Math or Paste in the VCB
-
And I tried with 2'/2 and it does not work either.
This would be a nice update feature if they can work it out. -

Gaieus, is the "%" instead of a "/" one of those differences between Euro and N. American standards like using periods instead of commas between each three digits of a large number.
A new one for me.

I agree math functions in the vcb would be great. Another design program I use has it, comes in real handy.

Dear All,
As a stop-gap, you might try using calc.rb which you will find at:
and filed under File-Converters-Misc. When you select it from the Plugins drop down menu it brings up a simple but perfectly adequate calculator, allowing you to work within Sketchup.
Kind regards,

Another stop gap measure would be to bring up or keep open the Ruby Console and type mathematical formulas in there. I do it all the time.
Hope that helps.

Is there any trick which allows for pasting into the VCB?

I would like to add my vote for equations in the VCB. This would be particularly helpful when scaling. Concerning the Ruby advice, when I tried it, division rounded to a whole number. Is this being controlled by the precision?

+1
that would be a fantastic feature!
