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.

    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?)

    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?"

    (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...

    If you're just trying to scale an object within the model, like a tower, you use the scale tool. S is the shortcut key. And if your inserting something from the 3d warehouse, its not an import really. I was imagining you were importing an autocad dwg file or something. So just use the scale tool. For paper layouts, SketchUp pro comes with a page layout utility called "layout" which does a good job of this. You might try the free pro trial once you get more familiar with the software.

    Hi TIG, Thanks for the heads up on the sketchy physics. I did install it & but it broke my sketchup, alas!:( I get an error about undefined method 'extend_object' for 'singleton' & it seems to have an issue with additionalfolders.rb because the message is from the additional folders dialouge even though sketchy physics is not installed to the additional folder but the resident plugin folder in the program files (x86) folder. It might probably have to do something with the 64 bit windows I'm running, ...or not. I guess I'll just wait for the update. Oh,well! I don't suppose I could tempt you into whipping up a ruby for circle stacking, could I? I mean I find your tangent tools quite invaluable in my work process, (so thanks for that) and what I was talking about might be closer to circle stacking/tangent tools than Apollonian circles cheers, flyashy

    thomthom Yeah, your example is absolutely correct! And right, if there is a face with coordinates like these: [7.2, 6.3] [7.8, 6.3] [8.8, 7.9] [9.2, 5.9] Then there is no point to run such a script, and the most logical thing to do would be to abort operation. It would be extremely cool if offending face would be highlighted, but I'm not sure if it's an easy thing to do, since it might be buried inside the component hierarchy and directly selecting it might be impossible. Aerilius Thanks, I will definitely try this, even though the plugin description doesn't look very revelant. But maybe it does what's needed as an unintended side effect, will check.

    To reduce the amount of polygons, you need a polygon reducer plugin (Polyreducer 0.1, or Artisan which is by far the best). For terrains, you could also get results with Terrain Reshaper.

    Show us the error dialog. As a guess... You probably don't have sufficient access rights to the Sketchup 'plugins' folder. Ensure that these are FULL [read/write], then retry installing the RBZ file through the Preferences > Extensions > Installer button, or use thomthom's API equivalent 'Simple-Plugins-Installer'... Note that on a MAC the correct plugins folder is the one in the Lib of the root HD - NOT the 'user' equivalent [assuming you let SketchUp install itself in the default folders and didn't mess with it during the app's installation etc]...
