Yes this one is what I was looking for, thanks to all, and I just downloaded Layer manager too, and it's very good one, Thanks to all.

Zoom. v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = 3 level of zoom depth action, zoom select, zoom orbit and zoom window. (simple) It's a 1 or 2 or 3 level depth action (nice) Zoom + Tools next ver 2.0 zoomZoom = I add tools return obtions (zoomWindowSelectv1.0) + 5ea different tool returns, lots of toolbar buttons now (not as easy)now depth action of 4, also gave tips about the use of keyboards for other return tools it a 1, 2, 3 or 4 level depth action.(nice) Zoom + Tools + views + sytles + display boxes(API Sketchup.send_action tools) next ver 3.0 zoomView = I needed to get rid of usage of toolbar buttons so I pull back too one button, and a inputbox with one big zoomZoom drop down menu bar, default as zoomWindowSelectv1.0 with 12 other zoom zoom but it incease the work by couple of keyin. I needed to add views + sytles now to justify the keyins. also the API Sketchup.send_action tools had some input display boxs. Now menus.depth action is 7 but its not a 1-6 or 7 depth action friendly. (not good) I will fix this soon. I would say these are different tools, you can zoomWindowSelect on all 3 version but it not as nice as ver 1. but I must say v3.0 get rid of 2 standard toolbar views + sytles and it put the zoom togather on one menu inputbox and one button toolbar. Have some fixes coming to v3.0

Just to update, sdmitch revised the script a bit and it's working wonderfully for me now. -Brodie

Can also be written like so: m = materials['Door'] || materials.add('Door')

update July 21, 2012 -fix the deletion of redo's -now have reout of defult number of undo's

So each point on subsequent profiles should be determined like the starting Z. mod = Sketchup.active_model ent = mod.entities sel = mod.selection p=[];z=5;y=0 for x in 0..10 p<<Geom;;Point3d.new(x,y,z) case rand(3) when 0; z -= 1 if z > 0 when 2; z += 1 if z < 10 end z=5 if x==9 end for y in 1..10 for i in 1..10 ent.add_line(p[i-1],p[i]) end for i in 0..10 p[i].y=y case rand(3) when 0; p[i].z -= 1 if p[i].z > 0 when 2; p[i].z += 1 if p[i].z < 10 end end p[10].z=p[0].z end

I have sent you, by PM, a possible help for orienting faces.

Thanks for your help!

Around line #302 is the text end#def Volume::process place you additional code on its own line, just before that - vol.erase! etc to remove the vol-group etc...

Mitcorb, thanks mate. Got it! Have transferred post. Cheers....Scotty

Maybeis to late, but, perhaps still work for you http://www.imsidesign.com/Products/CADCompanionProducts/pdf2cad/tabid/1722/Default.aspx?cid=422390

Awesome. That worked.

@tomot said: @edson said: tom, I found out what appears to be an odd behavior in your plugin: the louver tool and the mullion tool generate doors without frames! is that on purpose or my copy is not working properly? I am on mac. I find it very strange in comparison with your own Bifold Tools which generates complete doors with frames. Sorry for the very late reply,...its by design, for example if you don't like the bifold door panels you can delete them and replace them with actual louvers, from window tools, or use a pic that represents louvers. the same is true with my cabinet tool, if you don't like the panel effect you can replace the panels with louvers from window tools, as illustrated in the attached pic. thanks for the explanation.

Hi I have an thought. by expanding yout process to include all these steps may help Make 10 to 12 double group models Use section tool to work into each outside group with group edit, copy paste one, section .to ea group model. Compometize inside group for later editing. Use 5 different skp files to work ea scene way you want them. Open another sketckup (6ea maybe ok) you cut and paste too and from.(child and parent) Use layer tool in parent Use scene tool in parent Right click for context menu or double click all sections, to get action cuts. (your work out right) Now play your scene. [image: jR7s_pic_0016.jpg] The best way: is to double click on ea sections for action cuts. done.

OMG It's exactly what I need.. Thanks

Chri's suggestions are sound, but it doesn't get over the 'labeling' issue... If you give the components names relating to part-refs then when you manually add a Text object pointing to one of them then by default it should show its name as the initial text-string ? It would be possible to code something to add text at every instance with its definition name etc, but try it manually first off...

If you want that someone makes a plugin for you post a file SKP (save as V6) with also an image before / after for avoid missunderstood problem Maybe your problem is trivial for a ruby coder, maybe not And this must work for any number of components ?

Hi. Your post reminded me of a similar question I was going to ask here a while ago, but I never got around to asking. Today I went looking for and found the Plugin that I was going to ask about, thanks to your post... Component Spray: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=33908 I know I used it to make a model that needed evenly spaced columns arrayed along a path... but I'm not sure if it was an easy workflow... If you go to this page, down to plot-paris's post with the image showing column placement you can see what I mean: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11746 Hope this of some use... good luck.

Yea, the toolbar settings are complicated. They have a weird relationship of multiple values so it's not as easy as just finding one setting for one toolbar.
