J Lucas Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Any clues regarding how to create a VectorScript Plug-in using a script and the VectorScript Plug-in Editor would be greatly appriciated. I followed the steps provided in the help dialog but it did not work. The script works fine when run simply as a text file but does not work when made into a plug-in with the VS Plug-in Editor. I am sure I am missing some simple step not included or clearly stated in help. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi... Care to explain your process exactly so we have an idea of where you can be making a mistake? Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sure: Open VectorScript Plug-in Editor; select New; Enter name for plug-in and choose type(I tried both Command and Tool); hit OK; open VectorScript Editor and paste script text; hit OK, OK; use the Workspace Editor to add the command to a drop down menu; choose command from the drop down menu and it does not work.

Farookey Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Interesting... I guess the next step is to see what type of Plug-in it is... It seems as though you are doing the right thing as I have created them from scripts in the past and the only different thing I do is adjust the properties and category of the Plug-ins. Do us a fave, and paste the script here with a small description of what it does. I will attempt to create it on my end. Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Funny you should ask. It is your script that you posted the other day to reset the tops of walls! Quote Link to comment
maarten. Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Happens to me too. A restart of VW2012 solved it for me. Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 LOL... Yes, that is funny... I tried another example to ensure I was doing it right before my previous post, and I used the SAME script. And it worked... I am now wondering if it could be a VW2012 thing. I am still using VW2011 by the way. So, you have the 'peaked' wall selected before running the command?... I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't work... Yikes! Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 A restart... but of course... That solves so much stuff! Although, there was no need to do that in 2011... Quote Link to comment
J Lucas Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 The restart did it. Thanks Farookey & maarten! Farookey: That is one very useful script! Surprising that such a simple and useful command is not included in VW out of the box. Quote Link to comment
Farookey Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Couldn't agree with you more! Quote Link to comment
