The last update on that one appears to have been in 2013. The Ruby version has changed several times since then so it's not too surprising that it doesn't work. There are other grid tools that you could substitute. TIG has his Work Plane and there's the Grid Tool in the Extension Warehouse.

Thanks, I will try it.

from where can i download it please ?

The Kerkythea for SketchUP plugin has a clay render export option. Alex Hogrefe has a tutorial on his web site at https://visualizingarchitecture.com/sketchup-to-kerkythea-clay-rendering/

I downloaded instantroof in rbs format. Im using SU pro 2018, it wants to load rbz files only in my extension manager. Can someone also pls confirm if the instantroof rbs file is somewhat close to 3.5mb It would be handy if a willing heart can explain the steps involve in installing instantroof rbs file. Cheers

After 9 years one might expect a plugin to be unsupported and unsuitable for newer versions of SketchUp ! However, some of the ideas discussed in this thread are still useful today...

Great ! thank you very much Tig Now it works perfectly

@nopea said: Further on Topographer on SketchupPro 2019, an issue present on both Mac and Win, pressing the exit button forces the triangles back to the model. Is this also on issue on older versions of SU? Would it be possible to rid of this feature? I get no error messages. So I would like to have this: [attachment=1:8obdu9lo]<!-- ia1 -->1.JPG<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:8obdu9lo] Put when I press the Exit tool I get this: [attachment=0:8obdu9lo]<!-- ia0 -->2.JPG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:8obdu9lo] The two modes can be toggled with the menu "Edit > Hidden Geometry". I think TopoShaper just re-establish the Hidden Geometry mode that is in effect when you launch it.

DoorMaker was written in 2007 for Google SketchUp. The thread shows an update suitable for Sketchup 2014. I am using the last freestanding 2017 version. What must be updated for me to use DoorMaker? I am a savvy woodworking; not a ruby programmer. Help please? WoodChipz newby (sorta)

Thanks for you guys!

...I should add that it would be fun to try to make those modifications myself (assuming the approach is valid). A fair while back I had started teaching myself Ruby and made a couple of super simple plugins for my own use. Then I got busy with paid work and dropped the effort. I've probably forgotten much of what I had learned, but I have been meaning to get back to it — and this might be a fun re-entry (especially since most of the work is already done).

nothing of that sort exists. in windows, you may be able to hide the title bar of the palettes. Anton S window setting was able at this - really great plugin - you may want to try https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ams_WindowSettings i used to do it years ago in win 7, you may need to do a google search. you can also look for autohotkey scripts that will do that. autohotkey can work with specific windows classes so you can affects only the desired palettes and not the main window. lastly, all of this stuff i used to do it before the 'tray'. no idea how that all works now.

FAK works for me on SU 2018 PRO PluginStore version .rbs dtr

Sorry,I don't support for the earlier versions.

I've tried the same thing and had trouble with Remove_CG_mat. It's not the same as material replacer. Still looking.

Here is the interface of the "coming soon" extension: [image: oCCz_settings.jpg] Note that in this version, the ground color variation is also supported EDIT: just available now at the EW here: http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/node/6611

Box Thanks again for your suggestion (also all of your modeling tips!) and looking at the plugin to find the author, as I had forgotten where I had found the plugin. I emailed Joe Zeh and he sent me the files required and this very useful plug in is now working. If anyone is looking for this contact Joe - jpz@srww.com Great community we have here Jeff

ok j'ai envoyé par PM merci

TIG, this has been a great tool to use! I'm wondering if there's a way to make the ray auto adjust in real time if you move the object its reflecting off of?

Wow, thanks. I need to hang out here more. It looks like I'm still hitting snags. The X/30° param would have to apply to the obtuse conditions, not acute conditions. It doesn't appear to be culling the right edges in some circumstances, and it's terminating early. Regardless, thanks for giving me something to tinker with at some point.
