I updated the plugin http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=505840#p505840 [mod=:mjnka2at]I added the correct link - taken from the small tag below the title of the first-page.

@newone said: Uff, "soon" didn't meant after 2-3 weeks. Sorry for that. I'm still working on it. Unfortunately I have little time to work on it. But it will! Live your life in that time. Since now I re-made id from scratch for three times. And the hard part is that I'm learning programming in this time, because I don't have any experience. So, sorry again. This thread was intended to collect some ideas that will help to guide this plugin in right direction. Hi NewOne, It has been a while since 2009. How are things going with Skabinet?

After many setbacks we will release v2.5 next week. The reason for the delay is that w added the ability to bulk update plugins... [screenr:owkm4dx2]BWsN[/screenr:owkm4dx2] ...so no more click, click, click Other goodies reside within but they're been kept quiet until release

And you should also check "Make fur" plugin!

@tig said: If you activate the Preferences > Extension > 'Ruby Script Examples' you get a right-click context-menu item "Point at Center"... but only IF you have an Arc/Circle already selected. The advantage of using one of the other 'arc_center_point' tools is that activating 'Examples' also loads several other tools you might never need... Attached a stripped down version of only the "Point at Arc/Center" context menu command derived from the Ruby script examples of SU8 and condensed to one file. Thus the function cannot be disabled/enabled via the "Preferences > Extensions" dialog, just drop to the "\Plugins" sub-folder, restart SU and you're gone. If someone of the Ruby programming gurus here likes to enhance for the configuration via the extensions dialog, just go ahead. [Update 12.05.14]Converted to an extension which now can be enabled/disabled via the Extensions dialog and saved in RBZ-Format sothat installation can be done via the Extensions dialog too.[/Update] hth, Norbert RBZ archive

@tt_su said: @glro said: i didn't find this information in http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/methods.php nor http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/classes.php Those docs only cover the SketchUp API, refer to the Ruby docs for core Ruby features: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-1.8.6/index.html I am not a professional programmer, and sometimes, i even surprise myself when i get a result from the code i just wrote there is intelligence in the code itself Maybe that's why i enjoy so much writing code Next time i don't find something in SU API, i'll look for it in Ruby doc Thank you

Aren't you also using it for the PluginStore Author's edit pages' tooltips ? /templates/rt_halcyon/css/css-116e3c6b333e2b4b00d701e38be1f880.php These tooltips popup on PC and MAC... So it is MAC friendly something must be awry with the equivalent dynamically created css used by the dialog's code ? For example plugindex_2_5.css_20140103100927.css showing: .hint,[data-hint] { position;relative;} .hint;before,.hint;after,[data-hint];before,[data-hint];after {

will see there are subtle differences in the css coding. One works on MAC, and one doesn't... the one that fails uses some differing/additional codes: .hint:after,[data-hint]:after{content:attr(data-hint);background:#383838;color:#fff;**text-shadow:0 -1px 0 black;**padding:8px 10px;font-size:12px;line-height:12px;white-space:nowrap;**box-shadow:4px 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,.3)**}*** .hint--error:after{background-color:#b34e4d;**text-shadow:0 -1px 0 #5a2626**}*** and several similar lines... [some just with different colors] versus .hint:after,[data-hint]:after{content:attr(data-hint);background:#383838;color:#fff;padding:8px 10px;font-size:12px;line-height:12px;white-space:nowrap;} .hint--error:after{background-color:#c0392b;} and several similar lines... [some just with different colors] ***Also several lines in the failing css have no terminating ' ;' which the MAC might not like ?

Thank you all!

Yeah right! No matter how I just hope there's someone who can help thanks!

Using meters scales to meters... 1.m in code but 1m in dialog...

Adding to the list : Front Face by Tomasz Marek http://www.tomaszmarek.eu/sketchup_1.html

I don't know of a plugin that would make the Plugins menu two columns wide. That would be interesting but I'm not sure it could be accessed via Ruby anyway. You could edit some of the plugins to make them appear in other menus. Typically the menu in which the plugin will appear is show at the end of the .rb file and you could edit it in Notepad with no trouble. Perhaps a better way would be to use the Sketchucation Plugin Store to manage your plugins. Surely there are some plugins you rarely use. Those could be set so they don't load normally and you can load them just when you want them. You could even create sets of plugins to load or not load as the need arises.

thanks so much...

@luqmanuel1985 said: Hy TAK2HATA, i have a problem, i am using SU2013, the toolbar menu disappear, when i create section from plug in menu show up notice "Here is no Section for this tool". Please help me. Hi,luqmanue. @unknownuser said: the toolbar menu disappear Does it means this plugin menu disappear in "plugins" menu? or Menu bar disappear? This tool has no toolbar. Did you watch the tutorial video on top of this thread? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=45039#p402561 Please place the section plane in sketchup. Select it, and show pulldown menu from right click. You can find the command "Section Drawing". Or not select section plane ,and Select command from "Section Drawing" in "plugins" menu. Thanks.

Thank you TIG. Really appreciate it! I havent done any update for a long time and must get up to date with how the pluginstore works, more in detail. I suppose I should move the manual there to, perhaps ? Did not manage to downsize it to less then 1.8 mb.

@zhulaojianke said: @aarondietzen said: Hi Tony, TIG has pretty much covered this. Sandboxie prevents our software from authorizing. Sorry! I have reinstall win7 and reinstall sketchup and buildedge, I have uninstall sandboxie and it can run well, but when I input my serial number, it reply "Activation not allowed"! Anyone can help me? If you have removed the sandbox tool, the best bet is to uninstall and reinstall BuildEdge PLAN. If you need a hand with this, the best plan is to contact our Help Desk at http://www.buildedge.com/support They will be able to walk you through the steps of reinstalling and get you back up and running.
