Dear Adam,
your videos are invaluable to understand easily how things work and as reminders.
I have watched your previous a number of times.

I'm studying your propositions (soapskin&buble _ instant road (which makes the deal ) and I'm thinking to others. It's for tomorrow now.

Cheers,

   simon.

Like 'On Screen Rolling Reel' - 'SplitUp' has never been published.
It's in beta testing with a select group [Rich O'B].
The bugs are now ironed out... I'll speak with the other[s] to see what we should do next...

Don't forget my NURBS plugin that's fairly stable. Just too powerful for mere mortals.

What did I wrong here?

Scant on what you've tried...
arcs/curves do not drop unless they are exploded first...
but see this example...

TIG

Here is v2.0 http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=dropverts It now overcomes the curve issue.
All edges in a dropped curve are now treated as separate edges.

Thank you, nice update!

Does it possible to imagine a "drop" on X or Y direction ?
(sure I can rotate all before but...)

Hi TIG,
I found that To Middle and To average do not work.
Console indicates that line 93 z=z.to_s.to_l if z is faulty; cannot convert to length.
I changed it to z=z.to_f if z . (float) They now work.
Is this right ?

In this port are functions for the 3 axis.
I tried to stick to the actual extension standards.
Re-named it since it does more than just drop.
Added LanguageHandler, french. And a contextual menu for the most frequent ones I use.

@maxosmedia

Why have you posted 6 almost identical posts about something - one will do.
And your post doesn't contain enough info for the error either.
You can copy the whole thing and post that - it'd include the error details, and even the line number ?
In you copy/paste it looks like you didn't get the file name right - it's dropverts.rb - you missed off the 'd' - or have you somehow mangled the file's name in reality within the Plugins folder ?
ALSO note that this script is 16 years old and no one has posted here for 10 years. So SketchUp versions and their Ruby installations can vary to generate errors for older scripts when loaded in newer SketchUp versions !
Having said that, I just loaded it into v2026 [PC] and it works fine - just as expected... So please be more helpful with your reporting, so we can help you...
