I've found RDoc to be awkward to use. Instead I now use YARD: http://yardoc.org/ So far I've only used it with TT_Lib2: http://www.thomthom.net/software/sketchup/tt_lib2/doc/TT.html

there's another way....i found out...use the follow me within profile builder if you're using preloaded crossections....

@edson said: @tig said: The v6 new Import methods could also mean that in the future importing DWG/DXFs is easier, more reliable and works on Macs - BUT that's NOT in this release - watch this space... Xref Manager is long overdue an update BUT the list IS looooong........

Fredo, Thanks for the heads up on the ones in your collection. Inside the Joint Push Pull folder I found the line to modify so that one is working again also. On my Mac have never been able to set shortcuts for toolbars inside SU. I usually work with only one row of toolbars down side and toggle on and off as needed. I assume the problem began when I installed Snow Leopard as was problem free in this regards beforehand. Many thanks for your tools.

Thanks for this thorough explanation!

Guess go by the user's view angle to find the top left? I dunno. @rocorona said: Absolutely correct, TT. Anyway, it is also true that texture placement is mostly done in a inaccurate way. Is there a chance to have some numeric input, for scaling/skewing/rotating textures? Yup, would be nice. Something like an entity box, with automatic application. (without having to press <enter>)

Hi Chris Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. Once again this forum has helped me out! I'm trying to make a wall tool, and have an idea that this will be very usefull. -Rasmus

@thomthom said: @fuzzion said: -A mesh poly increaser But this is what Subdivide Selection does... Something like TGI upsample tool But its okay, I own TGI3d toolset as well

@imaxx said: Hi Thom, Can be can help me! I have a quantity of similar figures (absolutely identical), it is necessary to transform them to the same amount of a unique component. That is, Conversion of similar figures as copies of a unique component. Thank you! Not sure if I fully understand the question, but maybe this is what you're looking for? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30143&p=264517

Thanks.

@anthonyp said: Sorry, I haven't explained well my request: The script have to colour (assign a red-yellow material) to the faces that where created-erased in the comparation from ante and post operam. The coloured parts (naturally divided by colour) are grouped and moved on their respective layer. This group include the face and his edges. Thank you for your interest! OK... BUT how is the tool going to know what are the parts to be NEWW or DEMO ?? Are they somehow differentiated in the importing ? If so we can use that to change color/layer etc... If not it might be complex to work out what's been added and what's been removed...

Hi, Below is an example of one of my extensions: require 'extensions.rb' require 'LangHandler.rb' # Extension Manager $uStrings = LanguageHandler.new("Layer Manager") Layer_Manager_Extension = SketchupExtension.new("Layer Manager", "Layer Manager/fr_layer_manager_v5.rb") Layer_Manager_Extension.description="Plugin description goes here") Layer_Manager_Extension.name= "Layer Manager" Layer_Manager_Extension.creator = "Didier Bur" Layer_Manager_Extension.copyright = "11.2005, CRAI - Didier Bur" Layer_Manager_Extension.version = "1.0 for SU v5" Sketchup.register_extension Layer_Manager_Extension, true

@gaieus said: It depends which plugin you installed. The plugin tab is only there when there is a plugin that registers itself under that menu. Most of them do but others may go to anywhere (even in the context menu). So which plugin was it? If you go to SketchUp > Preferences > Extensions and activate ruby script examples and / or utilities, some default plugins get activated and your plugin menu appears. In any case, after installing or activating a plugin needs a restart of SU). Gaieus, it was one of thomthom's plugins, Material Replacer (1.1.0) — 12 January 2010. I followed your instructions on to activate the ruby scripts and the plugin tab is now there. I had several plugins in sketchup7, but right now there is only a "cost" plugin. I still don't see the material changer plugin, maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Thanks for your help Paul

You can already do this in a line using the existing Move-Tool +Ctrl for 'copy', pick or type offset, and then immediately type x6 to make six copies at the spacing of the first or /6 to make six copies fitting within the over all distance you picked. Similarly for a radial array use Rotate+Ctrl and a picked or typed angle with x6 to repeat six copies each with that angle or /6 to fit six copies within that over all angle... There are tools like Component-Stringer that will distribute copies along paths etc if you want more complex alignments or scaling as you go for example...

Thanks Dave R. I downloaded and actually everything seems to work fine.

Thanks

Welcome, Iain! @iain said: ... i get an error that the STL is not a solid (is this beacuse I have surfaces inside the STL?) Yes, that's correct. Use this excellent plugin to quickly highlight the problems: Thomthom's Solid Inspector

Headroom Here is an updated version with complementary traces Just drop the two attached files into ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22. Thanks to post back the trace file Fredo Note: please do NOT install these files if you are not concerned by slow perfromance on Mac To drop into subfolder ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22 To drop into subfolder ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22

Hi, No need to convert it to CSV. Here is what Autode$k says about ptsb format: @unknownuser said: Pointcount X Y Z Intensity R G B (Intensity is a float value 0-1) Example: 2 0 0 0 .5 128 128 128 1 1 0 .5 128 128 128 Quite simple isn't it So open your file in a text editor, erase first line (number of points), save it to 'somefilename.txt' and it should work. Just set the points cloud reader first dialog to use a space delimiter, and second dialog to set X,Y,and Z coordinates as the first, second and third datum of each line (see below). I've tried this example and it works. [image: qLov_cloud1.jpg] [image: mITv_cloud2.jpg] Regards,
