dtrarch,

That looks like a HTML file.

Try right-clicking this link, then select Save Link As (or Save Target As) to download the file.

Updated to create a shell from selected surface, in addition to a selected Group.

See First Post.

Cool! But the same with scale from a opposite point will be also useful

Somehow I did download the html.
Your link worked perfect and thank you so much
OK for SU V8 pro too.
Very handy tool.

Hi,

Thanks sahi,

Yes, my plugin is almost exactly the same as yours - I may not have written another if I knew one already existed.

One reason it couldn't be found is the topic lacks the [Plugin] text that is used by the Plugins Index, and so is not listed. I have requested the mods add the tag so the plugin will be listed.

That's my fault. I have not posted it here. (But that was long ago 2008)

Group Many times，but can;t work……
at last
it works on the component……
why。。。。。。。。。

Jim

@sahi: Your Scale to_cm plugin is now listed inthe Index.

@unclex: I need more information. Open the Ruby Console Window, then use the plugin. Are there any errors displayed in the Ruby Console?

Yesterday I start fiddling around with a small test project that thickens a surface. I've not uploaded it here at SCF yet, but it's available at BitBucket if you should be interested.

It works well on the simple stuff I just tried it on. Very cool, thanks. (Now, I make a request about Solid Inspector...)

thomthom

Let me know of cases where it is not working so wwell. I have also trief only with simple stuff.

Updated the Shell plugin with a tool. Also available for users here at SCF: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39308
