Site is back up for the link I posted a few days ago.

This is a Vista security problem - you need to have Admin rights and you can then delete, add and change files from within the Program Files folder structure. Otherwise you get 'compatibility file issues where things seem to change but when you look later they are back - or the old version !

gata, I hear you A couple of things you mentioned were already on my list, but it's good to hear from script users to verify/validate/change my ideas on what a script needs.

Great Macs! I'll test it as soon I'll go back to my codes. Thanks A lot.

Super - thanks Didier

thanx HFM and Gaieus ( for birthday ) and guidance ...

@unknownuser said: Have you got any idea about when it will be possible to see and buy SU7? The people that do may not tell. I'm betting sometime soon after the 3DBC.

@unknownuser said: Let's not pick on Ray, okay? It's just too easy - how many of us had cash to spend when we were his age? Well? Huh? This is totally off topic: When I was 14 I was mowing the lawn (plus some odd yard work), cleaning out the garage & store room and washing the cars, all on a weekly basis, for spending money that you could go to see a movie, buy some popcorn and a drink with before it was finished. Work isn't difficult to find if you want it.

dtrarch, Whaat are spot on. Thanks,

Dear John, You wrote, "I don't think SU's Section Plane tool can do the following without grouping and duplicating groups." In my enthusiasm to give/find a solution, I failed to read the question. Hopefully, the described technique will be useful to someone, and informative to those who are new to SU. Kind regards, Bob

Sigh. The installer shouldn't do that. Here is the file in case anyone has the same problem. Win32API.zip

There's a strange ...something... in SU that adds all kinds of non-geometric stuff to the selection set. Todd and I requested it be "fixed" (at least changed), to only add geometric objects to the selection set. After all, who wants to filter out loops, materials, etc., when all we really need to deal with are edges, curves, and faces? So far, no internal fixes, so we're left to filter objects.

Dave remove(rename) number "22", leave "skin.rb"...thats all

Third for the abort command key-stroke. The sandbox tools are an excellent example of processes seizing a pc and the only way to regain control of the machine is a crash. A abort command key sequence/stroke is necessary. Best Regards

Thanks for your response, but it still doesn't work. The file structure is as you described, though there are many more files in the OFS_Dir/ (png/pdf etc) Joint push pull appears to be working for me now though... All these Ruby scripts seem very well messy! I mean the arrangment. I don't know what half the ones I have are any more! Any tips on organization with Ruby? Also how to get the above script to work

@al hart said: I was just interested in: Is it possible to access the sketchup database separately from multiple tasks in Ruby Ruby doesn't 'do' concurrent tasks. So the answer is No! Adam

I've exported/imported limited info via PageExIm. It can work, but takes some effort - especially when new SU file versions change the data available! I have StylesExIm on my list of things to do. Should I move it up the list?

delete all time text instances when Time is off, save, restart

In no particular order, and from a cast of thousands, I would definitely include: Mirror (Remember how man times this was asked for / requested on the old forum ?). PipeAlongPath Centerpoint BezierSpline JointPushPull Also show PDF files / user manuals for these two - Excellent and very comprehensive. SoapSkinBubble Purge VolumeCalculator (latest version from TIG, version 2-1 ?) ... For a good variety in your presentation, I wouldn't just concentrate solely on the gee whizz / flash bang scripts. Some of the most useful scripts are actually the ones that perform the everyday tasks (and should really have been incorporated into the core program originally) eg Mirror ... Hope this helps Regards Howard L'

If you can read the address bar, it looks like he (James G. Therrien?) is demonstrating that on an internal Google corporate address. James Therrien is also the name of this Lead Training Simian and Google employee.
