Hey!
I'd like to share my current progress on an add-in I'm working on for all us guitar nuts! (pun intended!) I've definitely come a long way since I set out over a year ago to try and accomplish my idea. Far from finished, but closer to the better end of the spectrum now!
I'm very new to Python (the language in which I'm writing this in), so there's a lot of opportunities for it to break/fail. It's also kind of sluggish right now due to performing all the features at once and with each input adjustment, something I definitely plan to work out. Most of the major functionality is implemented. The final version will offer the opportunity to toggle between:
Compound/straight radiused/flat fretboard
Straight-through tang cuts/blind fret tang cuts
Tang cuts On/Off
Circle markers On/Off
Nut extension On/Off
I'm absolutely open to suggestions and constructive criticism to help improve the overall experience for my project! As I keep pluggin' away at it I hope to make it more stable and improve the speed.
I've attached a .zip file if anyone's interested in giving it a whirl.
- Download and unzip the folder into a directory of your choosing
- In Fusion 360 navigate to the 'ADD-INS' button in the main toolbar or hit ' Shift+S ' to open the 'Scripts and Add-ins' window
- In the 'Scripts' tab, next to the folder 'My Scripts' select the green '+' icon
- Navigate to where you unzipped the .zip file's main folder, select it and click 'Select Folder'
- Select the newly added item in your 'My Scripts' menu and press the 'Run' button in the bottom-ride corner of the dialog window or double-click it to run it
If you do please keep in mind it is still in the beta phase and has a lot of kinks to iron out. If you stay within realistic parameters though you shouldn't see too many errors.
Thanks!
