Sure ! For randomize all paramaters of a same texture! (Works also for Components & Groups) But you can select several different textures on the same time! They will have same variation of parameters! (Different sizes of boxes is just perspective effect ! ) [image: tHdB_2boxes.jpg]

I like it!good!

@unknownuser said: Repeat and Pursue Yes all yet existing is very useful! @unknownuser said: What you request is slightly different, as you wish the infinite loop is for individual clip elements Seems this is implicite if each clip has its own animation from start to end animation! But will be terrific if you can make this automatically! @unknownuser said: Repeating the whole animation is easy So general Loop! Excellent! Ping-pong will be paradisiacal! Not yet automatic animation element along a path ?

Now I think I see the issue... You are perhaps a new [or renamed] user of the SketchUcation toolset on that computer ? Each SketchUcation toolset user is 'registered' on each computer that they use it on. So because you have not yet registered, there is an ExtensionStore dialog which opens at start up, and you simply need to log-in to SketchUcation using that. Enter your SketchUcation member-name and current SketchUcation password in the two fields nad submit them. You'll need at internet connection at that time... Once your details are received and verified by the SketchUcation server [it takes only a second] an encrypted version of your data is saved in your user's AppData subfolder [rather like a 'cookie'], and thereafter you should not see that SketchUcation log-in dialog again at start up, unless of course you have deliberately logged-out of the main ExtensionStore dialog [bottom-right (|) button], in which case you will be prompted to log-in again... If you have any issues with this come back again... PS: Although the Plugins and Extensions Managers can be used to disable other scripts, the ExtensionStore cannot disable itself ! So it will load at start up. You could however disable its Extension using the native Preferences > Extensions dialog, but then you'll lose all of its tools... If you are going to do that you might want to enable all Plugins in its Manager - otherwise these will not be visible to SketchUp at all... PPS: Please ensure that you also have the latest version of Internet Explorer installed [v11?] - SketchUp needs it - and that your Internet Options [Control Panel] is not set to be too strict etc [image: FTfE_Capture0.PNG] [image: 3byN_Capture1.PNG] [image: vHx6_Capture2.PNG]

I would use Curviloft in this case... [image: bTv5_autofoldfredo.gif]

@khai said: so now we're down to this... How much? when? are we nearly there yet? who was that masked stranger? I apologise for the late reply but we are tied up prepping Animator with Fredo and finalising the licensing system with WrapR. Once Animator is out then expect WrapR shortly afterwards...

Animator should soon enter a publicBeta program on Sketchucation. Fredo

I can see why this is handy. Thanks!

Very Thanks

Back to the original question of how to engrave text: if you have the Pro version, the solid tools make combining the 3D Text component and the rest of the model easy. For the rest of us, a few lines of Ruby make it easier to select all those faces and fill in the missing holes. See http://www.instructables.com/id/Engrave-3D-Text-With-Sketchup/

How about sharing the SKP file so we can see how you've got it set up. The screen shot doesn't provide enough information to help you.

i always use tak2hata's throw to, which works in any direction. havent tried raycaster

Thanks! I think they should clarify that on their website.

@numerobis: its the same with the mentioned clipping problem...

@juju said: SketchUp 8 is several years old, I don't even know where you could have downloaded it from... Not likely a legitimate source.

s4u scale definition s4u scaletool

New version 1.0.49 now available for download Version number now shows up on title bar of web dialog Now uses same License strategy as cabmaker Check license now first deletes old license and then updates license Has preferred setting for users who have license issues

Of course components can be anything! [image: aFY5_tiles01.jpg] With the famous Exploded View by CPlassais and... me! [image: te4F_tiles02.jpg]

@rich o brien said: I was thinking of Right-Click > Make Component with Axis that works on raw geometry and groups/components. Good , but it should (if needed) also turn groups to components. Even populated groups.. And be a silent spartan script- no confirmation windows. There's some nuance with a vertical glued component though, which should be treated right.

Well Tig, took the plunge. I just installed this on SketchUp 2016. Works as perfect as ever! Just renamed the .zip file to .rbz. I used to use this one a lot for renders. HonoluluDesktop would be very happy this lives on♫♪♫♪... .. .
