it's not the only important button in sketchup that does't look like a button.

Thank you

Good job! Thanks!

Two ways for the case with three different curves... (Curviloft und Extrude tools) [screenr:3tahe3ec]QvgN[/screenr:3tahe3ec]

You must delete unwanted vertical faces [by fence] ?

This sounds to me like an application for a Dynamic Component instead of a plugin. You could make a dynamic component that would do all of that. You need the pro version of SketchUp to make Dynamic Components or you might be able to hire someone to do it.

It would be easy if you did it right. But it is a computer program and GIGO applies.

.......Added to what all have said, It helps me save the elements in my design for later use in my components folder. R

Select the edge Activate Move + Ctrl Pick a start point Move the edge in the desired direction Type the distance desired + <enter> [say 6] The copy of the edge is made moved 6 units in that direction Immediately typing another distance changes the moved amount Next immediately type the number of copies you want, followed by x and <enter> So for 10 copies that'd be 10x The moved edge is replicated 10 times in the direction you chose, beyond the first copy, using the same distance each time... To copy a number of edges between the original and the first copy's position use /10 instead... then the space between the original edge and the first copy is subdivided with new duplicates, evenly spaced to fit in...

Well Dave gave you an alternate solution above. Having a plugin that specific does not seem very practical. Either take the time to model the gap between cabinet doors or fake it. Either Dave's way or after the rendering just strike a line in your photo editor of choice. Personally I would just take the extra time to model the details I want to see in the rendering. It makes for a more realistic result. My 2 cents.

@djh said: How would one "trim" around the Eiffel Tower? there is one [at least] in 3D warehouse, download and have a look at how it was done... sounds like you need to be using the 'image' as texture, and paint it onto shapes you make... john

Have a look at Fredo6's Curvizard, it wont make them squares but you can certainly get some good results/clean lines over multiple shapes using simplify contour or cleanup contour, have a go and see if it helps.

Hi, thanks for your reply yes it should be smt like this pls how did you do it ? in fact I would like to do smt like this I could make it by hand, but with the help of skp, my geometry would be more precise so, I need a sphere, and in his surface, I would like to put a lot of holes, like some craters, but personaly, I need holes only, nothing more complicated thanks guys, I really need your help [image: BOBn_p.107gingatetsudo999.jpg]

OK..I found the API token. I think I'm uploading..does it take a long time before the model appears on my models page?

I understand. So if you have to use that model in SketchUp, it seems you can have soft edges on the terrain or you can keep the vertical faces but you get to decide. Fortunately deleting the unneeded geometry is a simple two step process in SU.

You gotta learn how to use plugins: TT CleanUp to the rescue!

yes, thanks it worked

For them that don't like adding plugins and is a little easier then @unknownuser said: mothod of Jean Lemire » June 19th, 2009, 7:33 am Here is a SU (SU way) 2D Multiple Face Extrusion It can be done Thus By makeing a 3d base volume ancher then use the move tool. Like this [image: maTZ_duke07Apr.2704.16.jpg] Trick or skill: Alot of plug-in can be done in sketchup with some insight. Also you can unlock the axes of the move tool with the arrow keys too.

lol i'm assuming you know how to get a .rbz into su8? if not.. let me know.

post a representative sample of your csv file and I'll make a short tutorial... basic are: create an image from your data - open your data >> Print >> save as PDF >> open in Preview >> export Tiff . in SU - draw a rectangle same digits as your image pixels [ i.e. 430, 660 in Measurements box ] >> 'push/pull' a little open Materials >> Color >> New Texture and import your Tiff >> Paint the face use 'line tool' to divide your face [ you can use others as well ] push/pull your amounts... john
