    • RE: [Talk] Plugins Index

      Thanks Dan, I will start the terms of use trawl, and send PMs out where appropriate, when I get home. Shouldn't complain, after the work that you plugin people have saved me over the years - not to mention the things that I simply wouldn't be able to do at all! Fingers crossed there aren't too many restricted plugins though..

      Actually, do you think the index page might have an icon range for the copyright/terms for each plugin? (Same icon, different colour according to restriction status?) Probably a whole new can of worms...

    • RE: [Talk] Plugins Index

      Hi, just a little query that I've not been able to find an answer for.. I've been using the formidable sketchucation plugins for a long time, while I was an architecture student, but now I've joined a large archtiectural practice and would like to know whether it's ok to use the plugins for commercial work?
      Naturally, those that come with a price attached like ThomThom's amazing vertex tools would not be available (or would they?), but how about the vast majority of others?
      The practice I'm working at is quite resistant to Sketchup so I'm fighting an uphill battle, but they've said that I can load in my plugins library if I can prove that to do so will not contravene anyone's copyright/commercial restrictions.

      Many thanks. apologies if this is the wrong thread/forum.
      Ben
      Ps it's only when you go to the forums of other software that you realise quite how amazing the Sketchup community is (not to name names, but one's the sound a frog makes, and the other is a stopping place for really small locomotives - if you catch my drift?)

      Thanks sdmitch! That'll do the trick and might save others a little time too. Great plugin. Not only did it save me time, but I couldn't see another way of resolving my modeling challenge. Cheers BuddyH

    • RE: [Plugin] Follow Me Helix (Updated 06-Jan-2012)

      First off, thank you for such a useful plugin - I've been making handrails for spiral staircases so it's been invaluable.

      I've had a couple of problems with fractions on making higher resolution helix. My working figures have been for 194mm riser at radius 1150mm with risers at 30 degree increments but when I subdivide my figures to create a smoother helix a bug seems to appear (disclaimer, my maths isn't so hot but I've checked as far as I can). so, doubling resolution to 97 and 15 works as expected but doubling again to 48.5mm and 7.5degrees causes the dialogue to disappear with no geometry result. Has anyone else encountered this, or can maybe suggest a way I can create a smoother helix curve?

      ps though I've been a daily reader for quite a while this is my first post to SketchUcation so apologies for the clunkiness of this mail!
