      RP, how about a fractal generating plugin? ...you know, just for kicks πŸ˜›

      That's an idea. I can't think of anymore simple shapes to draw. Definitely would be just for fun.

          It's a wonderful plug-in, ten minutes to whip up this.

            What a coincidence that our separate lines of work would meet like that! 😲

            You are doing things I never imagined people would do with this plugin. πŸ‘

                    Hi halim,

                    The top torus with 20 twists had these settings:

                    settings 20 twists.png

                    The bottom six tori had these settings, except they each have a different twist parameter varying from 0-5.

                    settings 0-5 twists.png

                    P.S. Welcome to the forum!

                          Error Message

                          Hi RP

                          I downloaded this plugin but it gives me an error message when I try to run it:

                          I'm using the default torus parameters...

                          Joel


                          Torus error message

                            The error is related to Fredo's AdditionalFolder plugin. Are you running this from a folder other than the default plugins folder?

                            Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                              Not at all. I've installed the plugin directly into SU's default Plugins folder. Would it help if I removed Fredo's AdditionalFolder plugin?

                                I'd try it at least. Then we can identify a clash between plugins.
