No need to delete anything... I've moved this entire thread into 'Plugins'.

Wow! Thanks so much for writing that! It works great!

Hi, How long does the trial period last? I'm considering a purchase, even though it's a bit expensive for such a small (yet very useful!) tool, because I had issues with other "line extrusion" plugins.

The current version is v1.4.1 https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ae_WireTool Perhaps the author [ae] finally decided to re-sign it to suit the newer SketchUp versions, but the code was otherwise unchanged ?

I think it's worth pointing out in the plugin description that since it uses sun for shading, it has a negative impact on SketchUp's performance. While it shouldn't be problematic with small models, the heavy ones will lag badly. But anyway, this setup can often be really helpful so thank you

There's a developer working on a bridge from PowerCADD to SketchUp. Why? It's his passion, but also he does ALL the good PowerCADD add-ons and this would just be another arrow in his quiver. It's possible someone would like to make this DWG copy-paste script for themselves and then offer it to others. I don't find the DWG import that cumbersome. I usually copy out a portion of a drawing to a new file (with only Layer0) clean it up, save it, and import to SketchUp. The clean up step saves time in SketchUp. But I don't need this more than once a week.

Thanks Steve. This looks very useful.

that's the one I have installed and it was acting funny by not adding separators on toolbars despite the fact they were being added in the editor. After briefly looking over the script, it seems the id of the elements is being taken from LaunchUp, so perhaps that one isn't being updated?

Problem solved, plugin signing and encryption issue

@klavere said: One year later, and I still haven't found a component array plugin... Could be a sign that you should write that plugin.

It appears under the Tools menu... As is explained in the first post in this thread, and its usage notes in its PluginStore entry...

hello can you please make a step by step guide on how to make this work properly because it only work once after i installed it and shows a blank html after i restart skp... i make c:sketchup directory and just installed both and cant understand the following intructions cuz im not used to it

Annoying, why don't you state out this plugin is not actually free and price for full version? It felt disgusted after install it and literally use it during work and it just freezes your SketchUp only because you don't pay money and your website for buying also only shows a blank box in the middle without any way to actually purchase or price. You are really not a pleasant way to do business at all.

Hi If you bought Vertex Tools version 1 it will not be able to activate version 2. A major version upgrade require a new license. After 10 years version 1 is retired and only version 2 will be receiving updates. There is still a 50% discount offer to upgrade from version 1 to version 2. To obtain your discount codes, enter the email you used to order VT1 into the form on this page: https://evilsoftwareempire.com/discounts -T

You need to add some extra code, e.g. read the scene name then split it at the space etc etc name="Scene 2 1;00pm" splitname=name.split(" ") ###>>> ["Scene", "2", "1;00pm"] timestring = splitname[2] ###>>> "1;00pm" ###delete the ; timestring.gsub!(/[;]/, "") ###>>> "100pm" ###now check if pm if timestring=~/pm$/ timestring.gsub!(/pm$/, "") time_num=timestring.to_i + 1200 ###>>> 100 >>> 1300 timestring=time_num.to_s ### elsif timestring=~/am$/ timestring.gsub!(/am$/, "") ###>>> 100 end name=splitname[0]+" "+splitname[1]+" "+timestring ### modify name >>> "Scene 2 1300" ### ### now rename that scene with the modified name etc... ### To strip off the entire 'Scene N ' part just use: name=timestring ### modify name >>> "Scene 2 1;00pm" >>> "1300"

Thanks Glenn, that did the trick!

Thank you JGA. That resolved it. I was not aware those were the file names. You have helped improve the performance of the program for me. The exporter to nowhere was causing performance issues with SketchUp.

OK, i should have worked a little more before asking for help I understand now When different lengths are introduced, if there as many lengths of uncut tube as cut tubes [image: RnBy_2021-03-0116_53_18-Inteloide-TubeCuttingOptimizationsketchUcation1.png] It gives a results, but with an error: tube number 1, 3 m long, cannot be divided in 4.76 m

OHHH I see! Thanks!
