CopyAlongCurve

garystan

Hi everybody :

       I downloaded the  "CopyAlongCurve" plugin.  I saved it in the  Plugins folder of Sketchup 8.  Then, went into Sketchup 8.....opened System Preferences.  Then I selected Extensions, clicked on Install Extenion.  Now, I see it in the System Preference>Extensions>CopyAlongCurve. But I don't see it in the drop-down menu under Plugins.   I didn't notice if this was compatible with Sketchup 8.     garystan

          Yup....that's the one.  But, there's no documentation / Help file that goes with it.  And, I'm pretty sure that in the Plugin Store, it DID say it would work with Sketchup 8.

Usage

Draw a curve or a sequence of connected edges/curves.
Place and orient the target group on one of the edges of the curve.
(Optional) Offset the axes of the target group to the desired center.
Select (Menu) Extensions → Copy Along Curve.
Select the target group.
Select the edge of the curve to copy against it. Usually it is the edge closest to the target group.
Adjust options or left-click to verify and proceed to copying.
    To adjust the spacing, input a desired numeric value into the measurements box.
    To control the number of copies and have the spacing be adjusted automatically, input a fixed value with a c in the end.
    Use the left and right arrow keys to enable/disable alignment.
