There is Grid2, by sepo, found in the Plugins Index, the red button at the top of this page. There is Grid at Ruby Library Depot, an excellent site, maintained by Didier Bur. Did not see one at Smustard.

@gaieus said: Change it to something high indeed but also press the check button. I think that will trigger the next update. so far so good, it works. THanks

Exactly. Good input If the framer you hire cannot do that with his old trusted framing square then you should not have him on the job. Unless you are acting as an architect specifying a design vs a function will possibly give you a chance to learn the world of change orders.

Thank You Krisidious. That's the one I will get.

@snowdogg said: Its not mine but I came across it. Who knows, it may already be on this forum? http://www.guitar-list.com/download-software/convert-sketchup-skp-files-dxf-or-stl One thing I forgot to add, you have to type in the extension when you save the file you are exporting, otherwise it'll just become a generic file. So this means, filename.DXF

Thank you Gulcan, that looks very neat!!! Kind of smart drop on steroids!!

Found it, in a plugins folder, but not the same one I was looking in, this folder had a few folders 6 or so, and a few rb. files, may have been the auto load folder you mentioned. At any rate it is gone. Thanks for your help!

It works fine. Thank you Didier. Edit: same issue with lines to tubes.

Jeff im not using a Mac so cheetah 3D is out of the question, but cheers anyways

Er,I searched the google sketchup API, and maybe there's no such API to do this work? So it's no use to write such a plugin like this using Ruby. I think it may be in the SelectionObserver class or camera class, and I don't find one... Dear Thomthom, Am I get the point?

Please read: 5 tips about running more than one sketchup http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=40254 Tip 1,5 & 2 may help Load scripts with ruby toolbar or autoload When you want to clear out loaded plugins script by starting another sketchup, select all, copy and paste in place to newly loaded sketchup then exit out the old tip 1) You can run more than one sketchup programs at the same time. Just hit your shortcut key twice and find out.

Interesting. Sorry it didn't work for you. Perhaps another Mac user will provide a clue as to why this is happening.

thank you for this one. i've downloaded it and used it few days ago. i've been using SU2KT 3.16 since the first time i used Kerkythea. if only i didn't see the post in this forum i might end up still using the 3.16 for months once again, thank you.

I tend to not save shadow settings with my "camera" scenes. So when I got from scene to scene, it leaves the shadows how I have them set at that moment. Then I have a couple of scenes that just change the shadow settings, but not camera locations. So I can go from scene in whatever shadow mode I have set. And just click a "Shadow" scene to change from morning sun to afternoon sun, to no sun, etc. And its easy to change the settings on multiple scenes at a time. Use the scene manager and select multiple scenes using the shift or ctrl key. Then deslect the shadowsetting and it will deselect it on all selected scenes. Or if you want to just change the current shadows setting on all scenes, then adjust the shadows how you want it, then select all desired scenes, and click update and in the pop up window, select ONLY shadow settings and it will update just the shadows settings of all selected scenes. Scenes are incredibly useful for model management like this. I could do a quick video if my explanation was confusing. Chris

Nope. Still having this problem. Maybe it's a glitch in my vcard driver or something. Just odd that it is not apparent with any other tool bar.

There's usually a 'Java' Control Panel with the rest of them...

You mean you've downloaded the latest version: Sutool 2012?! I searched the sketchupbbs.com and didn't find instructions about installing on mac...perhaps they didn't make the Macintosh version... Btw I don't use the Sutool, search plugins in this forum, I think it's enough~

Yes, I think zorro2 would be the ideal candidate. Make a simply cube (starting with the rectangle tool) in your model so that you can align the section tool precisely to the faces (i.e. axes) then move it to the perimeters of you tin, right click > slice model at section. Repeat it from all 4 sides.

@solo said: However if I'm correct in thinking that SU2Vue is a 3rd party plugin and not an e-on product, so they will not have it supported/upgradable from your profile page but rather on Cornucopia like all 3rd party content. Send an email to Dave (friendly chap) and he will have you sorted out quick. Dave kindly sent me an email with the update. Very nice of him and I appreciate it. I had also sent requests to Cornucopia to no avail (note the request back in 2010 for version 1.1). It also does not appear on my Cornucopia purchased list or on my e-on purchased list.

See how 'heighttool' [?] sets its 'string' and replace the .add_text() in the other file with the 2dtext code using the height 'string' ? Can you explain how you see this being used ... I'm guessing you want 'flat' 2dtext height-tags rather than 'Text'?
