Adding these features would likely require a complete re-write of the Protrude plugin, and that is not something I am planning on anytime soon.

Jaha Tjena! He he. Jag översätter på engelska efteråt också, för folk kanske bli ilskna här annars. Som jag skrev så måste du ha libFredo installerat för att kunna köra denna plugin. Fredo använder ett bibliotek som hans plugins refererar till. Och har man inte den i plugins mappen så funkar inte någon(tror jag i alla fall) av hans plugins. Du hittar den här! http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17947 Dessutom så nämner Fredo att man måste ha fulla rättigheter till mapparna man installerar i. Det kanske är där du har strul. Det är bara att höra av dig igen om det fortsätter strula Short Translation: Just pointed out that libfredo is required for running Fredos plugins. (link above) Also IMPORTANT:Please make sure that you have full Read / Write permissions in the folder where you install RoundCorner

Thank you dukejazz for the reply. With the new version still no luck. The plug-in is loaded, the toolbar is shown, and the menu is added, but after that an error box pop up (see attachment). [image: HcS9_2013-02-2021.00.26.jpg] [image: wAno_2013-02-2020.57.30.jpg]

@jim57 said: What's the distinction between Extrude and Loft? In my examples, Loft seems to twist things up. i can't really remember anymore.. i have extrude by Rails,Lathe,Vector, and Vector to Object installed from TIG's extrude suite.. I tend to use CurviLoft for most surface creation if i'm staying strictly in sketchup..

have you reached out to the manufacturer to get the file specifications - gcode version # etc? they should know what version of the file, formats etc is needed for their machines...

YES! Thank you so much! That did it

Looks tatsty! Stromb-oli! Thanks Pilou.

i had the same problem yesterday. Tried a lot to fix it but nothing helped. In the end i de-installed and re-installed sketchup and that did the trick

Aerilius beat me to it, but here's my similar answer, anyway not easily without completely overwriting all of it's definitions and methods which would be risky unless you wrote it in the first place. the alternative is use RC to find and rename the plugin so it doesn't work for the next startup, and then do a restart. there may even be a plugin for that... john

Not sure if it's described in the plugin description - but there is a function there.

@gilles add self. at line 143, that seems to work here... [ in a quick test at least!!! ] def self.as_require_all(dirname) john

See this post for one of the option asked!

TIG has also some snipsets for this sort of things (all codes must be on one line in the ruby console!!!

can that be drawn in sketchup? yes ..using the same method as shown in the video? no

The logs list no edits for this thread. Just locks/unlocks, merge and bump.

We don't currently put any time into testing every plugin released though. It would in theory add quite a bit of extra time to our moderator duties.

FYI, there is a newer STL import/export project, open sourced by the SketchUp team over at: https://github.com/SketchUp/sketchup-stl

Thanks TIG! Easy when you know how, I'm going to have to learn Ruby! Regards, Willie

Tip_dj no. 13 The outliner isolation: Make all connected to a group, then enter the group edit mode and make sub isolated groups. Open outliner and dragged your isolated selected groups to above top untitled area to Isolate Selection and when done editing drag back or explode if need. "EarthMover" - dukejazz "Isolate Selection" - Yes (Tip_dj) "Looking for a plugin that" - No, not a plugins sorry "will isolate whatever is selected in an isolation" - Yes "mode and conversely exit out" - Yes "isolation and bring back all of the non isolated items."- Yes "If possible, when exiting isolation mode, the tool will not affect any previously hidden geometry (geometry hidden prior to enter isolation mode)"- Yes "I think currently there are a few option to hide unselected" - Yes hide by context hide ", but to revert requires" - Yes select hidden by context _ unhide one to unhide all"- Yes select all and hide by context hide || unhide Results: "probably be quicker than via a script-TIG" My point, the outliner is very good tool to have open and to use.-dj

My 2 cents about exporting: Export as texturized single3ds object. Then in Max run 'detach by material' (found at scriptspot). Believe me it's a completely different world- blazing speed! BTW there's also 'attach by material' script (caution: memory hungry). Hope it helps.
