Please take a look here!

In regards to the preview in PB, what about using Flash to draw it? That's supported on all platforms. And if you make the whole dialog in flash, then you don't have to worry about how different browers render it.

Alright... as I said it's dirty code made at 1:00 AM with the one and only (failed) intent to make it work... so I could show the model with my iPod Touch... http://ales.foxleader.net/-REPO-/3D1/AlesFoxJet5XLS_index.html Note that "Gauche" is the french for "Left" while "Droite" means "Right" Also, all the code is in that page between the head tags, and my modified code is at the end of the head. I added this in the body: <a href="javascript&#058;cs(10)">Gauche</a> <a href="javascript&#058;cs(20)">Droite </a> and this before the end of the <script> tags in the head, modified from the handleRotate(e) function: function cs(e) { // STEP is how many pixels equals an image swap var STEP = 10; var width = sketchUpObj.offsetWidth; var delta = e addToPos = Math.floor(delta/STEP); //handle wrap around var wrap = (currentPos + addToPos) % imageCount; var newPos = (wrap < 0) ? imageCount + wrap ; Math.abs(wrap); //hide everyone except the image we are over for (var i = 0; i < imageCount; i++) { hide(sketchUpImageArray[i]); } show(sketchUpImageArray[newPos]); // return false; } I repeat, that's dirty code. Really dirty. Lol. I also know that it's JS, so not really Ruby but I guessed it was still the best section to post this. Thanks for your help!

So if you wanted that shelve automatically made, you would need to specfiy what dimensions stay frozen and which ones shift. Like the length of the flat boards would grow with the scaling. But their thickness should stay the same if scled to be taller. You need to set all that for every board. Then set their x, y, and ,z relationships. It is pretty complex to create an "auto" function. The DC's are pretty stratightforward once you get the hang of taking into account all the variables that need to be thought of - AND after you get passed the initial frustration of lack of documentation (or scattered docs).

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.
