I released an update, Keyframe Animation 1.6.1, which has a workaround for this problem. Now the tweens will be created, and you can save them anywhere on your hard drive, no matter what language you are using.

[Plugin] bim-tools is under development. BETA. But you can help in testing.

You can make that easily with the Marvelous Thomthom Guide Tools! Select all your lines : Guide Tools / CPoint (Construction Point) Edge-Edge so you have a CPoint at each intersection! Select your Component + All your lines ( you are not obliged to selected only CPoints ! ) Guid tools / Insert Components at Cpoints So you have your result! Select only Cpoint with the fabulous Selection Toys again by Thomthom: Kill them Of Course you will must Change orientation of your Components following general orientation of your lines ! Or in your case maybe use 4 differents components (or more)depending of the project Or rotate some of them after a general ThomThom Guide Tools use if you want just one component

@sdmitch said: To find the location of the highest and lowest points, you would need to look at every edge making up the terrain mesh. The only way to do this efficiently would be a plugin such as > def label_high_low > mod = Sketchup.active_model > ent = mod.active_entities > sel = mod.selection > hi_pt=nil;lo_pt=nil;hi=-1e9;lo=1e9 > hi_vec=[0,0,2400];lo_vec=[0,0,-2400] > grp=sel.first;#select the GE 3D terrain > grp.entities.each{|e| > if e.class==Sketchup;;Edge > (hi=e.start.position.z;hi_pt=e.start) if e.start.position.z>hi > (lo=e.start.position.z;lo_pt=e.end) if e.start.position.z<lo > (hi=e.end.position.z;hi_pt=e.end) if e.end.position.z>hi > (lo=e.end.position.z;lo_pt=e.end) if e.end.position.z<lo > end > } > ent.add_text(hi.to_s,hi_pt.position,hi_vec)#label the high point > ent.add_text(lo.to_s,lo_pt.position,lo_vec)#label the low point > end > This episode code is the right thing i'm looking for. It provides an addititonal option for Mesh2Heightmap. because the mesh2heightmap generate a greate heightmap but not provide the minimum and maximum elevation values without which i can not use this map to generate an accurate terrain.

Dear Tig: Yes, I really ask for Zorro+SectionCutFace within each group,now SectionCutFace can create independent group-face,and Explode its group to get the faces, really,no need group-face,only need face to inside of before group;so with the help of SolidSolver; Maybe you have a good idea,Tig,Can you help me? My English no good,but i love sketchup,and Love everybody in here. Thanks again!

Hi,gyanjin: your gif is line2group,I wish group2line and lines are groups,A kind of reverse engineering. thanks your support

@driven said: Hi how does it differ from drawing on a solid then push/pulling that shape to the other side, so that it becomes a hole? john By not having to do a pushpull as that would be done automatically.

u sir are a world class star like no other before or after... or simply thanks :0)

Subdivide, Subdivide-and-Smooth and Artisan are the ones that do what you want... Group just the faces needed to avoid edge smoothing or in Artisan you can 'exclude' certain edges etc...

It's quite possible... but before anyone jumps in to make it ... have you tried PushPull? Group your contours and add a large flat face for them to intersect with - adjusting their extents etc as needed. Now you can PushPull the face between the contours to the required level. Other matching contours can be 'matched' within PushPull by picking a point on a previously made one. If you know that your contours are at 5' intervals then PushPull one 5' and subsequently a PushPull with a double-click on a face will lift/drop that face by the last used amount, double-click again and the amount doubles, again and it trebles and so on... When done erase the side edges to remove the faces between contours... Sometimes a native technique can be as quick as using a custom tool...

You have to unhide a hidden line, but you can turn smoothed edges back into solid lines by painting them with the eraser while holding down Ctrl+Shift.

Take a look there. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15784#p122571

Very Good ThomThom! Edge Tools is exactly what I needed. It finally worked as expected after I sorted out the TT_Lib2 situation. That piece wasn't clear. Thanks again. Great community here. I'll try not to be too bothersome.

Hey! There you go Did not notice that plugin cause you have it on your blogg, Sdmitch. Sorry Indeed seams to be able to meet the requirements in this request.

Hello Ken, thank you for the review and "approval" of the new feature of the SuSolid plugin. And most of all, thanks for the great idea. Now I have updated the free version of the plugin on my site http://www.SuSolid.com How to use the new "Hide Solids" feature: 1.In "Settings" menu set the "Hide Solids" to "Yes". 2.Now when you click the "Analise" tool (or any solid repair tool) you will still see the magenta colored solids,but when exit the tool or re-click it,the solids will hide. 3.To unhide solids,just set the "Hide Solids" to "No" and the solids will unhide.

@tig said: It looks like you have a [hidden] file called ".rb" that is trying to add a menu item [unsuccessfully] ? Or perhaps " .rb" ? Can you look in the Plugins and Tools folders [showing hidden files] to see if there is one - if not it's plan B... Have you accidentally mis/renamed a file ? thanks, TIG. I did find a file named .rb that seems to be part of thomthom‘s UV Toolkit. I will PM him on this matter.

TIG - thanks for the thorough explanation. Still coming up against some problems with the next part of the scrip but will do some further reading when I get time to see where Im going wrong. Totally new to scripting so need to try to get my head round this a bit better. Cheers

it could scale Comp to the Face？

Yes! Thomas! This is what I want Your plugin save my time a lot. Thank you very much.
