thanks Didier...as always!

i can't get the balustrade components to show up in the dialog box
Didier didn't actually mention where the components are picked up from...

so it's either supersimple and i should just go to bed or grateful if anyone has had some success with this and could let me know...thanks

no but seriously (insert seriously smiley) - all these geniuses... the @last folks came up with follow me, stamp and create mesh...great ideas, remember?

now i think the kindness and generosity of these masters has been beyond words.. ...very... grateful

..to have a 'driveby' plugin where you can lay a path on a terrain and have a profile follow it while keeping the car flat on the ground... wuooh (missing a smiley again)

...to see some of these sirs work together to such achievement... TIG, Didier, Hal Rick and all those others...perhaps we could organise a ruby base camp in a warm resort where they would work in leasure (while we make sure they don't just go surfing)

the labourer deserves his/her wages ...who would buy this tool?

this is what SU has been lacking for too long a time.. lucky Erez made that little gem called simuterra..still it would be great to have a tool that combines extrude along path and follow me and....... stays put at the same time.

wouldn't mind paying if such a tool was conceived

come on folks let's get the collection going!

the CadFather strikes again!

EDIT: one more bug, if you go and enter a new (or the same) key for 'add scenes', 'update scenes' etc
it will overwrite your tweak - however it will work as long as once you have set it you leave it alone.

and that is the end for tonight

that's right, @last folks must have forgotten to let google people know..

here's a ruby script that will tell you the proper name, you just have to write that over the unusable one.

SHORTCUTS.zip

got it - the problem is that it saves the key as 'add page'
instead we need it under 'View/Animation/Add Scene'

i have added it to the registry manually (saved the key) now it works

what key do you normally use?

that's strange because it does on mine...i mean all the others..let me try with add scenes..

who knows maybe a bug

wow, just tried (twice) the add scene doen't work
mine is F12 i will try a different key

..fantastic - i just went and tried it on a 'new' pc - it all worked..

and on my daughter's laptop! all my settings, cuts, rubys... everything........my sketchup portable

on my computer it was quite simple - everything worked, toolbars layouts and keyboard shortcuts.
(which differ much from google)

i'm attaching 2 files cleaner and master. first back up the key (has to be this key and all inside) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Google\SketchUp6] on your pc. (ex. dave.reg)

you can keep regedit open at the key > run cleaner.reg and you will see the key disappear.
if you open SU now you will see the interface go back to default..

and...there is a new key in the registry called.. guess what? [Sketchup6]

now close SU and run cleaner.reg again > double click on the dave.reg key you saved before
and start SU.......

REGS.zip

hi Dave

maybe it can help, take a look at the post su settings forever
dead link

all the shortcuts are also saved - tried it - it works (@Last)

sure it's not from a ruby - but i only need to click the registry file..

after 3 hours i realised i'm heading for an impossible task - of so many scripts, some are encripted.. the new ones with the dollar sign seem uneditable - went to smustard and other places but many i was sure were copyrighted are not listed anymore.. and it's 2am

ok will need more sinapses than i fired.....

some of you might remember (or even used) a congregation of plugins called rubyset or rubymenu. it had been my attempt
to organise all those scripts into a neat looking plugin menu (see attachment). it started from a ruby Didier had written. subsequently i appropriated it and messed around with the code ( ) in the hope i could refresh my conscience and contribute a little to the generosity of the masters...

in the last few months i slowly managed to recreate the rubyset for SU6 - my intention now is to edit the menus so that i can post it here without the gems for which i paid (didn't notice i made that mistake last year). it will take a bit as i will have to find out which ones are copyrighted etc..

anyway here's my request: suppose a ruby script (that works with xml or whatever..) and i could have a menu that can popup
and stay open, then drag and drop and move my plugins a la windows start menu.

...or anything else to sort those thing out!!

(nowadays when i right click, i need to turn the screen in portrait to view all the items)

hi Tom...this should be posted in the ruby forum... it was actually one of the many questions i never remember to ask. in my case i prefer modelling with 5 and just use 6 for sketch render or photomatch..

all i could think of (on a pc): ended up placing two shortcuts in my 'send to' menu (right click menu), v5 and v6 - i find that the easiest after google mixed it all up,,,,,

..exactly - i'd be perfect for the job..

let's call it democratic dictatorship...

well Coen - i might be the cadfather but you are the boss...let's go for it!

yes.. well...it may not work after all...

i guess the main idea is that who want to post a script (new or newer), posts it here so that it is easier to keep track.
nobody wants to download jewel.rb v13.07 when 5 mins later v 13.78 is already out (those master are fast!)

of course there are many other places - i remember Didier being the first to gather the treasure and going strong (great new look).. but for this forum (Coen is just beginning to realise!) a repository might protect the life span of our moderators.

anyway thanks to all - who knows when the SketchUcation 3D basecamp will be? (and that europe of course...)

hey Coen that's way fast!! chill out!

thanks Didier,
i think i did it right - did try a registry trick but it didn't work... and this business has been around so long...

sure.. but really i'm looking for a response from the gurus of ruby - whether they think it's a good idea - some of them have websites etc
