Hello Fredo6

In sketchup2013 normal display Chinese language, Chinese language does not show sketchup8M5 is still in English.
I LibFredo6 5.2 or higher

Thank you

I know and this is true for all languages.

This is related to the change of naming conventions. I need to republish.

In the meantime, just replace __Module = FredoScale by __Module = F6_FredoScale in the file FredoScale_ZH.lang

Fredo

Thank you, waiting for your new release!

1. For Curvizard Edge Prop, I had found the bug actually but forgot to republish

2. For BezierSpline, I have to investigate. This is old code and the tooltip may not reflect the correct alignment

Hi Fredo,

Is it normal dimensions differences in?

Maybe some rounding ... bug? I'm guessing it rounds in all situations, not considering the units used (and number of decimals) ?

I don't understand if this plugin can help me.

I have a non-planar surface close to a cylindrical surface; I want to extrude a region of the non-planar surface up to the cylinder to create a solid 3d joint between cylinder and the non-planar surface.

Can I use this plugin, or do I need another one?

If you want to project the bottom face of the cylinder down onto the surface then look at my ExtrudeEdgesByVector[ToObject] tool.
Edit the cylinder [group?] and copy the bottom face.
Exit the edit and use Edit>PlaceInPlace.
Select the face-copy [double-click].
Activate EEby..Object tool and pull a vertical [blue] vector down through your surface.
The face is extruded and stops on the surface...
With some finely divided surfaces the 'auto-trim' might fail, so in that case extrude through and manually intersect/delete parts.. With the simple 'toVector' version of the tool it extrudes through the surface - in that case then edit the grouped extrusion and Select its geometry and then use Intersect with Model: now Select [by fence] for the unwanted lower geometry and delete it.

I recall a while ago the question being asked how to rotate accurately say a cross brace in a fence [see below]

I'm drawing a louvre window and want my blades to be angled in 3D to accept shadowing but only want to open the blades to the point where the top of the blade is in the same horizontal line as the bottom of the blade above. This way in elevation I achieve a clean horizontal section as well as seeing depth in shadow.

For the life of me I have been trying to rotate the lourve blades using Fredoscale rotate but do not have the option to inference to the centre of the louvre blade overlap... [middle of the 12mm overlap]

I've attached the skippy to let you see what I'm doing as well as a short video.

I expect it is something really simple that will make me look like a goose [holidays will do that...

Andrew, try this:

Draw a short line segment along that horizontal guideline in the vicinity of where the corner of the bottom louver should be. You can then use Rotation by Selection and Angle of Plane (the red rotate icon) to rotate and snap to the line.

Select the bottom louver.
Get the red Rotate tool from Fredoscale.
Click on the center of rotation.
Click on the top corner of the louver.
Click on the top corner again.
Move the cursor over toward the line bringing the louver corner with it.
When the line turns orange, click again to set the corner on the line.

Do not repeat for the other louvers. Delete them and copy the rotated one up and make a linear array.

Delete the little short line when you've finished with it.

I can see what you've done here, Dave. THANKS!!!

I was going into the component and trying to inference from within.....

YOU DA MAN!!

[Dave R]

Thank you.

I can see the reason for opening the component for editing because all of them would rotate at the same time. I expect you could still do that with the line but I think I'd leave the component as is and rotate the whole thing.
