Hi, I don't know if this plugin is still being worked on but I'm unable to scale down a model after saving it. The message I get is "Scale up your model first, and then use the 'Scale down at once' button" Using SU2016 if that makes a difference.

@bilgilib said: ...It is not really nice to pay for a next.gen virus if you purchase a plugin that needs to go online to check for new components, updates, license or anything, then you need to inform your anti virus software that it's ok... 'anti' virus software always presumes guilt without actually doing any real 'testing', it simply looks at list's it has from you or people that pay them for whitelisting... john

Thanks!

I never properly thanked Box, TIG, and Krisidious for your prompt and generous help over a year ago. I was on a tight work deadline. Needless to say, it worked. I was reminded of my oversight recently when I upgraded to Windows 10 and Sketchup 2016, and I was faced with the same problem. I forgot my prior inquiry on Sketchucation, but found it very helpful when I ran across it again! It took me a minute to realize that I had asked the question initially. I did the same thing all over, downloading the file and placing and it in the Plugins folder. It seems to work just fine. I'll be at Sketchup Basecamp 2016 in a few weeks. Will any of you be there?

And don't forget Chuck Vali's amazing RoofNui plug-in https://valiarchitects.com/sketchup_scripts

The real name of this plugin is Curve Scale by sugar

sam da mitch has a plugin for this http://sdmitch.blogspot.co.uk/ but i prefer slick movez https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/2dxy-smoves

Is this what you were talking about? http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=80%26amp;t=64302

@jql said: That is a very interesting plugin glro, it's also very interesting how you modeled that scafold as you seem to have done that based on a line or "bone" system. Have you done that based on some plugin? The base concept is indeed similar to this request however the fact that it compares bounding boxes doesn't fit in this case as it's the actual faces and edges I would wish to compare. This is something I have to do by hand on all my projects, but follows a very simple rule, so it could be fit for a plugin. It would save me literally hours of work, so it would be worth a lot to me. Here's a real example I made in sketchup: [attachment=0:1d3fe13i]<!-- ia0 -->example.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:1d3fe13i] the example scaffolding is made totally with components, no edges, no surfaces; so it is possible to use the bounding boxes; the axis line is needed to position precisely the components one onto another The example you show is made of lines, hatches, ... traditional 2D drawing elements; i wouldn't know how to deal with that; maybe the rules you mention might be translated into code lines.

Why do you need an update ? The current versions should work...

should I add this feature? does anyone have any feedback... [image: cP7P_Castlelation_Demo_02.gif] john

Exactly Rich, thanks for suggesting it as such.

@nektares said: Maybe this, on first step just draw a rough aproximation of where you want the rope to go. on step two adjust it and then convert it with bz toolbar to catmull spline and then the final step just tube along path or follow me along the generated catmull spline. [attachment=0:25tsseem]<!-- ia0 -->rope_test1.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:25tsseem] The times I tried the same workflow tube along path worked better.

Thanks. I just tried it and it didn't seem to work. It's also too many steps to make an efficient workflow.

Ohh ok ! i got it ! Thank you so much Pbacot and JQL for the help !

Lo malo de sketchup es que hay que tener una indinidad de plugins para poder trabajar adecuadamente, deberían tener un programa completo aun que se pague un poco mas.

Thank you. You can't imagine how much you helped me. Robert
