Encrypting a .rb file into a .rbs won't make a noticeable speed increase - it is simply away of protecting your algorithms etc. If you want a significant speed increase you need to go to the SDK and that means C++ etc...

Tig, and Jim, Thanks for the tips, good to know. Funny thing with one of my menus, because one selection is a little bigger then the rest, I am able to get 2 1/2 columns too:-)

Hi Thomthom, Tank you for your reply.

Has anyone played with this Google Su Web viewer? Will/does the SUcation forum support showing this in a post? Go Here and open download for example. You may have to refresh your display to get the download panel.

@Regular Polygon: Thank you for your efforts. These rubies you have done will be very useful.

if you don't make a rotation and shadows, maybe you can make a move a long a perpendical path to the observer Result will be the same Else I don't believe you can animate the "size" between 2 scenes Object will make first the move from scene 1 to scene 2 (movment of the same apparent new position resized) then make the "size" so that is hurting I am curious of the Jeff operation

@unknownuser said: or also why not : always right or left at each fork! i could see that working out in certain cases but it could also lead to bad selections.. i dunno, i think the key would be making it very quick to call up.. ie- no dialog boxes etc.. maybe a settings dialog or something if deemed necessary.. standard select is spacebar and i'd try to set this one to shift-spacebar.. i'm pretty sure i, and a lot of other people, would use it quite a bit..

Seems Grow by Tig make that Grow V2.1 And Component Stringer make a sort of along a path

@unknownuser said: For the still-ruby-challenged,... Start with Chapter 11 and continue through Chapter 17. You'll become Ruby-literate. It's not hard. @unknownuser said: what about using q to do rotations in an arbitrary direction not defined by the planes? All my rotate stuff allows you to specify a plane ('rg', 'rb' or 'gb') or an axis. See my Leaning Tower of Pisa in the doc. @unknownuser said: I've got an existing model with several groups that need to move around in a related, but not quite identical, way. That's where ruby literacy has to come in. Alternatively, some brilliant insight that shows me how to create a generic solution to things that move in a related but non-identical way. Brilliant insights are always welcome. Martin

Thanks, Jeff...that's perfect. It is exactly what I need as a starting point. Appreciate your help...Regards...Bob Thanks also, to all who responded to my posting. I appreciate your interest in helping out a new member.

hi guys, Have some fun with this (the window tool that cuts opening and place the window into walls) This is of course really really early draft... Just place the win01.rbs file into the Plugins folder. I have plan to add a lot for options, and types of windows, doors into this window tool (very early preliminary 1st draft)

@d12dozr said: Welcome to the forum, freshwater ocean Do you mean like a cutlist? Here is the best one I know of. thanks for the help. i've got cutlist plugin installed. i'll have to read up more on it at the link you gave because it doesn't do what they show, on my mac. the lumberjocks forum doesn't date stamp their posts so don't have any idea how old their info is. it would be nice to get the BOM working!

@dave r said: Wood three points be alright? ha! i can see where your mind is...

Know what you mean They confuse me too - and I made them The Extrusion Tools just grew like Topsy and 'EEbyXXX' originally seemed a 'sensible' naming convention until it gets too complicated...

The code finds the geometric center of a Face, then adds some Edges from the center to the outside vertexes. "Crack" means break, shatter, fracture, subdivide.

GROW and CURVILOFT are a good combination for many profile designs. [image: pUeW_Unbenannt.JPG]

Good and powerful!

thanks Jim. just got the tool, it is such a useful script! credit to the phlatboyz

I get it... but I was looking for "something better" RVS
