I have not this release. I'll install it. Thank you very much!

You're welcome. @unknownuser said: ...and as so often, TIG to the rescue. Indeed.

Massimo, Thank you for the suggestion. I will have to try them as well. Ben

Hi Thomas, Sorry to hear you were having installation issues. It looks like our Help Desk is in touch with you, though. In fact, it looks like Rick in our office has emailed you and is waiting to hear back. Unfortunately, we are limited as to the hours that we can offer support, but most issues that come in through the website are adressed within an hour (or, if the issue comes in at night, or over the weekend, we try to respond right away the next business morning). Anyhow, please let em know if you have any issues with our software once you are up and running! Thanks! Aaron

@mitcorb said: I apologize, that should have been FFD free form deformation. Actually, SSD would be smooth subdivide, actually what Blender calls a modifier. Gotcha'. Thanks.

Thanks Didier, this is exactly the missing function I was looking for, but it does not work works under sketchup 8... I posted too quickly and I did not put the script in the right plugins folder (damn Apple...) Here is how to find it if you use a mac : http://sketchuptips.blogspot.se/2008/03/how-to-download-and-install-plugins.html It works very well and save me a lot of work!!

Sorry to be slow in responding, but I cannot replicate this problem. SU's Install Extension option works as expected on my Mac which is running the latest version of Mountain Lion.

@gade said: Hello, i'm very interested into your plugin but it's not working on my computer... is it possible to use your plugin with mac ? i have sketchup 8? please help me to use your plugin i would like to make a model ... Hi I will need some more informations to answer, I havn't used it in a long time, at least this version, but I see no reason why it should not work on Mac.

Your 60s seems a lot of segments [try 12!] Also the offset is 6" - how big is the box ??

I have sent files by attachment, check your email Thomas: It can also happen that your browser may have pop-up screens blocked.

one thing i just request is i hope that it has abit of indication that it display that a paricular link or file is embedded in the component.

My one-liner posted earlier will 'zero' all selected objects so that their bounds.min.z=0... It will 'destroy' some selected objects like vertical faces, when their edges all get to be 'coincident' on the ground!! Hence the warning about it being best used on groups/component-instances...

If I ever do anything meant to be useful, but this is an example from the book and is intended to be run in the raw. Back in the day, Cadence and Cadalyst had columns in each issue wherein the author presented a small-but-useful AutoLisp routine with explanations of what and why. A lot of people got the hang of AutoLisp from those columns. I don't suppose there is something similar for Ruby?

@kratos_godofwar3 said: lets come to my problem, i tried to download & install so many plugins like podium 1.6.1 & podium v2 etc.. however i wasn't able to install & use it.. You need to provide more info here. What did you try and exactly what "didn't work"? )Error messages, can't find menus or toolbars for the plugin, it didn't perform an operation as expect? There are so many ways something "doesn't work" that you need to be specific when you ask questions.) For a general guide to installing plugins: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/installing-plugins-for-google-sketchup/ All though, for Podium, doesn't it have its own installer? (And why did you try to install anything other than the latest version? Did you install these versions on top of each other?)

i see an open error when using the Kerkythea plug-in and trying to directly launch Kerkythea after generating the output file. so i have to save and close the SU file (or create a new blank one or open another file) before i can open the Kerkythea output file...

Well, this will be a confusing thread for others who come along. Could you clarify things? @unknownuser said: Today I feel that this one company likes to be more inventive in creating new untold payments for the customer than it is in creating new features for the software. So, a bit of frustration is in the air. Which company? @unknownuser said: Dissatisfaction is caused by their greediness for new kinds of payments. They are using SWREG, of which I have never heard before. Googling the net that service is not favored by all customers. Now me included. Who are you saying is greedy? Who is using SWREG? @unknownuser said: Found a good piece of software right from the Sketchup plugin list. Time to go on. Which one is the "good piece of software?"

Here's a plugin (another?) that does what you asked. Moved the plugin Stepped Extrude to it's own post. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=48812

(And my try isn't even the first. And not the last. It seems searchable interfaces are en vogue.) I imagine that idea could do much more than just searching which plugin to start/load, but also for executing actions, maybe for "speeking" to SketchUp. Of course this would be better implemented on system-level(see below) or like Android's Majel or Apple's Siri. [flash 512,350:2u38h6cb]http://www.youtube.com/v/EHjEiTSHvqc?version=3&start=10[/flash:2u38h6cb] For now we are waiting for Trimble to fix/complete their API ( UI::Command.proc), this plugin is otherwise not possible without the risk of breaking your plugins. The UI::Command is a nice abstraction of a feature, it should contain as much metadata of a function as possible (icon, keywords, description), and then it can be easily accessible via menus/toolbars/webdialogs/voice/screen readers/keyboard search...
