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

@beepeng said: Hi all. Can I customize Outliner? If so, how can I do that? Are there any examples? Thanks. Ang Beepeng @tig said: No... BUT you could make your own version using a web-dialog - and so heavy-duty coding... If you look at this post you will see some development work on the organisational aspects of Sketchup; it could do with some attention so that requests like yours can be satisfied.

Thank you, Jeff Hammond! It's just what I was looking for!

@ TIG: Works fine! So A third solution I must change the title and my other post! Line above by TIG, Grow by TIG, Radial Move by C.Plassais [image: Rh2D_grow.jpg]

@thomthom said: Are you talking about 3d point data or contour data? For Contour data you can use Sandbox Tools that comes with SU - you might need to enable it under Extensions first. I had been trying with contour data, but I've always had problems with the sheer number of lines that i have. Does point data work better?

@unknownuser said: When you use a PNG file as a texture, how can you see through the holes with a renderer. Perhaps the opacity and a bump map ? It depends on the render application you use - so can't give you a more precise answer than that... In Kerkythea, Twilight and Thea it's the clipping channel... If you use a png texture with transparency (Alpha map) in Twilight, it will automatically make the transparency for you...

There is a conflict between the Sunposition plugin and Curviloft (and maybe other scripts). Basically it causes a direct crash of Sketchup when using Curviloft. see that post for more info on how to resolve the conflict. Fredo PS: I could not contact yet the author of the script

Hi, I have such a plugin (or similar) but never released it. Not enough time as usual... [image: 7VL7_sulinx.jpg]

Make sure it's working first.... Then thank Fredo for a superb tool

@stonebreaker said: @Bep: thx for the link! a generator plugin would be very nice! as an inspiration: http://www.scribd.com/doc/441240/Five-hundred-and-seven-mechanical-movements I have drawn no. 24 . Who draws one of the other 506 in SP Bep

Ditto for the 20 years ago sentiment. I downloaded it a few months ago to try it again, but I still wind up with that "early 90s" look to a render - pretty cheesy. I guess I don't know how to make it work right yet.
