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

@thomthom said: Never had to use a DB with SketchUp plugins, no. I started using the CSV database. topic can be closed

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 ?

update July 21, 2012 -fix the deletion of redo's -now have reout of defult number of undo's

So each point on subsequent profiles should be determined like the starting Z. mod = Sketchup.active_model ent = mod.entities sel = mod.selection p=[];z=5;y=0 for x in 0..10 p<<Geom;;Point3d.new(x,y,z) case rand(3) when 0; z -= 1 if z > 0 when 2; z += 1 if z < 10 end z=5 if x==9 end for y in 1..10 for i in 1..10 ent.add_line(p[i-1],p[i]) end for i in 0..10 p[i].y=y case rand(3) when 0; p[i].z -= 1 if p[i].z > 0 when 2; p[i].z += 1 if p[i].z < 10 end end p[10].z=p[0].z end

I have sent you, by PM, a possible help for orienting faces.

Thanks for your help!
