Hi Kathryn, Yes the 'Add Icon' plugin works fine with SU Pro 2017. Like you, I find the visual help when digging around in files very useful. Mike

@dahnuguy The model.save_copy method is only available >=v2014 So it fails in v8.

ok thank you all, at the end I've downloaded the Scatter plugin, I think it's the one more suitable for the thing i want to make. let's see if i'm able, thank you!

Aaah, thanks. I feel silly. Thanks for the animation, too. I'll fix it in the morning.

This programm works only for PC!

I am not seeing the "Load Draft" - where the heck is it? This is embarrassing, it is not like I just joined SketchUcation but it I the first time I tried to retrieve a draft. If not here, there are no saved drafts. [image: zMwU_LoadDraft.jpg] [image: DSui_LoadDraft2.jpg]

@pilou said: Have you try the Medeek Truss plugin ? No i haven't tried it yet.. And Fredo Scale Radial Bender ? Yes i know, it is part of fredo tools.. But i like to use flowify.. I show the basics i know, main part was getting lines from sandbox.. You can use any plugin to bend..

Yes, I know that IE is the browser SU uses The IE version installed in Windows XP under VirtualBox is 8. I have tried to upgrade that to 9, but it wouldn't let me. I can't even run Windows Update because the browser is "out of date". I would have thought that "current" version of IE for a 2014 program would equate to the version of IE that was current at the time that the program was released. I would further think that IE 8 would fill that requirement. No?

@cms 5ps said: Thanks JQL. I don't think that would work for me, as doing so would give every surface in my model that texture. Which would work for my scope drawings, but will not work for the rest of the design drawings. I will need to play around with it a bit. Well, now you know you can do that, so you can use it someday.

That's exactly what I needed! Thanks!!

So a little more info, I looking for an automatic way of doing this, so that I can improve the Spike photogrammetic camera product. We are prototyping a special Jpeg output from the Spike. The Jpeg will be deskewed, eg the measurement surface, which is usually oblique to the camera, will be flattened. Then we compute a resolution in DPI for the measurement surface, and apply this to the JPEG EXIF resolution fields. The idea, is that a CAD package imports the JPEG, reads the resolutions and presents the image with the correct physical measurements. This is intended to be a standard output, so for example, users can photograph the side of a building, put it into the CAD, and measure directly. Ive tested the concept in CorelDraw, which our Signage customer base use, and it works really well, it reads JPEG resolutions, get the image to the right size and makes downstream design work a lot simpler.

Sorry, I was under the impression Sketchup would also triangulate on import because I thought I did it once, but I used blender first, triangulated and then exported to obj again (but could be dae or 3ds) and then into sketchup. It's not that hard. There is another free OBJ importer that is from quad tools. It becomes available directly on sketchup file>import options and it never failed for me, but I used it only seldomly.

Maybe just get a wheel mouse, which also has option for push down (and possibly side to side) for the wheel. If needed use a third party driver to fine tune your mouse settings. I use Razer mice and SteerMouse driver.

Thank you guys very much!

Tap the relevant arrow once to toggle the lock on.

I was sure that you can make that you want with this! A very cool plugin! THX Anton!

Hi pcmoor Thanks for the reply your formula worked but I did have to change the descriptive values for the actual width values of the mattress size =IF(or(Size = "150", Size = "180"),200,190) I also now know that I cant Just stick AND & OR any where I Like I've got to put them in first.

You have also Split tools by TIG ! Lines must be divided before! [image: Pavv_GIF_split.gif]

Ah yes, selection toys sorted me out, I wasn't looking in the right place, it's on the menu but not on the toolbar. Thanks very much.
