      iPhone support! I understand how hard it would be to develop this in a touchscreen base, but we should at least have the viewer.

        Guides/constructions for circles and arcs.
        Arc completion/complement/extend.
        Incorporation of SketchyPhysics or similar
        Allow polygon to be created from the midpoint of a side in addition to the vertex (i.e. inscribed and circumscribed polygons)
        Make all/any sub-window stackable and dockable. Make them pull out in a tray so they don't overlay the tool icons across the top or side.
        Valuable real-estate is lost to the right of the "help" menu choice, make use of it.

          I vote -- screen lock. πŸ‘ I am tired of rearranging my toolbars after i accidently bump the screen off of maximize. I am not even sure how that happens, it just does.
          😑

          If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

            The plugin for Center of Gravity is great, but it's slow and doesn't work well for repeated usage of components.

            The center of mass should be built in, automatic and faster. Right click and choose "point at Centroid" to mark it
            Materials need a density attribute so that you can find out how much an object weighs when painted with it.

            Acceleration due to gravity should be adjustable.

              A feature I would like to see would be an HTML box. Obviously, it would need some limits to not become a security risk.

              I'm using Sketchup to document multiple theatrical type venues in our building. I would like to be able to use dynamic attributes to record information about lighting fixtures such as: (DMX Address, channel, lens degree, purpose, profile, etc...) I would like to have a standardized information table that can be displayed in certain views for each of the lighting fixtures. The reason for HTML is formatting of the information; some rows might be in larger fonts, some columns might be in bold, etc....

              Over time fixtures will be moved around, repositioned, etc... and I would like the information to move with the components.

              A static HTML box would be a nice first step. An even better next step would be limited javascript that would have the ability to extract information from the model. For instance the HTML box could be associated with either the model in general or a specific component. Then it could retrieve information from dynamic attributes and so forth based on what is associated with.

              Further have these HTML boxes carry over into Layout.

                  Hi Thomas,

                  I've seen a lot of good work and feedback from you on this site.

                  I was thinking of some HTML boxes really being shown in the sketchup interface just like a texture/photo on a face. It could be free floating though. I'm thinking of maybe 10-150 of them floating around the screen at one time depending on the zoom level of the model. Further they would be on layers that can be shown/hidden etc.... Basically think of it just like the existing text box, but with a whole lot more rich text formatting options, but not exactly 3D (like the 3D text tool).

                  Do you know of a good example to get started from? I've got some programming background, but I'm brand new to Ruby. I know I could make a dynamic component and then when the user clicks on it could trigger a script which shows the webdialog. However, this would not work simultaneously on multiple components. Please correct me if I'm wrong, again if you know of an example I could start from....

                      I just want SU to be more of a CAD application. That would do me fine. (And of course to include every single brilliant plugin made to date including sketchy physics etc etc πŸ˜„ ).

                      Together we can smash the 3DS Max machine! πŸ˜†
