Hi Thomas,

thank you very much. It worked.
Also my thanks to box and Kristoff for your effort.

On my laptop was the "sandbox.rb" available. I now have it copied into the plugin folder on my desktop PC. Now I get this error message.

Hi Kristoff,

No I did none of this rb's in my plugins folder.

There it looks like

Hi Box,

There is no sandbox! On my laptop it is available under su_sandbox.

Charly

Can anyone help me? In Sketchup 2013 my sandbox tool is missing. I have checked everything including the Resources folder.

As a private hobby user I see no reason at the moment to switch to SketchUp 2013.
Sketchup 8 meets my needs until now.

I would rather pay the full price when truly revolutionary innovations are introduced. One of which would be, for example, a high processing speed with high poly models. A better customizable menu structure would also be desirable.

Hi,

I see the whole thing realistic. I asked myself what I would do if I were standing at Trimbels place. Trimble is a profit-oriented company like many others. "Trimble" will ensure the professional user in the center, in conjunction with his Tekla software package. I suspect that they will try to integrate "SketchUp" into this system. Accompany it must surely an improvement of core SketchUp. What needs to be improved depends on the objectives. This, unfortunately, we do not know.

The second group would be the professional users who do not move into the Tekla scene. A standalone version of SketchUp would be still necessary for this group. These are the two major groups with which money can be earned.

Then the free version of SketchUp would continue to dispose of the remaining users.

So we can only wait and see where the road goes, let's wait. Otherwise, we still have Sketchup 8, with all its quirks and the incredibly good Ruby programmers.

Hi to All,

every time I want to post a reply, a picture of the SketchUp Preferences appears. Why is this happening?

Charly

The thing has done himself, the image is gone.

Hi TIG

Some may not know that there are two "Lattice Plugins" from you. I find both very helpful. Would it be possible for you to bring both together in order to get these different results.

Charly

If we are to trust the tool, "Test time display". Then would be "Sketchup 2013," a bit faster. Whether this also has an impact on the plugins I can not judge.

Hi Pilou,

I also tried it again with a similar geometry, but there are no coplanar edges. Why is that?

Hello Burkhard,

see the pictures below

Dear Chris,

I have now found that you are represented in the "Plugins menu" three times. Is that intentional from you?

I have all the clf_plugins piece by piece deactivated and found out that the "clf_arc_centerpoint_finder.rb" caused the error. After reinstalling everything works perfectly again. Sorry.

Charly

I have to correct myself, even in "Sketchup 2013," an error message appears.

Yes I have more plugins from you, see picture below.

No reason, I have to thank you. Another note, in Sketchup 2013 it works fine.

Hi Chris,

I installed the new update but now get an error message.

Charly

I've done the speed test in both versions. I do not know if this is due to improvements!
