Hi,all.
I update version1.1a.

...andyomis.
I placed the profile list file in the top of threadhttp://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=35798#p315482
please download "default_pflist.csv" or "northAmerica_pflist.csv" or "default_pflist_xml(unzip from default_pflist_xml.zip)".
And change profile list path.
"menu" -> "plugins" -> "building structure tools1.0" - > "change profile list path"

....SUFractal.
The problem is related to web browser "Safari".
I changed css styles about textbox text color to white.
Probabry you will see texts in textbox.
(But that problem is not shown on my mac os, so it fixed "probabry")
...Ken.
I fixed about sending command with imperial length to webdialog.

Thanks to becoming Completion for all.

Thanks tak2hata.

(Not sure if this matters, but I generally don't use Safari anyway.)

Hello

After installing V 1.0a, I have the following error code. Not sure why.

Thanks in advance for your plugins and help

Thanks for the update 1.1b. It fixed the above illustrated error. However, I notice now, that the beams selection will not make any beams that are vertical. It will make beams close to vertical but not exactly 90 degrees. As close as I can get to vertical is 0.067 degrees off vertical. I didn't see this problem on the first version.

Again thanks for the quick response on the other error.

What do I need to do to select North American shapes?

[tak2hata]

What do I need to do to select North American shapes?

place it valid path.(the path must not include non-english characters)
And Set that file by the menu "Change Profile List Path".
Menubar -> "Plugins" -> "building structure tools v1.0" -> "Change Profile List Path"


It will work fine!

Excellent! (White text in black box = clever!) The basic function appears to be working now. I'll jump into the fancier features you've added when I get a chance.

Thanks again tak2hata ... this is a great plugin!

Hi,Ken.

I want to see your description as picture.and parameters in webdialog.

And I have an elementary question.
"degrees" is units of distance?
In my country ,distance is decimal.so I'm not used to be the degree as distance.
Does 90 degrees equal to 1/4"?

Thanks.

The three illustration show a yellow background rectangle, 2'wide by 10' tall. Starting at the bottom at the center line closest I can get the 4x13 I beam to vertical is 9/64 off the center vertical line at the top. So right now I can not draw any beams exactly vertical.


Hope this helps.

Ken:

For comparison's sake, I did a similar test and do not seem to have an issue with true verticality. I used the 'column' tool and my column was 12'-0" tall. I noticed that you used the term 'beam' ... are you by any chance using the beam tool to try to draw a vertical line as a column? Is that perhaps the cause?

SUFractal

[Ken]

Well yes, I am using the beam tool, along with the "bar, T-bar, pipe, angles and beams" None these selection will make a vertical object. Note, zooming in for a real close view, I can see that as long as the top (note going from the top to bottom doesn't make a difference) selection point is outside the area where the point will be snapped to the vertical I can make any of the above objects. However, if I let Sketchup snap take over and the point is snap to a vertical position, than the program will not make the selected object, "beam, bars, pipe angle or beams". See the attached file.

Hi,Ken,SUFracatal.

I understand this problem.

This is mistake of mine.

But this code is not so.

I will fix this bug later.Now I am out of my computer.

Thanks.

Hi.
At first,when working with the class "wall" ,you can not pick second point to vertical.

I need to know more detailed information if this is not your case.

1. Screen shot of setting inBst dialog.
2. The axis the slope directing to.(x,y,z)
3. The message Ruby console shows when the error is exists.
4. I want to see the two picked points were truely vertical.

Please reply about lines above.
Thanks

Hi,zfrps.
"MWALL" is not able to create automatically from curves.
I will test "COLUMN" auto create.

tak2hata:

Does this reply mean this problem?

Thnx.

[ZFRPS]

Dear tak2hata:
Yes!
Especially about automatically created "column ";before it's nice,now it need strengthen.

Thanks!

[tak2hata]

Hi,zfrps and all.
I update BST version to 1.1e.
Bugfix about auto creating columns.
And improves.

BST becomes nice tool step by steps.

Thanks.

Maybe only need keep one of dialog box!

[ZFRPS]

tak2hata:

K03.jpg

now, a times only can choose one entity or face,Whether it can be a much choose?

moreover, have extend to face already,so maybe show to face no need !?

Thanks!

[ZFRPS]

Dear tak2hata:
However,I still have some ideas to speak out,Because I love too the plugin,I believe that your this plugin will produce very big help to BIM.

1. grow to face only useful for "Z",but for MWALL is invalid;
2. The shape of the face for ladder;grow or extend is invalid too;
3. One-time much choose can greatly improve the efficiency of the modeling.
....

THANKS AGAIN !

Very powerfull tool, this very very usefully for construction with sketchup, Thanks Tak2hata, your creative brough the good things come to other

[SUFractal]

tak2hata:

I have what I hope is a simple question. How do I change the color of any beam, column, etc. before placing/drawing it? In the webdialog box, the option default is black. No matter which color I type into the box, the color remains a light blue color.

Thanks,

SUfractal

[tak2hata]

Hi,
I am too busy.So I can not improve my plugins.

Multiple "Grow to face" will be added.

I will consider applying "Grow" for "MWALL".

The color is material.
Beams material is created from "FRONT FACE MATERIAL" and "BACK FACE MATERIAL".
It appears random color when the materialnames in "FRONT FACE MATERIAL" and "BACK FACE MATERIAL" is not existed in sketchup model.

So you may set sketchup templete with the materials.

Thanks.

[SUFractal]

That makes sense!

Thanks.
