ah you are a life saver thank you very much it works great now. i dont understand how the bracket got deleted though. i used the same zip file that i use on my other computer and that one works fine too.

Don't thank me. Thank the ruby peeps and monsieur Bur.

@unknownuser said: . . . first manually subdivide the geometry yourself . . . I thought that was the reason for getting the script, so it would do that for you? SketchUp allows me to do whatever I want pretty quick, so, it's no problem. I need to figure out how to use this fantastic script the right way - I'm still finding the script to be fascinating, providing me a very quick way to define complex geometry with ease. Happy Sketching, Brad (hey, I have my own emoticon now, thanks)

Adam, I have sent you a PM. Mike

@unknownuser said: Have you looked at http://www.smustard.com ya, the Smustard boys wrote the plug-in i've got but they got busy with other things and couldn't finish. Nice guys, did good work but I'll have to move on

Thanks for the Bridge! Putting puts all around is what I'm doing now, painfully. Really looking forward to the SU debugger.

Need to use a UVHelper - set the middle coordinate of the texture to be the same as the middle coordinate of the face (is one way).

I don’t go to the corner bar because of the political BS , truthers and the free energy speeches/conversations; could we please keep the political BS out of the rest of the forum? Or maybe not, since I am breaking the request myself. @igor said: and since when is our moronic president a sketchup user? does he use it to design weapons to obliteraite what tiny scraps are left of the iraqi government? or to make plans to tottaly screw over the entire economy and education system? hopefuly, this is only your user name, and you are not the loony that is our president. i, however, have no idea how to help you with your converter problem. ask Solo.

hi bobu, the OBJImporter.rb plugin doesn't work always well with such models (besides that it takes a long time to convert the model) I'd suggest to use Wings 3d, which is opensource and free to make the conversion. It has always worked well for me. http://www.wings3d.com/ /matteo

I don't know but just this one for the "tools on surface" rebuild new icons

Thanks for the responses. I have persevered with the dialog.execute_script because this seems right and proper, but I think at least for the moment I have to fall back on the exception business - probably try ... catch rather than window.external as I use that a lot during development stages. Thanks again. Chris

Awesome. Thanks guys. The flip along azix workded for me but the ruby helps too.

This sounds brilliant Adam. Great to see that a BIM software function is possible within Sketchup.

Ok, thank you ! It's so hard to play with screen dimension in SU... But I headed for solution ! Thank you all !

Im pretty sure such a plugin doesnt exist, and itd be a cool one to have, so if anyone can be bothered...

Red Herring: My shortcuts problem was a different bug. I was trying to map the "add scene" command, which is a known bug. You have to tweak the registry to fix it. CB.

Thanks Tavi, must check that out

Thanks for the replies everyone.
