If you go view->toolbars it should be in their.

We've had a hard time with scene parsing too. It seems that SU just doesn't know what it has in the scene very well. We've contacted Google and are still waiting for some sort of a response. I'm not all that familiar with the exact details behind our scene parsing process. Some of it is done in C++, the rest in Ruby. If you download the demo of V-Ray for SketchUp, there should be a file that it installs named "VRayForSketchUp.rb" that at least appears to have a good bit of scene parsing stuff in there. I hope it helps. Below is our cry for help to Google ::weeps:: no love. http://groups.google.com/group/Ruby-API/browse_thread/thread/1c69cc4490e0f6d/e63df2c6561af900#e63df2c6561af900

Im not to sure on the specifics with macs, but if the plugin comes with mac specific instructions follow those.

I no little of Ruby but you are probably right. Dropping the zeroes as needed may not be possible. Perhaps that should be a wish list item for the next version of SU. Cheers, Dave

Hi, This script is still under development? maybe another with this same 2D approach? Thanks

just do not forget you have to look for it in the Library folder that sits in your HD not the one in the users folder.[image: plugins_folder.png]

I really hope that someone can make this happen!

Some time ago I posted this. Found this programmable key game controller, one handed, at Bestbuy for $39.00. It has 144 programmable keys. More than I need. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/cyborgcommand.htm I have been looking for a programmable keyboard that was reasonable priced. So now, I am content. Ken

Chers, its pretty long, but its looking good, cheers.

Just for reference, the following works for scaling along the Group's axis: m = Sketchup.active_model e = m.active_entities s = m.selection tr = s[0].transformation trs = Geom;;Transformation.scaling( 2, 1, 1 ) s[0].transformation = (tr * trs) but this scales along the global axis: s[0].transformation = (trs * tr) as does this: s[0].transform! trs

Ok, good. I wasn't sure if asin was simply overlooked, or if you needed something different.

+1...

I wouldn't mind if it would all fit in 1 animation plugin. Improved camera motion and object animation included. But that would be dreaming

Click on the link in my previous post. Save the file with the extension rb in the Plugins folder.

Let me clear up a remark I made at the top of this thread, and even my followup posts. When I said "that is not the topic", I thought I was posting to Lewis's thread about a Ruby vulnerability that applies to people who use Ruby on a server for websites. However, this thread, your topic, certainly applies, and yes, you can do just about anything you want with Ruby.

Please tell us when you found these. It looks like fun!?!

The Ruby on Rails community might be in panic, or not, but it doesn't mean much for us at all.

Hey Fletch, Thanks for the reply. I have the same camera position, I'm working on 24 alternative designs for an entry. So, it would have been nice to automate the export process. Glenn

@malaise said: Hello, everybody I just send an idea. As far as Sketchy-physic is involved in animation. Could it be possible to write some plug-in in order to simulate sensor or end-switches? This would allow to build sequential movements. I mean the block B for instance may move after the block A reached a kown position.... (in french we name that AUTOMATISMES ..) We may program the positions or links on the same way ,we do for joint and block. (my Ruby Level is unfortunally very basic ) Pierre MALAISE frendly yours I am thinking about ways to make this sort of thing work.

I just imported the .dwg file. The "dasd lines" are coming in as components. Try this - select everything, right click, and Explode. Then, try close opens as you did before. Todd
