Hi Whaat, is it possible to change the currency?. If possible historical curency, too.
so i could show in my historical project "The Berlin Wall And Inner German Border" the cost of this over the years. Thanks.

Hi Deaneau,
In 2.1, you can change the currency in the Report Settings dialog (access from the Quantifier). Is this what you mean? -
Whaat, I've got some project with kilometers of the attached railing which get turned in a funky manner. My problem is I have to do a lot of stupid manual work. Here's a brief description:
To get the desired state (1) I build a rough one with the assembly (2) I managed to create.
Then I manuallyadd some sub-assembly (3) in a 'pale red' areas, explode assembly (2) in order to delete unneeded studs in the corners and rotate the green element (3) appropriately.
Important note: Our local safety regulations demand vertical netgaps <= 10cm. So in the final output I manage to respect this standard.The question is Could my manual labor get solved in my assemly?

Hi rv1974,
These types of assemblies are currently quite tough to do in PB2 as a one step assembly. You are on the right track to break this up into multiple assemblies. It becomes a multi-step process but it is still much faster than doing the whole thing manually. I made a slight change with your corner posts which should save you a bit of time. If you split your corner posts and use a junctions setback, I think you can still get the effect you want at the corners without having to rotate element 4.

Hi Dale,
I updated to the new version of ProfileBuilder and now I get these warnings at every startup of SketchUp. PB works fine though.
I just tested and de-installed PB and the errors are gone. Re-installed PB again and they are back.Any idea how to resolve this?
regards,
MaxHi Max,
Thanks for reporting this strange issue. I'll look into this and try to get it sorted out. You are the first one to report this so I wonder if there is a conflict with another plugin that you have.Can you please post the full text of the error and not just a screenshot? Thanks!

Strange coincidence. Will investigate by cleaning the plugin folder and adding one by one.

@Dale, turns out its two of my own plugins that have something to do with this as well although, if I de-install ProfileBuilder the warnings are gone.
I have two plugins that use:
require 'win32API'
require 'FileUtils'I was under the impression that using 'require' would prevent these kind of issues. Am I mistaken here?
You are using the same in PB? -
Whaat, thank you for help\clarifications. At least I'm glad I use the plugin effectively and hope for PB improvements in future. I this particular case if I'm not mistaken the current BP doesn't let me 'infill only' and 'infill special every approx n cm' components.
And of course even not being 100% polished PB saves me tons of time for sure! -

You are using the same in PB?That is very strange because I do not 'require' those libraries for PB2.
Perhaps when you have PB2 installed, it changes the timing or sequence of your plugins being loaded which results in the error being displayed. I am guessing one of your plugins has set the following:
Sketchup.debug_mode = true
Try searching your plugins for this expression. If you find it, change it to 'false' and see if that solves your problem.
-
Very strange indeed.
I did find the 'debug_mode=' in 1 of my plugins and changed it to false. Also unloaded tt_solidinspector2 that was reported using that argument.
Still the same errors appear. I might do a fresh re-install of all the plugins in the near future.
thanks for looking into this. -
Has there been an update to PB2.1? I see it is to the top of the list when i go to EW and organize plugins by "most recent", however it doesn't show in My Extensions as needing to be updated?

Hi juju,
If you have 2.1 already, there is no need to update at this time. The EW probably shows it as most recent because I made a change to the EW page.

@rv1974 said:
Hm.. Sometimes I can't scale entities created with PB2
PB2 actually disables scaling Profile entities that were created with PB2.
Because PB2 is a parametric tool, users are encouraged to use the parametric features of PB2 to change the dimensions of the entity rather than the scale tool. When the scale tool is used, things can get messed up, especially in quantity reports.

Dale this plugin is great, I've used the original PB for years but the ability to create my own profiles and the assembly builder really made this chain possible.
Well with the money
Thanks

WaltWow, thanks Walt! That is so great to hear!
Would you be interested in copy / pasting your post into a review at the EW page?
http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/profile-builder-2Cheers,

Done for sure

Whaat is it possible to add 'triangulate all' existing profiles? or at least 'triangulate on creation' option? Zillions of unique materials is a HUGEheadache when exporting to Max.
P.S. Please check possibility of- multiple unconnected curves as single path
- faster path (ideally context ignoring single click )finding. Now it's too much clicking.
