have you reached out to the manufacturer to get the file specifications - gcode version # etc? they should know what version of the file, formats etc is needed for their machines...

YES! Thank you so much! That did it

Looks tatsty! Stromb-oli! Thanks Pilou.

i had the same problem yesterday. Tried a lot to fix it but nothing helped. In the end i de-installed and re-installed sketchup and that did the trick

Aerilius beat me to it, but here's my similar answer, anyway not easily without completely overwriting all of it's definitions and methods which would be risky unless you wrote it in the first place. the alternative is use RC to find and rename the plugin so it doesn't work for the next startup, and then do a restart. there may even be a plugin for that... john

Not sure if it's described in the plugin description - but there is a function there.

@gilles add self. at line 143, that seems to work here... [ in a quick test at least!!! ] def self.as_require_all(dirname) john

See this post for one of the option asked!

TIG has also some snipsets for this sort of things (all codes must be on one line in the ruby console!!!

can that be drawn in sketchup? yes ..using the same method as shown in the video? no

The logs list no edits for this thread. Just locks/unlocks, merge and bump.

We don't currently put any time into testing every plugin released though. It would in theory add quite a bit of extra time to our moderator duties.

FYI, there is a newer STL import/export project, open sourced by the SketchUp team over at: https://github.com/SketchUp/sketchup-stl

Thanks TIG! Easy when you know how, I'm going to have to learn Ruby! Regards, Willie

Tip_dj no. 13 The outliner isolation: Make all connected to a group, then enter the group edit mode and make sub isolated groups. Open outliner and dragged your isolated selected groups to above top untitled area to Isolate Selection and when done editing drag back or explode if need. "EarthMover" - dukejazz "Isolate Selection" - Yes (Tip_dj) "Looking for a plugin that" - No, not a plugins sorry "will isolate whatever is selected in an isolation" - Yes "mode and conversely exit out" - Yes "isolation and bring back all of the non isolated items."- Yes "If possible, when exiting isolation mode, the tool will not affect any previously hidden geometry (geometry hidden prior to enter isolation mode)"- Yes "I think currently there are a few option to hide unselected" - Yes hide by context hide ", but to revert requires" - Yes select hidden by context _ unhide one to unhide all"- Yes select all and hide by context hide || unhide Results: "probably be quicker than via a script-TIG" My point, the outliner is very good tool to have open and to use.-dj

My 2 cents about exporting: Export as texturized single3ds object. Then in Max run 'detach by material' (found at scriptspot). Believe me it's a completely different world- blazing speed! BTW there's also 'attach by material' script (caution: memory hungry). Hope it helps.

Hello, Don't worry guys!

Thanks TIG, I'll try all the suggestions. Didn't see the post about the swivelButton tool. I'll check that as well. Thanks again, Ralph

@driven said: not so much a quick, but how Su specifies the Nib files for all the sub-windows the majority are NSPanels that have been left as 'click thru' so that they 'don't' take 'focus' when clicked. To be honest, I understand almost none of that but the 'quirk' as best as I can explain it is under the circumstances I described, the focus doesn't 'click thru' to anything. It is as if the programmers are relying on a click in some window to set the focus explicitly when the app becomes frontmost, but did not consider that there is no click involved when a tool is selected via a keyboard shortcut. So in this case nothing 'takes' the focus, & the toolbar & pointer in the drawing window aren't updated properly. Does that make any sense?

Well, I guess we just got our wires crossed. I thought you were giving me the equivilant of "just google it". Sometimes things don't always come across well in text
