Hi, You can PM me a doc, or ods, or rtf, or pdf. All these will be just fine Regards

Ahh, that explains it. Thanks for the nod, I'll use that. This is such a useful plugin, is there any chance it'll get updated?

@tig said: You usually get a better response when you post in any tool's main thread... That said... It's a 3-point rectangle. [Read the status-bar prompts] Click the 2d-rectangle's start-corner. Next click the second-point to set the rectangle's first side [you can also type a dimension + enter]. Finally click a third-point to set the rectangle's second side [you can also type a dimension + enter]. Note in some locales you might use a . instead of a , as the decimal-separator. e.g. 1.234 >>> 1,234 And also the locale's list-separator changes from a , to a ; That's not how it works on my SketchupMake2016 (free). I click the first point, then click on the second point and type a number into the measurements box. When I click on the third point I can type another number into the measurements box, but the numbers don't seem to have any effect upon the length of the sides of the rectangle. When I select the regular sketchup dimension tool, the various boxes I have drawn have no relationship to one another. For instance if I draw a rectangle that is supposed to be 36 units high and 4 units wide and then select the dimension tool, it might show anything from 45 high to 7 29/32 wide. Another box drawn with the same 36x4 dimension might show up as 8-5/32 x 45-1/2. There is just no consistency at all. I am sure the tool is behaving as it is supposed to, but I just don't understand how to make it draw a box of the dimensions that I want. vern

Hey Dave, thank's for the feedback! @unknownuser said: Do you have the current version of TTLib installed? Nop! And that was it! I installed, and work's fine now! Thank You Dave!

I only took 5 years hehe. This little tool is genious: https://extensions.sketchup.com/sv/content/curic-paste-components https://youtu.be/KXwa1L2Iw_Y

Hi glro! Thanks for you reply! ..unfortunately this solution doesn't fit my needs: I'm working with medium-complexity dynamic components and I was wondering if there was some tool capable not to export some of their INNER object I may actually want to make present or not. Say: you have a door and you can choose whether to have a door handle or not. In case you choose not to have it, I'd like to make it invisible (and I can do it with DC attributes) and I'd like not to export it in my components report. Do you understand what I mean?

Did you get yourself a copy? If you do I would be interested to know how it goes, what works well, what doesn't, if you don't mind sharing that information. I'm always concerned about the workflow and user interface issues from the perspective of a developer who is trying to understand the perspective of the user. It is always nice when a tool you are using is actually a joy to use (physical or software), and of course either a major time saver or it somehow allows you to do something that you could not do otherwise.

Have you used the filter options? Like if I filter by an unique attribute, say "door" then all other items though tallied are excluded. So a door schedule would overwrite to an excel template, then layout would read this minus the second row, the first being the header, may also be not shown as the header in your schedule would most likely be different. See attached with simple report saved to model, the boxes and pipes are exclude other than their total using reports.skp

TBoy, many thanks for the link. Box, you’re right, but AutoCAD has a similar command (addselected), which can save a bit of hunting and trying to locate the insertion point of a component.

very useful plugin!

That's a good one.. very useful. Functions automatic though, is there a way to control some settings, something like inscribe / circumscribe & tolerance? Thanks!

This is an 8-year old thread. Maybe you could contact the Meshlab developers with questions.

Hello, There is several DXF plugins for SU. A little search in the Pluginstore should answer your question.

@Juju, Yes it's (almost) clear for me now. Such an idea might be worthwhile exploring further, as time permits

Hello there. I have a suggestion. The group within the group should move. Please. Important.

I've noticed, mostly from models from the 3D warehouse or from folks new to SU, that there seems to have been unintended edge-coloring. Normally, I wouldn't have noticed, except when doing more "artzy" modeling or when emphasizing functional elements in the model such as process equipment and I turn on Edge Style > Color by Material. I know that I have often been in a hurry, triple-clicked surfaces or done a Select All and applied a material to edges mistakenly. So the script is handy for reviewing a model and doing a quick cleanup.

@juju Well spotted - thus far 'we' had just assumed that !

I just took a look at FormZ matching tool- it's amazingly effective and simple. It's a shame it's still absent in standard SU. I'd buy a similar commercial plugin for sure. P.S. Is it possible to export from FormZ cameras via Skp\3ds\Fbx format?

Even more, it would be nice to have a plugin which helps in optimizing SU model by marking groups and components with colors according to their polygon count. ... and than gives an option to reduce them (useful for making proxies also)
