Release: Frame Builder V1_9

[NateLiqGrav]

Thanks Harold!

That error means the you selected edges of a part inside a subassembly. The part needs to be in the top level of the assembly. It's a limitation I made to prevent having to calculate more layers.

 

[HaroldL]

Got it. I picked the wrong file to put in the assembly.

Thanks.

Nate, you'll need to update Frame Builder to v23.

 

[NateLiqGrav]

I will but I need a little time to test the updates I've made.

 

[NateLiqGrav]

My apologies for the delay. In hindsight - I should have just used a previous saved backup - and added the new Alibre Design version numbers and shipped it. Instead, I wanted to include the new features and that's taken longer than expected. Anyways, the new version will be uploaded within 24 hours with new features and some big bug fixes.

Can be used in Alibre Atom?

Can be used in Alibre Atom?

No - Atom3D does not support Script.

Unfortunetly I can't launch Your script- I have an error:
"IOError: System.IO.IOException: Could not add reference to assembly AlibreX.dll". Could it be ALibre installed at D disc, while sripts are at their standard location at C:/?

Could not add reference to assembly AlibreX.dll

@NateLiqGrav
May you add something like this...:

import _winreg
import os

def getalibrepath():
    hKey = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software\\Alibre, Inc.\\Alibre Design")
    result = _winreg.QueryValueEx(hKey, "HomeDirectory")
    return result[0]

alibrex = getalibrepath() + 'Program\\AlibreX.dll'

Regards
Stefan

I will fix very soon.

@idslk Thanks, I saw that in one of your scripts and knew I'd need to do that eventually.

Please try V1_5. To everyone else if you don't have this problem then I wouldn't recommend installing this version as that is the ONLY change.

Frame Builder V1_6_3 Released.

Hi Nate,
Thanks for you initiative!.
Idea for future improvement: Now the solid base for your script, Frame Builder, is a prismatic one, so only with exterior straight edges. Is it feasible with exterior curved edges like arc or spline one?

Potentially, I'll have to look into it. If I could it would then be up to the user to make sure it is practical and possible to actually do the bending.

For sure. In my case very practical for frames and girders.
