I know this thread is kinda old, but I Just came across this and it really made my day. Exactly what I was looking for! Saved me from some long a** hours of line drawing! Thanks a lot

Your SCF user-profile SketchUp version is not matched by your error-message's version ... You probably have an old version of that 'helper' rb installed in v2014.... In v2014 'togglewindows' is really not needed. Although it's included as a helper in some plugins, the latest version should spot it is not compatible with v2014 and therefore abort its loading, and so not cause these errors... I suspect you have ill-advisedly just copied some Plugins files over from an earlier version of SketchUp. This is NOT recommended ! Get/install new versions wherever possible...

Hi guys, thanks a lot for the recommendations.. I will try them all. Cheers! PS @Pilou: thanks for the formula link.. reminds me of my college dreadful math computations haha

@rich o brien said: TwiLight is a great rendering engine based on KT. Fast , easy and powerful. wait, is it based on Kerkythea ? damn, I must say I am extremely impressed by the results of these little rendering engines, and how fast and simple they are. Esp. that I have studied 3ds max, and have been doing all my modeling and rendering there (which literally took me days upon days). IDK how I was so blind to all of this. SU modeling, accompanied by a little rendering engine, and a bit of post-processing is where its at. Hmm, though mastering 3ds Max would probably still be a win tho...

Ps Protrude works perfectly in 2014 Make! File of Protrude (zipped) linked! [image: wXb3_protrude.jpg] protrudezip.zip

Ahg ! sorry, bad reading. The answer is in the description of the plugin. With this plugin, you’ll find STL as a supported format within SketchUp’s Import command. STL files will be imported to SketchUp as a group.

Ah, there are some issue with the BugSplat dialog under OSX. We're investigating that.

Hello, New version added. Download, can be done directly from pluginstore now. Some corrections inside : 1.6.1 CORRECTED : Prevent error when calculation is on selected entities CORRECTED : Design issue on update splash screen CORRECTED : Little issue in stats system

Cool plugin. Cheers.

cool plugin. very useful for architects.

Go to: http://www.ctrlview.com/file_upload.php -navigate to your file location & upload your *.wrl file ON NEXT SCREEN -specify which *.wrl file (vrml or vrml 2) -choose your specifics (true color, rotation, view mode, view type) -in the "convert to format" drop down menu, select your preferred output format (I choose dxf, skp output wasn't valid output format at this time) in conversion -press the "view/convert" button -select the link "Click here to get converted file" (in blue), it will begin your converted file download

It's too bad the author of the video couldn't be bothered to the tool's correct name. Take a look at Bezier Spline. Get the Sketchucation Plugin Store plugin to automatically install it.

Now that sounds great. You got my "yey" on that

Pushpull and eraser tool from what you already have: [image: pLdR_Untitled.png] Best regards, João

Thanks glro, that's what I've done.

@jfeldman175 said: I downloaded the plugin but I need to access the RoundCorner tool in Sketchup 2014. How do I find the tool? Did you also get/install the newest Lib Fredo from the PluginStore? That is need by most of Fredo's tools to work. Once set up properly these tools have Toolbar and/or Menu/submenu entries - this is clearly explained in each tool's main pages...

@alexschreyer said: I ran into a problem a while ago where I needed area centroids of irregular planar shapes. Since I couldn't find an appropriate SketchUp plugin, I used Rhino that time. The attached plugin adds this functionality to SketchUp. Contrary to some plugins that I found, which use the centroid of the bounding box (and then add a construction point there), this one calculates the actual centroid accurately for any polygon (hence any shape in SketchUp). It also provides the area (more for reference since SketchUp spits this out anyways) and the area moments Ix, Iy, Ixy. Please give this a try and let me know if you run into any usability, calculation or proper plugin programming issues. Some limitations: Shapes must be drawn on the ground (x-y plane) and calculation accuracy is limited by polygon accuracy. Plugin webpage (available soon): http://www.alexschreyer.net/projects/centroid-and-area-properties-plugin-for-sketchup/ plastic characteristics of cross sections are sometimes needed too... is it something that could be added to the plugin? because [anchor= goto=:1n1fsrz0]http://www.skpengineering.com[/anchor:1n1fsrz0] is not avalaible anymore

@solo said: Actually all the models are separate skp's so I want to render them all from the same view, ... Actually the correct protocol would be to create a template skp with the desired view. Then use that template to create the model skps.

Try this one Put Component on Face by CPlassais! not ultimate version but...works for groups/ components! Tab = Multicopy 5 = reverse face +- = increase decrease : 1° or 1 unity at the start of the function begin, end, 7, 1 = Rotation arows, 8,4,2,6 = Translation backspace = Undo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZp4yuImVhQ [image: faces_faces1.jpg]

Never mind, for some reason I am now able to log in. I did reset my password to the same one but I am up and running now, thanks for going through this with me.
