I'm wondering if the the free version of SU6 supports the extension scripts like Projection and House Builder? It seems to me the previous free version didn't but I don't know if that changed with SU6.

RE: Virtual R/C Flight Simulation...
I've used that one in the hobby store, too. It is pretty amazing how realistic that stuff is. I've not put in enough time to figure out how realistic the flight characteristics are though. I've been resisting the urge to buy it since I have a little helicopter and a plane that I rarely seem to fly. If I bought the sim I'd get "the look" from my wife since she thinks I spend too much time on SketchUp already. She might even make me sleep in the garage. There's heat but a tablesaw is not the place to get a good night's sleep.

RE: Cloud.rb update
Didier, thank you for this script. I seem to be having difficulty with it though. I get the dialog box and it tells me there will be 14 points imported. When I click on OK it goes immediately to the Select cursor which was selected before. No construction points are generated. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the carriage return character that is shown in the Line Sample. You can see it in the screen grab.

RE: Zomadicam: A SketchUp to Shopbot Partfile Generator
This is cool! I've always wanted a ShopBot and now I want one even more. There's no room for one in my shop though.

Some Recent Sketches
A chair based on one by Jared Rusten
An outfeed stand for my woodshop.
Lightweight planking clamps I made when planking the cradle boat I built for my son.
Thanks for looking.

RE: Style Thumbnailer
Jim, the thumbnailer works fine on my computer but I can't seem to change the shadow selection from Both and I can't change the exported file name. It appears to be set to the SKP file name only. If this is the case, perhaps you could set it to show in the Save dialog?
Interesting idea for a script. I might be able to find an application for it, too.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
I think I have that one. I need to look.
Thanks again.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
Ha! I got it! I edited the entry changing it from pageAdd: to View/Animation/Add Scene and now I have a shortcut.
Woo hoo! Thank you sir. Now we need to tell the world.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
Hmm. So how does that look in the Registry. In other words, what would I type to add that to mine?
The curious thing is that I have U set to updatescenes and it shows in the Registry as pageUpdate: and no reference to scene.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
The SketchUp folks acknowledged awhile ago that there were a few user set shorcuts that don't stick after setting. Add scenes was one.
That is why I was hoping for a Ruby script that would run at SU startup (like the one that calls the Select tool instead of the Pencil) and set the shortcuts by reading the preferences.dat file that is generated when you click Export in the Shortcuts setting dialog box.
I use Alt+A to add a scene but it won't stick ether.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
So, let me see if I understand this. If I open SU and set the shortcut I want to add scenes and then export the entire SketchUp registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Google\SketchUp6] and save it as dave.reg, I should be able to double click on dave.reg and then open SU to find that shortcut is still active?
What confuses me is that with SU closed the the Registry, under Settings shows there is a shorcut set for Pageadd: but when I open SU the shortcut doesn't work.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
Actually, I ran your cleaner and then went back and reset SU manually. that got rid of the bug splat.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
The two files in the zip file are SU_Clearer and SU_Training. Is that right?
For some reason, after looking at the registry and attempting the moves from your other thread I am now getting Bug Splats upon closing SU. I was going to uninstall it all and reinstall but now I wonder if your cleaner should be run instead.

RE: Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
Thanks. I saw cadfather's post just before leaving work. I copied the registry file after I had made the shortcut for adding scenes. It appears in the registry but I haven't found the secret to getting the shortcut activated from that saved file. I get messages asking me if I want to add that info to the correct registry but there's no change in SU. I've tried it before opening SU and after. So what am I doing wrong?
Edited to add: the shortcut shows in the registry but doesn't show as set when I go to Window>Preferences>Shortcuts
By the way, it's that Scene Add thing I'm after.

Shortcuts Plugin Possible?
As I'm sure all are aware, in version 6 there are some user set shortcuts that won't stick. It's been a problem since the first beta release and must be low on Google's repair list since it still hasn't been fixed.
So, with that in mind, I'm wondering if it would be possible to write a script that runs on startup that would set the shortcuts based on a previously exported shortcut list. My thought is that one would go through and set the shortcuts as desired, click Export and save the file to some location that the script would look for when SketchUp is started the next time.
What do you think? Is it possible? Difficult?

RE: Select by Group Name?
My "quick selection" script has been updated (d/l available at my site) to avoid wrong dropdown lists with lots of same components/groups names.

RE: Style Help Please
Thank you Gai,
I rember that it was earlier this week that I saw it. In fact it was on the 15th. What bothers me the most is that I can't remember where I saw it or exactly what I saw.
Oh well, I'll keep playing. I think I'm close.
