Actually I never brows the WH from within SU using its browser window but from my "regular" browser (Firefox). That stays open and on the selection I am in.

Nice work there.

I'm not sure but I wonder if you're thinking of the original thread which was posted in the SketchUp forum.

This is looking interesting.

that first image made me think. how about architect's and engineering scales that can be manipulated and used in SU! And then we can do some calcs on working models of slide rules etc.

I bet one of the Ruby gurus could write a plugin to animate the slide rule, accept inputs and display the results via the scales. We'd have SketchUp: The calculator. 😄 🤣

Or what if you export the coloured parts separately (with a transparent background for instance) and overlay it onto the greyscale parts in PS? (I know it's just a workaround but easily doable).

Thanks guys. I know it is sort of a useless thing. I just couldn't resist making it though.

Juju, I'm kind of anal about keeping my toys in good shape. I made a very small slit in the plastic so I could put the stylus back when not using it. 😉 🤣

FWIW, I ended up uninstalling the nVidia driver and then, after hooking the monitor up via the DVI cable, I reinstalled it. Evidently the card can't handle resolution settings as high as the monitor will.

Oh well. Like I said, it doesn't come up that often for me at least.

Thanks again for the help.

Thanks

way cool Dave.... 👍

thanks for the reply, dave.... i will give this a try 😄

Thanks for that suggestion but the question was answered a long time ago.

Todd, I hope this makes sense.

Activate the script and pick the point you wish to be the origin. In this case the lower left corner of the top face. I didn't quite know how to illustrate it but the next step would be to drag along the two edges for X and Y directions. It would be a bit like dragging for the ellipse plugin or the Tools on Surface rectangle or ellipse. A total of three mouse clicks would be required: origin, anlong X direction and along Y direction.

Script generates guidepoints at the centers of all circles and arcs on the face that lies on plane defined by the X and Y from the previous step. (In the interest of time I didn't put all the points in these screen grabs.

Leader text callouts applied to centerpoints and a CSV (or Space separated?) is generated with callouts and point coordinates.

A 1.1835 3.20931
B 1.3825 3.261931
C 1.5815 3.316931
and so on.

The holes on this part were originally genetated from a table similar to this. I created a TXT file and imported it with Didier's Points Cloud plugin. I just want to come up with the reverse. In my example there's no need for a Z value.

CLear as mud?

I'm with you guys. It's gotten to the point that after the last time I restarted sketchup to find all my toolbars had turned themselves on and cascaded down the screen to the point that no drawing space was even visible, I decided enough was enough and just undocked all my toolbars. I'm losing significant real estate, but it's worth avoiding the frustration. It would be interesting to see if someone could implement a toolbar manager, as I requested here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=22274 for this type of workflow, as it may solve some headaches for thousands of users.

...good funny idea,Dave!thanks! 👍 🤣

hi

Dave
actually, it's quite expensive

Dave you are the king of styles my friend. 😉

Thank you. I think you might have left out the word "useless", though.

These are kind of fun to make but admittedly they probably aren't all that useful.
