See the point "Finishing", there you have the option "Thickening".

@rodney1717 said: The first r.b file the beamdesign.rb, it draws a section and gives you options on certain design parameters of a beam. It creates a menu under the plugins tab. This sort of works, I would use actual values for the defaults instead of the letters in case the user fails to enter all values and add a "if results" statement following the inputbox statement incase the user clicks Cancel. The second r.b file drawbox.rb I want the user to draw a line/path then the program will execute addface and followme methods to draw a beam on the path. However when I run the drawbox,rb I dont get the beam with the defined length of some reason. Can anyone please help with the Inputpoint.view method in conjuction with a follow.me method. This plugin is not working. this plugin had several coding errors which caused it to fail. I have made the necessary corrections plus others that made more sense to me. drawbox2.rb

Hi,Palo. I'm a project manager of furniture factory in Taiwan(ASIA). I know this is an old thread,but still,gotta say thanks to you, this plugin is a huge advance for our working progress. Much appreciated for you work! -Sam

I just installed it yesterday...never heard from it before....but if you are renering in Cinema4d, this is really a must have!! Wow!

Don't ask me where or when, but I recently read that it seems that Google Earth will be discontinued (fairly soon) and they are moving focus to Google Maps. Making GE Pro free seems to lend legitimacy to that. But hey, I already installed GE Pro, hopping to get the most out of it until further notice.

Does this version [which I fixed for v2014] work in the very similar v2015 ?? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=519210#p519210 The Search was NOT so difficult...

I had a 1yr son when you did this. Now I have 3 sons and grey hairs!

Kim Frederik, That's a worthy comment to read and something to think about. Perhaps, if I can obtain a Thea for Max version, I will do exactly that for the future. I'm not in the position to invest more... but, that sounds great. Thank you. I know there is still a solution for this somehow... but, this sounds like a great band-aide. Peter, thanks for the intervention. Much appreciated.

Do NOT simple copy the Plugins folder contents. There were many updates to Plugins over the last year or more to suit Ruby2 - used since v2014. You should install all available versions of your Plugins from the PluginStore... The SketchUcation PluginStore dialog lets you Auto-Install - you can copy a v2015 Plugins folder safely to another v2015 installation... A very few Plugins have not been updated to suit Ruby2, so they are unlikely to work in v2015. You can but test those that are not available in the SCF PluginStore, EWHouse etc and ask... If in doubt contact the Plugin's author directly... Most of the mainstream authors have updated their scripts over the last year or so... So those should be OK. Also, e.g. with his permission I have recently updated many of Didier Bur's scripts to suit all available SUp versions... So those are definitely the ones to get... Browse the PluginStore to see the updates........ EDIT: In the example error-code you provide the error is quite clearly explained... @dlg.add_action_callback("init"){|**@dlg**, param|...... To fix it rename it ' dlg', if it's used anywhere inside the {} [which is unlikely] then change those references to match... I suspect that most of the other errors will be fixed by getting the proper [latest] versions of the scripts...

It's working! Woop woop! I re jigged where I placed the rbx files, put them in the main plug in folder instead of in plugins>folder>rbzfolder>rbzfile sheesh. Thank you very very much for your help everyone. I really appreciate it. I'm doing some naval architecture calcs. Might post the results when it's done. thank you!

Don't use proxies, work directly with the geometry. Create your shape, then subdivide it, look at it then Undo and retouch it, then subdivide until you are happy with the result. If you are afraid of bugsplats, just copy the not subdivided geometry nearby once in a while.

FluidRay RT is having a holyday sale, 30% off for SketchUp users. http://www.fluidray.com/cyber-sketchup-2014/

What is fair depends on your point of reference. With regard to EASYsketch, if I was doing kitchen design all the time, their price as presented is fair (even if I dislike the subscription model). If I only need the plugin once a year, then it is too expensive for my purposes. As Sketchup progresses, we are seeing the emergence of a number of plugins which are quite sophisticated and cost accordingly. My basic comment is that if the price was cut in half for some of these plugins, would they sell twice as many? The basic problem is that the pricing model in the past for Sketchup plugins has been that they are cheap. Plugin developers certainly deserve to be paid for their work but they have to make the guess as to the how much they will sell at a given price. Bottom line is that the price of some of the newer plugins is too steep for my purposes.

I also would like to see such a Plugin.

Maxwell sea simply does the waves as you can see clearly in the documentation I linked. You're right - it is "obvious", however I am happy with this; thank you for your help. kind regards Chris

Clem, I would direct your problem to the Twilight forum or their support. Rendering time can change dramatically due to lights, materials & model complexity. Good luck!

CadJunkie has a bunch - a few for free, and mostly for 601 it looks like: http://cadjunkie.com/modo
