@kiwi15 said: Hi TommyK, This new way is indeed a much better way to tweak component properties. Apparently you are not the only one who have found the native Component Browser cumbersome: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/component-properties Thanks for a cool and promising plugin:) Thanks, kiwi. Yes ThomThom's plugin is indeed worth mentioning in this thread. I must admit I have other distractions at the moment, so development on this is slow. Glue properties are high on my list for this plugin.

@unknownuser said: It'a not slicer5 or S4U Slice or Tig-cut-to-plane Nor Zorro. Thanks anyway

Ok, thanks for the reply. Yeah I really like Fredo's ' Hide All Edges'.

For anyone else who sees this, I just uploaded the corrected version to the plugin store. Sorry about the error!

@ppoublan said: Dear all, I used this little script. Very limited but it insert scenes with intermediate cameras.

It will be helpful if you can explain it. What if i have about 26 scenes, & i want it to be 24fps?

@nutsandboltz said: So this thread is probably dead, but it's worth a try, anyway. I cannot purchase BoolTools on Smustard. The plugin does not show up in the SMustard's product list, but the link that's been provided to it in multiple Sketchucation threads still works. Any idea how I could get a hold of it? My free trial will run out soon, and I'd rather have a boolean plugin if possible. I'm using Sketchup 2016. Thanks! Hi NutsandBoltz, I chose to temporarily take Booltools off the market as it was too unstable. I hope to relaunch an update in the near future but I can not guarantee when that will happen.

OK, thanks. I have not tried it yet but then I will! I hope you do not mind my question

Alternatively, you can delete that component instance, and create a new one with the components window. It will have an identity rotation/scale, just place it on the origin.

I meant to reply and hit edit instead...epic fail Now the OP is gone for this thread.... Here's the answer he needs... Download this... http://sketchucation.com/resources/plugin-store-download Login in with your sketchucation account and search for free rotate

I use SketchUV and Roadkill, and it works great. WrapR is in development and it will make unwraping inside SU.

as a basis for a plugin I would use this workflow... copy selection into new drawing... move all axes to centre,centre, bottom [e.g. TT_axes tools]... create a proxy with same axes, a single line with the length of the most used element and hidden square at one or both ends [to allow scaling]... select all and replace with proxy... scale each proxy to intersection points... this workflow could possibly be automated, but would still require tweaking by eye and addition of missing bits...

First of all: I am NOT a programmer, so there is ZERO error handling on this quick-and dirty script. I had tried TIG's solution, but did not work on my DWG because some of the arcs would "clip" others as they were rebuilt by the script. So I wrote this small routine to: loop through imported AutoCAD entities. select curves and group them (individually) create a more refined clone of the curve (the number of segments is controlled by two parameters. See script) Delete the original curve. Anyone is welcome to turn this snippet into something better and more reusable. Best, Marcos. theModel = Sketchup.active_model #selEntities = theModel.selection theModel.selection.clear allEntities = theModel.entities Collect user values: prompts = ["Minimum number of segments:", "Minimum Segment Length:"] defaults = [36, 10] input = UI.inputbox(prompts, defaults, "Enter Desired Settings") #set minimum length for each arc segment (in model units) userSegs = input[0] minLen = input[1] #UI.messagebox(userSegs.to_s) #UI.messagebox(minLen.to_s) allEntities.each do |i| if (i.typename == "Edge") aCurve = i.curve if (aCurve) Sel = theModel.selection unless defined?(Sel) Sel.add (aCurve.edges) newGroup = allEntities.add_group (theModel.selection) Sel.clear else #not a Curve end end end theModel = Sketchup.active_model theModel.selection.clear allEntities = theModel.entities Loop through all entities allEntities.each do |i| #open Groups, search for Curves if (i.typename == "Group") #Loop through array of Entities inside each Group subset = i.entities subset.each do |s| curve = s.curve if it is a curve, collect a few properties if (curve) get coord. transformation, since entities are in a group #use "transform" below to translate to global coordinates tr=i.transformation cCenter = curve.center.transform! (tr) cSangle = curve.start_angle cEangle = curve.end_angle cRadius = curve.radius cNormal = curve.normal.transform! (tr) cXaxis = curve.xaxis.transform! (tr) cYaxis = curve.yaxis.transform! (tr) cLength = curve.length #UI.messagebox(" Curve Length is " + cLength.to_s) #divides arcs in minLen(model unit) increments divSegs = (cLength / minLen).to_i #UI.messagebox("Divided Result is " + divSegs.to_s) #for very small arcs, sets a minimum number of segments if (divSegs <= userSegs) numSegs = userSegs UI.messagebox("Using: " + numSegs.to_s) else #subdivides larger arcs using target length numSegs = divSegs.to_i UI.messagebox("using Divided total" + numSegs.to_s) end myarc = allEntities.add_arc cCenter,cXaxis,cNormal,cRadius,cSangle,cEangle,numSegs #Erases original i.erase! end # if curve end # entities inside group loop end # if it is a group end #loop through all entities

You must get in touch with the author of this Extension direct... It almost certainly uses some dll or similar PC helper files which must be made to be 32 or 64bit compatible. I assume their download site does not give clear guidance ?

works great now to see if I can create a ruby with an icon so the script can be run by clicking an icon. I also may want to add an identifier tag to the components IE: VR-Scene name or even VR-cam-## and then the numbers would be progressively created based on the scene order. We are trying to create an import script for Unity that would create jump or teleport positions based on SketchUp scene cameras. So when a model is exported in FBX format and then Imported into Unity the unity script would automatically place a teleport location at each "proxy" for a camera. This way if you have a SketchUp file with scenes for kitchen, dining, bedroom, hall, basement, etc. when exported and then imported into Unity we can use the Xbox controller on the Rift to teleport you to those preset camera locations in the model. I'll see if I can take it from here but I may come back and ask for your help. thanks again for getting me this so quickly.

Thanks for sharing! 'hide invisible' doesn't sound logical. maybe 'remove'?

@jql said: Thanks for your interest, but there's just so much to do in so little time... So true. I only write code in the downtime of my architecture business. Its just prototype code. Making proper plugins out of that code would greatly increase the coding time so probably Will never happen. I tried iT once and No succes. Hats of though to the people who can and do.

SB_intersect_circles.rb lines 443 and 444: "circle_intersect_16.png" and "circle_intersect_24.png" resp., but files in Plugin are named "circle_intersect_24.png" and "circle_intersect_32.png". If I correct source or renam .png files, SU loads w/o error msg, but there is no circle intersect cursor (blank square).

This is a quite ancient plugin - but it should still work... I assume you installed the latest version [RBZ] of this from the SketchUcation PluginStore. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchyFFD If not, then please do so now, and restart SketchUp... It's use is relatively simple - you select the desired group to be free-formed, the right-click > context-menu... Editing the guide [control] point group should modify the associated form... The usage-guidance is here... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=36127#p36127

Hi, My licensing doesn't seem to work properly. I purchased it yesterday, but it keeps saying no license. Same in the "My Extensions" section. I already tried to reinstall. I purchased a number of plugins, but this was my first purchase using the Extension Warehouse. I didn't use my google email address for purchase.. might that be a problem?
