      Hi there,

      Here is a little script I had to code for castle walls made of 'embossed' stones.
      Maybe it'll be useful to some of you.
      Unzip the Zip file and move the RBS file in your Plugins folder.
      Usage:

      • select faces (dont't worry if there are other object types in the selection)
      • select menu "Tools" > "Emboss"
      • fill the dialog and click OK.

      11/23/22:
      Offset parameter added (see below)

      Unzip in your Plugins folder

      Have fun!

        For those unfamiliar with installing .zip files or non-rbz files. Go here...

        Et voilà 👍

        @Didier

        I just noticed you were never added to the Extension Author group here 😳 😳 😳 .

        I've added you now so you have access to the Dev Tools area to upload/update .rbz file to the ExtensionStore if you wish.

        If its not something you want let me know and I'll restore your old privileges.

              A RBS file is an encrypted Ruby file which behaves just like a RB file.
              I use 7-Zip to compress/uncompress archives, but any other Zip will also extract the file(s).

              • double-click on the Zip
                -drag and drop the file into your Plugins folder and that's it.
              • restart SU.
                Regards,

                When you use the Archive installer menu option in Sketchucation Tools make sure you pick the bossage.zip file. Not the unzipped bossage.rbs file.

                Our Archive installer will only work with .zip and .rbz files

                    That is pretty neat Rich. I’ll bet Didier Bur had not thought of that one when he developed the plugin. 😲

                          This is a great idea, to make grooves I often had to take a few steps, but with this one... in just one step.
                          But, Sketchup sometimes freezes with this one installed, but when not, it certainly messes with Fredo's Lord of the Toolbars all the time... so I had to disable it (rename the extension, because it does not stay disabled.

                          P.S.: All DBUR extensions I've tried (and use) so far do not run from a folder other than the native one (except Align_2D_3D and Align_2D).
                          For this thing I use TT Extension Sources, which is in fact the only true Extension Manager that Sketchup has; the native one is just a shame.
