@jfeldman175 said: I downloaded the plugin but I need to access the RoundCorner tool in Sketchup 2014. How do I find the tool? Did you also get/install the newest Lib Fredo from the PluginStore? That is need by most of Fredo's tools to work. Once set up properly these tools have Toolbar and/or Menu/submenu entries - this is clearly explained in each tool's main pages...

@alexschreyer said: I ran into a problem a while ago where I needed area centroids of irregular planar shapes. Since I couldn't find an appropriate SketchUp plugin, I used Rhino that time. The attached plugin adds this functionality to SketchUp. Contrary to some plugins that I found, which use the centroid of the bounding box (and then add a construction point there), this one calculates the actual centroid accurately for any polygon (hence any shape in SketchUp). It also provides the area (more for reference since SketchUp spits this out anyways) and the area moments Ix, Iy, Ixy. Please give this a try and let me know if you run into any usability, calculation or proper plugin programming issues. Some limitations: Shapes must be drawn on the ground (x-y plane) and calculation accuracy is limited by polygon accuracy. Plugin webpage (available soon): http://www.alexschreyer.net/projects/centroid-and-area-properties-plugin-for-sketchup/ plastic characteristics of cross sections are sometimes needed too... is it something that could be added to the plugin? because [anchor= goto=:1n1fsrz0]http://www.skpengineering.com[/anchor:1n1fsrz0] is not avalaible anymore

@solo said: Actually all the models are separate skp's so I want to render them all from the same view, ... Actually the correct protocol would be to create a template skp with the desired view. Then use that template to create the model skps.

Try this one Put Component on Face by CPlassais! not ultimate version but...works for groups/ components! Tab = Multicopy 5 = reverse face +- = increase decrease : 1° or 1 unity at the start of the function begin, end, 7, 1 = Rotation arows, 8,4,2,6 = Translation backspace = Undo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZp4yuImVhQ [image: faces_faces1.jpg]

Never mind, for some reason I am now able to log in. I did reset my password to the same one but I am up and running now, thanks for going through this with me.

If you have the 2014 Pro no need of Booltools! Booleans are native!

Actually I wasn't paying attention to the date of the thread I was looking at. It was from 2009. I got Topo Shaper plug in instead, which is much more powerful. Sorry for the bad post.

@arnau said: Hey! I wonder if there is any plugin able to extrude multyple faces, where the extruded length of every single face should be proportional to his area. Any help? Thanks in advance:) If not, this might do def extrude_by_area mod = Sketchup.active_model # Open model ent = mod.entities # All entities in model sel = mod.selection # Current selection @min_extru = '1'.to_l; @max_extru = '5'.to_l ans = UI.inputbox(["Minimum Extrusion;","Maximum Extrusion;"],[@min_extru,@max_extru],"Extrude by Area") if ans sel.empty? ? ents = ent ; ents = sel @min_extru,@max_extru=ans;min_area=1e9;max_area=-1e9 ents.grep(Sketchup;;Face).each{|f| min_area=[min_area,f.area].min;max_area=[max_area,f.area].max} rng_area = max_area - min_area; rng_extru = @max_extru - @min_extru ents.grep(Sketchup;;Face).each{|f| extru = (f.area-min_area)/rng_area*rng_extru+@min_extru; f.pushpull extru} end end

I just tried this plugin, to no avail. For me, it ignores everything except dynamic blocks, and does not preserve layers. Feel free to check the DWF and SKP Import files yourself if you're curious. I'm currently awaiting an answer to an email I placed to Simlab Support. I'm been extremely unimpressed with both their products and their support team's attitudes in the past, so I'm really hoping they'll improve on prior experiences. I'm thankful it's a trial version. Here's the DWF (zipped because the forum doesn't accept DWF) ...and the results of import.

Always very funny to use! [image: z6KK_soap5.jpg]

worth mentioning however that if you create a low resolution TIN and it has a complex shape (like you made it with Soap Skin Bubble, or you have cut it after stamping) you might get some problems. Therefore if the plugin had automatic smoothing either after or before creating it, it would be very good. Example... only move in the vertical vertexes that are at least 5 vertex from each other (or set a distance in meters instead of number of vertexes) and then the ones in the middle have their height calculate based on average/medians?

Wow Thanks Box. I never knew about snipping tool. Great feature

Hi there. See this: http://www.3skeng.com/en/index.htm Not necessarily the exact solution.

2D or 3D Puzzle? Same form of piece?

I think you're right dedmin. No problem Fredo, it's looking better at every stage. WOrth waiting for I'm sure. Regards, Joe.

The main error message is telling you it can't load ' extensions.rb' Many Plugins will require that file as they load. It belongs in the main 'Tools' subfolder. This copy/pasted into the Ruby Console will open it for you. UI.openURL("file:////#{Sketchup.find_support_file('Tools')}") This is typically: C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\Tools But it might vary depending on your system and installation preferences... That folder must contain three .rb files. These ship with SketchUp and install as part of its standard installation package extensions.rb sketchup.rb langhandler.rb It also contains the ' RubyStdLib' subfolder, containing the latest Ruby files. The three files should NEVER be in the Plugins folder... You should never use copies of these files from earlier SketchUp versions as they are not necessarily the same code... As you have ' Ruby' related errors too, then I suspect another potential issue... perhaps you have not upgraded v2014 ? The initial v2014M0 had a known issue... This is that if you launch SketchUp by opening a SKP that is on a drive that is NOT the same as the SketchUp.exe drive letter it messes up the $: and that causes issues with the Ruby files loading... If this is the case get the latest v2014M1 and install that... Typing $: in the Ruby Console should return a list of folder paths including the main ../Tools and ../Tools/RubyStdLib folders, if these do NOT have the same drive letter - e.g. C:, then it means you do not have v2014M1 installed, since that update fixed this issue. Note that opening SketchUp from the menu and then opening a SKP should NOT produce such errors in v2014M0... But if you have messed around with folder contents etc it's a sure recipe for disaster! Try repairing the SketchUp installation, hopefully the missing files will return ???

i have the same error in sketchup 2014.
