20090210
1 if path started at a vertex of profile,the vertex will be treated as align point.
2 auto reverse face to get directviewing result.

v0.03 20090209
1 start at nearest vertex when path is closed
2 fix some bugs

v0.02 20090208
1 perfect ending;
2 autosmooth.

A example

v0.04

v0.04 - I HATE .RAR FORMATS

Another script still in development can do followme and keep the profile from rolling.
Left part of the first image is followme ,right part is follow_me_and_keep .
In the second image ,the Long Corridor (exclude columns) is built by follow_me_and_keep after one time running.

Thank you very much for the info, AI!

Is it possible to show me a little demo rb_file about how to use RpTools.dll to load a dcl file?

Pardon me,if you feel my request is unreasonable,for I want to know more about it eagerly.

Pause the script a little moment to allow SU responds to the command of "close components".

Hi all.
I have a question.
I have noticed that HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Google SketchUp 7\InstallLocation stores the path of SU6.
Can someone please tell me is there any way to get the path where SU6 is installed?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
