@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.

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]

Can you point me to information on "vector graphic system" or "SU's Icon drawer"

Excellent! Thank you for that.

Thanks for the tip of SU4U Slice. Together with Mirror it works exactly as I wished.

I've tried Thomthom's City Skylines plugin and it seems useful for creating buildings for that game. However I don't know exactly how it would help when making templates for mt plugin. The guides aren't really needed since elements such as windows are arrayed bu Eneroth Townhouse System and not arrayed manually in the template. Each window is drawn once in the template. The user then set its positioning method to array in part Info and chose interval and margins. [image: bPxn_template_array.png] The plugin then automatically arrays the windows depending on the width of the facade. [image: 1iZ6_template_array2.png]

It works in 2016. Make sure you understand how to use it.

DWG files are proprietary binary files, and therefore much more difficult to parse and extract data. DXF files are readable ASCII and these are thus relatively easy to parse [ but please don't underestimate the complexity of doing even this ]... BUT, someone providing a DWG can just as easily provide an exact duplicate DXF version. Depending on their software, it's either a 'save_as' or 'export' option... If you 'colleagues' are not as helpful as one might expect of them ! then there are also several converters to help you... But some are for $$$... https://client.autocad360.com/ http://askubuntu.com/questions/49100/how-do-i-convert-dwg-to-dxf-with-free-software http://anydwg.com/dwg-dxf/ http://www.autodwg.com/dwg_dxf_converter/ Do some investigations... This newer tool [ http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=importDXFtextLabel - with floating 2d text labels ] and its formally recognized 'progenitor' [ my tool - with 3d-text - http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=importDXFtext ] both need DXF files to import the text. Since these are both 'free' plugins, then you are extremely unlikely to get an unpaid "order of magnitude" improvement in their functionality - especially because you'd just like it to be so, it doesn't make it easy/possible/likely... If it were so easy to do, then perhaps the authors would have already given you this capability... Or perhaps offered a paid option for the more involved solution...

@glro said: @rv1974 said: Rather bizarre request.. Why one won't just put any desired desktop shortcut instead? maybe because when sketchup fills your screen entirely, you have to close or reduce the sketchup window to access the shortcut if the shortcup is inside the sketchup window, you can access it directly each clic matters... Just ONE Win+D (Alt+Tab if it's open) hit! And thisrequires a dedicated plugin?? And to pin a File or Folder to the Windows 7 Taskbar won't solve your problem either?

Hello, I'm planning to download and play with this. I was wondering will it work on curved edges and parts? Brock

Hand made is the last option for me. i would pay for a working plugin. thank you again for your fast answer.
