Hi,
i have a question for you.
I calculate thermal bridges (building physics). I place the edges on different layers (edges = thermal bridges).
A report that outputs the length of the edges according to layers, like the ReportLabelArea does with areas, would be great.
Is this easy to do?
I could imagine that other users could also use this ReportLabelLenght.
You are doing a great job, thank you very much and many greetings
Volker

Looking for help with curvishear..
Just started working with this awesome plugin, but I must be doing something wrong.
When I run this to build a ramp (two concentric semicircles) the model appears correct but it remains flat...I've tried various views, changing the height in case it was a scale problem...but no luck...I can post a video of my steps if that helps.
Does anyone have a fix or suggestions for where to get more info?
Thanks

How about posting your SKP file with the ramp ready to run Curvishear?

Here's the skp file.
Thanks

ramp.skp

This is what I see when I open your file. The geometry sort of looks like you're looking down on the ramp but its oriented in the vertical red/blue plane. The extension is extending up in the blue direction as it's supposed to do.

If you want the ramp shape, lay the C-shape down on the ground plane as I've done on the right.

FWIW, if you are having a difficult time keeping track of which way is up in SketchUp, you can either edit the style to include sky and horizon or choose a different style that already has it.

Your image doesn't show. Please attach the SKP file so we can see what you are trying to do and exactly how you have it set up.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong. I do see that all of your curves are exploded to their individual segments. I welded the curves back together and ran Curvishear. It worked fine for me.

Maybe you can review the usage instructions here and try again. It would also be helpful if you outline the exact steps you are using as you are setting up for and running Curvishear.

But how to weld all the lines, i tried to use super weld plugin and it work just like that

Dave R · 1 Dec 2019, 16:19

I used TIG-Weld to do it but I only welded the curves. I did not weld the entire perimeter. Why are the curves exploded in the first place? Maybe you should redraw them so they aren't exploded.

HI Fredo

I downloaded the LibFredo6 package for Sketchup 19 on MAC. It is loaded and installed, but I can't see any of the tools. It is showing in the Window drop down menu but nowhere else that I can see. Have I done something wrong in the installation ? In the extension manager it is Enabled. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dave R · 4 Dec 2019, 12:29

Have you quit and restarted SketchUp after installing?

Fredo Tools shows in the Tools menu. Do you see that?
