[Plugin] Double lineHi all,
Remember good ol' dline.lsp in Autocad ? Here is a similar plugin to draw these kind of things: Available options (on TAB press): -justification -caps -draw axis -draw face -make group -width and height -close Enjoy ! EDIT 21.09.08: "close" option added, options selection persistent. EDIT 23.09.08: changed the shortcut for "close" option: "x" instead of "c" which is a default shortcut for "circle". EDIT 25.09.08: changed the shortcut for "close" option: double-click. EDIT 26.09.08: changed the "undo": one wall at a time. EDIT: 10.04.10 file_loaded? bug fixed EDIT: 11.04.10 file_loaded? call removed EDIT: TIG Please download the latest RB [in RBZ format] from the SketchUcation PluginStore It is now recoded for compatibility with MAC & PC and suitable for v8 to >=v2015. TAB (up) now opens the dialog on MAC and PC. Its lines are forced 'flat' - constrained to the first picked point's Z. If it's grouped it is given a unique name ["DLINE#n"].

Re: [Plugin] Double lineAll hail the WISE and KIND DIDIER.
![]() Re: [Plugin] Double lineI was missing this tool. Many thanks indeed!
Some minor problems: 1/ Sometimes it refuses to make "walls" after tracing over existing lines. 2/ Sometimes it it makes negative Z height. 3/ Could the last parameters input be remembered? ---- Could there be option to get vertical (along world z axis) not perpendicular "wall" to sloped face?...with sloped\terraced upper cap to keep average height? ![]() Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi,
1/I know how to fix this. wait next release 2/This happens when you draw a wall on an existing face. this is normal, the workaround is to ask for making a group in the dialog box, or create a group with the existing face you want to draw on. 3/Yes. For now the tool only remembers prameters if you draw several walls without exiting it. P.S.: I guess a "close" option to come back to the very first point would be nice ? Didier Bur
Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nancy (F) Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi Didier !
Thank you for this another great plugin !! J'ai juste un petite question : Tu dois connaitre archicad ! L'outil de dessin de mur permet de modifier la justification du pan de mur que l'on va dessiner... I have a question for you : I suppose you know Archicad... In archicad, we have possibility of changing the justification while you are drawing the 2d wall... For example : Wall 1 = Justification "center" Wall 2 = Justification "Left" etc.. In just one command ! Is it possible to do that ? Frenglish at its best !
My scripts Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi Didier
thanks, this is great. Re: [Plugin] Double lineSome enhancemments added today. See top of post.

Excellent idea - I was working on something similar, mine was called 'mline' - you beat me to it ! Well done. I can't get 'C' to work closing the loop - I have a short cut for circle that's 'c' so it dumps into that. Perhaps having something like shift+enter to close might do it ? .

Re: [Plugin] Double line@ Tig Same problem but ...
Just enter any number then backspace for erase it then write c then Enter ![]() And you can keep your C shortcut ![]()
Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi Didier !!
One question : Is it possible to add an "undo" key inside the command ? Thank you ! Frenglish at its best !
My scripts Re: [Plugin] Double lineDo you know how easy this tool makes it to create pieces of wood for my models!!!! Hit D, enter 2 of the dimensions, click click, done.
That is awesome, thank you... See all of my SketchUp models here.
Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi,
I noticed that also at the office on a standard install of SU, at home my PC doesn't have the "c" shortcut... BTW, how to detect the Shift+enter keys pressed ? I was thinking of a "x" shortcut instead but Shift+enter is more intuitive. @honolulu: no, no additionnal files required. Maybe a glitch with the pushpull if you are on Mac ? @Pilou: want always more, hey ? i'll try to do it... Didier Bur

Re: [Plugin] Double line
With some arcs now? ![]()
Re: [Plugin] Double line
No no no. Ask TIG! ![]() BTW, you can draw walls that include arcs with the "line2wall*.rb" scripts. Didier Bur

The code is basically "if key1== enter AND key2== shift then..." For example

Re: [Plugin] Double linePatch published today. Shortcut for "close" changed to "x" instead of "c".

Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Nancy (F) Re: [Plugin] Double lineDamned I have x for X-Ray
![]() So my previous trick will work fine again ![]()
It's like Glen Gould but works ![]()
Re: [Plugin] Double line
Didier Using "X" is a good choice: x is usually reserved for copying - e.g. x3 to make copies within other commands and isn't a shortcut... If like Pilou you want to use 'X' as a shortcut for something like X-ray you need to remember to use 3x for copies rather than x3, as the latter will invoke X-ray rather than make copies ! Persoanlly I use Alt+X for X-ray mode... TIG
Re: [Plugin] Double line
cool little trick ![]()
Re: [Plugin] Double lineGreat work, Didier! Thanks so much for sharing!
a couple little things: when I choose "show axis"... it does not show... whether or not I have it pop the wall up. After drawing a wall, I exit the tool, then I want to draw a double line vertically on a face, so I choose to use the tool again... set width to 12", no face, no close. I draw a vertical line from top edge to bottom edge of the wall face. I hit enter for it to draw the double line. I get this.
Re: [Plugin] Double lineHi,
Axis is drawn with guide lines (construction lines). Do you have them visible ? Remember axis will only be visible if justification is "Center".
Oh yes, I noticed that here too. The part of line up the wall is always exactly half the width of the wall ![]() As a matter of fact, this is normal: for the script to work in 3D, I had to compute the geometric plane on which the first two segments are drawn. Thus if you click only one segment, two points aren't enough to define the plane of the base. In this case the script considers that the plane is the red-green plane. And your points have the same projection on the red-green plane. So an error occurs. Hope I'm clear, hem,hem... But I'll try to fix that if I can. Didier Bur
