I used Doublecad all day at work today, worked perfectly, the only thing I couldn't work out is how to scale a hatch. BUT when I came to save as a dwg, DoubleCAD just hung and I lost about half a days work. Really annoying but I can't say that AutoCAD never crashed. I will persevere with DoubleCAD, the interface is lovely.

Select the Hatch ,select propertys and adjust the scale.

Hello to you all,

I wanted to add some entities to an existing group.
You would expect that when you select multiple entity’s ,you just keep Ctrl pressed and click on entity’s to add to your selection or you press shift to add/subtract entity’s from the selection.
It seemed so obvious that I tried to do the same thing with an existing group of entity’s ,to add other entity’s to this group ,using shift or ctrl and selecting an other entity.
It didn’t work so I went fort by, exploding the existing group and using shift to add entity’s to the current selection, and than regrouping the selection.
The problem with the method is that if you just once miss-click an entity you lose all of them in your selection.
I looked all over the help guide, the tutorials the forums and the existing ruby,s.,
and posted the question on this forum. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13910
-I used the select->cut->open group->paste in place method, witch is easier but still isn’t exactly what I was looking for.
-The outliner tool doesn’t do the job either, because it only recognises groups and components, but no lines or faces.
I saw some one struggling today with a similar quest at http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=17370, so I am not the only one.
The easy tool/method expected to be in Sketchup just dos not seem to exist at this moment.

So my question is: does one of the ruby masters wants to make a ruby to have this feature.

I think an intuitive method could work like this:

• Select an existing group or component.
• Activate ‘the Ruby”
• expand the previously selected group or component with what you will next select.
• You can make this (or any) group or component editable with a double click.
• Subtract from this editable group or component, the entities that you will now
  select.
• Click outside of this group to get back to the “expand mode”.
• You should be able to switch from adding to subtracting back and forth until you
  are ready and , and activate another tool.

Goh Chun Hee,
I get the following error when opening SketchUp 7.0.

Error Loading File 1001bit_loader.rb
undefined method `+' for nil:NilClass

I also was not able to activate the license.
I copied and pasted the information, then clicked activate but nothing happened.
The program looks very cool though!
I'm looking forward to trying it out.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi markitekt,

Maybe you made the same mistake i did ,by copying not the 1001bit_tools.rbs file but the 1001bit_loader.rb
into the plugins folder ,this mistake resulted in the same error message.

Is there an easy, "one click way" to add or substract entity's to or from a existing group.
Am i overlooking something ?

I assume when you say armour-fiber that would include fiber glass?[/quote]
Yes ,glass-fiber ,carbonn fiber, polyester-fiber,etc the fiber and resin must match
The type of fiber-resin wil give the strength and look to the the design (if not painted).

Hi Modelhead,

I would use PVC Fubing to experiment with.
A plumber could give you tecnical advice on welding gluing bending etc. of thise pipes.
Ask the plumber to sponsor you with scrap pieces of big diameter PVC pipes and bends for your experiment.
For the actual instrument i would use a technic used by Ortopedic technicians,
They first use a Gypsum inner mould ,cover this with a thin water-suluble plasic foil(PVA),then cover this
with a armour-fiber or textile ,then cover this with a second layer af plastic.
Then vacuum-suck a 2 component resin inbetween the two layers of plastic to impregnate and bond with the armour-fiber.
After curing ,you can finish the piece with normal tools.
Think about if you want to re-use your mold,and adapt your design to it.
