Currently the tools plugin details most wood working joints on components drawn and placed in the assembled position. Dovetails, Box Joints, Dowel, Mortise & Tenon, Loose Tenon, Domino, Biscuit, and Clearance holes for screws. The Open_Close lets you add a vector outside a door or drawer and then will rotate the door or move the drawer to open and close. The Component2LayerScene provides Layer control for parts and scenes of a part or parts for Shop Drawings. With rev4 when you add dim to the drawing scene the drawing layer is automatically assigned to the dim. Furniture parts which I have only started will make complete assembles. So far I have Stile and Rail flat panels working with several different joints. This is not ready for publication yet. Plans are for Cope and Stick joints, Raised panel, drawer boxes, Post and Rail.

Thank you Eric.

Excellent work, David.

That fastener is about ten years old. Natuzzi furniture used have them at one point.

I tried multiple times to get them to get rid of the Google name. They did in some places. Part of the idea of updating the basics is to get rid of it once and for all. I'll be around. d

I understand. Thanks for the link, I'll pass it along.

Very nice Dave.......this type of chair reminds me of a shoe store we shopped when I was a child......I can picture the aluminum sizing tool under it...... (Brannock devise)

Haha, sounds like a perfect solution

Nice

@janpiotrowski86 said: Is there any work around this bug or is it game over whilst using Sketchup 2017? The only work around that I know of would be to make the texture in an image editor or use an actual image of plywood and import one of those as a texture. Unfortunately bug fixes in an older version are incredibly unlikely after a newer version is released. At this point, about 6 months beyond the release of SU2018, it's safe to say there won't be any updates to SU2017.

I suggest contacting SketchUp support and getting them to help sort things out. You should be able to download SketchUp Make 2017, but the old Pro license may be the problem. Good luck. dh

Thanxx, Hornoxx, The piece is 30 in. wide, 32-1/2 in. high, and 18 in. deep. And, yes, sugar chests were once common, when people bought the stuff in bulk. Best, dh

Outch, sorry for the one year later answer ... (The forum doesn't notify me when new answers are published ?) @rich o brien said: Would you like it added to our repository? Why not @tig said: You will get a lot of coding AND woodworking help here... Nice, I have a code question . Do you know if it is possible to use the ComponentInstance.volume method with correct volume computation by using entity tree of transformations ?

Thanks, HornOxx.

Perfect !!!

now I'm more curious as before

A while back I came across plans for furniture that was designed for various state parks in Texas. Each park got it's own style of buildings and furniture to go in them. There were plans for beds to go into cabins that were designed to keep the snakes out.

Good luck with the plans, Jeff. A couple of bits of advice for you: Make sure that you don't create modified scenes when adjusting viewports. That is, you never want to see a scene listed in the SketchUp Model window in LO showing modified. Remember that you can crop the view in the viewport to limit what is shown. For example, the halves of the head and footboard for the bed in the first image are cropped in LO. The scenes in SU show the entire assembly. You can use the same scene for multiple viewports. This will allow you to reduce the number of scenes you create. For example if you want to show a closeup detail of the mortises on the top of a table leg, you can use the same scene that shows the entire leg. Just change the scale for the detail view. No need to make a scene for each of them.

Thanks Dave. I've been playing with the clock on the table. Decided I like the black clock better than the ivory colored one so I changed the top on the table. I've also been playing with a KT version but I'm not totally happy with it yet. [image: M4lg_CocktailTablewclock2.png]
