New Update: Composition Guides v0.0.7 Available at: Gumroad SketchUcation PluginStore SketchUp Extension Warehouse If you already installed v0.0.6 then you can update to v0.0.7 from SketchUp: You can follow the steps below regardless of where you downloaded the extension. However, the SketchUp Extension Warehouse and SketchUcation PluginStore have their own way to update the extension. I suggest updating the extension with the steps below if you downloaded the extension from my Gumroad store. Go to Extensions > i3D > Compositions Guides > Check for Update If there is an Update available a Notification will pop-up Follow the Installation Instructions. What is New: Scene Buttons now have tooltips [image: 380c29128eb1847c37a37e9d62358e05f3c6cb19.gif] The Plus button now adds a new scene with a user-specified name. More info: A user by the name @EstOuest wanted this feature and I even created a standalone plugin that can be downloaded for free HERE. The original forum post can be found HERE.

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions & feedback then I would greatly appreciate it if you share them with me.

Hi TIG Thanks for your help. It just shows how little I understand abaut the task. May I ask for your permission to post this code somewhere else on the internet? Besides if it isn't too hard I could pay for solving this problem. Please contact me if you interested. Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it! It took some hunting around to find (for some reason when I open the plugin store there only seem to be a handful of plugins available, not including sketchucation tools) but after searching I found a link to it from a news item and then was able to download it and then when I tried to use the extension I again got the error message but the "help with licensing" button now brought me to a page where I could activate my license by searching up my copy of it, and now the extension works.

Done ! Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi is there perhaps a way this plugin (or other) can export the co-ordinates of the polyline segments in the correct order? I am trying to reconstruct a polygon by loading in the co-ordinates from the csv, but I need them in the correct order. At the moment I am basically getting a point cloud Thanks Michiel

Thank you very much TIG! Updated.

Hi, unfortunately i don't have a mac on which to test the bugs. if any mac using author wants to have a look, that's fine. time is a bit tight, but hope to update JHSPB sometime in late february if i can. meantime, i just thought that you can edit manually the toolbar file: "jhs_pb_settings.txt" true means the icon will show, false it is hidden. if you reference the list with the image below, you can make it easier to see which icons will checked (true) or not (false).

@rutpin said: The plugin doesn't work... Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2021 Free/Make. There is no such version, though. If you are using SketchUp 2021 Pro, it isn't terribly surprising that the plugin doesn't work. It hasn't been updated in more than 7 years. Ruby has changed at least once since then. BTW, please fix your profile with the correct SketchUp version.

Hi Djé, Version 1.1.0 of the plugin is now availbale. the UCS Origin now takes the current UCS for moving it a new tool lets you define a new UCS (just like the native SU tool) Download it at the Plugin Store (also soon at the EW): https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/13e533c2-ebf7-4d86-805f-59dd2254564b/axes-manager Regards,

Maybe contact this reseller of SketchUp in Turkey and ask them to be your point of sale in Turkey https://fga.com.tr/urun/sketchup/ They can send an email to support@sketchucation.com if they are interested in serving turkish customers.

Osvaldo, The "pro" version of this plugin (that --if I am not mistaken-- also calculates the plastic neutral axis and plastic section modulus) is still available anywhere? Thank you, Jorge. @osalas said: Hello Everyone, I have been an avid user of SketchUp these past few years, mostly used in the structural design work I do. There a lot of talented people in this forum who's plugins have had a big influence in pursuing my interest in developing plugins. This is my first post but I look forward to becoming a contributing member of this forum. Below is a plugin that could be useful to those looking to calculate the centroid and geometric properties of planar faces. NOTE: v1.1a moved to SCF PluginsStore http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=SectionProp Now has proper 'require' statements. TIG. I have additional information and tutorials posted on my website. http://www.skpengineering.com Regards, Osvaldo

Hi Trimble scan explorer is a great plugin for modeling architectural model from point cloud especially "structured" e57 files. Most 3d scanner can export this type of file. After having indexed this file with this plugin you can start modeling with SKETCHUP 2018 (further version do no work...) unfortunately it has not been updated for newer SKETCHUP version... and SKETCHUP 2018 cannot be installed anymore. it is a pity it you know people at TRIMBLE who could make it work for the lastest SKETCHUP version it would be great. it is worth the price of "trimble scan essentials" by far...

Hi, I write just to say thanks to Chris for this tool very useful. The Q rotator options to duplicate was obviously limited.

No problem hope u enjoy. Why all in one: 1- Practicality for dev(me) - Easier to code and update since each extension requires: 1 loader file; 1 menus/core file; dependencies; feature development files. Putting all together means I have to do it only once. 2- Practicality for users - Easier to distribuite: Multiple extensions shares the same dependecies, if its separate theres 2 options: a) you ship the dependencies on every extension. (increasced size, error chance and harder to update) b) you make the dependencies as separate extension (such as Freedo's library), so user now have to download at least 2 files. All in one means the dependencies will be managed and downloaded only once, on same file. Also, it makes easier for people to know about my work. 3- I see it as a suite of tools. Imagine having to download SU tools one by one by your choice. 4- It all weights less than 1mb, then whats the problem? just use the tools you need and leave the rest aside. As example, you may never use SU sandbox tool, but it ships together. Thanks for using it, Cya

Hello, I bought the S4U PAINT, I still haven't received my license by email, I am waiting, viniciusramire

Thank ,you TiG that worked! Any chance of incorporating the code into GlobalMaterialChange2.rbz ? And/or a separate Plugin for displaying an option (such as "GroupCopy UnInstanting") in the Context Menu that would appear if objects are selected? It come in handy for other issues that might happen with copied groups. P.S. Your previous post regarding editing a group, gave me an idea of how to make it easier to manually open multiple occurrences of groups containing materials. I gave all groups containing materials an Instant Name that included the text "....(with material)". Then, by opening the Outliner, and searching for "(with material)" and double-clicking on each find to open and close the group. It was a fairy quick process compared to opening each group in the modeling window. If a group's instant is properly named then all is good, BUT it takes discipline when creating groups in the first place.

Thank you.

Hi, Just discovered your 8 year old plugin. Its exactly what I was hoping to find. I am a 2018 Pro user and a retired architect that still does small projects for clients and fun designs for myself. Your plugin works as expected although it took me a while to find where among the tools it is located. Save for one problem. It doesn't always save even though I update the scene after selecting the left or right option. I create four orthogonal elevations and happily am able to cast a 45 degree shadow on all four sides, update the scene but when I come back, some of the scenes have lost the setting while others are fine. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance, Allen Weitzman
