Seasdes, just in case someone dares challenge me to a lazy duel...zzzzz, i'm ready! 2 things come to mind, a plugin could be written such that when activated, waits for you to click on a face or edge, finds all connected geometry and groups it. another is that you could have a key that works as start and end time ie. press the key > draw > press the key again. everything drawn between presses will be grouped. quite like the first option, many times i have to draw many sections and group them at the start of a project. this could save a few precious minutes and clicks, which could go towards my alarm clock.

@pcmoor said: I made this DC in response to a question on the SketchUp community about "Generating a 2D irregular polygon for a geodesic floor plan" you can easily check the radius for a number of sides for a given length, then match the circle properties to suit Thanks... I'll give it a try.

yep, TIG's a tiger when it comes to solutions and coding

Hey Chris is there any way to display count components when select them too?

Bingo, thank you! I'll try to come up with something more difficult next time.

Ok, so then it's a matter of you implementing the compare overlapping edges in nested groups?

@raineysky said: Sam, Thanks for the quick reply and thanks for the great plugin. It has really sped up my workflow. I'll find a work-around for the curved surface. Paul Does the projected beam have to be a solid? If not, commenting out one statement will allow it to work.

Thank you so much Didier for making all these wonderful plugins for free. All of them are saving from hours of extra work, very useful for architectural work ! Sketch Up users have almost nothing to envy to 3DS Max users, with a good practice skp can do almost anything thanks to developpers like you, TomTom, Tig, Fredo etc Good work guys

Can be also a cool noisy landscape art tool! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4evQgxn8RU

one of my favorite toolbar is CD Standard [image: AaNd_YellowDoor_Snap_2015.05.02_18h54m55s_001_CDSTANDARD.jpg]

Never mind all i needed to do was make sure the SU_dynamiccomponets.rb file was coppied and renamed to dynamiccomponets.rb. After doing this all the plugins seem to work.

@tig said: @onzki said: By the way TIG, I noticed that the list of existing layers won't allow me to scroll down to see more layers- is there a new version that can scroll along the list? This is a known limitation of the UI.inputbox drop-down list. However, it is not insurmountable... To pick a layer-name that is off the end of the list... Select the drop-down box so it highlights, immediately type in the start of the layer name [DO NOT press <enter>] - e.g. X The listing now jumps to show perhaps " Xref-1" If you want " Xref-3" press the down arrow key to page to it. If you want " Wins" and are currently at " Xref-1" then use up arrow key presses to get to it... Works like a charm! Thanks a lot!

As pilou mentioned - SketchyPhysics - with unexpected results... not really for natural stonewalls. But it's worth to try... Splittest 2 - unexpected

@lodewijk said: But its still not in the tab Extensions, [highlight=#ffff80:adar9nmm]from where you always open an extension[/highlight:adar9nmm] when needed. This is the assumption that is making you stall. A lot of plugins are not accessed from the Extensions Menu. Some of them are contextual, like this one; Some of them are inside other menus, like Fredo's usually are inside tools; Some are accessed by Toolbars; Some are accessed when singing to the right rithm; Some of them are not accessed at all and only show up on an event, Like componente flag, wich only pops up when you edit a component; Etc...

In the case of the Toolbox A2, that's not so much a matter of copyright protection than a question of maintenance and support of the scripts. So reference OK, embedding NO. Fredo

Ahhh. i read import. you want export to obj with textures. Then i would recommend ThomThom QuadFace tools. It has a great OBJ exporter with textures.

@McGyver My Main Rule is: all Objects not designed by my self and without permission i dont want use. i use 3d objects only if i have the permission by the designer or redesigner. all permissions was send per email. some permissions was only given, if i write the name in the credits or in the end tile (movie) or end credits. I´m not a person will do to adorn oneself with borrowed plumes. i have no problems to write down all names of developers (Sketchup) some plugins i use very often, other only one time. In the credit i write down the Nickname..if Dev´s dont want that i write down the real name. Mc Giver (Richard Dean Anderson) ?

Standard is Power of 2. only the engines like twinmotion, lumion, LumenRT..etc accept other sizes. A game engine is a little bit different. dont ask me what the difference will be and why. some game engines have guide lines. and the most game engines i know.. accept only 2[sup:2tnqux68]n[/sup:2tnqux68]. and some engines only DDS.

@pixero said: In my test I made a simple cube a group and moved it on top of the first. No components used. Still all horizontal edges were hidden. The groups are instances of the same definition (just like components) until you edit one of them. I think you get correct result if you explode one of the groups and then regroup it, this will make the regrouped group unique. Nevertheless, I need a script like this myself and will try to make a better version as soon as I get time. As pointed out in the other thread, faces should also be hidden by the script in order to prevent bleed through.

@unknownuser said: My C++ code will become multi platform. Windows 32, Windows 64, OSX 32, Android and IOS this is the best solution. your target group will be bigger. i´ll hope that apple provide older versions,too. some new apps will only work on IOS7-8 (IOS7+). i have seen, too, that my downloaded apps drive only on IOS7+. I have try to download this on IOS6 and the itunes store ask me." do you want download the latest version for your IOS?" OK i downloaded. However if i try to download this on an other device (IOS6) from a colleague its not possible. with other words "The early bird catches the worm". I have read..that older devices slow down with newer IOS´s. ok this is normal, some times..is the same on PC and MAC,too. Some Apps could drive on this old device however Apple don't want this really. This is only a good will. If i have pay for the App i can use this with my Device. An other extreme is, that i can´t download all Apps outside of the U.S.A. If i try to search via Webbrowser..some times i can find Apps. If i try to download this via Itunes in an EU-Country... " is not possible to download" or "this App is not available in an European country" etc. The reason is some times, that this App is forbidden in Europe etc. etc. You see we are not global on the globe. other example is YOUTUBE: some videos we can´t see. why? the video producer have music in background that touch music rights in Europe etc...
