@tig said: You need a 3pt-circle tool rather than a 3pt-arc tool to be sure of the result... I found out that in this case it is simply better to have the arcs first! Than I need to project rail 1 or 2 onto the plane on y, connect the arc's end points with each other and than I have to draw a line from the arc's highest point to the center of this line. Than I need to use EEbyRails to extrude each of the herewith created part of the projected path along those rails. Very nice results!! I hope you get it from the image. My English is sick today... It is really great and must become part of some (maybe even existing?) script. You can't do all the steps involved over and over again. (Is there some documentation for EEbyRails and Curviloft with examples so that it is easier to access them from own scripts???) Have a nice weekend. [image: OnLl_arc.png]

And I heartily recommend it.

Just an acronym... cwd = Current Working Directory just as pwd = Print Working Directory Dir.pwd usually returns the Plugins folder... BUT some auto-loading scripts change the cwd to another folder, so you can never be certain - but here my guess proved right

@tig said: Do NOT Explode the Curves - you need those later ! Thank you, Tig. If you are ever bored, being able to select those (components) without exploding would be a really nice feature.

@tiptongrange said: Nevermind about the last stupid question. After searching through the menus looking for something called 'canc' I realized you meant the delete key. Right.

thanks John. I did see that one but its not a real good example because when its viewed in SU it appears as if the back wheel is off the ground!!

Actually, if you could post or pm (to me) other photos of the kitchen (along with one, preferably long, distance measurement) I could check and see what kind of accuracy you can obtain with those using Tgi3D photoscan.

Thanks I didn't see that!

I knew an architect who would strip off his clothes and run through the streets naked after creating a dynamic component. Does that qualify?

Thanks Gaieus, Sorry about the terminology - model next time. Regards John L

@thomthom said: I have found a way to make components not fade out. Stay tuned for a new plugin. Should be useful for modelling by references. Thanks buddy. If you happen to think about it please post back if/when you create it as I don't follow the plugins section as much as I should sometimes and would hate to miss it. -Brodie

Wonder if anyone has played around using Sketchy Physics on those awesome skateparks. I hear a maintenance release is due soon and once it gets released I'm dying to give it a try. Simfonia is also worth a look after their excellent presentation at SU Basecamp 2012.

Site has growing! [image: xoio_3d_people_650.jpg]

@mk11 said: Ha... just figured it out... so.... When having this sort of licensing issue - in my case su briefly showed either a blue or red startup window and then crashed - hold down the shift key while starting su. You get to startup window -. You saved my day ! tx

No worries. Actually it is kind of a SketchUp thing anyway.

Oh thanks a lot, your observation is cool, thanks again!

Put me down for two! Oh, wait.....never mind, found one on my 'puter
