@greatoe said: Can I draw a conclusion that to make two parallel arcs, I can only do it manually, either draw the two arcs one by one with the build-in arc command or use the scripts with fillet tool to form the arcs one by one? Yes.

I cannot find the way to set Morisdov's ProperAnimation parameters from an external script ! I think there was at least one parameter that was mentionned in the forum but I can't seem to locate it again... Any help ? EDIT: ahem, I HAD to ask to find it ^^ Morisdov.transf_get("transf") PS: this thread is so close to this one that it would seem natural to move it there...

thank you, but this are trial 30 days. exist a total free? trial exist lightup.. and others..

You rocks one more time! Many thanks!

The algorythm in your posted .doc file looks sound - it's just that you need to create a PolygonMesh from scratch - not via a Face.

Esteemed Mr. Hammond, thank you very much for the keycodes! They did the trick. I tried downloading the RubyLibraryDepot version of the script, but it was the same as the version I had, and I couldn't get it to work, even with a selection. The keycodes work like a charm however. Thank you, this is supremely useful. I managed to deactivate the mouseover-selection and random rotate on left-click, so I can now evoke the plugin after simply selecting an object. It's safer for presentation purposes, than being afraid, I might hover over the wrong set element and have to do a million undos to rotate all my furniture back. I also set the standard rotation value to 15 degrees, and for a slow, smooth turntable-rotation i can change the manual value to 1, and this way I have a near ideal and stupefyingly simple solution for showcasing any set with a revolve. SketchUp just got better again, and I have you guys to thank. Guys & Dolls in NY ... yeah, I wish that were mine. Ours is in Vienna. Incidentally, they both premiered on the same day. Bway's Guys and Dolls already closed, ours is in repertory and will hopefully get revived every year until I'm old and grey. I was certainly going for a classic Broadway type set visual. But I could never do a commission there. That union is almost impossible to get into, even for Americans. Thank you all for your generosity. All the best, SAM.

This may not have been such a good idea for a plugin. For one, the messagebox keeps popping up as if onNewmodel is being called multiple times. I've removed the download for now.

Yes, I mean Cpoints Seasdes

here's a project for those with nothing else to do: Make multiple instances of the same emoticons move out of sync. I've got no clue.

got it - it's sketchy physics. specifically sketchyphysics.rb

Hmm dunno. I'm not too sure.... http://sketchuppluginreviews.com/2010/05/17/lattice-maker-google-sketchup-plugin-review/

So... if we can trust the x/y/z data in the file we import then... It's easy to spit into 'sets' of cpoints as they come in. The very first z is a 'top' and every line of text after that with a lower z is in the same set. We will eventually draw lines from one to the next If a z is more that it's predecessor then a new set is started. We repeat adding cpoints until the next set starts etc. As we go we keep a list of the these cpoint sets. Now we draw the lines... The 'vertical' ones are easy as we simply go through the sets of cpoints and for each list of cpoints we add_line from pt[0],pt[1] then pt[1],pt[2] etc. To add 'cross' members between pairs of nodes in adjacent sets we iterate a set and the next one to it using add_line set[0]pt[0],set[1]pt[0] then set[0]pt[1],set[1]pt[1] etc. Now we have a 'grid' of lines between the corresponding sets of cpoints in the file. If 'diagonals' are needed to triangulate the 'rectangles' then it's done as above but add_line steps up/down one item for the next set thus set[0]pt[0],set[1]pt[1]... If faces are needed then again these could be added instead of unfaced edges by finding the appropriate three pints in the sets/points and add_face(p0,p1,p2)[ruby] There's also the clever http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/entities.html#fill_from_mesh that might be useful in some circumstances...

Ah, okay, the blanks in my memory are now filled in. Thanks for the help, Jeff and Rclub! I'll try out the Round Corner plugin, and maybe Subdivide n Smooth later, if I can't get what I want out of Fredo's plugin.

Fletch just posted this video link at Twilight Render Forum about a creator of kinetic sculptures. It remids me of this zonohedron structure. Really amazing work the guy is showing there, its a must watch. http://twilightrender.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1164 it's the last post on page one. Or you'll find it at youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dehXioMIKg0

I am looking at this bug now. It doesn't seem to happen under Win. Can anyone confirm if it is a Mac only bug or not? Thanks Chris

Whaat's BoolTools is inexpensive and an excellent alternative http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=15134 Or this free version that's still in Beta... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=14773&hilit=Boolean

I have never had a problem installing rubies on my mac. That said I don't install every ruby that comes along.
