      The flightpath rb at the Depot at crai is RickW's and should work fine and doesn't include any 'linetool' calls - it appears to be just the same as the Smustard.com one.

      require 'sketchup.rb'
      require 'linetool.rb'
      ...

      So that's why linetool is getting called when you run that version because he changed it to use that tool ! But note that NEITHER tool is perfect either.

      Perhaps Didier should consider removing one or both ?

        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...

        Hi Hugo,
        Here is a list of recommended SketchUp plugins for architects: http://www.cad-addict.com/2009/07/sketchup-list-of-plugins.html
        Both 1001 bit and Vali Architects' Instant Scripts are on the list!

          Hi, Jim:
          I would like to make a suggestion regarding the red comment on the list of "non-compliant" Toolbars. Perhaps an expandable red box around the list as it either grows or shrinks? This is after quickly viewing the index in this new webpage design. Maybe I missed something.

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

            Hi All...

            I am a newly registered user.... I am trying to use the search function to find the "Simplify Contours" ruby script in the Plugins Index.... with 0 results?!!

            Am I just plain stupid, or is this Plugin Index just poorly designed with a bad search field?

            Can anyone suggest how to find this ruby script?

            Thanks!

              Hi Brian,

              That's an original SketchUp (team) made script and hosted here (at the bottom): http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/download/rubyscripts.html

                Does anyone know of a good shadow analysis plugin for SU?

                Thanks.

                  Hey Victor...

                  Have you tried DavidBoulder's OpenStudio plugin / application combination ?

                  It's free as it was developed by the US Government lab NREL (US Dept. of Energy)

                  💭

                  I'm not here much anymore.

                    Thanks Dan.

                    I have not tried openstudio, I was on google looking for shadow plugins and found 1001Shadows and Shadow Analysis by Tomasz Janiak, Have you tried this last two?

                    Thanks.

                      No I do not shadow analysis, myself. Was just suggesting a possibility.

                        All,

                        Where can I get BASIC beginner info on plug ins. Step by step. I've downloaded the ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23 plugin and the LIBFREDO6_Dir_47 and have no clue what to do. Nothing shows up.. do I need to open something? Thanks!

                          @Jim: The [/hr] bbCode tag is no longer recognized, nor needed. It is rendering as plain text at the top of the index page (just below the horizontal rule.)

                              Thx but went thu all of the options and none worked. I'm a rank beginner regarding installing stuff and extensions. Perhaps need something easier.

                                No - it works both. Unless it explicitly says otherwise you can assume plugins work on both Windows and OSX.

                                Install the Simple Plugin Installer. It's an RBZ file which you install by using the "Install Extension" feature under Preferences > Extensions.

                                You can then use it to install the ZIP packages which Fredo's plugins comes as.
                                (Or rename Fredo's ZIP files to RBZ files and install them directly using the "Install Extension" button under Preferences > Extensions.

                                (Out of curiosity, why did you assume the Simple Installer was Windows only?)

                                  I was (again) looking at this tool since i wanted to make a walkthrough animation of my model.
                                  But flightpath only makes a lot of scenes without any respect of my camera values like angle of view.
                                  Flightpath (free version) only asked for start and endpoint, units per time and then changes into nothing more the a measuring device. I get a line fixed at the start point and then nothing only the distance in the right lower corner changes.

                                  Is there somebody who can fix or make a better rubby ?

                                    Have you read and understood the issues surrounding ' flightpath' and its clones.
                                    Some versions work and some have severe problems.
                                    All have a few issues...
                                    I suggest you return to the author's original at Smustard.com
                                    There is a simple 'free' or an inexpensive 'paid' version...

                                      Dear TIG,

                                      I did download the script (flightpath) from Smustard. I have read that there are issues.

                                      Why would I pay, even a small amount, for something I can't test or like you said and what is written under "issues surrounding flightpath" ?

                                      That is why I asked if there is somebody who can fix these problems and make a good one. Which I would be happy to pay for if it does what it promises : following a line, focus point or line, FOV, etc.

                                      Walking through your models would be a very very nice option.

                                      Best regards,

                                        As far as I know ' flightpath2' from Smustard.com is the best, and it's only $7 !
                                        It offers many more features than the older ' flightpath'
                                        Rick Wilson its author is available via Smustard and would field any issues/questions you might have... if anyone can 'fix' things or simply advise it's him.

                                            Good Day to You All,

                                            First, let me say that I am a big fan of Sketchup and an even bigger fan of some of the writers of my favorite ruby scripts that I see here all the time.

                                            Second, let me say that if I am posting this question in the wrong place, I apologize and please send me a message so that I can post it correctly.

                                            I have designed several small woodwork projects using Sketchup, with lots of happy results. I am currently designing a piece of furniture with curves in it. My problem is as follows: I have created a bezier curve on one side of the project and need to copy and flip the curve to the other side, so they are symmetrical. I cant seem to find a "mirror" or "flip bezier curve" script. Does one exist or can anyone suggest a way to do this?

                                            I have attached a picture of what I mean and hope someone can help. This is my first time posting in one of these forums, so if I have posted in the wrong place or didn't follow a specific protocol, I apologize.

                                            I look forward to hearing from someone. Many Thanks in advance.


                                            curve on the right, copy and flip to match same position on left making the curves symmetrical.
