I don't know if this will work for you, but its similar... Product Connect plugin, by igloo tudios May be it can help?

Gaieus - Yes it imports as a group of connected edges and could be draped on existing terrain but I was hoping to use the data to create terrain. Aerilius - Yes I tried most if not all of the Altitude options but none changed the Z output.

hi I use a modified version of create360veiw.rb http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=45473#p45473 I've modified it create 36 scenes plus 36 layers so you can then link up other stuff on layers. try it out, if it's basically useful and If you can't do the mods yourself, PM me and I'll send a copy of mine set for 64. I then export as animation to give me jpegs etc... but that might be a Mac thing. john

Thank you, Didier. Merci beaucoup. Regards, John

you have also this Shape Bender by Chris Fullmer Second part of the video can interest you [flash=480,390:13h1j78f]http://www.youtube.com/v/tGHTIOMm_34?fs=1[/flash:13h1j78f]

I made a fork and did an edit on the read-me a test as much as anything... john

Thanks thomthom, I'll give that a shot. -Brodie

If you set the component axis to the center of the square and run Chris' scale and rotate multiple script, it works fine for me. Scale and Rotate randomly about the Comp. Base. Or leave the axis on a corner and scale and rotate about Center works for me too.

@unknownuser said: TIG I my studies of Ruby for Sketchup, I have no problem with finding the context menu, it just seems to me there is always an "if then" statement, proceeding the menu add statement, and I don't see on this the other menus. There are some plugins that appear in more than one menu, and I usually turn off the context menu, and move the plugin to an other memu selection where I wish to have the plugin appear. However, I have not been able to master the coding to get rid of just a context menu with the "if selection is.....". Anyway, I will keep trying. Thank Ken You could write a intermediate method to do the check. If ok, it runs the plugin. If not valid, then it pop up an error message: def xLine_check_valid if xLine_validate_selection xLine else UI.messagebox "Invalid selection" end end if( not file_loaded?("xLine.rb") ) UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Convert lines to guide lines"){xLine_check_valid} end file_loaded("xLine.rb")

and the great autocad mirror comes to sketchup!!! whoa..yippee!!

am i doing something wrong, or is it not possible to open the "selection manager" dialog box on a mac osx machine?

What Thon is saying is that if you have difficulty with any plugin you post in the topic. Rather than creating a new topic. You've a better chance to get direct help from the developer.

Make a circle on the ground plane to use as a pathfor follow me, and a vertical circle to use as a profilefor the button: [image: ROfO_Capture.JPG] Draw a horizontal line just under the center of profilecircle, and erase the bottom arc. Scale the profileshape along the blue axis to get the cross section of a button. [image: OtFN_Capture2.JPG] Select the path, then click on the profilewith the follow me tool, like so: [image: 8cJF_Capture3.JPG] If you need a plugin for making the cushion, that's probably the Subdivide and Smooth (or Artisan) plugin...search the "Tutorials" forum for "sofa"...

did you make the monster head using only this ruby script? can you make a complete tutorial for that organic shape? FFD i only found it in 3ds max and you make for sketchup great plugins thanks

@tig said: @arthur87 said: @tig said: Search for my SectionCutFace ... section cut face doesn't work for vray for sketchup My SectionCutFace tool does work... BUT because you can't export the SKP's SectionPlanes to external renderers you can't see the cut's faces, since the rest of the model is then in the way ! [It works fine in a SKP render though!!] Is there a way I can use sectioncutface for vray? I don't want to use zorro since it will take a lot of time for pseudo destroying my model for this plugin.

Hi Keith, Don't use GetString just because Google's example scripts do. Do you know the purpose of GetString, how it works, or in which file it is defined? (it's in /Tools/langhandler.rb)

ok I've been going crazy without 1001 so I reinstalled everything. sketchup, 1001 all my other plugins... and it now works. so I guess we'll never know how I screwed it up. that is until I do it again. thanks for all the help though. and happy SketchUping.

Thomthom's Model Info gives you certain amount of info about your model but not sure if it lists per item. AdamB's Goldilocks v2 indicates hi-poly object based on view. So if you have a hi-poly cup 20' from view it'll indicate it. Fredo has a Triangle count tool but I forget the name. I don't think there's something that does exactly what you want. But I could be wrong....

Well if it doesn't work i'd suggest using Outliner. Simply double click your group in Outliner whilst Push/Pull tool is active. This will 'jump into the group and allow you to pull. Double click next group in Outliner. No need to exit each group and this method saves a few clicks until someone writes or finds push/pull groups plugin

You guys rock. Is there anything that hasn't been thought of for this program? Gotta love SketchUp!
