It seems that I have more and more updates to do, and not enough time for it now

that is a good workflow and i use it for when doing more complicated models ... but iam using SceneExporter plugin from smustard to export 30+ scenes from a single file, and if you do not save the shadow info in each one then no shadow will be present in that particular export ... so i have to update each scene with the new time/date etc... i have tried the first method ... worked perfectly ... i didnt know youcould update individual attributes like that with the double arrow icon ... very handy thanks

Fredo's BezierSpline plugin has a toolbar though: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13563

thanks!Point Merger tools v1.2 UPDATED@ 23/06/09

An overlooked Gem is the Sculpt tools, great for small detailed terrains.

@thinkbuild said: on a VW2010 thread over at pushpullbar, it was suggested to goto .kmz via google earth and then hack out the kml file ... But I couldn't figure that out with google earth. sigh. Sketchup 7.1+ has built-in Import directly from .kmz and .dae (Collada) Menu: File > Import... Change file type to (.kmz,.dae) and choose the file.

hi, autocad work but manually not automatic. The request work is an automatic subtraction of face from actual and project.

@tig said: I already wrote a batch importer - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=203630#p203630 Simply run, it navigate to a folder and select a file of the type to be imported - all files of that type get imported... Sweet, Thanks TIG. You made my day.

Well, I'm glad it was. Thank you again.

There is an API UI [User Interface] method that opens a URL - i.e. a 'path' to a web site or a file - be it on the www/internet or just somewhere your PC or local network. The http tells it it's a www link whilst the drive-path etc and suffix of the file name tells your PC where to find the file and which application should open it. So, UI.openURL("http://forums.sketchucation.com/") opens this forum's home page in Internet-Explorer or Firefox or whatever your default web-browser might be... For a file it's in the form UI.openURL("C:\\Users\\TIG\\Desktop\\myskp.skp") which would open the given skp file - for this your PC will know to use SketchUp. For a text file UI.openURL("C:\\Users\\TIG\\Desktop\\mytextfile.txt") it'd use NotePad.exe etc etc... However all these do is open another application outside of SketchUp. Even if you wrote a custom web-browser in say VB it would be external. To have it 'internal' to SketchUp you need something like a web-dialog BUT has has been said this is not easy to achieve with js etc alone... So, whilst it's quite possible to get a browser to open a 'link' that is given entirely with in SketchUp [or for that matter any other file-type opening with it's appropriate application] it will become a process that's separate from SketchUp itself - so you might as well open a separate browser session manually - unless you need SketchUp to link to something specific - e.g. by clicking on a object in the model that opens some external data source...

Pilou - nascent scripter - yours I think... Iterate through model.definitions, if defn.group? then add if to a groups array and then iterate through groups and rename each group to match its group.layer.name, keep a list of all group names as you go [start by making a list of the groups' names and then remove old name and add new name as you go groups]. It a group name exists then increment it [tip: name="name#1";name=name.next if groupnames.include?(name)] - several groups could be on one layer and should them get named name#1,name#2,name#3 etc...

Hi all, Here is the new toy. Enjoy 04.11.08 Hi there, Here is a release of the spray tool, including a layer mask option, and some bug fixes (very high models with sky domes, active_layer automatically put in the dialog box, etc). French version coming soon. Enjoy,

Moved the thread to the Developer's forum. We have reorganized so that the Plugin section is only a list of plugins you can download and use.

Thank you so much for creating this plugin for me! I was having no luck creating this plugin myself or finding a similar one on the web. You really have saved me a great deal of time, assuming this plugin works as intended I can't thank you enough! Nvm I found the problem. Thanks again

Ah, thank you Chris & Rick, after reading your replies I did open up some rubies and tried to figure out what you said, and will give it a go, although I'm more likely to break things than mend them But then, i always liked to take things apart to see what made them tick. Lesse ta.
