is there a plugin that converts every face of a geometry into a component? So that afterward those faces can be controlled parametrically once they're laid out and edited and so that the normals for the face would be perpendicular to itself and not the axis when it's created? And are there any plugins that can parametrically control different components? i.e. windowizer?
Maybe it can be controlled by an extruded line as well. In Revit they have section cuts that can be controlled by a single line that can bend at certain areas. Wish Sketchup can do something like that as well 
.
I've noticed on different forums there was a major bug with using remote libraries on a networked computer running xp or something. Have you run into any problems using networking access or mapped network hard drives ?
I know that this question doesn't concern the joint push pull plugin - however i've noticed that certain geometry can be push - pulled in a very visual and intuitive way when concerning pure geometry. Is it possible to do the same with 3d splines? Except instead of push - pulling them you would offset them? Fredo and Chris Fullmer are probably the masters concerning sketchup plugins - so i was wondering Fredo, do you think it would be possible to create? here's the link to the forum where there are visual examples. Thanks in advance.

Hey, i found the problem - whenever i search for a key word in the shortcut - it doesn't find it, when i input the location of the actual menu it doesn't see it either, but when i put the first letter of a word in the plugin it shows only one function of the plugin (rotate around blue, rotate around red, rotate around green)...it shows up when I put the word re in the search menu, but nothing else works. its a bit odd. I wonder why that is?
Hey Guys, for some reason at one point in time - the shortcuts that showed up in the preferences menu before for some reason doesn't show up in the shortcut menu anymore. I'm not sure if that is with all the plugins - but for some reason there is a particular function in the edit/item menus that doesn't show up in the preferences shortcuts. On one computer i was able to set up the function to have a shortcut key, but for some reason now i can't find it. It still shows the shortcut key in the file menus but no longer shows up in the preferences where shortcut keys are assigned. Is there a fix to this? or is there something I'm doing wrong?
hey guys, what about something like transformable architecture. i don't know if this will be too difficult to pull off, but its worth a try.
here are some links

The 64 bit programs - are there performance gains over 32 bit except for the fact that it supports more than 3 gigs of ram ? . Btw, what's bonzai?
That's pretty good news. What about as a rendering platform - i.e. vray, brazil renderer...etc...
The reason i ask is because its the only issue that i have so far with Vista. Just curious, do you like it better as a platform than xp sp 3?
Has anyone tried using sketchup on the latest build of Windows 7 release? I'm curious, does it still crash like it used to on startup?
