Golden Mean Gauge
-
I was watching a video of a Wood Magazine Designer who was using what he called a fibonacci Gauge. And I had an idea. Wouldnt it be great if there was a tool in sketchup, similar to a dimension line that you could then use to setup proportions. Yes I know there is the golden mean for when you are setting up a rectangle, but this would be way more useful for woodworkers and furniture designers. It would simply be a dimension line with 3 perpendicular lines to the main line. 2 on each end then a third at the GM ratio from the start point. If you want to get a feel for what I mean you can find the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xgw84Kwrh8
I dot mean to have the gauge image, just the concept of the tips...DaveR suggested that one of you guys may already have this or could throw it together before I could learn enough Ruby to do it myself.

This is good.I use golden section a lot and kind of find it annoying that I always have to draw new rectangles then group them then scale them... Also, rectangles cannot be snapped but the only tool that "knows" GS.

I'm on it.
