I updated to SketchUp 2026 and it does not crashes anymore. Thank you.

Developing ideas for the ground floor, not easy when the width of the interior is 7' 4" or, 223.52cm. Most functions/storage under the stairs. [image: 1788913660758-4-4000s-3912-x-2268-1504567-tri-1h-03m-00s-gpu-resized.png]

je lui dit "excellent" elle me renvoie ce bonus! Et on dira que les Ia n'ont pas d'humour! [image: 1788863782306-pouce.jpg]

Voilà, je ne pourrais pas mieux dire! une idée de comment l'artiste procède pour mélang.pdf

A bit late, but ... FYI : The __dir__ global method returns the path to the file that the statement is in. (This means that you cannot use this method when pasting statements into the Ruby Console.) That said, the system method call fails because you did not use string interpolation to stuff that value of the path variable into the parameter string, like so: system(%[start "New SketchUp Window" "C:/Program Files/Sketchup/Sketchup 2019/SketchUp.exe" "-RubyStartup #{path}"]) Using %[ ] is another way in Ruby of delimiting a double-quoted string that supports interpolation (and as a bonus, nested double quotes.) See: Ruby Doc : Interpolable String Literals

Well said, mate, well said. I hope technology can mediate to help us understand; we are deeply connected.

It is a tough call to make, with inflation and the foolishness going on around the world for a handful of Dick Taters. We all know cost are on the rise which goes for everyone and I for one would NOT like to be making a decision on sales methods. Do you throw it all on direct sales or look towards the 'hook' of reduced outgoing over the year? Both have the good/bad points so, what are you going to do? Like I said, a tough call, going the wrong way can ruin a lot of hard graft and with that a financial investment. I think we are possibly seeing the last of the lifetime licenses due to the unsupportable costs of lifetime support.

Can you indicate which Mac you have (Intel or ARM) and run the Window > Libfredo Settings > Fredo6 Plugins Information for Sketchucation Support menu command in SketchUp, as well as describe what does not work. Do you see the menu and toolbar, do you get error messages. I would also suggest that you open the Ruby console and leave it open when you close Sketchup. When you restart Sketchup, the console will open and show possible error messages.

Very nice

From the get go the Garage Builder was a proof of concept, and it does seem to work reasonably well. However, I'm now contemplating creating a slightly more complicated version of this tool called the House Builder. I will probably initially not include the roof or foundations for the first iteration and primarily focus on the wall layout engine (that is what is most important). Thoughts? Is there any interest for such a tool? In some way it may resemble what Chief Architect does, you create your layout in 2D, fully dimensioned and then like the Garage Builder it can with the push of a button translate that into a full 3D model on demand. The current algorithms that produce the DXF or printed drawing (PDF) will need to be further developed and augmented so that we can auto-dimension a much more complex floor plan, this should become very interesting. The goal is to be able to create, at a minimum, something like this in the House Builder tool: [image: 1788540378372-house5655_floorplan_reva3_2400-resized.jpg] I've also been giving the auto-dimensioning some serious thought and even as attractive as this may seem, there will always be cases where the user will need to manually intervene and add or subtract dimensions. So I will need to build some sort of user driven dimensioning system that will allow manual override but somehow coexist with a fully automated dimensioning system. In addition to dimensions we will also need to enable some sort of annotation system with text blocks and text with leaders (this is giving me AutoCad vibes). This in and of itself is a full on project, we may have to take this in stages.

@fredo6 You mean the dialog window "check Fredo6 Plugins for Update? I started SketchUp again and It seems to work fine with your plugins. Thanks for your reply. Rienk
