      πŸ€“ Hi everyone,

      I am een middelaged dutch guy who is very interested in working with sketchup and kerkythea. So i spend the last month(s) on learning the getting started from sketchup en kerkythea. Also i asked some questions on this forum.

      And i must say, it helped me a lot. Today i did my last tutorial, and i think that i have know enough knowledge to make my first project and render.

      So i would like to thanks everyone on this forum, and next week i deliver my first project and then can everyone shoot there critics and comments.

      My english is not my best, but i hope everyone understand what i'm meen

          Hello All in the community.
          I would to say that I am ecstatic about this resource and grateful to all those who have answered my questions. Thank you!

          I have more questions though. I wanted to know what some of the errors mean and if there is a forum already established to discuss the issue?

          Example of my load errors:

          Error Loading File cracking.rb
          undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File delaunay.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File export_points.rb
          undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File hull.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File pointify.rb
          undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File recursive.rb undefined method add_item' for nil:NilClassError Loading File tooling.rb
          No such file to load -- tooling/cracking.rb

          Thanks for your help!

            Ruby Forum here...
            What is 'cracking.rb' that seems to be causing this error ?
            Look in your Plugins Folder...

              hello,
              am interested in parametric, bim, data, 3d modeling aspects (though aware of su's "fake" curves).
              revit arch's massing and site tools are clumsy and erratic.
              autocad is... autocad. πŸ‘Ώ
              so, i guess i'm always looking for something that works better.
              and am often working with sites (contours, grading)

              enough for now.

                Hi scrub and jane, and welcome to the forum.

                If your interested in parametric stuff be sure to have a look at sketchups dynamic components. Theyre not full BIM but they do go some way towards it.

                        You should have no problems viewing images in the gallery section as long as you are logged in, can you try again while logged in and let me know if this still persists?

                                    I am a new user. I want to add a camera_recorder plugin. I am using Mac 10.5.8
                                    Sketchup 7. I go to the Applications folder to Sketchup, but there are no extra folders other than the allpication. No plugins folder. How do I add the plugin?

                                      Hi Rhett, and welcome. I wrote the plugin, but I am not familiar with Mac's at all. Though I've never heard anyone say that there was no plugins folder. Perhaps you are in the wrong location? I do not know though, I am very unfamiliar with their inferiorOS. Parhaps someone else who know the Mac system can help?

                                      You also might get a better respone if you ask in the camera_recorder thread. That might get more people's attention who are already familiar with the plugin.

                                        Hey all... I'm a total noob here. I've done some playing around with a 3-d program called anim8or, and had heard of SketchUp on an old tv profile, most likely about the whole autistic user thing (it's been a while since), but only decided to download and try it today.

                                        I'm currently obsessed with some serious modifications of Nerf Maverick guns (trying to make one self-contained semi-auto, using compressed air or CO2), and designing and implementing Steampunk mods to them. I thought I might be able to use SketchUp to 'trial and error' my appearance mods (the Steampunk stuff), but of course that means I need to:

                                        1. Learn how to make things in SketchUp
                                        2. Learn how to manipulate things in there as well, and
                                        3. Make an accurate model of the toy as it exists (pre-mod)

                                        Sadly, I've always found it difficult to learn by going through tutorials (though the starter ones I went through were well done, but I'm impatient πŸ˜’ ), and generally prefer to dive into a project I actually WANT to do, and then start over as necessary to undo irreparable errors as I learn how to do things... I know, horrible way to learn, eh? But I usually get frustrated with not learning things that ACTUALLY immediately apply to my desired project, just to get to where there might be things I DO need for it... sigh. 😒

                                        So my problem is this: After having figured out that I had to cut the inside hole of a cylinder BEFORE pulling it into 3d, THEN make it into a component, I made the 6 barrels of my maverick, then had a heck of a time getting them even close to the right locations (leading to first question: is there any way to get it to allow me to move to wherever I want the object to be, instead of snapping to axes, object points, random passing dust motes, etc?), once willing to leave them where they lay (including the one that insisted it was aligned with an axis, but was visibly a small amount lower than the others), I then added the secondary cylinder to bind them together as a unit, but this needs to pass through each cylinder... leading to my second question. Is there some way to erase a segment of an arc, without losing the remainder, and thus allowing me to get rid of the parts of the cylinder on the inside of my barrels, while keeping the parts binding the outsides together?

                                        Sorry it's so long, and I'll be happy to edit/move/delete this whole thing, if this is too much for this part of the forum... 😐

                                        Thanks in advance for your patience...
                                        Asuka

                                        (P.S. How do I add an avatar to my account? I went to where I THOUGHT my account info et al would be, but couldn't find an option to customize avatar... or anything else for that matter... ❓ )

                                          Here is where you can edit your avatar:

                                          As for your rather specific questions - best would be to ask them in a separate topic (these posts will soon be buried under new members' posts) but first of all, attach some images and maybe even the problematic parts as skp file (below the text area you are writing your post, there is an "Upload attachment" tab). Sometimes it's hard to exactly imagine where you slipped away from the right track

                                            Sorry for being a dunder head... All I needed to do was hit myself in the head, and go through the basic tuts... sigh. A huge THANK YOU!!! goes out to Erick Lay for his awesome tut on text carved into a cylinder! The 'Intersect Model' was just what I needed. Now I just gotta get everything aligned. I'll leave this forum, and be sure to address future queries in other places. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for being a dork... (T_T)
