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♫♪♫♪... .. .

Beware though that there are some extensions, eg Podium, which will install into the Program Datatree by default AND DOES NOT WORK if you try to install it into the Users...App Datatree.

excuse me, I forgot the enter key (I am ashamed) very thanks

A few suggestions for improvement: ORBIT VIEW should be a stand alone function outside of SCENES. It is a valuable tool that can be used often. At present, it is "LOST" in SCENES for those users that are not aware of its existence. Sunlight should be noted by its geographic location, is it for Northern or Southern Hemispheres? A NORTH arrow would assist in checking of the plan against that which is showing. Often the user will forget to show this on their plan. Option to SHOW or HIDE NORTH ARROW would be helpful. Suggest a simpler Font Style for naming Scenes. Current font is not "elegant or gives the look of quality" Arial is a safe font to use. LIGHTS should have the option to increase intensity. The current COLOUR selection is too hard to use, try to use simpler bar sliders with better control. SECTION SLIDERS - Is it possible to set AXIS for a specific building's orientation rather than the AXIS of the PROJECT? All in all, a very good WebGL Viewer which has the potential to be better. Thank you T2H for your work!

cool pilou. some tries with Eneroth Townhouse System. Really awesome plugin. [image: GWPL_screenshotbyyellowdoor_00012016_08_24_-_21_50_22.jpg] [image: PAS9_screenshotbyyellowdoor_00012016_08_24_-_21_50_54.jpg]
