I found this problem by nickchun
Stuck already!
by nickchun on Thu May 17, 2012 7:35 amHi,
I have just started to build a DC for a cupboard which seems to have gone well until I tried to add some component options. I added the option to change the width of the cupboard but the units do not add up. The width should be 700mm but the actual size is coming out at 201.7mm? LenY and LenZ are also wrong.
I can't make any sense of the sizes in terms of any possible metric to imperial conversions.
Can anyone help?
ThanksI used the calulator for finding scale factor ratio.... then I resized his cupboard.... then I was done

Here's an immediate uses condiction
The easiest way to say this:
If your are a Manufacture Engineer and a customer came to you with a part block that measured 0.024 in size and is mil to 10000 of a in. and he tell you that he want the same standards to the part your going to make him. And he want you to do this on the fly... and your are new to this company... and not trained to use their cad system... and your job will be on the line. You need to fine the points centers to set up the laser to cut the tool out. So you reach the easy to use google sketchup and it can't help either...because the block dimension are to small...to the fining of laser block centers Help! well who need this job any way.
Results:
Google sketchup way 0.024000 - sad, no job
Plugin scaleGroupFloat way 0.02400001 *1.0_in - happiness, job done, no job lostNow the resons why I wrote this scaleGroupFloat 3d scale resizer:
After reading some one hundred fifthy reseason on why Sketchup is Inacurrate???
I dicided to fix some of themInacurrate???

"There are posts scattered post throughout the net stating that Sketchup is innacurate. Is there substance in this claim or are they talking through their ear**?"Other reasons
-basic principles of surveying,
-mashtab 4: reads things ok but unable to resize to small units
-Is there any hope of making something visually noticeable about terrains or is it just too flat to to see -
A [x,y,z] mover;
Group Entity Translational moves can move to origin or any other [x,y,z] vector location
How its done in one simple steps.
- select, Enter x_y_z axes points and hit Enter
You shold be able to move anything, anywhere, very easily.
-
What can you do with this.
Scale and move group 3d entities:
A Example:
I download two things from google warehouseA boy with his toy,
And a full size car
I rescaled the car and moved its [x,y,z]Now I have a boy with his toys
Anything large can be made smaller to a size of a atom, or a atom resized to a moon. -

cumulativeScaler_dj
with cumulativeScaler_dj you can step thing to make stairs
To rotate about a edge step I used a bounding small box boxPoint by rotating upward 15x
then move a step group into bouning box set -
Fast alinement of any local axes to the orgin axes
Here is a fast rotation trick for a rotated component or a group
meathod: target save and target move
step 1: Make one component unique.( right click context list for making component unique )
step 2: Press 1-time left click, the component you want to change. Save target, via scaleGroupFloat_dj (then press ok).
step 3: Press 2-times with left button this will set axes to the component and 3-times more will edit the selection of the object. Using the Move to target toolbar, via scaleGroupFloat_dj.(now press ok) This will auto aline component to orgin plain. Now select ouside of component area, now your done.
All above steps is shown here
Also with the axes tool you can aline any local axes side to the orgin axes

Update:
Jan 13 2013 scaleGroupFloat_dj v1.5.5- expanded cumulativeScaler_dj (now dose xyz x y z scale,step move, step size and rotation)
new
...add thickness to objects
...dolling objects
- fix a better error trap
-added update a repeat move to target auto mode
(frist pass input box then more pressing the button go to auto mode repeat)
green target
-added update a repeat readout target auto mode
(frist pass input box then more pressing the button go to auto mode repeat)
white target
-added update use save to target to unfreeze the repeat auto modes
( this also will fix scaleGroupFloat_dj and cumulativeScaler_dj lock out by auto mode repeat)
red target
- added rescale to a very small one demcision (any direction local object) will be flatten to outline wire when you group explode you can then resurface by putting a line accross the retangle.
- added the dropping of a boxPoint to a 1d line or a 2d object to make 3d groups for resizing in on the orgin axes
5
- added the uses of the axes tool (right click move) to rotate objects by steps of orgin
(works with scaleGroupFloat_dj and cumulativeScaler_dj
- expanded cumulativeScaler_dj (now dose xyz x y z scale,step move, step size and rotation)

I was unable to download with IE9, I still don't know why it suddenly won't work with IE9 I tried setting my security way down. The pop up blocker was off. But at least Chrome worked.I have been putting in some volunteer work on these plugins for the past year so they are free to down load at this forum.

I made more memory space available by deleting older ver this may be the problem,
also re-link the atachment to this page.If you still have a problem please let me know.
