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!

Around line #302 is the text end#def Volume::process place you additional code on its own line, just before that - vol.erase! etc to remove the vol-group etc...

Mitcorb, thanks mate. Got it! Have transferred post. Cheers....Scotty

Maybeis to late, but, perhaps still work for you http://www.imsidesign.com/Products/CADCompanionProducts/pdf2cad/tabid/1722/Default.aspx?cid=422390

Awesome. That worked.

@tomot said: @edson said: tom, I found out what appears to be an odd behavior in your plugin: the louver tool and the mullion tool generate doors without frames! is that on purpose or my copy is not working properly? I am on mac. I find it very strange in comparison with your own Bifold Tools which generates complete doors with frames. Sorry for the very late reply,...its by design, for example if you don't like the bifold door panels you can delete them and replace them with actual louvers, from window tools, or use a pic that represents louvers. the same is true with my cabinet tool, if you don't like the panel effect you can replace the panels with louvers from window tools, as illustrated in the attached pic. thanks for the explanation.

Hi I have an thought. by expanding yout process to include all these steps may help Make 10 to 12 double group models Use section tool to work into each outside group with group edit, copy paste one, section .to ea group model. Compometize inside group for later editing. Use 5 different skp files to work ea scene way you want them. Open another sketckup (6ea maybe ok) you cut and paste too and from.(child and parent) Use layer tool in parent Use scene tool in parent Right click for context menu or double click all sections, to get action cuts. (your work out right) Now play your scene. [image: jR7s_pic_0016.jpg] The best way: is to double click on ea sections for action cuts. done.

OMG It's exactly what I need.. Thanks

Chri's suggestions are sound, but it doesn't get over the 'labeling' issue... If you give the components names relating to part-refs then when you manually add a Text object pointing to one of them then by default it should show its name as the initial text-string ? It would be possible to code something to add text at every instance with its definition name etc, but try it manually first off...

If you want that someone makes a plugin for you post a file SKP (save as V6) with also an image before / after for avoid missunderstood problem Maybe your problem is trivial for a ruby coder, maybe not And this must work for any number of components ?

Hi. Your post reminded me of a similar question I was going to ask here a while ago, but I never got around to asking. Today I went looking for and found the Plugin that I was going to ask about, thanks to your post... Component Spray: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=33908 I know I used it to make a model that needed evenly spaced columns arrayed along a path... but I'm not sure if it was an easy workflow... If you go to this page, down to plot-paris's post with the image showing column placement you can see what I mean: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11746 Hope this of some use... good luck.

Yea, the toolbar settings are complicated. They have a weird relationship of multiple values so it's not as easy as just finding one setting for one toolbar.

yes Like this : of course objects can be anything, points, curves, surfaces, volumes... So here following the options Box + Cylinder are selected, or just the Cylinder [image: kMEz_more_clear.jpg]

You haven't unpacked LibFredo correctly, it's the LIBFREDO6_Dir_xx that you should have in the plugins folder. To aid in installing plugins correctly, even those from zip packages, have a look at this utility: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=42315

Good notes. I usually try to keep them collapsed, but this still happens, so I guess keeping them closed altogether (except maybe "Entities") would be better, with shortcuts (then the wishlist item for more shortcut modifier keys comes to mind). plugin icons-- Never have a good solution, especially since many (like perpendicular face ) open when I have closed them in previous sessions (yes I've seen a code fix for some of them). I just close them each time unless I think I'll be using one. Wish the Apple toolbar was more useful (more compact and having multiple lines). But that's how it is. Thanks for the replies.
