So did you try contacting the author directly at the e-mail address listed in the PDF help file?

HOOLLLD EV'RYTHING!!! After nuch banging-of-head-on-desk... and experiments... I tried Frederik's suggestion. No dice. But did the same and made into a COMPONENT... all solved! ...for now. Though I'm still fuzzy as to why this should actually work. But. Don't question miracles (well, not DIGITAL ones, anyway). Busy now doing jolly fantastic things with it. I is now in heaven! I think by FAR the Artisan will turn out to be the best thing to happen to sketchup to date. Cheers all, Woz

oh, ta!

@pichuneke said: Perhaps you could make clouds with this plugin... at least the typical ones from anime, or a comic. I can also see my plugin making lightning.

Thanks TIG but I'm struggling with Ruby. I've done basic, machine code (long time ago), Lisp & GDL (ArchiCAD). I did look at your volume script but I'm not sure how to add your snippet of code above.

@cgsipaul said: I downloaded LibFredo6 3.6b and Curviloft 1.1a. Using SketchUP 8 on a Mac OS 10. Loaded the plug-ins into the Library-Applications-SketchUp-Plug-Ins folder. Restarted computer and application, but I do not see any reference to the plug-in. What am I doing wrong? Extract it to a different folder then move it to the Sketch Up plugins folder. This worked for me.

Thanks TIG.

I don't know if this will work for you, but its similar... Product Connect plugin, by igloo tudios May be it can help?

Gaieus - Yes it imports as a group of connected edges and could be draped on existing terrain but I was hoping to use the data to create terrain. Aerilius - Yes I tried most if not all of the Altitude options but none changed the Z output.

hi I use a modified version of create360veiw.rb http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=45473#p45473 I've modified it create 36 scenes plus 36 layers so you can then link up other stuff on layers. try it out, if it's basically useful and If you can't do the mods yourself, PM me and I'll send a copy of mine set for 64. I then export as animation to give me jpegs etc... but that might be a Mac thing. john

Thank you, Didier. Merci beaucoup. Regards, John

you have also this Shape Bender by Chris Fullmer Second part of the video can interest you [flash=480,390:13h1j78f]http://www.youtube.com/v/tGHTIOMm_34?fs=1[/flash:13h1j78f]

I made a fork and did an edit on the read-me a test as much as anything... john

Thanks thomthom, I'll give that a shot. -Brodie

If you set the component axis to the center of the square and run Chris' scale and rotate multiple script, it works fine for me. Scale and Rotate randomly about the Comp. Base. Or leave the axis on a corner and scale and rotate about Center works for me too.

@unknownuser said: TIG I my studies of Ruby for Sketchup, I have no problem with finding the context menu, it just seems to me there is always an "if then" statement, proceeding the menu add statement, and I don't see on this the other menus. There are some plugins that appear in more than one menu, and I usually turn off the context menu, and move the plugin to an other memu selection where I wish to have the plugin appear. However, I have not been able to master the coding to get rid of just a context menu with the "if selection is.....". Anyway, I will keep trying. Thank Ken You could write a intermediate method to do the check. If ok, it runs the plugin. If not valid, then it pop up an error message: def xLine_check_valid if xLine_validate_selection xLine else UI.messagebox "Invalid selection" end end if( not file_loaded?("xLine.rb") ) UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Convert lines to guide lines"){xLine_check_valid} end file_loaded("xLine.rb")

and the great autocad mirror comes to sketchup!!! whoa..yippee!!

am i doing something wrong, or is it not possible to open the "selection manager" dialog box on a mac osx machine?

What Thon is saying is that if you have difficulty with any plugin you post in the topic. Rather than creating a new topic. You've a better chance to get direct help from the developer.
