Great! I'll store all these options in my notebook for future reference. Bill

PM the author...........

The original plugin was not able to do a screen clipping/cropping. When SketchUp exports images of the current view, they always include the whole viewport. But you can set the pixel dimensions of the image. If someone really needs all the options of the original plugin, it is still downloadable. Otherwise you create a toolbar button with a code snippets using ToolbarEditor. This is much easier to support, and it is easier to adapt to your specific needs. This snippet asks for the file name and image dimensions. If you choose a filename with png or tif, the image will have transparency. model = Sketchup.active_model view = model.active_view ro = model.rendering_options filepath = UI.savepanel("Save Image File", nil, "BMP|*.bmp;|JPG|*.jpg;*.jpeg|PNG|*.png|TIF|.*tif;*.tiff|TGA|*.tga||") width, height = UI.inputbox( ["width", "height"], [view.vpwidth, view.vpheight], "Size of the screenshot") unless filepath.nil? || width.nil? || height.nil? is_transparent = filepath[/\.(png|tiff?)$/i] if is_transparent drawGround, ro["DrawGround"] = ro["DrawGround"], false drawHorizon, ro["DrawHorizon"] = ro["DrawHorizon"], false end keys = { ;filename => filepath, ;width => width, ;height => height, ;antialias => true, # or false ;compression => 0.9, # Only for jpeg ;transparent => true # Only for png } begin raise unless view.write_image(keys) Sketchup.status_text = "A snapshot has been saved as #{filepath}." rescue Exception => e Sketchup.status_text = "Failed to save snapshot to #{filepath}. #{e.message}" end if is_transparent ro["DrawGround"] = drawGround ro["DrawHorizon"] = drawHorizon end end

Alas, when trying to set up my cloud I get [image: ZHOz_sync.PNG] I have encountered no place where it gives me the opportunity to do that?? Also, when I open http://cloud.sketchucation.com/ there are no plugins in the folder Finally: when I click on "Open my http://cloud.sketchucation.com, I get [image: RQvi_Substance.PNG] I tried disabling my ...sketchucloud/plugins folder and re-enabling, but that did not change anything. Help

Thank you TIG. I got it to work. And yes. . .I am challenged. That's why I defer to you. . the Wizards of Smart here at Sketchucation.

My 'Latticeizer' uses all faced-Edges in the preselected Group as the center-lines for its extrusions - including the perimeter edges, so offset the main face inwards by half the extruded width before sub-dividing and erase the outer edges to move the assumed perimeter inwards, and then the over all size will be maintained when it's a lattice... In its dialog you can choose different dimensions, materials and whether or not there are 'panes' to the lattice etc...

Hi i've downloaded but doesn't work on mac...

Very nice plugin, sdmitch! Thank you.

Couple of comments: If you set the small inertia of the moving up and down (shift and ctrl) movements are not smooth, twitches. It is clear that the camera is controlled with the mouse, it is possible to hide the mouse cursor so that you can make a good video. The movement of the mouse is intuitive and without a cursor.

I've had a play with it but it's too cumbersome (would be okay if you could input vehicle parameters, but still need to have some reference cases so you know it works), I use Bricsturn which is an outside of process plugin for Bricscad,

there are several threads on this issue now and i just realized i never posted my solution to using dropbox as a source for plugins to enable synchronization between multiple machines. i have it listed in detail here: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=58948%26amp;p=569678#p569678

@scalas Consider manually removing the SketchUcation subfolder from within the Plugins folder, and also removing the !SketchUcation_loader.rb file. Please [re]download the latest SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset version from the Resources menu link above, or its PluginStore entry [v2.6.1]. Use the SketchUp native Window > Preferences > Extensions > Install... button to install it. Restart SketchUp. Now, with the 'Ruby Console' open, try using the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog from within SketchUp... If you choose to AutoInstall a Plugin what happens ? Your error message suggests that the SCF toolset was somehow not correctly installed. The SCF_dialog RBS's code calls some RBZtool functions - these should have been loaded at the start from another RBS in the ../Plugins/SketchUcation subfolder... So the error ...undefined methodset_choi' for RBZtool:Module` should NEVER happen, because it does indeed include that method in its code ! This is what the correctly installed subfolder should look like... [image: gb0U_Capture.PNG] Report back...

mmm.. don't think i can do that with ruby - unless the toolbar is moved to a webdialog. it's something i have done but has its problems like stealing focus from keyboard shortcuts. not sure about multiple monitors, but one thing i can suggest for now is to have a look at this little gem called winsize http://sourceforge.net/projects/winsize2/. you can store windows positions using their name.

If only Id found this plug in BEFORE i went through all the trouble of making my own roof! Great program. Highly reccomend, save yourself...AND ...customer service is fast and all on the up-n-up

Kris's illustration shows many 'window' related terms. A few observations... A 'sill' - in the UK it might be alternatively called a 'cill'... All of the parts around the edges of the opening are called the 'frame'. The inner thinner section 'glazing-bars' [horizontal or vertical] are often called 'muntins', but a bigger section - e.g. something more like a side frame's profile - is called a 'mullion' if it's vertical, and a 'transom' if it's horizontal... At the bottom it's the 'sill/cill'. At the top it's the 'head'. The projecting part of the 'sill/cill' that throws water away from the wall is usually called the 'drip'. If the opening is actually a 'doorway', then the terms like 'sill/cill' change to be 'threshold'.

Sorry for this question but is there some news? Some progress? I am so excited about this plugin.

@pbacot said: What are the first and last vertices? One can always skip the target vertex then move the result of merge to that point, no? Just merging them without any options and without destroying UV's would be OK for me.

@jql said: You'll get used to it... just stop fighting it and embrace your tired eyes glasses sooner than later! Yup, maybe in general, most users are not bothered with it at all. By the way, I found a solution- I end up using "ams_WindowSettings_4.1.5", which is amazing.

Agreed... In SU I like faces. Once in LO I hate faces.

yes, that's what i meant with scftools, i knew TIG has implemented a managing feature (though i haven't used it)
