yeah WorkPlane seem to be good in this case, it helps me make a fast plane. you're so enthusiasm, thanks all

TT: used your scripts and all now seems to be okay. It was nothing obvious but seems to have been a script left over from my 3D mouse: it kept looking for a central rotation point. It kept repeating it over and over in the ruby console. Many thanks - sure hope that problem is really gone. Been staying steady at 451/1000.

Thank you a lot, Chris. Worked perfectly. All my cameras (actually, scenes as you pointed out) are perspective ones, so I received no warnings. No worries about not being able to undo... I save a new file version several times a day.

that's the one - thanks

Version 3 will have a new UI with better explanations of the different options. (No estimate on when it's done though.)

Thanks

Good info. Will go into my ragged and tattered mental notebook

Wow, Fredo, what a complete service!

SU Blog has a post about it here: http://sketchupdate.blogspot.com/2010/05/having-spent-last-three-hours-fiddling.html I have also attached the compiled settings someone put together. Hope this helps. [image: qQKq_Fur-ReferenceSettings.jpg]

Good quality comes with long render times, and there is nothing you can do about it in any program you use. I would suggest you to convert the avi file to a different format to compres it, like MPEG-4 to get the best quality with the lowest bitrate. Just google for "avi to MPEG-4 converter" and you should get loads of options. Experiment what quality you can get under those 5mb. Also I would suggest you to do some reading about this topic to better understand how all of it works to get the best results.

I don't think it has been exposed in the Ruby API; so no.

Maybe ChrisP_ColorEdge plugin could be helpful too here

It is a very old script that could use to be updated. Makig it undo everything in one ctrl-z would be really easy to do.

What's wrong with a keyboard shortcut? I honestly think you're trying to make this harder than it needs to be.

The result is perfect! I've quickly used "make faces" and pushpull and the result looks like that: (of course many lines (doors, fonts,...) need to be corrected but that is easy with that result.) [image: u12a_trace-Loft-1.jpg]

Windows has done that since XP. Zip files act as regular folders. To zip a file (or files) you just select them, right-click, Send To > Compressed (Zipped) Archive

@tig said: Here's v1.1 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=287140#p287140 It fixes a rare potential 'PI' glitch if you don't have certain other scripts installed... Thanks!

@unknownuser said: A4chitect has this http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=17040 I haven't tried it though as I don't see the need. Let us know if it's any good? this scales the group no puss/pull or are i doing somthing wrong

I have SketchUp set up to Warn of Style Changes.

@diego-rodriguez said: I do not know if Fred and tig are aware of the improper use of the plugins I was not aware. But as I don't understand Dutch, it is not clear to me whether JPP is part of the VMV delivery, or just there as an example of the toolbar customization. If someone from Holland can translate, this would help. Fredo
