    We don't currently put any time into testing every plugin released though. It would in theory add quite a bit of extra time to our moderator duties.

    Tip_dj no. 13 The outliner isolation: Make all connected to a group, then enter the group edit mode and make sub isolated groups. Open outliner and dragged your isolated selected groups to above top untitled area to Isolate Selection and when done editing drag back or explode if need. "EarthMover" - dukejazz "Isolate Selection" - Yes (Tip_dj) "Looking for a plugin that" - No, not a plugins sorry "will isolate whatever is selected in an isolation" - Yes "mode and conversely exit out" - Yes "isolation and bring back all of the non isolated items."- Yes "If possible, when exiting isolation mode, the tool will not affect any previously hidden geometry (geometry hidden prior to enter isolation mode)"- Yes "I think currently there are a few option to hide unselected" - Yes hide by context hide ", but to revert requires" - Yes select hidden by context _ unhide one to unhide all"- Yes select all and hide by context hide || unhide Results: "probably be quicker than via a script-TIG" My point, the outliner is very good tool to have open and to use.-dj

    My 2 cents about exporting: Export as texturized single3ds object. Then in Max run 'detach by material' (found at scriptspot). Believe me it's a completely different world- blazing speed! BTW there's also 'attach by material' script (caution: memory hungry). Hope it helps.

    @driven said: not so much a quick, but how Su specifies the Nib files for all the sub-windows the majority are NSPanels that have been left as 'click thru' so that they 'don't' take 'focus' when clicked. To be honest, I understand almost none of that but the 'quirk' as best as I can explain it is under the circumstances I described, the focus doesn't 'click thru' to anything. It is as if the programmers are relying on a click in some window to set the focus explicitly when the app becomes frontmost, but did not consider that there is no click involved when a tool is selected via a keyboard shortcut. So in this case nothing 'takes' the focus, & the toolbar & pointer in the drawing window aren't updated properly. Does that make any sense?

    It does appear as a submenu under the Draw menu. It is compatible with PC/MAC Free/Pro and versions 7/8... So this looks like you have mis-installed it... I see you are on a MAC. What 'plugins' folder did you place the .rb file into ? It should have been the Macintosh HD/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/plugins folder... Also ensure you have FULL read/write permissions for that folder. Perhaps you need to do a little reading on MAC-specific issues with plugin installation ? Why not get Thomthom's 'Simple Plugins Installer' from the SCF Plugins Index linked in the menu above... Once this has been installed it adds a toolset to the Plugins menu that automatically installs tools in their four main forms as either an RB or RBS file & extracted file-sets from RBZ or ZIP archives... It ensure the correct files are put into the correct folders, avoiding any user generated issues...

    The regular rectangle tool draws on axis only. Rotated rectangle can draw off axis.

    Feel your pain. Unlike the above post, I don't move what I would call orphan files, I change the file type from .rb or what ever is the orphan's file name extension to .ken. This way I can sort of file types and see all the files that I have some concerns. I also do this with folders, adding the ken to the front of the folder's names. If a problem occurs, I look at the missing file if it gives an unable to load error, and I can quickly fine the folder or file. Onto a related but other subject, I would gladly contribute to a large fund, to have the ruby gurus, look at each and every plugin, and make the following suggestions. To the author of the plugin, how to make his plugin error free, if that is possible. Plugins that have been modified and have been given the "star of approval' to be listed in plugin in master error free list. 2.If the author doesn't have the time of maybe not the knowledge, and the plugin is worthy, have one of the gurus complete the task if that is OK with the author. The guru would be paid of course. A plugin in naming systems that gives you some kind of hint which plugin is involved when you look at the plugin in the drop down or context menus. So when you invoked a plugin and it fails, you have some idea which plugin in involved in the plugin directory. And the last, some time ago I started a database that listed each plugin that I had on my computer, and tied context names to the plugin. Such as, if the plugin was to divided, I would list the plugin, and add the context words, divide, split, cut and so on. That way I could fire up the database, and search on the function I wanted, and the database would give me my choices. Sorry to drift off subject. Ken, thanks for you forbearance.

    How is "stray edges" different than what you need? That is my favorite fo what you've described. Some tools do a good job of auto extruding edges, those can be super useful. But for just finding those edges, stray edges is awesome! Chris
