      Same as TIG describe: Alt Graphic + é twice then Backspace 😉
      Appuyer 2 fois sur é Alt Graphic étant appuyé : on obient curieusement 2 tildes (~~) puis Backspace pour en effacer un 😒

                You type the Unicode '007e' then 'Alt+X'..... BUT it only works in MicroSoft tools like Word etc, and NOT in Sketchup!

                  yes but what is the key for start Unicode?
                  If I use Alt+.... it's finally open some shortcuts menu! 😳
                  (I just try with the NotePad and WordPad )
                  It's not vital 😉 As the more simple is copy past from the post here 😄
                  And I have it on my keyboard 😄

                    Alt+0126 writes a tilde [~]...
                    Into Sketchup Text objects and any dialog text-fields etc - the symbol appears when you release the Alt key 😄

                    Here's a useful list of all of the PC's 'Alt codes', used to get special symbols into your text... http://www.alt-codes.net/
                    Some are more useful than others like...
                    degrees Alt+167/248/0176 º°°
                    half Alt+171 ½
                    plus/minus Alt+241 ±
                    divide Alt+246 ÷
                    squared Alt+253 ²
                    cubed Alt+252 ³
                    bullets Alt+7/8/9/10 •◘○◙
                    cent Alt+0162 ¢
                    euro Alt+0128 €
                    French "" Alt+174/175 « »
                    Spanish inverted-qu'/ex'mark Alt+168/173 ¿ ¡

                    BUT ☺♪♫☼↨‼

                      Ah ok I must tranform hexa 7e in decimal! 💭 ☀ 😳
                      so 7E = 126 😒
                      Now all works fine 👍
                      Seems ALT + 126 ~is sufficient~

                          What a great tool! Really intuitive and exactly what I needed. Thanks.

                            hi TIG,

                            Recently I did a project with lots of (high-polycount) trees and several camera positions. I really was missing some kind of LOD system. For instance, in one view some trees were very near and I wanted to use the high res version, in another view they were more in the distance and a low poly version would have speeded up the export of the views.

                            So I looked for an LOD system for sketchup and Google turned up your 'old' plugin. I tried it in Sketchup 8 (the clients preferred version) but I can't get it to work. See attached file (all the components should be saved inside). What am I doing wrong??

                            Regards, Max

                              You example SKP only contained instances that were called 'doos'.
                              If they had been named 'doos+' or 'doos-' or 'doos~' the Proximity WILL work.
                              So Select all of the 'doos' and use the context-menu option in the Components-Browser to replace all selected with 'doos-' ...
                              Run the tool and, depending on your settings and the instances distance from the camera, you'll get 'doos+' or 'doos-' or 'doos~' for each appropriate instance...
