      I was aware of some of those issues, but not all of them - thanks for bringing them up.

      Unfortunately, I do not own or have access to a Mac, which makes it difficult to create a cross-platform version - or even a separate Mac version. My understanding is that they are all Mac specific issues.

      Thanks for the comments and interest.

      Hi

        Could you test it using Safari for Windows as the browser for the HTML? Would that give you a more accurate preview of what the Mac might be seeing?

        Just asking a question out my deep Ruby ignorance.

          Kelly,

          Safari may help remove some of the issues.

          Last time I tried Safari (about a month ago,) it wouldn't run on my computer. I'm the guy still running Windows 2000 Pro on an AMD Athlon 1800 with 256 MB RAM. It barely meets the minimum requirements of the latest softwares. I'll try it again.

          EDIT:

          On second thought, it wouldn't help. You can't tell SketchUp to use one browser over another. I think it always uses Internet Explorer for WebDialogs. Unless someone knows something I don't...

            Mover has a feature where it will move an object by an amount determined by the objects size if the DIST amount is zero or blank. It works since the plugin only supports moving one thing at a time. If I wanted to move multiple selected objects, this feature becomes less useful (if it was useful to begin with.)

            I wanted to know of anyone uses this feature, and if anyone would be unhappy if I removed it in favor of adding the ability to move multiple selected objects?

            I find this to be usefull as GIdon, regarding the multiple copy will it be possible to copy in in x,y,z at the same time as in autocad, rows colums and levels? this would be very very usefull. Thank you for all your great work on this.

              This is a great plugin that I have already used a number of times, and found to be very useful.

              Would it be possible to further enhance the rotation tool so that one could specify an axis?

              I am sometimes frustrated by SU when I need to rotate an object, which is in free-space, as the native rotation tool defaults to Z axis, unless there is a face to reference from. If I need to rotate a line, I have to draw a face, possibly pull it up to get a vertical face, and the lock the axis from that. Then after the rotation there is useless geometry to erase.

              If Mover could fill this shortcoming in SU I would really appreciate it.

              I know that Rotix.rb has this functionality in it already, but it would be nice to have an all-in-one tool.

              Plus the Rotix.rb plugin always uses the center of the object as the rotation point, perhaps you could let us specify any point as the origin for rotation?

              Thanks for considering these thoughts.

                    Hi, Jim
                    I use this plugin every day - it is a big time saver for me. I have some suggestions - can we have an option to use components/groups axis instead of model axis. And since You have a simple shell plugin can we have a scaling function as an addition to move and rotate? Thanks.

                      Hi Jim!
                      May I humbly request to add "scale department" to your 'mover 2'?
                      With uniform\non uniform\random\by axis\ lock the component insert point features it'd be a killer plugin.
                      Thanks in advance.

                                    I sent that via email since it's a paid plugin.

                                      Lest everyone gets the wrong idea, I previously bought Makeorthoviews from SMustard but forgot I did so it was all above board that Jim sent me a copy rather than my having to download it again. 😄

                                        This was always a favorite plugin in my arsenal. Nothing else works quite like this! I hope it "plays well" with the other plugins.
