[Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Oct 2010) for SU 8 free version

[oscarlok]

Hi

This ruby tool can do intersect, union, cut, trim and split with groups only.

This is beta really, it is important to save your work before using the tool.

Here is the New improved OSCoolean (Oct 2010) !

I know that there is boolean function in SU 8 Pro, but not SU 8 free version.
There are great improvement in SU 8, so I use the SU 8 feature to write a new OSCoolean for SU 8.
Again, it is a beta version, it is important to save your work before using the tool.
This time, OSCoolean has a toolbar for selecting 2 groups, speed improved and more stable.

Oct version
* Trim & split feature added.
* Language file added.
* Chinese language. (open the file OSC_Language.lag in the Oscar folder with Notepad, then change the Lang=1 to Lang=2)

Looks very interesting and promising.

[linea]

That looks really good, a function that I have wanted for a long time.

[Gaieus]

Oscar,

This looks amazing! Nomore cleanups, no more messing with unwanted geometry!

[sepo]

Excellent news....Thank you very much...

[thomthom]

Great! I've always wanted boolean operations in SU.

[CadFather]

Thanks Oscar!

..guess it should have been part of the scf powertoolbar!

[Gaieus]

Well,finally had some time to play with it - but the same as Coen; nothing seems to happen no matter how I combine the things.

[GUNAWAN W]

[tulacong]

Thank oscarlok

[oscarlok]

Hi Everybody,

Oh ya! "Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant OSCoolean::Oscar>" (Thanks for Jim & ilay7k 's error report)

Sorry ! part of my def script is under another ruby script in Class Oscar.
Anywhere, I have repackage OSCoolean script and with OSCoolean.skp for testing.(In the FIRST post)

Thanks
Oscar

Is this an answear to this?

[remus]

Yep, this is a boolean tool, although still under development, as the author says.

[Marian]

Thanks Oscar,
This is a very cool tool, although a bit buggy, it's another work simplifier and enhancer for Sketchup
, can't wait for the improved version.
Good luck.

[Gaieus]

Thanks Oscar! Now it works (although indeed there are some little bugs - especially when there are coplanar faces with a union for instance)

[Bep]

Great development Oscar.

[Pilou]

Tell us when V 1.0 is released!

[•BTM]

Wow. I was JUST doing some intersect and delete stuff manually, and was thinking about how useful it would be if there was a ruby to do it for me. I go to see if I got any comments on posts here, and viola.

[bagatelo]

This only works on SU7...

[Whaat]

Nice job oscarlok!

I'll be watching this one. This is a long-needed feature for SketchUp.

[nomeradona]

very good script to watch... this will be another milestone. i hope it will also have bollean add. where when you intersect two volumes, the unwanted volume will be erased automatically.

[Gaieus]

If I understand your words correctly, this is exactly what happens with the script (apart from the errors/bugs).

[remus]

I think by addition he means:

[TomDC]

In most of my tries it didn't work as expected.
I think it needs a lot of development. That is not to discourage the author, as I think this has great potential and should be a commercial plugin when bugfree. I would definitely pay for it.

As would I. Certainly looks like a promising tool. Fingers crossed!

[utiler]

Well done Oscar, This is what Should have been part of SU a long while ago...
would make for 'cutting two planes' eg: windows / doors a dead issue!!!

Looking forward to the final outcome.

[Howard Leslie]

Oscar,
Thank you for working on this script.
SU has been crying out for such a tool for ages.
.........
I can get it to run OK in SU 6, but please note the following:

1. The groups of interest (those I want to union or subtract etc) must be placed in their own seperate (temporary) file - as all other geometry is deleted !!!

Other than that - seems to works well.
If I notice anything else I'll let you know.
..........
Can you get it to run with components also ??? This would make it so much more useful.
..........
Thanks once again for all your hard work with this script
Regards

Howard L'
