      I don't know if this has been suggested or considered but I don't think that listing plugins by publisher is very useful. I believe that listing them by the function each serves would be much better - at least from this newbie's perspective. Perhaps as a compromise between what is presently listed and what could/should be, is creating a table that contains all of these plugins. One could create this table using MS Acess (or other database), MS Word, or even Excel. In the attachment is a simple table I created using MS Word that others can comment on if they feel so inclined.

        There is work being done on plugin repositories. Expect to see something this year. Then things can be sorted as you like.

          Guys,

          just wondering if there is a plug-in that assists in drawing on uneven surfaces. I am looking to do some work with shipping containers and, as you probably know, they have a corrugated steel skin.

          I have tried tools-on-surface but that doesn't work too well with this type of surface (or at least it doesn't when I am using it!!!).

          Cheers....Scotty

            reference your question "just wondering if there is a plug-in that assists in drawing on uneven surfaces."
            Would setting cutting planes and intersecting work?
            Would using Drape, or Stamp from Sandbox Tools work?

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                I'll give it a go and get back to you.

                Thanks for the advice.

                  a bit far from the topic, but it is my strong need:
                  recently had strong need to "flightpath", and noticed that it is a long time that it hasn't been updated (and doesn't work for su8), so thought that if there is anyway to ask authors to update them? or any other ruby masters please?

                    thank you mitcorb, but I need Flightpath, that helps smooth animation, using selecting a path for camera movement... is there any other option?

                      Have anybody counted the number of plugins (even approximately)?

                        I guess it is theoretically possible to count all the plugins. There are many unpublished, I am sure. And, there probably are a significant number of sites offering plugins that I have never visited. Not all are free, as you know. And the unpublished ones, if any, would be held by those who don't wish to share or sell.

                            as an example, the Plugins page has around 891 and crai around 989 (with old versions/variants). And this does not include commercial plugins that are distributed via other ways, or company's internal tools.

                              Can you clarify by what you mean that it doesn't work for SU8? I use it in SU8 without problem.

                                Now I can't stop myself seeing an image in my minds eye of SU open on a dozen 21" monitors - somewhere hidden amongst it is the remaining 1 sq.inch of viewport, the rest all containing the ultimate toolbar hell! πŸ˜†

                                  All could even fit on one screen!
                                  (if every plugin has no more than 2 icons * 24px*24px). 😲 πŸ˜„

                                    it gives me a message that says need linetool.rb or something ( I am not behind my pc at the moment)

                                      Sounds like you must be using the "Pro" edition FlightPath2, as the "Free" edition, does not attempt to use any of the application supplied features in the "Examples" directory. (.. which is where "linetool.rb" resides.)

                                      I'm not here much anymore.

                                        I started using SU about a month ago and I see there is a lot of plugins here and there on different websites for windows, doors roofs;etc... which some redirect to here, but I always want to have the minimal amount of tools you know just the essential for an architect like walls, doors and roofs.

                                        Can someone make a recommendation or share a list of the more useful scripts or packages with toolbars preferably like the one from ValiArchitects or 1001bitPro is one better?

                                        Gracias...
