ALL stairs scripts

Abidos

Heya!

Here is a script that is able to create stairs using various scripts for making stairs in their current version/state. One of these is all mine!

Names of scripts (buttons) use names/nicks of the authors. Each button has a tip which shortly explains the script's result. Some of script have own interface which appears after selecting the script and clicking "OK" on the main interface. For integration of scripts in one .py file, I have made minimal changes - just to make it possible all scripts work. Should more of one script is selected, several stairs are being created at the end. Therefore, one of the changes is at the end of 3 scripts of jms to result in different mesh (different name).

Using their default values, the first two of each category do produce the following:

Script_dail

=================================================

Script_abidos

I know there are at least 2 more scripts for making stairs. The polish one had problems to get integrated cause it has own interface which quite complicated....

I've made the script on request and as soon as there are objections from authors their scripts will be taken out or the whole current script deleted. I think though that it will be useful for those who need to make stairs and need to choose the type, etc.... I hope missing scripts will be integrated in the next version. Should there are more NOT included, please send a link here!

just began to test this and looks good
lot's of flexibility and choice

first time we have a script with different stairs type - that's great

suggestions

1 - questions of licenses you need names of peoples inside the script
as per GNU license i guess

so in the GUI i would prefer to see name of the type of stair
it's easier to select which one to do!

you know like calimacon - spiral straight ect...

the only one i did not see are the stairs like 1/2 circle for churchs!

Happy blendering

The problems with the names of authours is that I DONT know them, only the nicks

Should there are proper descriptive names, I may be use them. Here the problem is that you cannot write on the buttons much more than what is written already (number of chars is quite limited). I wanted to put a small pic (icon) for each type of stairs but it is NOT possible in PupBlock... Another problem is that you need to have N pics in your Blender scripting directory and the people dont like to bother soooo much.... On the top of this, a problem is that some scripts can produce stairs that look quite different soooo what will be the name?!?!?

Nice work Abidos! I'm glad someone put my script to use! I do agree with Ricky. Hopefully several people will be using this, so including a GNU license might be useful and better names on the buttons would be nice. Also, for my script i was able to hit space and go to Add->Mesh->Stairs inside of blender. If you add this to the top of the code and put it in the scripts directory it will auto load it.

Code:

"""
Name: 'Stairs'
Blender: 249
Group: 'AddMesh'
Tip: 'Creates a different types of stairs.'
"""

Oks, dail... I updated it - the new version is here... The link in the first posting is also updated... I hope this will work cause havent had time to test it!

RickyBlender

agree that pic to upload are a mess cause you need theses in blender script folder

but there is a way around it by using opengl thingny

then you can add dwg inside the GUI directly

check out the script file i sent tp you
it show an example of this feature for curves

which is very nice to look at

i'l try to think of nice names for the different stairs
like helicoidal or spiral ect,,,

Heya,

Here is an update of ALL stairs script - version 1.1.0. Included are stairs scripts of gucias and ozturk....

For proper running of gucias script, you need to copy stcrstairs12.png into you scripts directory.

The ozturk's stairs sometimes become a bit strange (when you run the script for a second time in one session) but this is a problem of his script - I have only integrated it into the list.

EDIT: Links updated as per the posting #12 (see below)...

Hi

The site where I put the script seems to not keeping it forever....

Here is the version 1.0.0 of the script, i.e. the first one. I hope to re-build the links for version 1.1.0 tomorrow cause I do have troubles with finding it now, too!

Heya,

Here is the update of "ALL stairs" script - version 1.1.0. I tried to make it possible to call it from "Scripts" menu, "Mesh" sub-menu..... For gucias stairs script, you need to have stcrstairs12.png copied into you scripts directory as well.
