Cheers for the info, just found Grow.rb... looks the business!

Wow, I really digg the UV unwrap feature -- simple but powerful Best, Jason.

More serious use exemples to come asap.

@jim said: @jackhab said: Is there a plugin to view the undo history in a list? No there isn't, but it's a good thought. SketchUp's transactions are sequential - you couldn't Undo an action out of order, if that is what you have in mind. But it is possible to write an Undo List plugin which would work exactly like using the Undo/Redo buttons do already; except with a list. I'm OK with inability to undo out of order but I find myself clicking the menu instead of hitting Ctrl-Z just because I need to see what exactly I am about to undo. A simple list of actions would be great help.

After running a search on compatibility files I read one of the older threads, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17947&p=203864&hilit=Compatibility+files#p203864 that mentioned that the Smustard Organizer plugin caused errors similar to the ones I was having with LibFredo6 instead of the compatibility files system being the perpetrator. I tested this theory by changing the file extensions of Organizer.rb, SmustardOrganizerExcludeFolders.txt, and restarted SketchUp 3 times without an error message. It doesn't make sense that all the other plugins loaded without a problem. The last plugin I installed, LibFredo6 caused error messages, but first plugin installed, Organizer caused the problem. Another thing that doesn't make sense is the compatibility files system. When I deleted the organizerEdit.log from the virtualstore directory, the compatibility files button on the explorer window dissappered, but I didn't delete the defparms folder (contained no files) and the twilight folder (only contained the twilight license). Why would the compatbility files button dissapear even though not all of the content has been deleted?

Added current selection of components to all components in the model in this update along with an improved user interface.

i mean i just give few values and a basic shape and it shows me variations! similar to grasshopper

@thomthom said: If you should come across such a model again send it to me so I can inspect it. Something that cleanup tears apart? Sure. Doubtful that it will be anytime soon, as cleanup seems to be doing fine for the last few months. Once again, thanks for all the hard work, and generosity.

component comparison and matt666's component/groups plugin should do the trick without altering component axes. see my previous post on converting xfrog leaves: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=30143&hilit=component+comparison&start=15 @unknownuser said: the [xfrog] leaves are identical geometry - just a simple rectangle. at least with the models i have. i converted the leaves of a young birch to identical components with matt666's component/groups plugin: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=17590 it is quite slow, the plugin and the process - took me several hours: select 200-300 leaves at a time, select faces only with thomthom's selection tools, use matt666's plug to convert entities to components, and then run component comp to make them all the same. don't explode the leaf groups until you've converted them all to components, then it takes only seconds.

I'm with you Kris. Nothing say thank you like a gift at christmas..... Not easy to do though i wouldn't expect..... Good on you for threading this mate.

Are you using this link: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=13563 or this one: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13563 I believe the first link should work. The second is an old url we changed a year and a half ago. Still points to the same post just it shows as if you were not logged in. If using the first link and still having issues, delete all sketchucation related cookies from your browser (hopefully you are not using IE as it is a pain there).

thank you. i've been using this for a couple years now.

I tried with a much simpler terrain and it works perfectly. Something must be wrong with my terrain. Thanks for all. Weather: Jingle bells, jingle bells... what a christmas mood. Bonnes fêtes

@tig said: A simple 90 re-rotation fixes it if it's a horizontal alignment of 'grain' Even that set would not be so likely needed as the user would understand - pick the opposite edge for the align!

Answered my own question. When drawing the lines I was in plan view which made my picks come from the top of the existing walls. So I ended up using a negative value for the wall height, which worked fine to create the wall, but apparently it screws up the opening operation. Thanks, Rick

Yea - and the ToolObserver doesn't give the name of the Ruby tool in use. (AFAIK) I think most plugins doesn't use a tool - which is why I think you have to hook into the menu and toolbar commands. (I could be wrong. Maybe there is a way...)

Thank you I appreciate the response guys, both were very helpful. Cheers!
