          Thanks Sam. πŸ‘ This is a great tool. Would be a super effective technique to create a more comprehensive (& interactive) set of primitive tools similar to in 3ds Max http://heartlessg.com/node/20 Something long overdue in Sketchup.

            OK, just how would you design this plugin, a circle through 3 points or maybe center, a point to define the radius, and a point to define the plane, or maybe the ends of the diameter and a point to define the plane. Please don't say "all of the above", pick one.

            Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                thank you very much, excellent plugin.
                just a query, you can use the "Ctrl" key to switch between geometry and geometry grouped ungrouped?

                thank you very much

                  Do you mean toggle the grouping of the box on and off with the "Ctrl" key?

                      The best for my needs should be
                      first point center second point axis third point radius.

                          I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

                          In fact I think something similar to the rotate tool.

                              Defining a axis other than standard red, green, or blue can be difficult without something to inference to. So, unless you are not interested in defining an arbitrary axis, I guess it would work

                                I think about a snapping point, edge vertice etc..

                                  thanks dear Sam ...

                                  I posted this massage in me question topc .. but I think you haven't seen it ..... :

                                  this plugin is exactly what every body wants : a time saver ... draw .. rotate .. select .. make group .. push pull ... all in one ! well done .. tanks dear sam .. tanks πŸŽ‰

                                  and I have a question .. why do these display problems happen ??!? I'm not a pro developer but I can understand if you tell me the reasons ... ?!??

                                  and another thing : if you add a "make cylinder" feature , it's gonna to be perfect ... because SU's default cylinder is not a time saver .. it makes the cylinder in 0,0,0 ... thanks
                                  this is a snapshot from shetchyphisics > sketchy solids ..
                                  pictures describes it Sam ... so don't need to make codes from my wrong described requests .. πŸ˜„ 😳

                                    I don't know exactly why either. You might post this question on the developers forum and get an answer but basically it has to do with the way Sketchup displays things on the screen. There is a certain field of view and if you get to close to an object it disappears. Zooming out usually makes it reappear.

                                    Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                                        Rotated box has been updated to allow the option turning grouping on and off.

                                          Thank you very much. just one more thing
                                          is possible to align the axes of the group rectangle?

                                          Now, when creating a rotated rectangle, the axes of the group are the same as the axes of the model.

                                            No way to define the axes of a group that I'm aware of.
                                            You can temporarily align the axes to the group when in group edit mode.
