Thank you

There does not seem to be a way to select which object the others are to align with. I've tried selecting #1 first and then #2, but get the same result if I select #2 first then #1.

It would be very helpful if you could effectively say "make the other(s)" align with "this one"

Seems to have a lot of promise: I now have an icon on the desktop that automatically opens SketchUcation

I found a nice free HDRI of the milky way that I used since My ultimate goal is a space battle I thought it appropriate.

Best,
Jason.

Altogether neat! I preferred the shiny one though.

That's a neat HDRI: care to say where you got it?

I believe these capabilities will put SU into a whole new level of excellence.
SU is great program by itself, but the plugins by you masters are what give the real power to SU.
Many thanks (to you all)

We seem to be getting a real variety here with group-naming plugins:

We have Thom's basic group-naming plugin at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=23582
and Jim's plugin at
http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=9318 which adds the drop-down list capability

This one makes the layer name the same as the group name.

Could you attach the file,please? (Maybe a "before" and an "after" version of the same geometry in it)

Here is is. i tried rounding the corners on the left hole and it is gone. the hole on the right is untouched. Please help! i tried erasing the center and the only way it shows up is if i delete some lines on the roundover

I clicked on the area where the left hole should be. It was "filled in" as evidenced by the blue dots. I then deleted the "blue dot" area and was left with a rounded edge hole as expected.

@gaieus said:

What happens if you delete the circle(s)? Is the rounded edge there underneath?

I use this quite often to round the edges of holes. It is normal for the hole to be "filled", but when you delete the new "filled" area, your are left with the hole with rounded edges.

Drilling Milling[/url] by Menfin (French and English version)

This looks like it would be very handy, but the forum is in French (only) and doesn't allow download without being a member of the forum.

just like the attachments
by the way these toolbars i use a hotkey to show and hide. that i can have a large workspace.
and the commands i asign a hotkey to them throw the "help"menu. and store in a file.

How do you do this?

This is just such an incredible set of plugins that I had to jump into this thread to say Thank You again.

I got a batch with updates for my other plugins lined up that will be released soon. Then focus will turn towards Vertex Tools. (the work on the other plugins benefits Vertex Tools, but indirectly.)

Well I have all the rest of your plugins so "bring them on"

@thomthom said:

Once I got that system polished I plan to add it to VT 1.1 along with some other improvements.

You've been so prolifically busy lately: have you had a chance to work on this?

@unknownuser said:

I reinstalled the keepers and I am back in business.

I did the same and life became a whole lot better
Now I do a test after I add any new ruby to see if my (or new) gremlins come back.

Thanks, TIG.

Will they loose their high quality as a result of this process?

Is there any way to use .prc graphics files in SU?

Thank you, TIG. A really useful addition.

Thanks, Spence: I'll give it a try

So, I just installed DivX and gave it a whirl, awesome, it worked so slick and the export was very fast. It looked super good.
If anyone would like to try, check out the difference between codecs like the default (I thinks it's Sorenson) and DivX. DivX is so much smoother, no where near as much jitter. http://www.divx.com/DivX

Which DivX codec: MEV, H264, AAC, AVI ?
