    Installed and works as advertised. Also, like the additional button.

    Thank you.

      Ahhhh ... changed already. I added a red dot to the original set to show the association between related buttons.

      CAD father's, as always, are nice icons.

          Hey Matt:

          Could the new values created when the accuracy buttons are clicked, be displayed somewhere such as in the Task Bar or better yet when the mouse is put over the top of button?

                  Only the 10th and 11th icon work on my Mac version. Also, as mentioned previously, the buttons stay depressed even when you press a different one.
                  Also, there is not much difference in the gray color between pressed and not pressed for the "Dec" button (when it is in its "not-pressed" condition it is already grayed out, but not quite as much as when it is pressed). See Attachment.

                  When I get it working it will be of significant value since I often work with both decimal inches and feet/inches.

                    Is there anyone else that is having trouble with this plugin with Sketchup 7.1.6860. It will change the precision but not the units.

                    Thanks in advance.

                        max, what problems is this new version supposed to solve? the copy I have installed works fine but for one thing: the buttons stay depressed even when you press a different one. by the way, I am on mac running the latest snow leopard.

                          Matt, Thank you for this! πŸ˜„

                          one question.. how can i assign a keyboard shortcut to one of them? or is it not possible?

                          also, the units redraw only when i click on the screen or (press the esc key) - is that to do with screen refresh? if so is there any way to make it refresh automatically?

                              Somehow I missed this post. So today I tried this post. I now have a toolbar with no icons showing. It seems the icon should now be in another directory. I haven't moved the icons until I know this is what is at fault.

                              Also, after selecting Fract in the plugin menu, the plugin stop working until I select to top selection.

                              So was the attachment you had posted, was that for my problem or a MAC issue.

                              And what happen to Matt666?

                              Would like some help, I find this a very valuable plugin.

                              Thanks in advance.

                                      I know work. Was busy until recently. So now I was presented with some down time and in the process of trying to take care of some problems I had let slip. Food and shelter is always first on my list. So Matt666, let me thanks you for the script again.

                                      blajnov, thank you for the updated. Not sure why I couldn't find this update on the site, but I couldn't. The scrip now works just like it did before. Not my plugin or my site, but maybe this update should go to the front of the topic. Anyway, again, thanks to all that helped.

                                      Now lets hope the new cap works and work can start again.

                                          Here is the script.
                                          Toolbar to change drawing units quickly.

                                          Hi -- I may not be understanding what this tool does, or how units work in Sketchup; I am frustrated because I can't do what seems to me a simple thing.

                                          Here is the deal. I am working on a model in non-metric units (feet and inches). But I have paper sketches from a colleague in Norway who has annotated his drawings in decimal meters. I'd like to reproduce his hand drawing directly into my model by copying it exactly, so I'd like to work on a set of components in meters or mm. To my surprise I could find nothing in Preferences for toggling from metric to inch and back. So I thought that Toggle Units plugin might enable me to switch the whole model from inch to mm or cm.

                                          I installed it. But it seems to toggle units only between different representations of inches (the first 4 buttons); the other buttons (mm, cm, mt) are grayed out and inactive. I really want to toggle between metric and inch -- is there no way to do this? it seems such an obvious thing to want to do πŸ˜„ argh. would rather not have to use a unit converter and manually convert all the dims on my colleague's drawing!

                                          btw I am aware that I can draw in any units I like, i.e. enter dimensions in notation like "3.0m". what I cannot do is use the Ruler tool to verify those dimensions after drawing, because the ruler is apparently hard-wired to inch units. if I could just toggle the Ruler between inch and metric that would be great!

                                          any ideas would be gratefully received as this has got me bogged down right at the start of the project.
