Need testers: TabGen (Fusion 360 Plug-in) improvements

I successfully used it here:

Some notes:

  1. I kept running into “plane not vertical” errors. No idea why as seemingly doing the same operation a second time would work.

  2. I frequently saw error dialog boxes but the operation worked anyway

  3. When doing the “left” vs. “right” tabs on the walls where they connect to the backpiece, the tabs are at different positions on the two. I.e. the left and right pieces are different and, if you look really close, the tabs aren’t symmetrical! I believe this is because it started the tab calculation from the “bottom” of one piece and the “top” of the other. More of a surprise than a bug and, frankly, if I knew how to actually use F360 properly, it’d never be an issue.

Super cool plugin. Saved me a ton of time. Actually, it didn’t just save me time, it enabled me to make tabbed stuff in F360 whereas I wouldn’t bother prior because it was such a pain.

THANK YOU!!
