      Nice looking system you have there. Any plans to make an Imperial version?

      p.s.
      When your profile asked for your location, I don't know if you had to be that precise... lol.

        Callback-Array and inch to metric

        ` v = arg.to_s.split(",")
        xx = Float(v[0].strip)/ 25.4
        hh = Float(v[1].strip)
        yy = Float(v[2].strip)/ 25.4
        d1 = Float(v[3].strip)/ 25.4
        z1 = Float(v[4].strip)/ 25.4
        r1 = Float(v[5].strip)/ 25.4
        so = Float(v[6].strip)/ 25.4

        zz = hh*127.mm`
        

        It's crazy the system by Hans Hilfiker based on 5 inches = 127 mm = 1/6, e.g. a standard height of 6/6 is 30 inches.
        But a non-metric version .... wow .... I do not know. It's doable. I write it on the wish list.

        p.s.
        My location: I think, the more accurate the location specified, the more positive energy flowing to the point - perhaps even positive energy in the form from money πŸ˜‰

          as far as metric and imperial a lot of the cabinet shops in America have already switched over to Metric, so it's not really all that important. Just what I'm personally used to.

            I've had some problems installing it...

              What problems are you having installing it?

              The plugin does need to be updated to suit Ruby 2.0 but if you just extract the contents of the ZIP file to Plugins, you wind up with a folder in Plugins called Plugins containing the files. So the plugin won't actually load when you start SketchUp and you won't see the error message.

                    Sorry SU-Friends

                    Lately, I have inquiries from Russia, China, Romania, Germany and the USA.
                    The tools are popular, but unfortunately, my tools work it not in the 2014 version.
                    These tools are a hobby of mine, but for now, I just do not have time to adjust it.
                    As a field ornithologist, I was just elected in the Presidium of a Ornithological Society.
                    I must me now also for other birds take care πŸ˜† .......

                    Well, maybe someone can give me a tip on what to do.
                    The whole thing bury? Want the tools adapt?
                    Want the Tools adapt and under your name provide in the net?

                    Although, I have no list of requests or tasks, but I would have still a few ideas or changes for the improvement of the tools. Ask?
                    Tweeting it right here in my ear, I understand them, I'm ornithologist....

                      Your RB files are in ANSI, not UTF-8 encoding - this is necessary for them to be compatible with Ruby2.0 used by v2014 - it remains OK with earlier versions too.
                      This is easily fixed in Notepad++...
                      There are also some syntax issues like a space between methods and their parenthesized arguments [e.g. the webdialog new code...]
                      I will PM'd you a working set shortly - you need to re-publish it...

                      Get and use Notepad++.exe [free] for script editing and making new files in "UTF8-without-BOM" encoding in the future...

                            TIG: Super, thank you very much! I have received the message.
                            But I cannot reply and I can not download the file. Why is that? I'm a member?
                            Well, I did make the Notepad+ UT-8 conversion and moved my plugins in the folder "Tools",
                            but when calling "web dialog" it goes no further.
                            I thought it is a solvable problem.

                            Sensational TIG, if you've solved it.
                            What do we do now?
                            Can you send it to cad(at)cadbox.ch ?

                            Addendum:
                            Sorry for my terrible programming, but I'm an old german speaking self-taught.

                            At the beginning I wanted sell individual elements and thought to become a millionaire.
                            Today I'm glad for a answer to my questions.

                                May I you mention, as a co-author from CBS 2014?

                                      I do have some ideas of improvement, user-interface and models, too. I really think this tool could be more friendly and more configurable, but my programming skills in Ruby are up to now, well - nil. So I would gladly jump into the development team with User Interface improvements and some functionality ideas. It was my intent some month ago (and still is if nobody wants), to fork the scripts and learn myself to program in Ruby. But I think things woulb be MUCH more better with somebody else on the scripting task πŸ˜„

                                        Only too, I am pleased!
                                        The scripts are without encoding and free to better change.
                                        Many say: Too many cooks spoil the broth
                                        But I say: Many cooks find faster the hair in the soup.
                                        A hair there is always - in the soup and just unfortunately not on my head.....

                                        A good address for SU plugins create or customize (also to learn) :
