right...that'd work... i'll just be more careful next time and keep the original safe and sound... first time really using the plugin for a project. thanks for the help.

@jim said: Report Ruby bugs and Ruby documentation issues in this thread. Done. Thanks.

Ah! Thank you Adam. But I think I may just be being too lazy to check if the files exists...

No - in fact, I've found this observer to be very volatile. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20676 I think that all the observers should be tested properly and an official bug report submitted to the tracking system to ensure they are accounted for and maybe even bump the issue. (I'm leaving for England for a week - so I won't have any time myself until afterwards. Maybe someone would like to start?)

Fredo and tig thank you very much for your time. It really is appreciated

No thanks, SUN no I was asking the plugins are SUTool 2010 = plugins organizer thanks for answering

Most plugins use the same convention - for a loading ruby and accompanying folder with support files zipped. The only variation is some of the commercial packages comes with installers so users don't have to locate the SU plugins folder. But then you need to make an installer for each OS. As for documentation - Fredo is a good example of well documented plugins.

Maybe version 6 behaved differently? I can check... No, 2 faces on the RG plane with opposite normals, +Z and -Z, each pushpulled +10, each extruded in the direction of the normal - so one went up, the other went down.

@thomthom said: Will the browsers accept that ID you give the element? Hmmm. Yes for IE 8.

Martin, I write all my code for Windows & IE I noticed some of your code had attributes that were not quoted. W3C says... Sometimes I assemble/modify the html as a string, then use set_html. All of my html is loaded as a string I've got 3 or 4 'dynamic' web dialogs in an extension at http://www.ChampionEnt.net/tech/ur/ if any of it might interest you, let me know and I can post or send the code. Due to the 'modal window' issue, some of the code only works on a PC (settings window) Haven't really tested it lately on an Apple... Wrote some C# code to change an html file into a Ruby friendly string HTH, Greg

A polygon mesh is all just triangles? hmm... That would be interesting for the Normal Probe I just made...

My mistake it was 'Combine Textures' function I was thinking of. Haven't upgraded to 7 yet. Nice tip about the unfold plugin prior to use though.

The first version of the GostCompplugin is now released at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=21469

That's a like a very hacky wacky workaround. And the site talks about IE5 and Navigator... a wee bit old resource.

http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/EM/materials.rb Yes, it imports pictures as materials in SketchUP but i cannot get it to work. I open it from the menu, choose a folder with jpg but nothing gets imported into materials window. There must be a problem with folder names - I changed the name of the folder with the pictures and gave it an english name - it was cyrillic and it worked then!

Thanks, Ken. OFF TOPIC: You might be interested in looking this over. See movie of April 24th here: http://www.lakeinterceptor.com/pivot/archive.php?c=RSS&o=21&w=rss Overview Video of project: http://www.lakeinterceptor.com/schedule_details.php#OutofLake Attached are some exports from SU of some very crude concept designs. [image: HDPE Underwater Suspension Concept - Lake Oswego, OR .jpg] [image: Manhole 1, buoyant concept.jpg] Also attached are images that "Solo" did for us. They are of an older design of the stainless steel underwater buoyant manhole and tethers. Initial design concepts were all done in SketchUp. [image: sinescene.jpg] [image: sineunderwater.jpg]

No I wasn't. I had forgotten about that. It helps a quite a bit 68 sec without, 11 sec with, and 6 sec if no start/commit used. But still first run 11 sec and second run it only takes 2 sec.

i like the way it generates the 360 degree pictures automatically. is there another way to do that automated?
