Hi NewOne It looks like I misunderstood what you were after. I thought you wanted to change the Sketchup Axes before placing a component ie the orientation of a placed component is determined by the current axes orientation. There is no method for changing the axes as far as I am aware. This statement invokes the Axes tool which allows the user to set the axes orientation prior to next call Sketchup.send_action("selectAxisTool:") The place_component method places a component "modcomp" in the Model using the component placement tool. status = Sketchup.active_model.place_component modcomp, false Apologies for the confusion.

works beautifully!

Take your times

Hi I have found something similar when my tool picks faces and then tries to add them to the Sketchup.active_model.selection and display it: Two faces has been picked from two different component instances.. selection.add face1 selection.add face2 view.invalidate [image: BFF6_DisplaySelectionBug.jpg]

@didier bur said: Hi, So why not upload it here if it's free ? Are you really sure it's freeware stuff ? I remember and find it here: http://www.ia-plus.de/tutorial/tutorial.htm BUDLA [image: Dv05_toolbars.jpg]

With what method of exporting and importing are you using? I have found that the simple file extension is not the only factor, but through which programs and which files your data has gone through makes a difference.

WOW an "official" recognition that there is or will be a SU 7

I agree this plugin is just outstanding. For those that don't know, it allows you to set the positions of Groups and Components for scenes, and can animate them when you move between scenes.

No, not illegal, but also not CAD. It is just a sample of existing plugins made with a toolbar, two years ago.These scripts are not up to date. But CAD? @ Didier, I made this toolbars for German users and used one of your scripts for the basic. I let your name for the credits ( as the author of the basic script ). There are some reasons for to stop the developement, so it is no longer available with updated scripts.

This plugin can help you...

Hi susan, yeah, ok, fair cop. But it does seem to happen a lot and it defrosts my kelvinator when i see people abusing the fab community we have here. Have you noticed the odd comment from new users about how different this forum is from most others? From my limited experience with other forums it's certainly true. Now while Id would'nt like gscf to go the way of pushpull bar, some sort of formal credibility rating might not go amiss. On the other hand Im getting just like the other old farts that I despise so heartily. So forget all that. Let it carry it as it does and let entropy take care of those who do not appreciate it. baz

thank you very much.

You can issue OpenGL commands from Ruby. But I don't think they will do what you expect - such as changing the rotation of the current view. SketchUp's own view/camera interface is probably the bet way to do this.

Thanks.

Hi Todd, of course the link works correctly. The image is quite small sorry. There is a another example : http://img72.imageshack.us/my.php?image=balloontips2an0.jpg
