I agree too but instead of creating some topics here, contact em each times I got new suggestion or waiting for a real wide 3weeks survey (lol) I prefer post here (as a wailing wall)

Also need a dialog box on new doc creation which propose us a template like all other soft do in fact... (quite bored to change it in preferences window before launching new document)

I don't know if this was already mentioned but we really need the orthogonal type in sketchup like AutoCAD do in order to simplify the building of object with Sketchup.

"orthogonal type" ?

I was speaking about this

arf ! understand till the water fall on the watermill...

@Pilou sorry missed the search function I think... Continuing the discuss there... And I've already found some penrose triangle/step like yours in warehouse but all are about unclosed figures. My goal was to create a closed one...

@Aerilius nobody but everybody know that with all 90° angles a penrose tirangle is impossible so that's what it should looks like when you look around one in 3D... imo

I've spent some time on it

Was talking about shifting binary number is longer then the same "base 10" arithmetic operation...

Which is no sense in processor calculation.
Try the same comparison in ASM, C++, PHP etc. and look the result^^

But in this case I think it's because x = 0b0011_1100<<2 affect the decimal number of the binary one to x variable so the number of edge clock needed is greater... IMO

Edit: And for loop isn't for me Result-for-each-variables.txt
here is my results of the test that ThomThom put above to prove that for loop is better then each one and that declaring variable before is faster too but it's still not true for my equipment...
(Ruby 1.9.2-p180 / Windows 7 64 bit / Intel Core i3 M 350 2.27GHz)

So I think that these optimizations depend of many variables....(versions of Ruby/Sketchup) Even if some will still be true in the future...

Hi,

was really interested about the fact that Penrose Triangle was not available to become real in 3D space !

I've founded some 3D models in 3D Ware House but they are all about "illusion?" (I mean not connected model)....

So ! here is what Penrose Triangle is in 3D space....

Download link
(look front/back view and around^^)

I think it could be better then that but I'm quite satisfies of this result

fill free posting some other optical illusions built in SU

Well I got a situation !!

C:\>ruby test.rb range = (0..90000000) t=Time.now; x=0; i=0; range.each { |i| x = 0b0011_1100<<2 }; Time.now-t 13.156753 t=Time.now; x=0; i=0; range.each { |i| x = 60*4 }; Time.now-t 10.400594

just a no sens !!!
Really a human oriented language

damn! still impressive TIG!

I've just modified it to treat folders before skps and added the ability to load more then one folder...

File in attachment for those who want

here is the log^^

Name : Dynamic Component Loader 0.1.1rc1

Description : load full libraries of components you often use by creating a menu list of your component libraries

inside the Sketchup Plugins Menu

Author : sm4rt but TIG

Usage : Simply edit/add the name you want to give for your component libraries inside "librariesNames" declaration

edit/add the corresponding folder path inside "librariesFolders" declaration

And that's it !

you'll no longer have to search through your disk to find model you usually use

Just feed your model libs as time goes by

Script will load sub-folders too

Date : 8.Apr.2011

Type : Loader

History:

0.1.1rc1 (8.Apr.2011) - impressive fully versatile revision

0.1.1beta1 (7.Apr.2011) - loud dirty unefficient version

Component Libraries Loader Plugin

No I was speaking about my version of the first post.... Because there is non sens there^^

Actually the last one I send works good for me... thanks to you^^ (and your last suggestion don't or is a good solution for declaring Absolute path personally I prefers Relative declaration like you did...

But I've suppressed "submenus=[]" though...

Any ideas of what happens and what's wrong in my version because I really don't understand where is the mistake in fact...

trying to treat files before folders but it don't change anything :

• when there is a sub folder everything works good
• when the actual folder is the last child one, skps do not load <= path is wrong |
  but path is good before entering in the load function / wrong inside it / and right after quiting the load function....

it make me crazy!
