Well that's not a dumb question! I was expecting something like: "Did that guy that made Ruby own Ruby Tuesdays?" (can anyone think of something grander?)

Hi Guys, thank you all a lot for the feedback tapermaker is even better than what I had in mind & Personally I think this could be added even in the must have plugin.

@tig said: To take it to its logical conclusion you extract all of the skp data into a data file... That is in effect the skp file so why have you bothered ? That's what I've been thinking as well. I think we need some clarification on the actual purpose of the original question. I could be that the question itself isn't correct.

Also, when experience problems with plugins, open the Console Window as it might output useful information to pin point the problem. Remember, you have to open the window before you do any action you know fail. Opening it afterwards will have no use.

Thanks, I'll do just that!

nah bob.. no sucker punch.. i just found out about it 3 weeks ago or so when i finally upgraded to leopard and read one of those "99 hidden leopard features" type of articles..

@jim said: Myles, I'd be willing to create a Dynamic Component for you to try if you can send it to me with an explanation. You could also upload the Component here, if you'd like. Jim, that's a very nice offer. I'll see if I can upload something here - it would be very simple.

Hi All This should work for almost any "movie" format. Super translator from and to===== http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html Such as avi-mov-wmv to swf/flv etc. Audio and Video settings. I have used this a bunch and no VD. It will make you scroll through info before getting to the download and will beg for a small $$$ when you go to settings. One will need to know settings for each file formatb but works like sliced bread when you configure correctly. Hint: deselect DirectShow Decode [ ]box dtr

Jim! I need to buy some brain memory How can I forgot that! Of course ! Thanks!

ok i'll look into it Thanks!

Excellent ! MALAISE

Thanks everyone! Cleanup_model.rb did the trick! with thanks to John H. Aughey for the script.

very funny.

sorry hope im not hijacking but this has been bugging me about photomatch, you can't match a photo that has been corrected to 2 point perspective, and if u can't control the photo through the API can u control the guiding lines? like is the any way to lock the blue axis in a vertical possition to force it into 2 point?

Another of my favorite tools for this stuff is Stray Lines. Often when a face does not close it is because the lines don't actually meet up correctly. So label stray lines goes through and puts a little text tag at each line end that does not meet another end. So you can see VERY easily all lines that don't actually touch. Sometimes theya re obvious, but often they are virtually impossible to find w/o this tool. Chris EDIT: To make it more clear, once the lines are labeled, it then makes it clear where to go to start filling in the missing segments, deleteing, extending lines, etc.

It's a false positive. Report it to the makers of your anti-virus application. The PDF documentation of Profile Builder is safe, I've used it since the beta with no infections caused by it.

That fixed it! Thank you, Sang.

Hey, that works great Jim, thanks! [me thinking this through out loud to make sure I have the logic straight] So the VCB is being set to blank because another tool is being called (oribt). Defining a resume method tells my tool what to do when it is resumed? Excellent. Thanks Jim, Chris

My TubeAlongPath.rb can fail if the path's line segments are too short. Also its cousin PipeAlongPath.rb might be more forgiving and better trapped. Also use sensibly few sides for the tube/pipe - having lots of sides adds little to its appearance but multiplies up the number of faces... Short path segments are trapped [at least an attempt to trap] since SketchUp's FollowMe tool fails on paths with short lengths where the faces it would make on the innermost part of the turns very small. Alternatively you can scale up the path x10 [and then the pipe's diameter too]... that way the face bits never get too small and so there's no bugsplats=... Scale everything down x0.1 on completion...
