You're mixing everything up Box. People carry you carrying the groceries!

good spot!

@airwindsolar said: I should have been more clear on altitude; I mean in the sense of aligning an alt/az mount, so it would actually be pitch. The vertical angle(pitch?) measured from the +Z axis would be Math::acos(nrm.z)

@panixia said: ...can you elaborate this? what is this supposed to do? it opens a 'fresh' version of SU with an empty skp attached... this eliminates corrupt materials, model definitions, etc... If it still crashes, then Plugins or Graphics issues can be looked at next... john

There's no uploaded example Tom! Welcome by the way!

Rich, I can fully understand your position. I was just struggling to try to find some way to make it easier to find the tips and tricks that people post. Sometimes I remember seeing something but cannot find it. The search facility is OK but many times it does not get me to what I am looking for. The other thing is that many times the search engine will point to a thread but what you are looing for is buried in the middle of a big string of posts. I know there is no perfect solution but I was trying to find a way to organize the many great pieces of information people share in this forum. My original post was trying to find a mechanism, like a flag, that would maybe provide a more efficient way to find/retrieve information. I do not know how the backend of the forum engine works but I assume it is a database. Again, in the back of my mind, I was thinking about a facility that would allow someone (moderator or poster) to add the flag which would popup a dropdown list of categories (SU Tools and Plugin names) that could be associated with the post. Then the search engine would allow you to select by those flags so the individual post could be retrieved without having to find it buried in the middle of a long thread. I like your thought of putting together some way (like a vote) to get feedback on whether people would be interested in a facility like that.

Yep, I agree with Thom and most of the comments here. I have had mine for years and only use it for positioning 'cameras' and for getting the view out of walls/tables/the floor when it gets stuck. It is also really fun in Google Earth!

Modified example with a door in 4 positions: The plugin scenes_v2.rb is limited to 4 trigger positions. Scene animation does not work correctly. The properties of the DCs are not remembered in the scenes. They are triggered from 1 to 4 no matter what scene you click on as next and how much scenes you have in the model. With an understanding of these limitations, the plugin should still be useful... door test

ahh Brilliant lol I never thought about reclicking on profile thanks

@fabcn said: Great tool, thanx TT! One question though: is there a way to automatically create quad faces on non-quadface planar surface (you seem to do it manually from 1:32 to 1:50). Two classical examples are: extruded plywood chair (such as in your example), or follow me road. I would like to avoid draw lines to make quad faces on the road surface or chair border. Is it possible? It could be very long process, and your tool seem to do great complicated things (likely to 3DSMax), and this simple thing seems not to exist... Maybe not that easy to program though!! Have a look at TIGs Split Tools: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43376 (Note this is actually 4 small scripts that need installing to make them work.)

I put all my plugins in a common place and then tell sketchup to look there. For me to go from 7 to 8 to 2013 to 2014 to 2015 to t016 is effortless. Since I am a plugins author and want my plugins to work with all these versions I want all of this to be seamless. If you are interested in how this works then PM me.

@srx said: You need to be more patient in reading. You missed this : @srx said: Today I found out that plugin has time limit. How to continue using it? @dimitri972 said: I fixed time expired problem. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/download/brjzmnqzbcv38fp/RichSectionv0.5.8FULLByDimitri.zip Author was't answering question for months. I tried to fixing expired issue and fixed. If this isn't wanting thing in this forum, you can delete my post. I don't know forum rules. I did see the link but did not understand that is was a fix for the plugin. The fix needs to be made to the version that is in the Plugin Store in SketchUcation (which is where I got the plugin). This means that everyone who downloads if from SketchUcation is getting a version that does not work. According to the info on the SketchUcation web site, it was updated 03-01 of 2015. There also is no mention of licensing, time out period, or cost for the plugin. Just trying to clarify so that others do not have the same problem although I saw that it has been downloaded over 12000 times. I would like some clarification on what is going on.

@panixia said: the faster way is to symply pick the "tile 1x" option from tru-paint right click menu. (or, if you prefer, type in your vcb "1*" which actually will lead to the very same result) thanks for pointing this out some "not every day" things one forgets so easily

@box said: Tig again. http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_DualDims It's a good plugin for batch editing units, but it also edits the text. Linked dims in other units than model units maybe are just not possible, Thank you for the link. It's useful.
