It is well known that if I insert or import a sketchup model indirectly instead of opening it directly with sketchup, it will be automaticaly made a component.

So the problem is, if I creat a dynamic component and save it as sketchup model, I have to explode it when I insert it from component panel. Because sketchup made a new component of it "outside" the saved dynamic component.

If I explode the original dynamic component and save it as sketchup model, all the dynamic informations will be lost.

I also downloaded some dynamic components and insert them into the model, they are perfectly dynamic and there is no need to explode. If I open them directly with sketchup, there are just sub components or groups of the expected dynamic component. I don't know how the authors have made them.

So it must be a way to save the loose sub components of a dynamic compoents as a sketchup model and define it as dynamic component, without losing the dynamic information of it. I can't figure out how to do this. Maybe anyone could tell me that?

Hi Didier Bur, this plugin is very useful for drawing walls.
But now I have one problem with it. The dialog window only displays for the first time I used the plugin. Now it doest show at all and I cant change any parameters...
Can anyone tell me how I can fix it?

I ve already tested it. LSS toolbar also works in sketchup 2014. Thank you so much.

The follow edges tool is brilliant.

Great plugin!

Edit the script with a plain-text editor [Notepad/Notepad++.exe] and add this code at the end

unless file_loaded?(File.basename(__FILE__))
>   UI.menu("Plugins").add_item("Change Arc Segments"){
>     segments=inputbox(["Segments; "],[12],"Change Arc Segments")
>     changearcsegments(segments[0])if segments
>   }
> end
> file_loaded(File.basename(__FILE__))

Thank you!

TIG it's nice of you to share this with us. I think this ruby is very useful but it's convenient to use because everytime I have to type "changearcsegments NNN" in the ruby console...Why not make it possible to be added in the plugin menu and works with a popup window to type in the segment number.
