Oh wow, thank you! It works great.

It's actually pretty simple and straight forwards. I did hope that start and end positions allow something like this to be done.

Hi!

I have no real experience with coding and I just started familiarizing myself how Ruby works as I need very specialized but simple plugin.
Basically I need to export start and end vertice for every edge. Even for the ones that are connected to each other, which means that shared vertices get exported twice, once for each edge.

For example: (x and Z only)
Edge 1 = ( 0.0, 0.0 ); ( 5.0, 6.0 )
Edge 2 = ( 5.0, 6.0 ); ( 12.0, 8.0 )

And to make it as easy as possible I downloaded TIG's "Export Vertices to CSV" plugin. I studied it to understand how it works and now plan to hopefully modify it according to my needs. I also downloaded TIG's "Coords-Tag from Datum" plugin and also plan to study it to gather more knowledge.

So here is what I'd like to ask before I waste a lot of time:
Is this even possible? If yes, then how difficult would that be?

Also I wouldn't mind any tips.

Regards,
Karl

Doesn't work with 2017 version. I removed the en version of the file.
I made polyline and a face, selected both, clicked "Extensions/FollowAndRotate" but nothing happens, no dialog box.

Did you have a curve selected while searching for the item in the list? Since it is a Context menu item, you need to select an entity that would make it show up there.

Oh, that's how it works. Did not know. Thank you!

Love this tool but is there a way to make a shortcut key for "BZ - Convert to / Polyline" etc?

I guess you refer to the menu entries in the contextual menu. I thought it was possible to assign shortcuts to them.
If not, this is not a big job to make them as regular menu static entries.

Fredo

Yes, in the contextual menu.
Shortcuts can only be assigned in the "Preferences/Shortcuts"? There are options to assign shortcuts to draw polylines etc but did not see any options for converting.
It would be really nice if shortcuts could be added to the contextual menu options aswell.

I think it looks great. Only thing that bothers me is that small pile of dirt near the bridge.

Pictures are not visible?

Haha true. Hopefully I can decorate it before it's new year.

Edit: I managed to add something. I need a day or 2 to decorate it completely but yeah... being lazy is not helping or the large amount of ideas for models.

Bit creepy but looks nice.

I made a smaller version that looks more realistic. It also has a lot less faces.

Thx!
Well I wanted to make a 3D model of a tree without any 2d faces and so I made this. 4mil faces might be a slight overkill but I wanted to see if I can make a full 3D tree.

I expected sketchup to crash when I got over 1-2 million faces but I managed far more before sketchup crashed 1st and 2nd time.

It was really laggy but it was all visible in viewport.

After a long break from sketchup I decided to do something for this Christmas.

I am not entirely happy about the result but I will but some more time into it to make it more natural and realistic.

It has ~10mil edges, ~4mil faces, ~26k components.

wow
That is a lot more than I expected.
Thx for the answer.

Well I got to 180 000 000 edges, 70 000 000 faces, 1 400 000 components

I believe I could get more out before it crashes third time.

For fun I copy and pasted part of the spruce and I managed to get 93 000 000 edges, 36 000 000 faces, 700 000 components and it was all simultaneously visible. And I got that far without a single crash. But after that I tried to hide some of it to copy past more and hopefully get over 100 mil edges but it finally crashed. Nicest thing is that sketchup used only 160mb of ram which is 30mb more than skype...

Hey

I was wondering how many faces, edges, components, groups has anyone managed to fit in a single sketchup model?
I started to model an high poly spruce tree and quick enough the amount of edges, faces, components went out of hand and it started to lag really badly.
It has 2 755 000 edges, 1 376 000 faces, 151 000 components and 10 000 groups. And it is not even half ready....

Also a picture of the spruce on skydrive: http://sdrv.ms/18SRpqP

Very nice!
