Thanks for you guys!

...I should add that it would be fun to try to make those modifications myself (assuming the approach is valid). A fair while back I had started teaching myself Ruby and made a couple of super simple plugins for my own use. Then I got busy with paid work and dropped the effort. I've probably forgotten much of what I had learned, but I have been meaning to get back to it — and this might be a fun re-entry (especially since most of the work is already done).

nothing of that sort exists. in windows, you may be able to hide the title bar of the palettes. Anton S window setting was able at this - really great plugin - you may want to try https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ams_WindowSettings i used to do it years ago in win 7, you may need to do a google search. you can also look for autohotkey scripts that will do that. autohotkey can work with specific windows classes so you can affects only the desired palettes and not the main window. lastly, all of this stuff i used to do it before the 'tray'. no idea how that all works now.

FAK works for me on SU 2018 PRO PluginStore version .rbs dtr

Sorry,I don't support for the earlier versions.

I've tried the same thing and had trouble with Remove_CG_mat. It's not the same as material replacer. Still looking.

Here is the interface of the "coming soon" extension: [image: oCCz_settings.jpg] Note that in this version, the ground color variation is also supported EDIT: just available now at the EW here: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6611

Box Thanks again for your suggestion (also all of your modeling tips!) and looking at the plugin to find the author, as I had forgotten where I had found the plugin. I emailed Joe Zeh and he sent me the files required and this very useful plug in is now working. If anyone is looking for this contact Joe - jpz@srww.com Great community we have here Jeff

ok j'ai envoyé par PM merci

TIG, this has been a great tool to use! I'm wondering if there's a way to make the ray auto adjust in real time if you move the object its reflecting off of?

Wow, thanks. I need to hang out here more. It looks like I'm still hitting snags. The X/30° param would have to apply to the obtuse conditions, not acute conditions. It doesn't appear to be culling the right edges in some circumstances, and it's terminating early. Regardless, thanks for giving me something to tinker with at some point.

Hopefully this works jf_custom_toolbars.zip

@cadfather said: unfortunately not, sketchup just adds a duplicate submenu. Yes, i noticed that as well. Anyway... it just would have been a bit more clean and organized. But that's really a minor thing. Thanks again for your help!

Hi all, Nice addition ! This give me some idea for enhancing my next plugin: I'm actually working on (yet another) window maker, full of options, among them you'll have the possibility to add a "screen", opened at a parametric percentage of the height of the casement. Below is a sliding window, 2 parametric sashes with parametric muntins, no shutter, no "push bar", all materials parametric: [image: 5mAD_slidingwithscreen.jpg] Interface: [image: zYxN_slidingparams.jpg] You will also have the possibilty to create window components based on a face, no matter its shape

Thanks sdmitch, used your code snippet to convert components to groups for MSPhysics. The reason is that MSP does not accept components for coupling with joints. The conversion of about 200 components with subcomponents into groups would have taken a long time...

"but at least SU could be used as the CAD modeller for GMSH?" (from a previous post) The "Meshkit" plugin from Peter V seems to do that. Did someone try it ? Because each time I launch SU (SU2015 Make or SU8) I have errors like "Error Loading File C:/Users/PC/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/pv_sketchytetgentools/pv_sketchytetgentools_class_loader.rbe" etc. I haven't found any information about this plugin on the forum. So I post here and hope someone might help with my installation problem. Cheers.

First of all thanks for this great tool! but unfortunately I haven't got it to work with sketchup 2017 pro. Hey guys has any one tried installing this recently? are there any tricks to it? it just says failed to install virtual wind plugin.

Error 101 means the internet connection time out on your computer. Stairmaker needs to connect to my web service once every week.

This one looks nice ^^

Didier, TIG In ~80% of cases, I'd prefer the old way (originaledges stay selected). The updated version of the tool is also useful in some cases. It'd just perfect to grant 2 options in one tool via say single Alt hit (for new-born edges get selected). Or, even better TAB key for selection cycling: original\extruded\connecting edges
