Hello,

I was wandering how to draw a point on a face like this?

My strategy would be:
1: Find outer_loop.vertices for the face.
2: Use outer_loop.vertices[0] as a starting-point to place the desired point by trial and error, while using the classify_point method for the face.

The problem of this method is that near the vertices there could be holes of
which the script is not aware.

Best regards,

Thanks guys. It seems this is a PC only bug. So far no reason to buy a mac..

Hi,

I have a string = "t\tt"
In console it prints:

t		t

But ents.add_text string, [0,0,0]
Gives 'tt'

why??
Is there a magic workaround whose existence I'm not aware ?

Thnx guys!!

Liquid

It WILL be difficult, but I'll try next year...

Thanx guys,

I use a thumbnail viewer (explorer extension) to preview skp files in windows explorer.
One can write a plugin for the viewer to expand its functionality for different filetypes (like dwg and dxf).

I already found the dxf-file-specs, it says something about THUMBNAILIMAGE section. But I can't get hold of a dxf file with such a keyword.. (probably because it's impossible
as Dan explains.)

@TIG Please: no fame for me!!!!
At this moment its to complicated to write for me. But maybe in the future.
What functionality would you expect, better than the PRO version?

Best wishes for 2013!

huh ?? Nobody?

Hello fellow nerds and nerdettes,

I'm interested in expanding SU's capability of exporting dxf/dwg files.
Along which lines should I think in order to generate such a file, including
an embedded image (for previewing purposes in windows explorer ), just like SU's native 'skp' formats?

Best regards,

Liquid
