Axon Tool for Rhino

[jordo]

As many of you might have noticed, rhino does not give you a true axon
by setting the camera option to "parallel"...

I have uploaded a macro tool into the file section. Attached are two
files in the zipped folder.

Step1: copy the axon.rvb file to this location: C:\Program Files
\Rhinoceros 3.0\English\Scripts

Step2: copy the axon.tb file to: C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros
3.0\System

Step3: in rhino, (menu) tools, click “toolbar layout”, in the toolbars
dialog box, “file open” the axon.tb file from the location where you
copied it. Click the axon box in the toolbars window (lower window).
This will open a single button toolbar with the axon icon.

Step4: click the axon tool. Click “enter” at every option in the
status bar as the default setting make an axon. This will make a 2d
axon with correct dimensions.

What does it kick back as an error?

[Michael Frederick]

Source:  RhinoScript

Error:     Type mismatch in parameter.  Array required.

Line:      69

char:      0

code:     0

 

also I had to make a directory called

C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 3.0\English\Scripts

 

I didn't have that directory because I'm on 4 instead of 3.   don't know if that would matter.  I looked in the equilivant file path for v4 and there is no scripts directory under English?  I wonder if they moved where scripts are stored and thats whats messing things up??

Oh. yeah just throw the script file in the system folder. You
shouldn't need a new folder. let me know if that works.

hmmm.... I tried that,  same error.  It gets all the way through the set up commands like its going to do it and then at the last step backs out and gives that error message.....

bummer

Sorry I have no clue why it would do that.
