It's free like a razor is free: buying the components at $4 - $9 each will add up very quickly. @unknownuser said: A DIY package will soon be available for those who want to create there own components and apply the iDrawnics features. This will make things much more attractive. In any event, this sure beats 3skeng's hefty yearly "rental" fees for the components.

Indeed much nicer way to do it, jim

You are welcome

@fountainhead said: You need to change one line of code at the end of some of Didier's scripts to work with 2014 and 2015, unfortunately I don't remember what that small change was. Message Tig, I think he suggested the easy fix. Thanks, I'll do a search, I am almost sure I saw something about that, now that you reminded me. Thanks for the reply. Ken

@Aerilius thank you for your fast answer nice Weekend.. dean

It think that could be a feature Fredo could add to his plugins himself. Ask him.

mainly two ways: 1 - use them instead of (replacing existing icons) 2 - use when you make a menu in a plugin. usually, but not always, a part of the script that looks like this: cmd.small_icon = 'icon_16.png' cmd.large_icon = 'icon_24.png'

You can have a look at TIGs "Latticeizer", "Lattice maker" or "EEbF" (Extrude Edges by Face) plugins too.

[attachment=0:2bnv0fad]<!-- ia0 -->FredoTools.PNG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:2bnv0fad] There seems to have problems with the Webdialog dimensioning. Most probably you have set up your browsers with medium fonts. I'll try to have a look and fix that. At least can you navigate with the arrows? Fredo

if you find one of the plugins to generate what you want, the copying to clipboard is easy on a mac... but, generating a report for 'clipboard' is a bit pointless when you could write straight to notes or messagebox... have you used the 'Generate Report' plugin? what more or less are you hoping for... john

Do you want the metric or original '&" version ? There are links to both if you search these forums...

The normal SketchUp 2d export exports the overlays.

So is it an error in your .file ?

brilliant, does more than i asked! need to study it a bit now (tax return can wait...) Thanks

has this made way to the api yet? I could find this useful

has anyone noticed that if you hold shift while using the freehand tool it is more precise? still blocky, but it won't simplify after you've laid the line, and it wont' snap to anything. on top of it, you can't click on those lines after laying them???

Ouf!

@box said: It's one of those situations where making a tree structure in the Component window would reduce the group/component argument. Not erase it but reduce it. By that I mean some way of reducing the number of or filtering out some components. Makes me wonder if an aftermarket Component Browser is possible as a plugin. D'oh, forgot about interloide's one. maybe just a new definition of what they are? (not new-- just a new way of explaining them?) i'd use components all the time if i didn't have to deal with the additional dialog.. (then further- what you're getting at.. managing of components) anyway: groups are to prevent stickyness when necessary (like- if sketchup didn't have automerging of geometry, i'd hardly ever use them anymore except when simply making a selection set) components are for what they do. i mean, that's basically what it boils down to for me but probably not any clearer to explain them that way.. i do think (fairly strongly) they both have their place in sketchup though and don't think it would be too wise to eliminate groups from the program.

@tcalvinsimmons said: Is the current FaceFront ruby current with SU 2015 version? I downloaded it and installed it in my Plug in file but it doesn't show up. Any thoughts Hi Tom, Small world. So did you try installing it with the SCF PluginStore plugin? Or did you download the file as .rbz from here?

@Dave I have PM'd you my first draft of a RB... Please feedback...
