Jeff im not using a Mac so cheetah 3D is out of the question, but cheers anyways

Er,I searched the google sketchup API, and maybe there's no such API to do this work? So it's no use to write such a plugin like this using Ruby. I think it may be in the SelectionObserver class or camera class, and I don't find one... Dear Thomthom, Am I get the point?

Please read: 5 tips about running more than one sketchup http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=40254 Tip 1,5 & 2 may help Load scripts with ruby toolbar or autoload When you want to clear out loaded plugins script by starting another sketchup, select all, copy and paste in place to newly loaded sketchup then exit out the old tip 1) You can run more than one sketchup programs at the same time. Just hit your shortcut key twice and find out.

Interesting. Sorry it didn't work for you. Perhaps another Mac user will provide a clue as to why this is happening.

thank you for this one. i've downloaded it and used it few days ago. i've been using SU2KT 3.16 since the first time i used Kerkythea. if only i didn't see the post in this forum i might end up still using the 3.16 for months once again, thank you.

I tend to not save shadow settings with my "camera" scenes. So when I got from scene to scene, it leaves the shadows how I have them set at that moment. Then I have a couple of scenes that just change the shadow settings, but not camera locations. So I can go from scene in whatever shadow mode I have set. And just click a "Shadow" scene to change from morning sun to afternoon sun, to no sun, etc. And its easy to change the settings on multiple scenes at a time. Use the scene manager and select multiple scenes using the shift or ctrl key. Then deslect the shadowsetting and it will deselect it on all selected scenes. Or if you want to just change the current shadows setting on all scenes, then adjust the shadows how you want it, then select all desired scenes, and click update and in the pop up window, select ONLY shadow settings and it will update just the shadows settings of all selected scenes. Scenes are incredibly useful for model management like this. I could do a quick video if my explanation was confusing. Chris

Nope. Still having this problem. Maybe it's a glitch in my vcard driver or something. Just odd that it is not apparent with any other tool bar.

There's usually a 'Java' Control Panel with the rest of them...

You mean you've downloaded the latest version: Sutool 2012?! I searched the sketchupbbs.com and didn't find instructions about installing on mac...perhaps they didn't make the Macintosh version... Btw I don't use the Sutool, search plugins in this forum, I think it's enough~

Yes, I think zorro2 would be the ideal candidate. Make a simply cube (starting with the rectangle tool) in your model so that you can align the section tool precisely to the faces (i.e. axes) then move it to the perimeters of you tin, right click > slice model at section. Repeat it from all 4 sides.

@solo said: However if I'm correct in thinking that SU2Vue is a 3rd party plugin and not an e-on product, so they will not have it supported/upgradable from your profile page but rather on Cornucopia like all 3rd party content. Send an email to Dave (friendly chap) and he will have you sorted out quick. Dave kindly sent me an email with the update. Very nice of him and I appreciate it. I had also sent requests to Cornucopia to no avail (note the request back in 2010 for version 1.1). It also does not appear on my Cornucopia purchased list or on my e-on purchased list.

See how 'heighttool' [?] sets its 'string' and replace the .add_text() in the other file with the 2dtext code using the height 'string' ? Can you explain how you see this being used ... I'm guessing you want 'flat' 2dtext height-tags rather than 'Text'?

@dave r said: Pete, how are you generating your cut list? Are you doing that with CutList 4.1.1? If so, you probably do not want the dimensions or labels inserted inside the components. The plugin reports the dimensions of the bounding boxes of the bottom level components. If those components have things like labels or dimensions included, the bounding boxes will be larger than the actual piece of wood you need to make and thus your cut list will be inaccurate. Dave I use the generate report function of SU Pro and use and excel macro to format the cutlist information the way it works best for our shop. I would be happy to share the macro if anyone is interested.

Sam, Well, I'm supposed to know the use of the ; but i forgot.. Again thanx for your help. The Math part was easier than the constructionpointarraycreation.

Maybe you could disable the edge visibility (View/Edge Stile/Edges).

Have you tried Thom's Material Tools http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=17587

a little IDL — no ruby but I am keen to explore and learn what is possible — Lots of resources on this site!

Click on the link in the first message. Then read the directions. He says download and isntall progressbar from smustard.com and his plugin. To "install" a plugin, if it is an .rb file, just drop it into your SketchUp "plugins" folder. If it is a .zip file, extract it to your plugins folder keeping the same folder structure in place that exists inside the zip file. Then restart SketchUp and it will work if you did it right. Good luck, Chris

Maybe a Windoze 'Compatibility Files' issue - check your 'permissions' for the Plugins folder properties ?

@thomthom said: Did you do anything with your Tools folder after reinstalling SketchUp? Nope. I loaded everything exactly as they were before. In fact, curiously, all, and I mean all, of my plugins loaded just fine. Except, of course, the unfortunate shadow strings fix.
