Can't Use Classes Written in a New Tab
Sep 5th, 2009, 7:35pm  
For some reason, when I create a class in a new tab, it is not recognized when the sketch is run. I get this error:

Cannot find a class or type named "Cube"

It's an utterly simple sketch. Just a call to create a Cube object. I've copied and pasted the code fromt the Cube class in the 3D>Form>BrickTower example.

Help me understand.  Cheesy

cutting and pasting from here:

http://processing.org/learning/3d/bricktower.html

worked fine for me.  Does it work if you do that, instead of using multiple tabs

Oh...and are you using the right constructor syntax  E.g.:
Cube brick;
brick = new Cube(brickWidth, brickHeight, brickDepth);

if this still doesn't troubleshoot it, can you paste the code at http://nopaste.com, please

Ah! It was my own human error. The preprocessor never made it to the class definition. Wink  Thank you for your help!

Oh yeah, that's happened to me too -- a { } miscount or missing ; on the previous tab, and the preprocessor misses the next one.  Should have thought of that, glad you nabbed it.
