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.

Hopefully this works jf_custom_toolbars.zip

@cadfather said: unfortunately not, sketchup just adds a duplicate submenu. Yes, i noticed that as well. Anyway... it just would have been a bit more clean and organized. But that's really a minor thing. Thanks again for your help!

Hi all, Nice addition ! This give me some idea for enhancing my next plugin: I'm actually working on (yet another) window maker, full of options, among them you'll have the possibility to add a "screen", opened at a parametric percentage of the height of the casement. Below is a sliding window, 2 parametric sashes with parametric muntins, no shutter, no "push bar", all materials parametric: [image: 5mAD_slidingwithscreen.jpg] Interface: [image: zYxN_slidingparams.jpg] You will also have the possibilty to create window components based on a face, no matter its shape

Thanks sdmitch, used your code snippet to convert components to groups for MSPhysics. The reason is that MSP does not accept components for coupling with joints. The conversion of about 200 components with subcomponents into groups would have taken a long time...

"but at least SU could be used as the CAD modeller for GMSH?" (from a previous post) The "Meshkit" plugin from Peter V seems to do that. Did someone try it ? Because each time I launch SU (SU2015 Make or SU8) I have errors like "Error Loading File C:/Users/PC/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/pv_sketchytetgentools/pv_sketchytetgentools_class_loader.rbe" etc. I haven't found any information about this plugin on the forum. So I post here and hope someone might help with my installation problem. Cheers.

First of all thanks for this great tool! but unfortunately I haven't got it to work with sketchup 2017 pro. Hey guys has any one tried installing this recently? are there any tricks to it? it just says failed to install virtual wind plugin.

Error 101 means the internet connection time out on your computer. Stairmaker needs to connect to my web service once every week.

This one looks nice ^^

Didier, TIG In ~80% of cases, I'd prefer the old way (originaledges stay selected). The updated version of the tool is also useful in some cases. It'd just perfect to grant 2 options in one tool via say single Alt hit (for new-born edges get selected). Or, even better TAB key for selection cycling: original\extruded\connecting edges

I have no idea why it's no longer available, however here is the author's email pascal@poublan.org

I will do that TIG. I didn't do it after I made the correction, because the plugin wasn't mine and Jim over the years has made me a couple of life-saving plugins. I am not a code writer. I am sure others will find this not the optional solution, however, it does work for me. I would like to see this plugin modified so it is correct for 2019 and future versions of Sketchup but don't wish to step on anyone's toes. See the attached PDF document to see how I modified the directory "Toolbars" to make the plugin work. The short answer is I moved the plugin "Loader.rb" from the directory "Files" to the directory "Toolbars" The structure of the 2018 toolbar directory.pdf

Hi, @rv1974: you can also use my ScenesTools plugin here: https://extensions.sketchup.com/fr/content/scenes-tools In your case use this option: Display > Scenes Tools > Shadows > Copy-paste from current scene to all scenes. There are many more options for all parameters that make up a scene Regards,

There are a few plugins, I use Soften/Unsoften by cadfather but you can set a native shortcut. Just make sure you have something selected that included softenable edges when you go to the shortcuts menu, then you will find it as Edit/Item/Soften/Smooth Edges.

@dave r said: Have you installed the latest version or did you just copy it over from an older installation? See: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=557742#p557742 Thanks for the answer! I'm new here and I had not seen it update the plugin! Thank you very much!

No thanks, I'll pull them out from v2018 plugin folder. The point is sometimes main rb file comes with a bunch of aux stuff which is hard to catch.

@brewsky said: @awadrummer said: Does anyone know if this plugin is compatible with Sketchup Pro 2018? I did a little test and I ran into some issues for su2018 I will try to find some time to look into them... @awadrummer said: I'm looking to upgrade, but can't live without this one. Great to hear you like it! Thank you Brewsky! The only issue I've found with 2018 is it freezes/takes a long time to process, but I generally have ALOT of lines. With that being said it is still usable. Thanks for your help and designing this awesome plugin!
