        Fantastic fredo!

        Very useful. It will be one of those tools you cannot live without once you used it.
        You guys (the wizard ruby masters) should take over the further development of sketchup as a whole.
        Thank you very much. 👍 👍

              Yes! I was thinking just this week that it'd be so nice ot be able to taper scale objects. This is another must have plugin. Thank you very much Fredo.

                  Solo is going to find his cartoon characters a great deal easier with this. This is clearly another great leap for Sketchup.

                      to be able to run on Mac I had to create DEFPARAM_Dir under plugins dir (due permissions restriction the mkdir command in Lib6Core_30 failed)

                      nice work Fredo

                          Dear Fredo6,

                          One little known option of the native SU Scale tool is the ability to input final dimensions via the VCB (example: 100mm,100mm,100mm). The scale box is then scaled to those dimensions. Is this something that could be include in your script?

                          Kind regards,
                          Bob

                            Great script! Thank you thank you!.

                            However, I, as you know, am on a MAC and I am having serious issues with this script.

                            The standard scaling tool works beautifully and as expected. Being able to set the orientation is brilliant!.

                            The taper scale tool, however, isn't working at all.

                            It displays the bounding box and shows the results of all of the tool manipulations, but it never actually changes the object geometry. Picture attached. Hitting return or clicking outside the box erases the bounding box and the cube remains as is.

                            Let me know what I can do to assist diagnosis.

                            Thanks again.

                                  I only have a problem when set the dimension in the dialog box by pressing TAB. It dosen´t accept what I put.. just make a beep 😕
                                  I attach a video example of this.

                                    Strange. What is the default decimal separator you normally use in your version of Sketchup.
                                    Just in case, can you turn the Ruby console on to see if anything is displayed.
                                    Can you also type in the Ruby console the following command:

                                    Traductor.string_to_length_formula "20"
                                    

                                    and see what it does.

                                    I don't know if any other users has found that problem?

                                    I will analyze what it could be in parallel.

                                    Fredo

                                      Bob,

                                      Just press TABwhen the scaling handle is highlighted (or use the contextual menu). You should have the Dimension box appearing. For teh time being, I preferred to reserve the VCB to scale values.

                                      Fredo

                                      PS: Daniel S. has found some issues with this dialog box. Maybe you can report if found any.

                                        It is clear that there is an error in the execution of the deformation, as shown on your image.
                                        The best would be to turn on the Ruby console and see what it says. I don't know if it could be related to Mac.
                                        Also can you tell me if your run SU 7 or 6.

                                            Here is the Ruby Console result from attempting to taper scale.

                                            I am using SU7, OS 10.5.6.

                                            Thanks!
