      On an UK English keyboard a tilde ['~'] is just a shifted '#' sign? code= U007E
      On a FR keyboard isn't it the key to the left of the top line '1' key +shift ??
      or you should use the French keyboard shortcut = AltGr+é then a <space> [<then backspace> to remove the space!]- if there's no space it tries to put the tilde over the last typed character if it's an 'a' or 'e' etc ?
      On a FR Canadian keyboard I think it's Ctrl+Alt+; for the ~ ??

        Same as TIG describe: Alt Graphic + é twice then Backspace 😉
        Appuyer 2 fois sur é Alt Graphic étant appuyé : on obient curieusement 2 tildes (~~) puis Backspace pour en effacer un 😒

          salut Pilou sur mon clavier c'est : "Alt Gr + é" mais il faut le faire "é" fois et effacer une instance...

          comment c'est sur le tien ?

                  You type the Unicode '007e' then 'Alt+X'..... BUT it only works in MicroSoft tools like Word etc, and NOT in Sketchup!

                    yes but what is the key for start Unicode?
                    If I use Alt+.... it's finally open some shortcuts menu! 😳
                    (I just try with the NotePad and WordPad )
                    It's not vital 😉 As the more simple is copy past from the post here 😄
                    And I have it on my keyboard 😄

                      Alt+0126 writes a tilde [~]...
                      Into Sketchup Text objects and any dialog text-fields etc - the symbol appears when you release the Alt key 😄

                      Here's a useful list of all of the PC's 'Alt codes', used to get special symbols into your text... http://www.alt-codes.net/
                      Some are more useful than others like...
                      degrees Alt+167/248/0176 º°°
                      half Alt+171 ½
                      plus/minus Alt+241 ±
                      divide Alt+246 ÷
                      squared Alt+253 ²
                      cubed Alt+252 ³
                      bullets Alt+7/8/9/10 •◘○◙
                      cent Alt+0162 ¢
                      euro Alt+0128 €
                      French "" Alt+174/175 « »
                      Spanish inverted-qu'/ex'mark Alt+168/173 ¿ ¡

                      BUT ☺♪♫☼↨‼

                        Ah ok I must tranform hexa 7e in decimal! 💭 ☀ 😳
                        so 7E = 126 😒
                        Now all works fine 👍
                        Seems ALT + 126 ~is sufficient~

                              hi TIG,

                              Recently I did a project with lots of (high-polycount) trees and several camera positions. I really was missing some kind of LOD system. For instance, in one view some trees were very near and I wanted to use the high res version, in another view they were more in the distance and a low poly version would have speeded up the export of the views.

                              So I looked for an LOD system for sketchup and Google turned up your 'old' plugin. I tried it in Sketchup 8 (the clients preferred version) but I can't get it to work. See attached file (all the components should be saved inside). What am I doing wrong??

                              Regards, Max

                                You example SKP only contained instances that were called 'doos'.
                                If they had been named 'doos+' or 'doos-' or 'doos~' the Proximity WILL work.
                                So Select all of the 'doos' and use the context-menu option in the Components-Browser to replace all selected with 'doos-' ...
                                Run the tool and, depending on your settings and the instances distance from the camera, you'll get 'doos+' or 'doos-' or 'doos~' for each appropriate instance...
