      multi face offset.jpg
      As per this request: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=20193

      version 3 now up.

      You'll need offset.rb, courtesy of RickW.

      How it works:

      1. select the faces you want to offset
      2. Plugins->Multi face Offset
      3. Put in the distance
      4. ...and away you go

      Stuff id like to change but probably wont:
      -condense it in to one script with a choice of units. Added, sort of. See thoms post.

        Why all the different versions? .to_l http://code.google.com/intl/nb/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/numeric.html#to_l should take care of the units for you.

            Btw, .to_l might give different result from what you expect - depending on that object you convert.

            If you have a number - 30.to_l <- that means 30 inches.
            If you have a String - "30".to_l <- that means 30 model units, so if your model units are mm - then you'll get mm.

            And then with a string, users can override the model units. If the model units are mm and a user type "30m" you'll still get the correct length.

                Windowizer generates window components. This is just plain offset.

                  Remus, please, post some image in the first post so that we can have some clue what it does (and I can rip it for TDC, too)
                  😉

                    A "window component" is a pure abstraction. With glass inset =0 it makes the same plain offset+ additional options (i.e. materials assignment, edit and eraze in the future)

                      Does the faces have to be on the same plane?

                        No, the faces can be on any plane. It wont work on curvy things, though.

                        As for windowizer doing the same thing, it probably can, and i think Fred06's offset on surface could do it as well, i just fancied writing it for a bit of practice.

                            Could you open the ruby console (window->ruby console), run the script and post whatever comes up in the console?

                                    Thanks Tig, I had no offset.rb.
                                    Now works fine

                                      I havent got it, but im guessing its included in some other script. Thanks for the pointer by the way, i'll add it to the 1st post.
