Hi,

I'd like any ideas you have for a problem we're looking to solve via SketchUp( as a research project). This would help us build the new UI for SketchUp focussing on gestural interaction.

• We want create a timestamped log all the SketchUp tool changing events into a .XML, CSV, or txt file during a modeling task given to a user.
  e.g. while drawing a Cylinder, all events like- 1. selecting a circle, 2. selecting Push/Pull etc. need to be logged to a text based file.

Please pingback any neat ideas you have for doing such a plugin.

Thanks a tonne!

Thanks Jim,

Web dialogues worked great! Thank you!

I need to write a small script for an research experiment we're doing using SketchUp

http://www.anirudh.me/projects/mm-cad

• A small bar on the top right corner of Sketchup that shows a notification when an event has occurced . Example, ON SWITCHING tool TO CIRCLE, "it must show a text "CIRCLE SELECTED" there.
  On swithing to push/pull( "PUSH PULL ACTIVATED")

(Those who've used Growl Notifications http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/disable-growl-notifications-in-cyberduck-300x157.jpg will understand what i mean)

Please let me know how to go about it.

Thanks

jim,

its a part of my research. i am trying to understand other gestures that could help sketchup in future. thats why.

center could be 0,0 or arbitrary . I want to be able to draw using keyboard shortcuts. any ideas?

Hi,

I am trying to do a project with sketchup in which i need to automate some drawing tasks.

• How do i add a shortcut for doing something customised? E.g. Ctrl+Shift+2 draws a circle of 20inches radius. Another Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P should Pull it to make a cylinder.

-also if its been implemented through a plugin or script. please point me to the same.

Its something like recording macros within Sketchup, could someone kindly tell me a way to do it?

thanks

thanks for the reply!

so do we get a way if we want to implement C++ TUIO client http://www.tuio.org/?software in a DLL loadable into SketchUp, any ideas ?

Hi,
Can I have some resources for embedding external DLLs within Sketchup or letting it communicate to other scripts that send Win32 COM commands?

Cheers
