Show us the error dialog. As a guess... You probably don't have sufficient access rights to the Sketchup 'plugins' folder. Ensure that these are FULL [read/write], then retry installing the RBZ file through the Preferences > Extensions > Installer button, or use thomthom's API equivalent 'Simple-Plugins-Installer'... Note that on a MAC the correct plugins folder is the one in the Lib of the root HD - NOT the 'user' equivalent [assuming you let SketchUp install itself in the default folders and didn't mess with it during the app's installation etc]...

@chris fullmer said: Nestednode, how do you orbit around in the model? Do you click on the orbit icon, or do you have a shortcut key to the orbit tool, or do you use some other technique? Just curious, thanks, Like, middle mouse button (scroll wheel) - which IMO is the fastest way to orbit.

Hello¨ First of all, great work! Second, am I the only one getting trouble installing all the SCF bars(power bar, architect, draw tool, selective etc)? They all have their icons in a folder called CD_ICONS, so loading them all in the plugins folder made them overwrite each other. In the end I had to change each folder to CD_ICON1, CD_ICON2, and then change the routing in the orignial rb. file. Am I the only one experiencing this? Third: All my plugin toolbars load at startup except the different SCFs. I have tried twenty times to place them and save the template, but it doesnt work When I manually toggle them on, theyre in the right place, so I guess the template is saved, but the toolbars wont show up without manually enabling them. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Pilou I already tried something similar with JPP and greeble, it doesn't quite come out as expected if your mesh isn't exactly right...mixture of tris/quads not very nice. What if you want a different shape too? I used sculpt tool on an offset grid with artisan and got some crazy results I didn't expect!!

Good spot. Thanks it is sorted now. Ross

i think the best is http://www.smustard.com/script/FlightPath2 for only 7$

It's save a lots of time. Thank you so much.

U can use a program to monitor your CPU and see if ur overheating it. every CPU is different just look on the net for the right one to compare. I used coretemp and speedfan to check my CPU as i was afraid i was overheating my pc. I'm not a computer expert so i can't really help u more with this.

Nice aircraft !

This is exactly what I was telling you in your other post and in response to your private message. I wonder how many times you have to read the same things before you'll get on with it.

Chris, Thank you for your link and script. I gave it a try and it worked well. Thank you!

good

Thanks for the advice, Dale. What a treat! In regards to the flatten technique, I gathered something like this was happening from my attempts. However within the terrain itself there may..... Excellent! I see that the way might be to use the select tool to designate the area, then one can start from a "sample" face on the side and move, with the mouse button down, to the area needing work. Can't wait to try these ideas out! Thanks!

I don't know of any script like this, but it would be a good one for someone looking to get into ruby

Maybe this one could help? Never tried it though, so I don't know if it does exactly what you want.

Update in first post...

I'm looking for a plugin that creates a new layer for each object in the scene or in the selection, either component or group, without considering subgroups. Has anyone done something like this?

@pedromollansaito said: hi TIG, i have face2group. it does a group for each face not a group for each cluster (three clicks selection of entities) It has several options ? F2G: by Any Edge: Creates a single group for each face selected F2G: by Hard Edge: Creates a single group for each collection of faces defined by a hard edged outer loop F2G: by Hard + Hard Hidden: Creates a single group for collection of faces defined by either a hard edged outer loop or a hard hidden edged outer loop
