      there is a CAD application that I used that would interpret the height of contours in plan by the user drawing a section line. Another idea to specify the relative heights.

      This sounds very complicated, I'll see what I can do.

      Does it work with lines? If not, could you adjust it to work with lines? The user would click on a line and the script would select all connected and move it vertically by 1 unit, then 2 units, 3, etc.

      No, it works only with faces. I think I can add that, it will take some time, though.

      Thanks for trying it out.

        No rush, it might be a nice feature to add if you feel like adding something. Thanks!

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

          rami, Add this code to the onLeftButtonDown def. It will handle the edges or curves.

           best.pushpull dist,false
          else
           best = ph.picked_edge
           unless best==nil
            @clickno += 1
            dist=@clickno*@step
            trans=Geom;;Transformation.translation([0,0,dist])
            unless best.curve
             edges=best.all_connected
             verts=[];edges.each{|e| verts<<e.vertices}
             verts.flatten!; verts.uniq!
             verts.each{|v| Sketchup.active_model.entities.transform_entities(trans,v)}
            else
             Sketchup.active_model.entities.transform_entities(trans,best.curve)
            end
           end
          
          

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

                          Have you the same but only for lines ? ( with no PushPull of faces )
                          Like this
                          only lines are moving with Stepped Extrude , and there is no creation of faces !

                          like a creation of levels of terrain for example πŸ˜„

                                a Need of previous history Amount/Distance . . . .

                                means create 2 face and use this tool and 1st face extrude 1 m. and 2nd face extrude the same amount . . .

                                now its not working . . . . .

                                thanks . . . .

                                Thank you,

                                  Simple, functional, useful and free...what more can one ask for. Well done πŸ‘

                                      Thanks for a much useful plugin. I had coded something similar in AutoLisp a few years ago to do this in Autocad, precisely for stairs and contours.

                                      ... interpret the height of contours in plan by the user drawing a section line.

                                      This sounds very complicated, I'll see what I can do.

                                      I think this could be simpler than it sounds, maybe one of the forum's rubymasters could help out with the code. Here's how i would imagine it:
                                      Method 1, should work with lines:
                                      -User draws a line across the contours he wishes to raise and sets H=riser height.
                                      -Plugin figures if it's a generally horizontal or vertical line (is that necessary?)
                                      -Plugin finds all intersection points and makes an array ordered based on their X (or Y?) coordinate
                                      -Plugin traverses array raising each line by H x its index in the array.

                                      Method 2, perhaps this is the solution for faces?
                                      -User selects all faces that need to be raised (by window or select all or whatever... if one by one, it's just the current method)
                                      -User draws a line L through all said faces
                                      -Plugin filters out non-faces from selection and makes an array as above, ordered by X or Y coordinate of mid-point of segment created by intersection between line L and each face.
                                      -Plugin traverses and raises as above.

                                      Hope this makes sense!

                                            pilou: It really should work with lines. About your request, what does the 'list' option do?
