      Does anyone have or know where i can find a ruby to adjust line weights in sketchup and/or layout? It would be fantastic to be able to a sign differnt lineweights for differnt objects on seperate layers.

      Thanks

        What kind of lineweights do you mean? SketchUp supports different lineweights by using different styles. But unfortunately you can't display more than 1 style at a time.

          I am talking about having multiple line weights and color options available for just the linework of a model. This is mostly for plan view.. lets say I want the edge of the building to be a thick black line, the sidewalk edge to be dark thin line, and the score joints to be a faided back gray line. Is there any options for having that kind of flexiablity with lineweights. This would help my drawings read alot better.
          thanks

            Think TIG's 2D Tools does this.

              And Layout does this in the new 7.0 or maybe 7.1 version. You turn the drawing to vector based, and then you can control the lineweights individually I think.

                My 2D Tools Line Style lets you give width, dot-style and color to selected lines - these are actually face proxies on another layer but look line lines and are editable later for thickness, style and color...
                Line styles are typical CAD - continuous, dot, dash, dash-dot, center, hidden, phantom and any custom style defined by dots and spaces ... .... ... etc
                Works on edges in 3D placing thickened-line on face squarest to camera etc...

                  TIG's tools are great but they change the linework to a group of planes. I was thinking something more like an option in the layers menu, where you could choose thickness, color, and style while still retaining the phisical capabilites of a line, similar to CAD. Maybe this isn't possible.
                  It seams like the layers menu is close with the coloring box but this option only changs the planes not the linework.

                    Moved the thread to the Developer's forum. We have reorganized so that the Plugin section is only a list of plugins you can download and use. πŸ€“
