Carsten, thank you so much for both the prompt response and the great advice. I am so pleased you have a great memory!! Obviously, a 'one-touch' plugin solution would be ideal, but this workflow is fantastic and a great help. You have saved us a lot of time and frustration! Danke.....Stuart

I'm gonna go the shameless self-promotion route and advocate for this plugin that warns you when you are editing multiple components - Dan Rathburn wrote it for me: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=54082

FYI => just some thoughts; Typically windows explorer does not support file tree printing but you can down a small app from MS that allows to do that and avoids typing in long path. There is also a tree command but you get a lots of paper then; windows XP , vista, w7 and w8 do not by default show the administrator logon at the welcome screen so I doubt you are logged on as admin and normally do not want to be. You have to separately activate it and that activation is different vs version of the OS see this http://www.raymond.cc/blog/display-administrator-account-on-windows-xp-welcome-screen/; Initially when the SU2013 released the plugin folder "Plugin" would not show in the menu bar. It required both su_examples dir and assocated rb file or a plugin that activated. Those are not in your file tree maybe not needed now. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!mydiscussions/sketchup/wgHev0V84Gg Are the two PCs exactly the same; Compare file tree of both since one works and other does not;

Cool one!

Haven't tested it yet but it looks like this plugin from honoluludesktop (still giving to the community ) should do the Make Unique portion of what we're talking about. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=346107#p346107 -Brodie

@cotty said: The only thing you have to do is: call it a button Thanks... it was a matter of just finding where it was!!

If you have 'your own computer' and can therefore do simple admin tasks yourself, then simply fix your Plugins folder's permissions etc - see this stickie http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=508319#p508319 Like will be much easier thereafter...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will need to check Spline Fit plugin and Curvizard. Sorry for not being 100% clear with my explanation, I agree that I should have had picture in the beginning to explain the matter. Here is what I am looking for, see below. Basically I would like to modify my contours so that I could add more line segments into the straight parts. This would be essential when creating terrain mesh. Actually, I did some testing with Curvizard and I didn't find a way to add segments to straight parts without affecting the round parts. When using poly divider function I get more segments in straight parts part but I lose the multiple segment in round parts, and therefore I lose the original form of the contour.

Or do you mean Axe tools by Thomthom?

Thanks

you could try sphere tool + follow along path. Easy way to draw the lamp... [image: Dhr9SFK.jpg]

Thanks for the quick reply. I wish a good night.

It looks like the version on Sketchucation is not the latest. Please download the latest one here: http://www.landfx.com/index.php/kb/installation/item/646-how-to-install-the-sketchup-plugin.html We just shot an hour long webinar showing off what the plugin can do. It will be posted here, no later than Monday, January 27: http://www.landfx.com/index.php/videos/webinars.html Lastly, we are also in the process of updating the documentation for, available here: http://www.landfx.com/index.php/land-f-x/sketchup-connection.html You're also always welcome to contact us directly, at http://www.landfx.com/support --J

Didier made one I think that worked pretty well? And I think Fredo has a terrain plugin, I'm not sure if it will help here though. Didier's: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11320 Fredo's: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TopoShaper

Thanks for the quick response, ThomThom. It may well be coincidence as you suggest. It seemed related as I hadn't had a CleanUp crash or console error until applying the Library update. @unknownuser said: But whenever I've tried to track that down it has disappeared, either by itself, a reboot, or reinstallation. After disabling all plugins but CleanUp/TT Lib, I have tracked down a possible telltale behaviour -- it seems to work on the first run (after SU launch) without error -- regardless of model. It then throws an error on the second run in the same session. (with any other model). So from the fully initialized state it runs fine, then it seems to spit out errors. Should also mention that for the first model run in a session (than cleaned successfully), subsequent runs of the plugin works fine on that model. But the same model opened in a subsequent session --and after CleanUp has started throwing errors -- generates the same error. So from the fully initialized state it runs fine, then it seems to spit out errors. Is it possible that some variable/method is not being properly reinitialized/declared? The other weird thing (which I don't remember from before) is that after running CleanUp the cursor becomes the paint tool?? @unknownuser said: The crash, when you did get a BugSplat, did you submit it? Did you enter your email or any other message? I can then look it up and see where it crashes. Without I cannot do much. No I didn't, but when I have time I will try rolling back to the previous TT Lib version and see if it clears the issue... and if the behavior persists I will send you the bugsplat report. Don't want you to waste time chasing it down -- mostly wanted to let you know in case others were experiencing the same issue, and/or if it was easily identified. @unknownuser said: Mind you, SketchUp 8 is nearing four years old this year. Many bugs has been fixed since then. The issue you experience might very well be fixed already. You're right about SU8 -- I'm still using it because of license restrictions on SU13 Make. Hoping to finally be able to upgrade to Pro sometime this year (at this point I might as well wait till SU14 is released... at BaseCamp maybe ). Oh, and many thanks for all your fantastic plugins! Doug

Thanks for response. Loaded free trial of 1001 pro. Still getting crashes. Some commands work, some crash. Thanks, Dave

So you want an "assign last used layer to selection" tool... The problem is how do you find what the last layer that was assigned... If the tool itself has assigned a layer then it's an easy set/get, but if you use the native tools or another script then how do we know ? Even a layers-observer would be ineffective as that spots changes to layers, we need to watch entities. An entities-observer that spots changes to each and every entity in the model... and looks to see if their layer has altered, and if so it takes that as the last-assigned layer... might do it, but it seems very cumbersome... Perhaps a tool in two parts, one to assign a layer [and remember it] and the other to apply that remembered layer to other selected objects... Sometimes a simple sounding idea is far more complex and convoluted that you at first imagine...
