      Welcome! And thanks for sharing! πŸ˜„

      I recommend you read this article I wrote about SketchUp plugin developement: http://www.thomthom.net/thoughts/2012/01/golden-rules-of-sketchup-plugin-development/

      It described how you can build plugins to avoid potential clashes with other plugins. I saw the code and noticed you did not have your methods in a namespace module which might cause potential clashes.

          Dezmo,

          This plugin looks very useful. I hope you will find the time to develop it further. Can imperial units be used?

          Thanks,

          Paul

            Hi Dezmo,

            I see you keep editing your post (developing/reattaching the plugin?) which keeps it bumbed back to the moderation queue. πŸ˜„

            All right, next time it will appear instantly as I took you out of the "newly registered members" usergroup.

            Are you Hungarian, by the way (as you are in that usergroup, too)

            Gai...

                      There's absolutely no problem with that - in fact, I am glad you "listen" to ThomThom as he knows what he is saying and does it helpfully.

                      It's just usually unusual for very new members to start with a plugin topic. Otherwise this is the "practice" here: plugin authors keep changing the very first post of the topic to keep the plugin up-to-date there.

                      So welcome! πŸ˜‰

                            Do you need to provide all the older versions? It's a bit confusing to what file is the latest.

                                  Me, too. I guess because of those examples we have seen from time to time.

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

                                    I actually just made some tanks, something it never occured to me I'd need to model (there are some in the warehouse but didn't look like the ones I needed). But this plugin came a day or so late πŸ˜† . Might have helped with the basic shapes, but what I ended up doing is scaling and re-using the main components as much as possible to save bytes.
