      Hi, I'm searching for a plugin (if exist...) that do this in one shot (like "draw a box" in sketchy solids):

      1. draw with mouse inputs a coplanar polyline closed.
      2. extrude (mouse input)
      3. make a group

      Thanks in advance

        If you're going to use the mouse to draw the polyline and extrude the shape, what do you need the plugin to do. You can't get much simpler than what already exists. A couple of keyboard shortcuts to pick the tools you need and you're good to go. And the shortcuts exist already.

          Hi Dave I know that you say, but I think in my way I don't need to make groups of entities (interferences with new lines) present before and select and proceed with others commands: it's like working in isolation group mode...

            Its sounds handy. I wrote something similar for myself that made drywall (sheetrock) in 3 clicks. One at each corner, then one in the direction to extrude. It made the geometry and extruded it and grouped it and put it on a drywall layer. Yours is only slightly different where you would want to allow multiple clicks. The programming is a bit different than what my tool needed, but its totally do-able. Maybe put a request in the plugins form. See if anyone has some time to make it. I'm currently out of time in my life ๐Ÿ˜ž

              cc, try the attached plugin. maybe it does what you want. with the mouse, pick a start point, move mouse to opposite corner of rectangle and pick a point. point 3 sets the height of the "box" which is group.


              creates a grouped "box" from 3 pick points.

              Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                sdmitch,

                Dude you rock, you are fast on the code, thanks mate for stepping up in our needs.

                I've been wishing for something like this for SU, I'm wondering if you could look at it, ponder it, and maybe even if it's a huge endeavor consider making it either free or commercially.

                  don't the sketchy physics solids "create a box" do that?

                  โ€œThere are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.โ€

                  http://www.Twilightrender.com try it!

                    I'm sure it does and no doubt a much better job.

                      Your estimation of my abilities are far from reality. I'm still a novice. Something like archipelis is way beyond me.

                        I'll contact Dale Martins (Whaat) and see if he has time.

                          Pete,

                          Have you tried TGI3d? The new image matching feature does this type ofbehaviour to a degree.

                          Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp ๐Ÿ“–

                              TGI3D Amorph = $149
                              TGI3D Photoscan = $999

                              Archipelis 3d = 19 Euros
                              Archipelis Designer = 38 Euros

                              And Archipelis has SU integration...i know TGI3D probably has more powerful mesh manipulation features, but...

                              -.-
