Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. I've inquired of the smart minds but haven't gotten a response yet.

Paul, there'd be room on the boat if you wanted to do some drawing work while you're sailing.

All, Thanks for the advice on the .csv file. I'm pretty familiar with excel and its capabilities, and what I have works OK, but I have to do a lot of fiddling with the spreadsheet before I can get it into a useable state. What I found works really well is to pre-format a blank worksheet with all of the headers and column widths the way I want them, then hide the columns that I won't use. I then copy and paste the data from the .csv into the blank (cntrl+shift+end from the first cell of the .csv, then cntrl+V into the first cell of the .xlsx). So, no problem with getting the results I want after a few steps. I was just wondering if a plug-in existed that would do all of that output management up-front so I could export exactly what I want into the spreadsheet and save a few steps. Thanks, again, for your help! Frank

@gisdude said: @drafter x said: I can tell your working with architectural drawings. I'm going to say what most will not, and that is that architects are some of the absolute worst when it comes to drawing things precisely in autocad drawings. I beg to differ - engineers are the absolute worst at snaps, trims, etc. Not to mention there redlines on drawings... Agreed. Although many Architects are just as guilty.

A plugin to count how many plugins you have?

I got the edges cleaned up on the face of the letters. Is it possible to deal with the ones on the edge of the letters? So far every time I remove one (fn click with eraser on WIN) the whole surface is removed. Thanks again

Inscris toi sur le forum français ( other language), consulte l'aide, regarde les videos disponibles et quand tu bute sur un point quelconque post une question. Tu trouvera ici toute l'aide possible et plus. Bienvenue.

Hey I found this tool Point Merger Tools v 1.2 (25.81 KiB) Downloaded 1021 times [image: pic_0094.jpg] [image: pic_0089.jpg] I would like to have your example but since i don't here you can soften inter edges to make two surface of the mesh terrain select inter terrain max distance of gap [image: pic_0091.jpg] [image: pic_0092.jpg] now it shoud be good if the poly code count to high it will also lower the count, then do what I did above

Right, you do not need this. It was introduced in version 8M1 (Win 8.0.4007, Mac 8.0.4006)

A second view point? I only have pictures from the birds eye view. There are different pictures with different lightings.

Sure

Hi Gai, Thanks for the advice. I used your curviloft method from the link and it works really well! I made a solid group with a contoured top in 5 minutes... after a few failed attempts ofcourse. When the penny drops its quite simple. Cheers Mal

In addition to John's list, there are a bunch of online functions of SU - maybe the most relevant (as one would often use it) the Component dialog box which is directly connected to tjhe internet to search models in the warehouse.

this inflated funny one ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy_bdOA4NDs

Here square to circle

Thanks Jean Walter

Any little image for resume the problem ?

Seems it's not "Trimble tools" but GreenSpacelive tools for Trimble Sketchup ?

Yes i meant the frustum. No, you can only toggle the layers for "Camera_FOV_Volume" and "Camera_FOV_Lines". But switching these off will not avoid the clipping problems - like any large geometry in sketchup. But i have found another solution now to avoid these problems. I use the ACT-camera only to set up the scene and then i add a normal scene with the same settings and delete the ACT scene...
