@driven said: @slbaumgartner said: John, do you have a custom WebKit installed? Or some kind of PDF viewer plugin? Are you insinuating that I may have tampered with my SU instal;) I have the standard WebKit SU WebDialog doesn't seem to use Safari's WebKit built-in PDF — from file “”. MIME Type Description Extensions application/pdf Portable Document Format pdf but instead seems to be using Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 9.5.2 — from file “AdobePDFViewer.plugin”. Nice plugin scanner, John! I got Adobe Acrobat and Reader Plug-in for Web Browsers, Version 9.0.0 — from file “AdobePDFViewer.plugin”. So maybe there's a version sensitivity involved? In any case, it seems to support Dan's feeling that PDF display via WebDialog is not reliable from machine to machine.. Steve

... which is why the model where "millions of users freely modeling Google Earth manually with SketchUp" was a losing model. We are fortunate that Google did not shelve SketchUp, and sold it to Trimble.

v1.0.1 download Moved to Plugins forum. Old v1.0.0 deleted. THIS thread retitled as "[Talk] Qpik::SimpleRays Overhaul"

@socolavn95 said: Any update or plugins similar to this. It seems that Isolate function does not work well with SU 2017~ I was actually working on an update back in 2016, but never published it. I'm unsure if I ever finished the intended work on it. This was 5 years before the addition of the Tags/Layers folder feature. There is a newer version of this extension by another coder, but their edition did not properly namespace their code (with their own namespace module) so it will clash with mine if I publish my updates. @haymaker said: I would like to be able to do the same thing with the 'isolate' and 'hide tags' button, however the 'show all in context' does not restore the tag profile you had before isolating them. Am I missing something here? ... Is it possible to add a button to restore the previous tag setting? this would make an awesome plugin a game changer. As said above, I've not been into the code for this extension in ~7 years. I am currently working on another layer/tag control extension that will be commercial (for a small fee.) I might fold some of the old features from this extension into the new extension. (I dislike a bunch of little extensions with "nitty" features. I prefer to bundle these various "nitty" features together into a single "themed" extension.

@dan rathbun said: Can I use a selector path like in CSS? Exactly! @dan rathbun said: OK so what does it return if nothing found ?? null ? http://api.jquery.com/jQuery/ @unknownuser said: If no elements match the provided selector, the new jQuery object is "empty"; that is, it contains no elements and has .length property of 0. <span class="syntaxdefault"><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">if&nbsp;(&nbsp;$(</span><span class="syntaxstring">'body#someid'</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">).</span><span class="syntaxdefault">length&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">>&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxdefault">0&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxkeyword">)&nbsp;{<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br />&nbsp;</span><span class="syntaxdefault"></span>

I thot maybe a <![CDATA[ block, but the editor lexer does not indicate it will work.

I understood it was an example, but the logic of the code told me it accepted primitives, and primitives didn't work like they should have, nor did the duration work as expected. As an example, for its intent, it's fine and I would not bother (other than adding comments for the learner) with any additional enhancements. Todd

Hi There, The measuring tool is definitely a must have. Clients are always after numbers after all

Note: Even running from a thumb drive, the SketchUp Viewer applet still writes into the CurrentUser Hive of the Windows Registry. %(#804000)[HKCU\\Software\\Google\\Viewer] Weirdly... the following key is created but never used: %(#804000)[HKCU\\Software\\Google\\SketchUpViewer8]

@dan rathbun said: @thomthom said: But when I have inspected .skp files I saw no duplicate of any attributes blocks - and the attributes data blocks where in UTF-16. I wonder if we could use Zlib to compress data before writing it to dictionaries ?? I'd love to be able to use zipping in my projects. Think I looked at it some time ago and people had tried to find ways to make it work properyl within SketchUp ruby with mixed results..

Hurray! We hit the century vote mark!

If it was made using Sketchup any old doodle would do. If it was handed over to their corp artist and made elsewhere? Says a bit about the union. An intelligent CEO would have his artists embrace Sketchup as the sole tool for this.

Yes it should, and now is. Updated the code. (I was uniq!'ing in the calling methods, and at the last moment replaced several in those methods, by adding the .uniq! to the return statement. I did think about which uniq to use, for a split-second, and didn't want to create a new array object, so I added ! to the end. That's what happens when ya' rush.) Thanx for the check TIG!

If that's Ruby, then I love Ruby too! Thanks Dan. I perused the book, and as someone who hasn't a clue it looked to me like it is well written, and should be easy for the beginner to get a grasp.

UPDATED TOPIC - added PDF in first post.

Putting this on the back burner until I get some feedback.

Great Idea, I was wondering how to do that. Done.

I thot it resembled one of the blueprint like styles.
