      Hello Ken,

      Due to many changes in every version of Sketchup and also due to many updates that I made in SuSolid Plugin,I have decided to offer the Lifetime Updates option to all my customers. That means you will receive every update of SuSolid "forever" ,for the modest price of 11 EUR (only once).
      With 3d printing I have received biggest demand to continue developing my plugin and I also have more ideas to make the SuSolid plugin more 3d printing friendly and up to date.
      So,if you find my plugin useful and want to support additional development,please make a purchase of the "SuSolid Lifetime Updates".I will send you (and to others) a link to your mail.
      And yes,the latest version is SU2014 compatible.

        Check out this new video related to 3d Printing from SketchUp.
        Is about reversed faces,that cause my first ever printed 3d model to not have 1 hole that suppose to be.Later I discovered that the face in the hole was reversed.
        This is why now the SuSolid plugin can show you and fix all reversed faces in solid model.

            Ahh... is because of the construction line.If you delete it,you will have no errors.
            Anyway I will exclude this error possibility from the code and send you a new version.In meantime just avoid construction lines for the tool that you were using.
            Or you can use the free version till then,that don't have this bug,I have checked it and is ok with your model.

            EDIT
            The version is now corrected and checked on your model.
            Also the version on the server is now updated.

            But you can admit that i have a good debugging system 😉 It shows me the exact line of code where the bug is 😄

              You did a quick turn around and the fix works.

              Thanks for the quick turn around.

                  Hello and sorry for the late answer,for using the intersection tool you need the pro version of Sketchup.

                    Hi Voljanko,

                    I have two questions.

                    First is there any other way than to pay by paypal (because otherwise I need to pay an extra 5€ just to charge a paypal account)?

                    Second question/suggestion is a little more complex.
                    Since The tool can check for intersection between solids it should also be able to check for touching solids (which on its self is not that useful) but I was wondering if a tool or function could be added (or maybe created by some else) that makes it possible to move components (my components are solids, so solids) along an axis until it touches the next solid in that direction (so as soon as it would be prevented in real life from moving any further).

                    Greetings,
                    Bob

                      Re: 2nd question.

                      SU already does "touching" indications when moving a comp towards another comp.
                      You need only grab the moving comp and when you move it into contact with the stationary comp, SU will flag it touching face or edge. You can move past that of course, but the move will hesitate a bit when the contact happens.

                      If you are contacting faces, then you can make one face a "Glue anything" and it will contact and stay put.

                        Thanks but it not exactly the same. If I were to moving an object along the z direction it might already by touching something on the left or the rigth that's in parralel with the movement direction. This will in reality only cause friction and not prevent the movement from happening (solvable for wood by sanding). Making this technique you described extremely hard to use and almost impossible if we talking about cylinders nested in bigger components and the cylinder is the object touching something.

                        My main problem with using this is that it is really prone to errors, because I'm checking it by eye and I'm human (the amount of movements I have to checks is over 150).

                        Anyhow, still thanks for the tip 😄

                            Hello

                            @Bob
                            1.Other than Paypal it is possible to pay directly to the company bank account.Send me a PM for details.
                            2.About checking of touching solids...if this is important for your design maybe you can scale every solid a little and then check the intersections.Otherwise I don't think that such a tool would be generally useful.

                            @cadmunkey
                            Yes, SuSolid plugin is running form the day one of SU2015 without any problems.

                                Is this still being actively developed? Will it work in SketchUp 2016?

                                    Anyone here from the developer? This still under active development? 😉 Looks very interesting. If not, any recommendations for similar tool(s)?
