Thank you Fredo!!!
I didn´t imagine that you were going to surprise us so soon with another awesome plugin

Your assumption that only edges that are not ‘Soft’, ‘Hidden’ or ‘Soft’ can be selected is a great idea and the Explicit and Implicit selection is fantastic too.

I tried the plugin and the problems that I have are the ones of the "known problems" on the PDF. Hope that you can fix the issues of Adjacent Convex and Concave edges and the Sheared surfaces before the incorporation of the custom profiles feature. Perhaps will add to the list of problems when there is something like the attached image.

Thank you again Fredo!,

P.S. I´m thinking: If only one person can make all this incredible plugins so quick with limited time... what the SU team working full time on SketchUp will bring to us on SU7??

The idea will be that the plugin add scenes, so maybe we can use the sketchup output to export the scenes as animation.
And this can make possible to render every scene and have a photoreal sketchyphysics animation.

It should be easy to modify to use a timer instead of an event.

Do you think that can work with SketchyPhysics? I mean.. create something like 25 scenes per second?

Thank you, now is working!!!! You are correct, i use big icons and now the toolbar show them right, tested on two computers ...

Thank You!!!
Daniel S

On a second computer with Win xp is not showing the icons too

Yes, i get the tooltip.

Daniel S

Hi Fredo!!

3D TEXT... ON SURFACE

I think that 3D text on surface will be easily made with the drape on surface tool.

Here Fredo explains the drape on surface and uses the example of text:

I don´t know if it´s possible to make, but the "move on surface" tool is a great idea!!
Thank you again for your plugins Fredo!!!

SketchUp uses 16 x 16 for small icons
and 24 x 24 for large ones.

This is Awesome! keep on with the project, please. Do you need help with the icons? i have changed a little my sketchup, so maybe i could help. Thanks again!

Ibon.. can you share the icons of the bezier tool and the ones for the tools on surfaces (offset and line on surface)? They look really great!!!

Daniel S

Try this:

Inside SketchUp go to Window > Preferences > Extensions.
In the System Preferences look for subdivide and smooth and mark it like other extensions.
Hope that works with this.
Look at the attached image.

There are a lot of ruby scripts that do what you want.

But I recommend Joint Push Pull by Fredo6:
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=6708

It has 3 types of push/pull... I think that you want to use in this case the normal push/pull. You select all the faces you want and then push/pull all together.

Daniel S

Hope with SU7 we can have a more powerful follow me.

I have a request...

The Line on Surface has Point inferences. Can it have linear inferences too?

I don´t know how to explain it well so i try to make a understable image. If you color the line by axis this can´t be done so it´s very strange what i´m requesting.

In the image in "1" is what i try to say about linear inference.
In "2" how draw line on surfaces works and is difficult to get the result of "3".
In "3" the request

Hi fredo...

About the offset on surface the external offset deletes the original surface... is there a way to keep the original surface like in the previous version? In the image I put in "1" the external offset, in "2" the actual result and in "3" what i´m trying to get.

About the icons and cursors i tried to make them.. but i can´t do the ones with Cline. The ones i can don´t look very good... but i post them here.

Icons tools on surface.zip

Awesome like always!!!

Thank You!!!

Daniel S

Of course that the image is not the new SketchUp..

Google uses sketchup for google earth...

well, Microsoft has done something similar:

I say we wait for the official news!!!

Daniel S

Strange... I always use this plugin and never have this problem.
Perhaps you have groups inside groups?
What you can try is to explode all.. Select all.. group all, and explode2groups.
I think that there is no limit for the number of groups because I have use it to create more than 600 groups.
