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!

So far nothing quite does what I need. I need this to work on all all selected components, nested as well.

Hello. I'm trying to launch the Stair Maker plugin in SketchUp 2017. I get this error Error: #<NameError: uninitialized class variable @@ss_height in SDM::Stair_Maker> C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:287:in put_defaults' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:84:in reset' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:54:in initialize' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:9:in new' C:/Users/Silent_ip/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/StairMaker/StairMaker.rb:9:in block in <top (required)>' SketchUp:1:in call' Code

Yes a solution without a special target-component would be nice. I have to say that all "random" selection plugins strangely seem to have the same conception of "randomness". I always get high amounts of "clumping", that i have to fix manually.

Hello Jim, Off lately your link to download this plugin doesn't work, there must be some issue here. cause when I search for the same it shows no result in the store. Now I am at a dead end with my work.

Thanks for coming back to me.. I like the idea of grabbing things and copying sideways. If I did this at each step and saved, I wouldn't have so many files in the project folder, as back up in case of crashes.. and it does just crash my end, when applying the quadmesh procedure. As I mentioned earlier, if I can get isocontours from a points cloud, export these to and mark up in CAD, I am still ahead of the game... Ta
