Thanks ever so much for the response(s) - I will give it a try!

@Tomot You are over thinking this. You will need some spaces in any language's code, so that the 'parts' can be differentiated by the interpreter. The only errant spaces you have flagged up so far are the ones I had previously warned against, and had been advised against in the earlier versions of Ruby too - because although they were 'tolerated' they could be deprecated and become unacceptable... and now they have been! To reiterate... A ' method' can sometimes take an argument or arguments [ .upto(666), .add_line(pt1, pt2), etc] - these arguments are always best passed inside parenthesizes ()... The opening ( should come immediately after the last character of the method, with no space between them. So all you need to do is search for ' (' and then decide it you make it into a simple ' (' when it occurs immediately after a method. Some spaces in code are 'optional' and using them simply helps 'readability' when editing - just like consistent indenting of code-blocks will - but again that was ever so: e.g. xx=12.3 v. xx = 12.3 From what I've seen of your screen-grab images, you have sometimes included other () in parts of your code - sometimes they are not necessary at all. if xxx && yyy is fine. if (xxx && yyy) is too, but the () are NOT needed at all, unless you are nesting tests like this: if xxx && (yyy || zzz) when you need them... All v2014 Ruby2.0 has done is to stop accepting some syntax that was already advised against in earlier versions too. It has not 'moved the goalposts' - rather it has 'set them in firmer foundations'... The advantages of v2.0 far outweigh the inconvenience of tidying up old poorly drafted code. The few other minor changes in its methods, like 'array_to_string', actually bring it to be more aligned with other similar languages like Perl... These changes are unlikely to affect the vast majority of scripts anyway, and if they do they do then it is easily spotted and resolved anyway... Be assured that if you scripts are updated and they work properly for you in v2014, then they should work for anyone else using the same version [and OS and Pro/Make***]. ***If in the unlikely event that one of your scripts contain some OS specific or Pro [v.Make] methods/code then of course, without testing your script on the alternative OS/Pro compatibility cannot be ensured - but that was ever thus...

@jim said: If you click the Fly-out menu, and select "Remove Collection from Favorites", are you able to remove it? hi jim, no, that is the point. remove collection gives you the selection of collection, which are at the bottom of the pulldown menue. this one is on the top..... stan [image: 9gVH_Clipboard02.jpg] [image: i0RG_Clipboard03.jpg]

Thank you for the profile advice. I will immediately do that. As for the OpenGL settings - I will experiment in that area. Thanks again.

I think that may just work.... Thank you sir!

You may have better luck getting an answer in the Skellion topic: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31947

Have a look there: http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/37-beginner/108-installing-sketchup-plugins

I was able to locate the toll free number in the email and got someone who resolved our issue. Thanks.

Send me your Makerbot and I will try it for you. Sorry, couldn't resist

@unknownuser said: I have a bunch of plugins and don't want to blame a plugin, because some times it is a combination. You should! Plugins must play well with others. Plus, sometimes a conflict is really easy to fix. Anyway, in this case it was not a conflict, it was easy to fix, and I would have never see it if users didn't tell me

@rudbeckia You can try with JoinPushPull, Vector mode with the option Project to plane, as shown here. Otherwise, enclose the terrain in a big box and Intersect / cleanup Fredo

Okay, I feel pretty stupid. I was looking at the page linked from the Extension Warehouse and forgot I wasn't in the Sketchucation thread. I saw no replies and wondered if it was a dead plugin or something. But there are 15 pages of replies in the actual thread. Maybe I need a new, stronger brand of coffee?

You should consider downloading a demo version of Rhino and running the Shell command. I'm assuming you're just printing the outside volume of these buildings, therefore you don't need floors. Shell will do what I think you're looking for.

and they did away with the rating and comments for each model (also IMO very good)

Phlatscript, now named SketchUcam, does export to g-code. Use the 3D Text tool to make the letters, and uncheck the Extruded option. I am just assuming you are trying to export 2D screen text..

there was a problem with LO13 which crashed during startup in connection with special characters in user names. Which then was fixed with LO of SU13M2. Norbert

One of the SU videos might help - I think it's called 'inference locking'.

If you mean why did I rollback the driver, it is suggested by windows to do this if performance problems are an issue. I interpreted this as one reason for the BSOD and display problems. Using available tools through Windows Control Panel was my first approach. After about 3 reports to wherever it is sent, I got back a response in the "Solve PC issues" system tray message thingy that Hewlett-Packard personnel wanted to have a crack at this. But the dataform presented was all about laptops, not desktops, and this just looked like another deadend backwater path to travel down. EDIT: If you mean why did my profile say 2013? That was an oversight which I have corrected herewith. I am still using 2014, and this is the version in which I am experiencing this issue.

That's kool Seasdes, it does sketchup thumbnails and you can drag in drop into sketchup? Looks like it's free or €10 donationware http://www.irfanview.com/ Good news pbacot... @unknownuser said: Q: Can I use IrfanView on Mac? A: Yes, probably. There is no native-Mac version of IrfanView. However, you can use IrfanView in conjunction with Mac program like WineBottler/DARWINE. Take the ZIP version of IrfanView and unzip it or copy your existing Windows IrfanView folder to Mac. This is easier because the installer may need additional Windows DLLs to run.

That must be it. Thanks again, -Brodie
