@tspco said: Thanks Tig but I need to ask about SOP, in my world that is "Standard Operating Procedure". Probably not the same definition in this context. In the UK it's the Setting Out Point...

I imagine that the plugin would determine the normal to the projected texture, from which one could construct the plane.

@gaieus said: Jim's custom toolbar plugin has such a button. [attachment=0:381h7ksq]<!-- ia0 -->CustomToolbar.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:381h7ksq] The one right to it will toggle endpoints - also a good thing when trouble shooting or connecting mesh. thank you yes, i realized it later, and that i could do it myself... As an alternative to buttons, i like to use keyboard shortcuts; so i slightly modified Jim's plugin to assign a key to it Here is the code, without any garantee; it works with me, but i only copied and pasted, cannot explain what i did in detail ... require 'sketchup.rb' # Add a menu item to launch our plugin. UI.menu("PlugIns").add_item("colored_edges") { colored_edges } # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- def colored_edges mod = Sketchup.active_model # Open model ent = mod.entities # All entities in model sel = mod.selection # Current selection ro = Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options ecm = ro["EdgeColorMode"] if ecm != 2 ecm = 2 Sketchup.set_status_text "Egde Color Mode; by Axis" else ecm = 1 Sketchup.set_status_text "Egde Color Mode; Default" end ro["EdgeColorMode"] = ecm end def axisedge_validation_proc if Sketchup.active_model.rendering_options["EdgeColorMode"] == 2 return MF_CHECKED else return MF_UNCHECKED end end

I wanner modify some parts on the corner, to make more or less openings.It's difficult to do with SU default tools. I suggest you try without the auto-slicer (key F4), as your shape seems already divided into small pieces. Then Bend will not add more geometry. Fredo It's not working with F4, because it won't bend.

Hi, TIG you're right. I updated the latest version (with toolbar) and also made the french version. Regards,

Hi Tig, works a treat : )...no more having to wait for a report to generate. I am forever in your debt, if you ever need any modelling or rendering done, send me a message. cheers

Thank you both for your input. The Projections plug-in is still screwy, but I am using Fredo's and it works fine. Again, Thanks for helping. Jim

I found it. it is a screw http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=357 (with spin) plugin solved

Thank you, dozr. I somehow missed that one in the list. Shows me what I get for relying on the search function and Control+F. Going to give that a try right now. Cathryn

Thanks TIG

I got it now ! and the toolbar works really fine - nice tool !

Hey, I've just wanted to say thanks for all your answers here! I'm working with CE3 too, and your code is really helpful to me.

Hi Stick Thank you for the info and opinion. Honestly I don't pay much attention to that. Really sorry for that. Another thing, actually I do respect (and probably a fan of the Germans). In most football World Cup series, I've always been their supporter and fans. Always been "Der Panzer" fan. Note that (put aside the one I mentioned) they were good even if they're facing almost all other Europeans at the same time. Not to mention the US, Canada, etc. I might be a fan for the British in most field, but for certain, like any other people here in this country who knows the history - we like the Germans for their characters, discipline, science, technologies, etc. Most of the British that I like are from the cultural elements. Political ideology mostly in histories are temporary. But the main nation character may stand longer. The forum is about SketchUp. Let's put this ideo political aside for good. Cheers. PS: I do think most northern Europeans are Germans though. Including British, Celtics, etc. Have a good time.

I have been having a blast with the EagleUp plug-in. I draw the circuit with EagleCad, export with EagleUp to Sketchup, Add any components that don't show up and then Render to POV-Ray using SU2POV plug-in. I am getting some really nice finished products in my opinion. Here are a few of my renderings: [image: JamAlongAmp-1.jpg] [image: MP3AMP.jpg] [image: JamAlongAmpwenclosure.jpg] [image: rendered-1.jpg] [image: MKProST.jpg]

Hi, @unknownuser said: Does the surface have to be a group or individual faces? You can select individual faces in the model space or individual faces in the context of a group (but not the entire group itself) Please post here what the Ruby console says when using the tool. Regards,

In fact it's appear that the internal first curve is also possible with a simple nurb Just click middle of segment A, click Apex AB, Click middle of segment B, click Apex BC etc... Maybe special Bezier curve of Fredo6 can be near the solution

Thanks for the info Pixero, really well written. Gave me all the info i needed.

Not to mention FrontFace by Tomasz Marek, which is my favorite ! Here: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=154

I'll take it back out and see if the plugin disappears from the drop down.. it's that sync faces command that I was having a hard time not having available thanks for all the suggestions.. -goes plugin browsing again-

@guntis.rat said: did this ever got resolved? Apparently not, at least as far as the free version of Sketchup is concerned. The Reset Scale option is available in the context menu if only one component is selected. You are welcome to try my plugin, Scale Reset, which seems to have been the solution for the problem liquid98 had.
