Thank you, thank you, thank you..............

Works fine with Brick 10 now.

Great plugin!

Cheers

Is one ever satisfied?

Your mirror does mirror, however this to me is more like a "flip", an actual mirror should also be able to copy the selection.

So would that be possible? And if not, I will be pleased that so many people take the time to add improvement to Sketchup and their plugins.

Again, thank you

Ken

First off, thank you for the script and for sharing.

Second, I cannot get the mirror function to work. Any suggestions?

Third, can this work on SU 6?

Thanks. Ben

Why doesn't this plug-in download as a .rb file?

It downloads as a .rbs file and does not seem to open or operate properly?

Thanks

Gaieus

It's an encrypted rb file. The author may not wish to reveal the code. It works just like a simple rb file however.

SUFractal

Hmmmmmm. That's understandable, but I have the ruby placed properly, but do not see for the life of me the "tool" anywhere w/in SU?

What/where should I be looking?

Thanks.

I'm having trouble finding the mirror functions and short cuts

I have downloaded brick14

on a mac

one of the pictures before has three coloured axis squares at the top and bottom of the rotate protractor where i only have them at the bottom.
i can't also get any of the short cuts to work, i saw an earlier post answering a mac question to this but i can't seem to get it to work.

I press 1,2,3 nothing happens, i have nothing assigned to these keys, nothing other than what the previous post highlighted is in my shortcuts - view brick pallette

any help

(do i need to download brick 10? which is not the latest version?)

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm trying to see how this plugin improves on the tools already available in SketchUp for adding copying and rotating. What I was really hoping to see was a wall creation tool, where you define the number of bricks needed, and at what dimension in h,w and d, then the height and width of the wall. But it seems that this plug-in doesn't do that? Or does it? Or am I just missing the plot altogether?

I'd also very much like to see a plugin that randomly chooses textures from a predefined texture pool (folder). This would mean that the wall would at least have some sort of irregularity to it, rather than each brick just looking the same. Is that doable?

best,

Tom

Something like this Tom? - http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/stone-placement-tools

Would be great for SU....hint, hint.

SUFractal

After countless attempts, it is now working.

Odd.

WOAH!

Thanks for that link Adam! I'm stunned. Almost the perfect reason to switch software! No.....must....resist.....!!

Yes! Something just like that!!!

TIG, Fredo6 We know you can do it! I'll happily pay you too!

Chris Fullmer

Ooh I liked that thing

While we're at 3dsMax scripts, what about this one.
Free node based procedural building generator.

Nice Jan. Here's the latest release of Building Generator. - http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=6714759&postcount=786

I'm sure this is something that the talent here could whip up pretty easily for sketchup. TIG has the roof and windows already. Starting from a footprint, it would just be a matter of extruding walls via ruby and adding the other features. The node generator part, on the other hand, probably not doable. Good find though...I'm playing with it now.

tfdesign

I'll PM TIG about the brick generator idea, that's if he doesn't get here first.

EarthMover

Tom, he is currently working on something per this request of mine - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=31376&hilit=brick+tile
