[Plugin] Zorro2 (beta)

jtbrockmeyer · 18 Nov 2014, 08:43

I am trying to install this in a Mac with the SU 2014 version. I am not certain where/how to install the file i downloaded "Zorro2_v2.0_beta.rbz".

I have read all the responses and I still can't seem to get it to work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

If you have downloaded the RBZ file, go to the SketchUp menu, click on Preferences>Extensions and then the Install Extension button. Navigate to where you saved the file, select it and click on Open. Then click on all the affirmative responses. Close the Preferences window. Done.

You really ought to get the Sketchucation Plugin Store tool and use it to auto-install plugins.

Any plans to update this? Or suggestions for other ways to get this slice model at section functionality? Can't get it to work with Sketchup 2015 (on mac)

I have tried to download this plugin (inserted the Zorro2.rb into my system files: Program Files (x86)_Google_Google SketchUp 8_Plugins) without any luck. After I have uploaded it into my program files I should expect to see "Zorro" show up in my Sketchup "Tools," however, it does not show up? Any suggestions?

I have tried to reboot sketchup and my computer. I don't know what else I can do.Thanks for any and all help.

Where did you get the file you downloaded? The one that is available here on SCF comes as an rbz file, not rb. Do not put rbz files into the Plugins folder. After downloading the rbz file, open SketchUp and go to Window>Preferences>Extensions. Click on Install Extensions... Navigate to the location where you saved the file, select it and click on the affirmative answers.

Better, install the Sketchucation Plugin Store plugin that way and use it to automatically install the plugin.

It's in 'Tools'...
Have you read the PDF manual?
Está en 'Herramientas' ...
¿Ha leído el manual en formato PDF?

Hi, I have downloaded and installed plugin as said at the first page. Works 100% (W7, SU2016pro). I would like to thank you for great saving of time

Also if there will be some day an update, really helpful would be if plugin can also cuts only visible groups ... now I have to copy and move away from entire model what I want to cut and put it back when done. If I just turn off the layers, for example walls, terrain, windows, etc. and I can "play" only with roof tiles with no need to copy something... it´s just an opinion

It is and very useful plugin!
Cheers mate

Zorro2 cuts objects in the model's active_entities context, it also cuts into any nested components/groups in that context is the option is chosen
So to cut only part of your model make a temporary group of the objects you wish to cut.
Edit that group and use Zorro2 within that edit's entities context.
Now anything outside of the group remains unchanged.
Explode the group when you are done - if desired...

In the attached image I cut a component [which is just a specialized kind of group] and deleted the bottom part - note how outside of the context nothing is affected...
