@tdoolittle said: How do I remove this extension from Sketchup2016? Since it's a simple Plugin [rather than an Extension which would also have its own subfolder], you can simply find its RB file ' dimension_utilities.rb' and delete it. Look in your Plugins folder... This one-liner copy+pasted into the Ruby Console +<enter> will open your Plugins folder for you [it is in a folder-path that is hidden by default]: UI.openURL("file:///#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins')}") Alternatively if you have the SketchUcation Toolset installed you can use its Plugins-Manager dialog to Disable any listed plugin-file that is being Loaded/Enabled - when SketchUp restarts it won't load, but you could always reinstate it if you so desired, OR in the same toolset - use its submenu item to 'Uninstall' that plugin in which case, thereafter it won't load or even appear in any of its Manager dialogs, but it could still be Reinstalled later, if desired - by using the same dialog...

Did you read the author's first post in this thread? He says this plugin is obsolete.

There are two "Library" Folders on the Mac. For some reason they decided to hide the User's Library Folder, which is where the plugins should go (under Application Support). To get there use the "Go" menu "Go to Folder.." command. Type"~/Library" But to load, follow TIG's directions, it's easy.

Why not working? SU8 Maybe there is another plugin? Artisan is paid http://www.screencast.com/t/20sxZ3Uuk Robert

oh yeah um use lss_toolbar2.0 it has a function called stick group which I think is what you want . but if you have su 2016 or maybe 2015 that function wont work but I have found a work around for it ive posted on another topic http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80%26amp;t=63567#p582194 youll need to have notepad++ on order to find those line numbers to fix the code on but all you have to do is change like 4 words and save it and then it should work like a champ

@peebo22 said: Hello, Is there a plugin which enables selection by drawed line? I mean that can I draw the selection which chooses groups, components, edges or faces. Just like lasso tool in Photoshop? This would help me a lot, thank you! this function is included in this plugin http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=483628#p483628 also this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HduoQH7Byuc%26amp;feature=youtu.be but neither one gives a perfect selection

unless you use the old SmartMustard plugin organizer [which I doubt]... get rid of the $organiser bit.... menu = UI.menu('Draw') menu.add_item('Draw points') { pointtool } I can see other errors in a very old copy I checked, that may have been fixed by TIG... if the next line starts with p =, then it's not fixed... BTW... the free TextWrangler.app is much better for editing all kinds of files... EDIT: the rest of the file is needing work there are a number of places it use a 'reserved' word... this was why i asked about the p, before re-reading your code block... plgs = Sketchup.find_support_file('Plugins') cmd = UI;;Command.new('Draw points') { pointtool } cmd.large_icon = cmd.small_icon = File.join(plgs, 'PointTool', 'PointTool.png') def create_geometry(pt, view) view.model.active_entities.add_cpoint pt view.invalidate end def no_points_here?(pt) Sketchup.active_model.entities.select { |e| e.class == Sketchup;;ConstructionPoint }.each do |e| return false if e.position.to_a == pt.to_a end john

Thanks!

@ pilou ok this could be possible. ill try this @rich yes i understand thanks for yours fast answers. Dean @pilou **bingo**Color Edge is a solution. works in 2016,too thanks

@greenskp said: Just for convention. Something like... "everything does not come in default installation from SketchUp goes to the Extensions menu". For people who love to install multiple plugins, do not get lost when are looking for a native tool. Something that already happens with the Tools menu. Yeah, I feel you here... but once you start using SU in a "professional" manner - meaning that it became your "second nature", you stop dividing things between native/installed. You KNOW what you want to achieve and you go for the right tool... is's a lot about memory, this is true.. the more plugins you have, the memory will be more active in remembering those and their functionality. But exactly here is the catch: once you know what you need to achieve, you don't consider the tool, you consider the mean of doing it. So, I need to DRAW something, is more intuitive to go to DRAWING menu, to look for my tool, instead of digging in Extensions. Is like working in a workshop... i need screws, is better to go to look in the Screws Drawer, rather than in "shopping drawer" ... because I may shop for many things. From screws to napkins... but this doesn't make it better to keep all my shopping in the same place. I can understand that for the new user it may become confusing, because there is not a clear structure in user's mind about what native SU tools can do and whether a plugin is needed. But once you go past this, you don't even consider the software... the software is just the environment. You focus on the final goal and you just need a tool. So, is best to have tools better organized and quicker to find, instead of navigating in submenus.

i guess some sort of geometry -> point cloud proxy is needed. should see how skp handles 100,000 construction points, never tried that

Works like a charm inside SU 2016 [image: oNrZ_protrude02.jpg]

@derei said: Thank you all for the solutions ! Check out my "Spin It" plugin on my blog. It has options to spin the camera and record the scenes.

Maybe try this plugin and bind it to the save keypress? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=33441

Sketchup 2016 required some modifying to get this to work (Windows 7). This loader would not run for me. To fix, I had to first install this extension from the warehouse. Next, I had to install the rotated box and cylinder tools from the warehouse. Third, I had to rename/delete the .rb files in the 3Pts_Tools folder and replace them w/ the installed copies from my plugins folder. Those copies do NOT have the same name(3Pts_Tools puts a 'M' on the end of the file names) so you have to make sure you name the .rb's w/ that M on the end or edit the loader .rb to reflect the lack of an 'M' in the file name. Restart sketchup and the toolbar should appear. This set of steps will suffice until a new package w/ the up-to-date .rb's is posted. I did NOT attempt to do rotated rectangle as sketchup comes with that tool built in as of Sketchup 2015.

I find twitter is the best way to reach companies. Public support requests usually get actioned.

Silly, silly.... Chris Fullmer's 'Color by Z' is the simplest way to do this..... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=16660 Although so does Gradientator which offers an additiona color change. Anyway got what I needed. Once again. thanks guys.!

@nankyo said: It is really nice one.. but I have suggestion...and because I have no idea of scripting I will just say it.. hope someone will deal with that ... So I would like to take all that analysis and put it all in the same view.. means that or is it possible for example to draw and create faces in the shape of the shadow or... to generate some kind of "burn" on a surface (ground) so it will be possiable to see all the transition in one shot. I'll second that; what I need is a way to show all the area that is shaded between 0900-1600 all year. Something like Skelion's "sunny area" but able to run at least enough iterations throughout the year to give a pretty accurate "no go" area for solar installation. I don't care about 95% solar access, or 50%, just 100% throughout those 7 hours each day or not.

could be 'Round Corner' by Fredo is your friend... when this is your solution here a little step by step mark the face of the type. use offset inside or outside. push/pull the additional face select the face offset again select the inner half face 7 use round corner (sharp corner Blue icon) 8 set one face 9 move your mouse pointer outside your selection a green check mark apear. than click. the plugin generate now your faces 10.group the face this will appear after working. offset the face now you have the same like in the attached SKP [image: rXUo_2015-11-14_19h12_09.png] [image: YS4f_2015-11-14_19h12_28.png] obnet_v14_new.skp

It is perfect plugin... thk so much.
