You could have a look at my new Google site http://sites.google.com/site/namesets in which I trace the steps I am taking to use sketchup with something called namesets. You will definitely need a webdialog for your customer to select your products. It can be as simple as you like with just two basic functions: opening skp files and some device that moves each through the optional locations. The webdialog can be made with HTML and Javascript. Try it! Ask if you need help. Chris

Could this be used to enforce/update a corporate SketchUp standard installation, I wonder?

You have to put bezier ones into your .../Plugins/BZ_Dir folder, and surface tools ones in .../Plugins/TOS_Dir folder overriding

setting to nil or killing its thread will not stop it. only solution i managed is a new "UI.play_sound" command on new existing and valid wav file, a short one.

Dear Rick - Greetings - just a quick note - the comment above brings out an interesting point. Since I often render with Maxwell after the model is built, I have also used the trick of push/pulling with the + on to make the "inside" of a window. Its a bit of extra work but, given the tremendous fantastic power of your script I am always quite happy to do it. BUT Why not edit the Windowizer to make double-sided windows? Perhaps, if there is no "second" or "inside" wall, it could just offset the original face by the required depth (ie., set Wall Thickness) and then ZAM! Its all ready. What do you think? Looking forward to hearing from you. Best wishes from Berlin, Jason

There's always Piranesi, which trumps in most ways the various Styles possible in SketchUp and will work on faces. However, it's rather pricey and I frankly don't like its interface very much.

Hi Jim, Thanks loads for your tip!! I'll go try it out straight away I'll be back...

I have that problem with some 3rd party toolbars as well. I don't know why that is, though.

@morisdov said: Update us on your progress in a new forum thread hopefully soon. I posted a something in the ideas box of the corner bar. But to finish off the select all delete business so far I find the following works: @dlg.add_action_callback("clearer") {|d, p| ents=Sketchup.active_model.active_entities status = ents.clear! } After a while the other two brought up some frightening looking splat windows. Thanks Chris

That's really a render problem. Once the components are in place, the CompSpray tool's job is over. You may be more lucky with this question in the Podium Subforum under The Extensions Forum - those who can help are unlikely to chime in here.

I documented my attemps in German here: http://forum.ruby-portal.de/viewtopic.php?t=2669 At first, follow the links given in the thread (haven't tried them for working). azuby

@unknownuser said: Hi, Again... But the start/commit_operation do not undo the variable that changes? It only undo "actions" on the screen, on the model. Then is there a way to act on the variable and undo the new value? Emmanuel, That is sort of an odd request. Can you elaborate on what you want to do, or post some code?

theX = Integer(a[3]).mm works. I'm at GMT+8, so please accept delayed thank yous. Chris

Yes, I remember now figuring this out when I wrote the 3D Text Tool.

Very interesting, looking forward to getting my grubby hands on this one. OT: The Google page translator seems to translate from chinese to Yoda English.

Too bad, as I thought we had a method to provide a utility libraries based on operating system, but portable between PC and Mac. I guess this is possible, but we just need to package to offer the same interface, even with different code and binaries underneath Thanks anyway for this contribution. I'll try to have a closer look whenever I have some time left.

Thanks TIG! I just found an easiest way on the forum. ... pages.selected_page = pages["Scene 2"] It was on an older post answered by Jim. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=8704&p=52285

Integer(a[3] ...) works just fine. Many thanks!
