@cotty said: maybe Thomthoms -Edge tools: close gaps tool -Architect tools: Contour tool ? Thanks, Carsten. I will check them out.

@halroach said: @rv1974 said: Wish it was an universal Extend tool that would respect all variety of 2d: lines, splines, arcs etc. Or even for 3D like with Smart Push Pull... ..with trimming on Alt key. Dream on

Assuming you have installed the .rb into your Plugins folder [somehow] and restarted SketchUp... Then please reread the tools instruction son the first post in this thread... It is NOT an Extension, just a simple tool. IT only works from the context-menu, and only appears if you have selected two lines that are suitable... I have reprinted the key paragraph below: @unknownuser said: Usage: Select two edges that are not parallel and that could intersect if they don't already share a vertex. Right-click to get the context-menu 'Divide Angle...' Note how this context-menu item is only available if the selection is appropriate. In the dialog enter the number of divisions + OK [default is '2']. It must be a positive integer [2 NOT 2.0]; otherwise you are prompted to retry. Also it must be 2 or more; otherwise there's an error message and it exits. Guide-lines are now drawn through the two selected edges and the division[s] as you have specified. The angle between the edges that is less than 180 degrees is always divided.

I am surprised no one has mentioned this plugin. I use it all the time to trim steel and piping members. Just draw a face of what you wish to trim away, make your selection and select the face and presto you have trimmed the selection. I use it from drilling holes and trimming ends. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41582#p368373 Ken

Are you using Ruby threads? Threads in Ruby 1.8 are green threads, meaning not native threads. Can you elaborate on how you implemented a progressbar?

Muchas Gracias TIG I'll try that.

Would this help mouse control class DrawBoxPointDJ def onLButtonDown( flag,x, y,dj_view ) Sketchup.active_model.start_operation "onLButtonDown",true,true,true dj_xdown = x;dj_ydown = y;dj_view="drawBoxPoint_dj";dj_point=(Sketchup.active_model.active_view.inputpoint x,y).position puts dj_point . . . . end end Also BMVBv1-Script by T. Marek Sections: Animation - Camera ; Materials - Rendering Draws a face that covers precisely current view. Created face can be used for B&W image with alpha transparency taken from the same camera possition. Face can be semitransparent and have some openings.

I have just made payment on PAYPAL & need password to open the zip/rar file. Please sens ASAP. Thank You George gap@gapdesigners.com.au gapdesigners@gmail.com

No, I didn't test it with the Developer Console. I was thinking the people who would most want to profile their code would have such a huge trace that they would want to dump to a file. Maybe printing to stdout should have an option of showing the top N entries...

I posted a new version (see original post for files to download). Recent changes: ` %(#00BF00)[# Rev. | .Date..... | Notes -----|------------|----------------------------------- 0.98 | 2013-08-11 | Add ability to read weather data from TMY3 file .... | .......... | Bug: in fine/tmy3 mode, adjust for surface tilt .... | .......... | based on beam strength on horiz. surface, not to .... | .......... | normal-to-beam surface 0.97 | 2013-08-07 | Bug: remove Numeric class overloads, make help .... | .......... | file search relative]` The enhancement in v0.98 lets you calculate the daylight factor as a ratio of observed weather to clear sky (Bird-Hulstrum model). So for example, this is the clear sky expectation over the course of a year for some geometry geolocated in Seattle, Washington (note the max daylight factor appearing in the bottom left corner area): [image: 9489912899_8d30b0ac60.jpg] Using a weather file from Seattle, the daylight factor looked like this: [image: 9492664718_87f5fbc91c.jpg] In other words, over a typical year the cloud cover allows only 78% of the theoretical maximum sunlight reaching a horizontal surface. Contrast that with the same geometry geolocated to Phoenix, Arizona. This is the daylight factor using the Phoenix TMY3 weather file. Very little cloud cover. [image: 9492657232_c8a9a7ae59.jpg] In TMY3 mode (a.k.a weather file), I could also have displayed the results in terms of watts per square meter, to get an idea of the amount of solar energy I could capture with a photovoltaic array. Note, however, that you would have to factor in PV efficiency (or inefficiency). It should also be noted that the computations currently take a while. The above test uses really simple geometry. Here is what is being calculated: triangulated network of 96 faces to analyze 27 faces make up the shading structure analyzed from Jan 1 through Dec 31 run on a laptop with a core2 duo processor @2.26Ghz, 32 bit OS, 3GB ram and it takes 126 secondsto crunch.

I do again, and now works fine =D thks

this plugin seems to do the same thing http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23029 i use it from time to time and haven't noticed any problem

Can you post a screenshot of your Plugins folder, with the Explorer toolbars? Btw, are you updating TT_Lib, or installing fresh? You might have to manually remove TT_Lib2 before updating it.

Thanks Renderiza... I thought there was another tool - forgot about you I think yours will do what he wants... PS: I have adjusted your PluginStore listing's description text to include the words 'rename' and 'reorder', so a search for scene rename will find it

*Trans: I'm looking for a configurable plugin to import components following drop down menus. Does it exist or is it feasible? For example: Level 1: HOUSE 2nd level: drop-down menu: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom ... 3rd level: If selection room: bed, wardrobe ... Thank you in advance for your help:* It is feasible. I don't think it exists. You can of course save parts of your model as components, and nest those too. Wise use of folders within the Components folder would mimic the idea? [Trans: C'est faisable. Je ne pense pas qu'il existe. Vous pouvez bien sûr enregistrer les parties de votre modèle en tant que composants, et le nid ceux qui sont trop. L'utilisation rationnelle des dossiers au sein du dossier Components imiterait l'idée?]

Hi, My "lines2tubes" plugin should do it as well Here: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=226

wikii's combin gizmo has to be my favorite of any 3d modeling program - it's very clever - too bad no imperial

yep thats the One!!!! thank you all I'm Happy c
