Many Thanks TIG. Charly

@utiler said: I bought it Dylan, used it s few times, spend countless hours developing custom profiles for the OZ market [see http://www.smustard.com/script/ProfileBuilder] and then didn't use it much after that.... not sure why. Maybe because there has been NIL development of the tool........ Why, you found limitations that prevented you from doing work?

Thanks Chris. I figured that was the case. No harm in asking though. I knew about the ongoing polycount issue, but I was unaware that the abort process idea had been discussed. Too bad that it isn't an option. Oh, well! Thanks for the quick response, and thank you VERY MUCH for the awesome plugins you have done. Greeble 2, shape bender and Perpendicular face tool are fast becoming indispensable tools in my modeling process. Keep up the good work, it is really appreciated. I gotta go, machine is rendering my partner's birthday gift.

Hi maximas, I think Thom's UV Toolit this will work: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=18992#p15575

ah, by the way, have you heard of http://www.bricksntiles.com/ ? xxx

Hi, Something like this ? It adds guide points at the most elevated end of each line of the selection, skips horizontal lines, removes doubles (only one point added at lines intersections). Unzip it in Plugins folder, restart SU, Select your lines, Go to Plugins menu and select "Add guide points to lines" Tell me if it is exactly what you want. N.B.: In the next release of my "cloud" plugin, there will be an option to export a points cloud right from lines, faces, curves, polylignes, to CSV format. Regards, addGuidePoints2Lines.zip

there's this: http://www.smustard.com/script/ProfileBuilder

I wouldn't abandon my older plugins, sometimes the more simple functions do the job just as well with fewer clicks than more advanced ones.

Great, glad its working! Chris

Great an nice TIG! as always !! i hope soon they will be an parametric array plugn for sketchupp !! i hope that somone upload those file to can speed learning )

His website isn´t working too (Journal has been deleted): http://lss2008.livejournal.com/ Daniel S

It appears to me that you are looking for Daysim http://www.daysim.com/ to stay with free tools, there's Radiance and Su2Rad (http://code.google.com/p/su2rad/) If I recall well someone was writting another code that could be used instead of Radiance (faster and easier to use). Does someone have information on it?

Hi @unknownuser said: Is there a way to get a list of all plugins? I'll try to provide that soon. EDIT 2010.06.15: done. @unknownuser said: would have been nice if it redirected instead if producing 404 ht_access only redirects old bookmarks that were pointing to main pages... regards,

@tig said: Since a SectionPlane is a DrawingElelment you should be able to do most things with it like Move, Rotate etc. You also have two extra methods to 'set' and 'get' a SectionPlane's 'plane'... You can't make a SectionPlane - unfortunately there is not equivalent method to entities.add_section_plane(plane) - though the trick of importing an 'empty' component that contains only a SectionPlane and then exploding it works - you can get it's id and then change it's location/plane... The BIG problem is that there is no entities.active_section_plane [returning a SectionPlane or nil if none is active] or entities.active_section_plane=SectionPlane [setting that active and all others not - equivalent to model.active_layers/= but entities based as there can be one active SectionPlane in each set], also SectionPlane.active? to see if a particular one is active and SectionPlane.deactivate to switch it 'off', would be good. Note that hiding/showing active/visible SectionPlanes can already be done though Display settings... and you can already search through an entities set and make an array of its SectionPlanes - though then you can't do that much to them... If these simple methods were added to the Ruby API it would open up loads of possibilities... It's beyond a mere scripter to hack into the SKP format and get/set the entities's active SectionPlane BUT it must be possible Why does the green color lenses of your geek sunglasses shine like light at the tunnel's end?

The models will go into a computer game. Any suggestions on a different format and/or intermediate programs?

Hi , Oppps I missed that issue Diddler Bur: It would be great if your point cloud importer had a "text" option Thanks for all your help Berst regards "fra regn byen" Kristoffer

I'll do that tomorrow.

@matteo said: I suppose that these rubies work directly on the rendering engine (opengl) parameters. Afraid not. They are simply setting the Style and Fog settings available in the API. No control over sun or shadow colours.

@jclements said: Related to Chris Glassier' posting. A possible UI which is relatively easy to use is shown below. A 2-D application I use, XaraPro, uses a "Profile" dialog with some of its tools. **A.)**shows a drop down list in the dialog of basic presets. **B.)**shows how the user can tweek the presets by using slider or typing in values. Not only does the plot-graphic change instanteously, but the graphic of tick marks adjusts instantaneously depicting the dispersion of data along an interval. Just an idea of how choosing the proper the acceleration from scene to scene (or camera to camera) might be done. Me likes!

Hi Jax, Thank you for your post, glad the fix worked. Just to let everybody know that Shaderlight for Sketchup has now been released as an open Beta. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. It is available to download free from http://www.artvps.com This is not yet the complete product as we are going to be adding advanced features such as enhanced lighting and our trademark MELT interactivity which is the ability to make interactive changes to materials, environments, lights or textures at any stage in the rendering process without having to restart the render. This will available later this year. Martin
