      wow that's was fast! great plug-in very simple and efficient

      it's is even useful to know if the group/component have any loose geometry inside by looking the disabled button on the context menu.

    • RE: Hide at a distance from the camera - works but slooooowwww

      well the idea is to work with large models, and don't have to manually hide objects to give more frame rate. I thinks fog don't help with less entities to display.

    • Hide at a distance from the camera - works but slooooowwww

      Hello again.

      I was playing with the ruby and make a little plug in to hide everything away from the camera.

      Like this:

      plug1.jpg

      plug2.jpg

      plug3.jpg

      It work perfectly! but slow like a turtle! this scene above take about 20 seconds

      Here is the script:

      
      model=Sketchup.active_model
      eye=model.active_view.camera.eye
      selection = Sketchup.active_model.selection
      selection.each { |entity|
      	distance=eye.distance(entity.bounds.center)
      	if distance > 20000
      		entity.hidden = true
      	end
      }
      
      

      I think that calculate the center of all items is very hard work. Maybe you guys have a way that don't make the cpu calculate so hard. Or maybe what is taking time is to calculate the distance, then teh ideia is bad after all.

    • Searching a plugin to show real triangles

      Hello guys!

      I remember to see a plug-in that show the real triangles of the faces, like in blender, kerkythea also shows it. I am not talking about the hidden geometry button. It's good to see the real triangles to make lighter models.

      I can't find it.

      Maybe you guys can help me. Thanks!

      This is just incredibly annoying. Please make the target include both the user's name and (i) icon, maybe ease it in and out, or just get rid of it.

      Or not. Thanks.

      get rid of it.

      maybe a open poll

      Thank you very much. I was expecting something very simple but not that simple.

      Starting to like ruby. I only know php and javascript, but this ruby is good.

      Thank you Jim
