Hello,
I have a problem with direction, first two poles are right but rest are doing there own thing… How it must work is the pole and rails are selected and then the text appear in the direction of the rail. For text I used Wombat.
Is there a different way to fix this, tried with line trough points but then they will not align in the direction with the rail.
Yes, Text Tag 3D would be much better than a plugin. But I’ve already gone way beyond that… Including a lot of geometry cleanup
Really hate to ask questions but have hit an obstacle. In your code, it looks like one half of the poles get “SD-SB-D” in their labels and the other half gets “SD-BB-D” (“SB” vs. “BB”). What’s up with that? I could write a better question but would rather finish the code I’ve started.
Cleaned it up and changed it fo 3D text, no plugin!
The “SD-BB-D” *(“SB” vs. “BB”) where used to distinguish between left and right side of the poles but no longer needed (first 12 poles named SB and the other BB) rn I would be very very happy if we can fix the orientation. Been trying a lot of things past hour noting works :<
I started from scratch so suspect a lot of duplication between your code and mine. I didn’t have answers regarding the labels so assumed “SB” and “BB” face opposite directions.
You can swap inputs and/or reverse lists to get what you want.
P.S. Looking at your latest code now and see one pole with no label? Perhaps you didn’t clean up the geometry as well as I did? I had to cull a short horizontal fragment that got mixed in with the poles, and sort them to be sequential.
I’m sure it is but I don’t know what you’re talking about. Is there an error in my code? If the error is yours, the “Pottery Barn Rule” applies: you break it, you buy it. In other words, it’s yours.
P.S. Maybe you are referring to the fact that my perp frames are perpendicular to a interpolated curve I drew (connecting the points) instead of perpendicular to the fence rails?
I don’t know what you mean? You can replace the interpolated curve with a polyline (straight segments between points), which helps a little… But your fence rails aren’t even straight
You know, those horizontal “rails” are garbage and should be replaced using GH to make them straight between the poles, all the same size and height. Whoever drew them so poorly did you no favor Furthermore, the vertical poles also could be created in GH (cylinders), using only points to define their positions and otherwise the same height and diameter.
Even if I were willing to install your plugin, which I’m not, how could I try your changes and answer your question when you didn’t post your GH? Don’t bother, you’re on your own.
P.S. Oh, by the way, the plane pairs we have been discussing and laboring over are completely useless now I left them in but they are really not needed.
