No, its not impossible for sure. I think that scene tabs have worked sufficiently well for most people who need to have different axis locations set, so no one has bothered with writing a separate plugin for it.

A curved UV mapper?!!! As someone who builds and textures curved walls everyday, as well curving brick borders and such, that sounds as if it would make life soooo much easier. I'm looking forward to you tackling the remaining 5%. Let me know if you need help testing it out. Regarding the Component Tiler, perhaps Chris Fuller will catch wind and maybe think of expanding the concept into his component stringer?

Your file path misses the bit that says whether or not this is the User's or Root's path to the Plugins folder. On a Mac, it is important to install all plugins in the Root plugins folder and to make sure the User plugins folder is at least empty and preferably deleted. On my machine, the path to the KT plun is Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/su2kt.rb there is also a su2kt folder in the same plugins folder. If you can't see a toolbar, make sure it is enabled through the View> Tool Palettes menu item.

cheers mate! now i know why i couldent find a solution for it google.

@yukonhoo said: wow, yes, exactly like that. Thanks!! Is there a mesh-making plugin as well, or can you do that in normal Sketchup? could you be more specific?

Thanks again John. It seems I should have used the original plugin post, so I will do that now, as the topic has come to the top.

Whenever you experience such problems, always be suspicious of this non-planar thing. With raw (non grouped) geometry, you can always check the co-ordinates for each endpoint with the Text label tool - by default it gives these co-ordinates I also used in my example.

Oh! I just discovered that the polyline segmentor will divide a line without breaking it apart. That helps!

TIG, thank you for responding. Ben

Another tip... It's a good idea to have Reverse Faces and Orient Faces assigned to shortcut keys [you must have a face selected before opening Preferences > Shortcut filer 'reverse' or 'orient' for the command to become shortcut-able]. Perhaps Reverse=shift+Q and Orient=alt+Q then they are near each other and easy to use in sequence... These shortcuts will work in other tools too - like PushPull - say you PushPull a face and the result has reversed faces, just ctrl+Z to undo and with the tool still in PushPull over the face so it is 'highlighting' hit shift+Q and the face reverses - now PushPull it and all is well...

A simple section slice would be fine, you don't need any detail just simple 2D outlines. One might be able to activate a plan view that sits in a corner or it could be in a separate window. Or make where and how the map shows up user selectable. The data is already there in the drawing, but how to tap it?

@hsjzyangbin said: it can't work in my sketch pro 7.0 Why not ?

screw it! i just made a shortcut key instead. would still be nice to know though. thinking about it one would probably create a module or function with the jitter code (not sure of the correct term) then call the module with an onclick event.

thank you massimo for your help, I spend 2 days looking for this plug in to try, you said is shown in the first post but i never see it. thanks man.....

Cool plugin, Thomas. Thanks! _KN

how about this? the plugins i wrote [image: VLpg_6.gif]

[image: oSnS_w.gif] is it like this??

tig. in this new version of lathe, it could include generating estrución edges, and besides extrusion of faces?
