This helps me because I sometimes can't remember the name of a tool but I know who made it...

I think the issue is in the way a standard 'inputbox' handles the 'values'. The last value always has focus, unless there are 'lists' in the values, then the last value that has a list has focus - irrespective of where it is ! It's a limitation of the standard API interface. The 'Tab' will key step through the various values [and the two buttons] in turn starting at the first value, if that would be quicker than clicking the mouse in a dialog itself... If a list has focus then typing the first letter of the desired item [the list jumps to that item] and/or using the up/down 'Arrow-keys' to step through the list from the current item can be useful if the list is too long to be fully displayed on screen in one go !

Thanks for this excellent plugin! This is a real time saver for me. One suggestion for future improvement. When creating SGL Drawer, would it be possible to have additional layout (400, 400). This layout is sometimes used when having wastebasket in drawers.

If I did I totally would...

Cool Plugin! I 2nd the request for an SU plugin.

You can use several plugins for this. Here is one: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=122 then another one: http://www.smustard.com/script/DropGC or you can search for anything containing "drop" in the plugins index: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=250026

@gullfo said: Dome turned out to be a leftover from dome.rb versus the shapes.rb... Thanks. This helped a lot. I had the error for quite some time now. I took out the dome.rb from the plugin folder, restarted SU and the error was fixed.

Tig Thanks for the reply. The mesh was created by a company providing a 3d model of a site and context (similar to Zmap). I presume they don't use Sketchup to create it! I just used regular Drape in the end and painted each triangle individually. Thanks for looking anyway. Super Drape and regular drape do seem to be prone to crashing. I've sent a few models in the past to Google where the problem was apparent but they don't seem to have fixed it.

I have the pro so I don't really know what you're dealing with exactly. however to scale a profile you would edit it and save the new profile. or start with a new profile at the changed size or you could use the scaling tool within sketchup.

Holy crap! I did not even think of that location. Thanks a bunch! (And of course, to Alex for the plugin)

Rich, I appreciate your assistance. Have a great day. Ben

yeah sorry... I would like something that was able to cut up plots of land in to lots of certain sizes. like 1/4 acre or 1/2 acre lots out of a large parcel.

@tig said: So ensure it's in there and not in the Plugins folder on its own - when it'll try to autoload ! examplescripts.rb was also in the plugins folder Thank you, TIG.

the closest plugin to your search i have seen in this forum is http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=40569 i didn't try it Hope it helps

Yes this one is what I was looking for, thanks to all, and I just downloaded Layer manager too, and it's very good one, Thanks to all.

Zoom. v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = 3 level of zoom depth action, zoom select, zoom orbit and zoom window. (simple) It's a 1 or 2 or 3 level depth action (nice) Zoom + Tools next ver 2.0 zoomZoom = I add tools return obtions (zoomWindowSelectv1.0) + 5ea different tool returns, lots of toolbar buttons now (not as easy)now depth action of 4, also gave tips about the use of keyboards for other return tools it a 1, 2, 3 or 4 level depth action.(nice) Zoom + Tools + views + sytles + display boxes(API Sketchup.send_action tools) next ver 3.0 zoomView = I needed to get rid of usage of toolbar buttons so I pull back too one button, and a inputbox with one big zoomZoom drop down menu bar, default as zoomWindowSelectv1.0 with 12 other zoom zoom but it incease the work by couple of keyin. I needed to add views + sytles now to justify the keyins. also the API Sketchup.send_action tools had some input display boxs. Now menus.depth action is 7 but its not a 1-6 or 7 depth action friendly. (not good) I will fix this soon. I would say these are different tools, you can zoomWindowSelect on all 3 version but it not as nice as ver 1. but I must say v3.0 get rid of 2 standard toolbar views + sytles and it put the zoom togather on one menu inputbox and one button toolbar. Have some fixes coming to v3.0

Just to update, sdmitch revised the script a bit and it's working wonderfully for me now. -Brodie

Can also be written like so: m = materials['Door'] || materials.add('Door')

Bitmat to mesh by Thomthom ?
