Flatten a building...
-
One more question...
Now that I have all my pieces taken apart how do I get them to lay flat on the same plane? I know I could use the move/rotate tools but is there an easier way?
-
Another ruby... Drop
it will crash to the ground
-
smartdrop will work on a plane that isn't flat
-
I found the drop.rb script but I think I get a popup saying "no such file to load - engine/command"
I'm assuming this is another script that is needed for drop to run...where can I find it?

MOD: delete above post please.
-
you can delete your own last post. see the little eraser by the word edit.

Hmm I don't have a little eraser...just "report this post"
Either way...I installed the smartdrop plugin but I can't find it in sketchup.
-
you need sketchup.rb in your tools folder, can you check for that?
-
require 'sketchup.rb'

You should have already had sketchup.rb in your SU V6 /Tools folder. If it is not there, I would suggest you re-install SU V6.
-
It was in the tools folder so I made a copy of it into the plugins folder but it still doesn't work

the little eraser is only there as long as your post is the very last one, when someone posts after you its gone.
smartdrop and drop will appear in the right click menu near the bottom. drop and smartdrop only appear and work if you have a group or component selected. they won't work just on faces.
-
I'm sorry...but I'm having trouble figuring it out haha
I'm uploading the .skp and if you have a moment could you try?
-
first of all, i can't imagine how that's a building.
but anyways; smartdrop and drop both need something to drop onto such as a face. but they will not rotate your shapes for you. -
Well all the faces are unfolded already that's why it doesn't look like anything...
ok so I figured out how to drop them to the same y plane. Now I just have to rotate them to all be on the same x plane. Thanks sooo much for the help

PERFECT! xrok...I can't thank you enough!
And now...to build the model...here comes a looong night. Yay!
-
i'd like to see pictures when you're done!
here's a pictorial of the process for next time.
-
Thanks for the pic tutorial. I'll get pictures of the model up when it's done...even though it's not even a final model. How I love being an architecture student.
