Interesting. It gives a bunch of error messages from scripts that initializes. But it didn't seem to pipe any errors when I typed in 5 / 0 in the console. When I used one of my plugins that uses the puts method, it didn't update the file automatically, but only when I closed down SU. Not 100% sure how this works. But it sure is useful to catch startup errors. LibFredo got some for instance.

Ahh, I see. I think its ok in this instance to stop up ruby entirely. I was having very little luck getting it to work any other way. I just kept sending SU into a deeep coma. Maybe I'll try to post my broken code using the timer and try to get that working instead then. Thanks Tavi, Chris

@chrisglasier said: I wonder why the entity info result is in square millimetres not square metres to two places of decimals as is common in sensible metricificated places. Chris [image: SquareFoot Calcs4.jpg] See toggle units. Thanks Matt! Chris

DONE

The messageboxname argument works with MB_MULTILINE messagebox type, but not with the presumably more frequent MB_OK type, which is the default. Bug. Annoying.

Thanks you very much Jim , their place was simple to access ,but I can't see them

Dear all, you for sure would not believe, what I tried in the meantime, to get clean SVG out of SU7 FREE. Call me beeing stupid. All attempts, getting clean SVG out of FREE, including using an EMF (Enhanced Meta File) printer drivers, failed in some or the other way. My last resort was to ask Google for a PDF export even in the FREE version. Just sent, if they answer, I'll report. Best regards, deerwood

@unknownuser said: Is there a way that the guide points created can retain the coordinate data in the entity info? Nope. An attribute could be added but will be invisible in the info box, so useless.

ditto. it's really cool.

"Suspend Groups" would be another good tool that could be mimic from Archicad

Hi John, That seems reasonable to me. It does look like the Lat/Lon are taken from the Shadow_Info, but I have no idea what the other attributes in GeoReference mean. I think you'll just have to experiment until you figure it out.

Great. In parallel, for precise usage (that was my original intention), I think it is better to orbit around a selected point then the center of the bounding box (of a component), but it is not difficult to add. Regards Marcio

@Pixero Thanks - just what I needed. And thanks to others for their contribution Thanks

It makes sense if your Tool works like the PushPull Tool and it automatically selects faces when the mouse is moved over the face. validation procs work on Toolbar buttons also. Well, technically they work on Commands, which can be used in both menus and toolbars.

Yet another bridge to a C++ library... (sigh)

It sounds like Gypsy wants a purge script that removes the used materials as well as the unsued. This is no longer a purge really. Purgeing generally refers to removing UNUSED materials. So if you are running TIG's purge_all script wanting it to remove materials that are being used by the model, it won't do that. Thats just not what its supposed to do. Instead, keep following the thread posted in that second post above and there is a link to smustard's remove materials plugin. That will go through and remove all materials from your model and then purge them from the materials list. Chris EDIT: actually it looks like that script just removes them from the model. You will then need to purge them yourself.

Ahh, very helpful, thanks again Todd, Chris

Thanks allot, once more.

What about just a subdivide operation with no smoothing?

It was a great pleasure if you can do that.
