Hi Stardust,
> Is it possible to add dimensions and angles of a model, as in
> sketchup, by adding a script?
Sorry no, that's not really feasible for a script. Scripts can do things like automate existing functionality but dimensions are something that need need low level support in the draw engine, they're not like just automating and repackaging existing functionality like a script can usually do.
So it's not really something that can be added by a script, it needs to be added more directly into some of the core MoI modules.
> I think it would be very useful :)
Certainly it would be! I am planning on working on it for v4.

Thank you Michael, sounds promising for v4

I wrote this script today evening for my friend. It's very primitive, but it's better than nothing. :)
I have no plans to continue developing of this script. Sorry.

I have not the "little Lines" of extremities!
Must I draw them separately ?
And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click ! :)
Seems Scale inactive! ?

Very useful - many thanks Max! :)
Hi Pilou:
> I have not the "little Lines" of extremities!
Me neither.
> Must I draw them separately ?
I guess so. Max?
> And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click !
Any helper lines can be created immediately after starting script but before first click defining location of dimension arrow head #1.
> Seems Scale inactive! ?
It's activated after 'first click' for arrowhead #1.
Cheers,
Hamish

<< but before first click defining location of dimension arrow head #1.
Ahhh yes! Different than the normal use of a script!
So cool!
<< It's activated after 'first click' for arrowhead #1.
Ahhhh yes! Funny use! So very cool! :)

HI eric (ERICCLOUGH)
first time
You need to copy the two files in the commands folder of MOI
second time
you need to add the shortcut keys and the command :
_dimensions

Script update. Fixed few bugs. Changed internal structure. Script modifications should be easier.
Frenchy Pilou
>> Must I draw them separately ?
Yes, you should draw them manually.
>>And alas we can't use the Helpers lines for align because of the second click ! :)
You can use LockConstructionLine script
code:
var cln =0, gd = moi.geometryDatabase, cl = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(), cll = cl.length;
for (var i=0; i<cll; i++) if (!cl.item(i).isTemporary) cln++; if (cln == cll) { gd.removeObjects(cl) } else { cl.setProperty( "isTemporary", false ) }
Bind it to key. Draw construction lines. Run script (the lines will be locked). Run script again to delete the lines.

Thank you :)

Cool!
French version Updated! :)

Max, that's fine!
This is what the Bolsheviks were dreaming! ))))
I download and run the testing. Thank you very much!
You are, as always, is a genius!

Forget to say about hidden features.
Double click title to load default values
Double click "Scale" to reset scale.

All day a nice surprise! :)

Beautiful script, Max!
as usual... :-)
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot, Max. Its quite usefull.
From: eric (ERICCLOUGH)
Hi Max ..
Does this insert into the original script and if so, where?
Or does it replace all or part of it?
thanks,
eric
From: Frenchy Pilou (PILOU)
Maybe like this
Just put it inside the Right Columm of a new ShortCut
but write "script:" on the beginning of the line!
So
script:var cln =0, gd = moi.geometryDatabase, cl = gd.getObjects().getConstructionLines(), cll = cl.length;
for (var i=0; i<cll; i++) if (!cl.item(i).isTemporary) cln++; if (cln == cll) { gd.removeObjects(cl) } else { cl.setProperty( "isTemporary", false ) }
Launch the Dimension Script
Call the script of persistant lines
Draw your helper lines
Draw your Dimension
Draw your helper lines
Draw your Dimension
etc
ps I have no more the Button OK that is normal ?
