Thanks so much for you work Jan. I use your scripts quite often and have never officially said thank you.

Pipe along a path and Make Faces is the combo to use. Here's a little test. Thanks Rick.

One moonlit, drunken evening, SU and Rhino had a steamy one night stand. Nine months later, Space Claim was born.

When I first saw the Space Claim site, my first thoughts were in regards to rendering......but I guess Bunkspeed will make that a reality. The Frosted Glass look is really amazing.

Would it not be possible for Fredo or one of the other keystroke geniuses to create a modified push pull tool that could achieve similar results.....and who knows what version 7 will bring us? A program like Space Claim would only be beneficial to me if it was, #1 affordable & #2 could be adapted into my SU workflow.....and neither seem possible.

Thanks so much Didier! You just made my life so much easier!

Didier,

Would it be a difficult thing to modify this script so that it will paint the cylinders to a color, namely black. I use this script quite a bit as a means to show lines to a render engine. I usually convert sketchup lines to 1/8" cylinders (usually for brick borders around curves or anywhere I want to stylize the final output) and I usually have to go back and paint each cylinder black. This can become a chore with a few hundred separated lines (cylinders) that are 1/8" thick. Something along these lines would be good as a "render line" ruby (if cylinders didn't create so many extra polygons!

If you don't mind sharing, what were your displacement settings in Vray? Edge Length(pix) - Max Subdivision - Amount? I've been fighting to get a good grass displacement for the past few weeks and have had not luck. Are you using the new release?

Stinkie, Durant & I must share a hoppy longneck and burn fire on stone.

Shatter that contention of web riddled complacency.

Climb from within that pushing pulling line tool.

Pushing deep the boundaries of whaat's in store.

Fallacy reaps art and lines of code push past rigidity.

Much obliged.

Watching as the bird divides the crack within the dusk.

The queen is smiling....hotter than ever.

Thanks Pete! You are very kind and generous. I now have a folder in my components called "Solo's Stuff". Were these trees completely modeled in sketchup?

Ahhhh....motor on DH with visionary jackbird songs. Keep exercising said levels of self abuse to formulate the ideal for scrutiny.
Pour out another vat of emotion as the mouse wheel spins, merging mind to machine and machine to fill a vacant dream.

Shine on brother....gratitude to you for the departed hour spent swimming within your cavity......holding a stranglehold on a longneck....held aloft to the transcending of rigidity.

(What an inspiring thread to stumble upon!)

Thanks Biebel....extrudelines.rb seems to be the ticket. I was assuming it only extruded on the z axis, but it seems to extrude on the plane it is on. Thanks again!!!
