Check out new free SketchUp plugin that shows suns path, hour of day etc: http://tx.technion.ac.il/~arrguedi/SunTools/dwnld_after_reg/STdwnld.htm Works on SketchUp 7 and for SketchUp 6 (have to direct it to SketchUp 6/plugin in the INSTALL process - as instructed in SunTool Help file.)

there's a recent topic that's along these lines.. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18014 not about a macro recorder rather a GUI for making scripts. @jim here's a universal recorder and sketchup.. you'll see that i had to lock the orientation of the 2nd circle and that's where things went haywire. [everything after the still shot of the ring is being done automatically] [flash=500,405:3dd0x04h]http://www.youtube.com/v/W-4FxpqeKmg&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1[/flash:3dd0x04h]

do it in blender

I suppose if the user is using this plugin they already have a good idea of what its going to look like, so showing them isnt neccesary. More generally, most people just use common sense.

Just saw the new video, Fredo - you've outdone yourself. This is a milestone plugin.

oops thanx, i must have missed an update or 2

@su30 said: Many thanks Chris, I think it will be an evolution that we move on from finding stray lines to finding open faces! I think people who are making .stl files need to make their model watertight. So quickly finding all open faces might be useful for them. I had run into a problem with the drape command due to little faces not being created, so I wrote this script to find the little missing faces. So its useful for specialized purposes. And chech out TIG's script, that goes above and beyond my little labeler, helping to automoate the mesh cleaning process. Very handy TIG, thanks for the link! Chris

Yeah, if you had a model you could upload that would be great too. You say uou have a point above the plane - is it a construvtion point? Or what type of point is it? I'd be interested in knowing. Also, where is that point coming from? Is someone putting it in manually? If so, perhaps there is another method that could be done to help automate the process even more. Chris

Your welcome Mark and I will shortly be in the same boat! My new Mac is now in transit, being shipped as I type Boring for everyone else, but I'm very excited

thanx chriss that works fine does still need that close face option, and i noticed some slight snapping if u click near a vertice or line, but its awsome thanx. i like the red line also

See http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=10555 please... I've made this plugin on a similar request... But there is a SU bug on creating groups inside a component...

Thanks Chris. You may be right regarding what to call it.

@xrok1 said: even a script where you could select one or more edges(with same general orietation of course) and then hit R,G,or B on your keyboard to align them in that axis would be very cool. I agree, this would be quite handy - especially working with imported models.

That's Rhino. Not SketchUp. You can't add more viewports in SU. Not with ruby. It'd have to be something the SU team implemented.

i have a script "displaytemplate.rb" for su 5. that could creat more diffrent scene style. and it can work with su6 but some style wrong. you can try. displaytemplate.rb

@xrok1 said: select what you want to add to your group ctrl+x to cut from the scene open the group you would like to add to use edit>paste in place from menu to paste it back to the same location but inside the group this is how its done so i doubt anyone will write a script. it helps if you add a shortcut key for paste in place such as ctrl+shift+v. He did mention that he'd used that method. And never say never. Being able to open an group/component and "import" external entities isn't such a bad idea.

well mate thanks for the quick reply and also for taking my request into concideration, I will be patiently waiting
