I used some 1/8" diameter mild steel rod from Home Depot. I had to get that one done in a hurry, so no time to order any high carbon steel online. Seems to work ok, so I'll use up the rest of it before order drill rod or something else.

Ross, we're in the same conditions as you are except we haven't got a greenhouse or grapefruit trees.

My brother bought some Adirondack chairs made out of the plastic-wood decking--Trex or whatever--they are nice because they don't need to be refinished and they are heavy enough so they won't blow away.

I know what you mean about them adding a nice touch to the mood of a model.

Best of the holidays to you.

Looks, that it has something to do with Sketchup LangHandler.rb

Yes, four scripts, plus two supports classes. No real reason why they couldn't all be in one Ruby but it makes the code too big for my tastes.

I've been rushed off my feet the last couple of days (hence the lateness in replying) but I'll see if I can get then posted on here ASAP.

These are some great models

Consider this a bump. I am looking for the exact same thing (I think). What I am doing is nesting some face-me components inside another component that I am making a bunch of copies of. I am then rotating each one of those slightly differently which also rotates the axis of the nested components. I then effectively move the components out by exploding the nesting component and I would like to get all the face-me components to match the global axis. But in my instance, they have now been scaled and I would like to retain that scale. Any readers to this thread have any ideas?

Here's another one he says as they all roll their eyes. 😄

Thanks.

Yes, TIG's script works with Architect Bold. I did this for him as the first thing I did with his script.

Dave,

Thank you!

Thank you, sir. I like them, too. 😉

In my office I have Free SU 6. I can check - unless someone will be faster than me. At home I cannot install Free SU6 for I have Pro and they don't run parallel with each other.

Shaun, your avatar is looking at me 8O

the CadFather strikes again! 💚

EDIT: one more bug, if you go and enter a new (or the same) key for 'add scenes', 'update scenes' etc
it will overwrite your tweak - however it will work as long as once you have set it you leave it alone.

and that is the end for tonight

Maybe you need one of those brain defrag's Tomsdesk was talking about. So do I.

SOunds good. Where can I get one of those?

I must be blind. I can find Special Interest forums at all.

No you are not Dave, the idea was premature and got held off until after the transfer is completed. We will revisit the idea of a WW sub-forum real soon.

Thanks Eric. FWIW, I do try to keep file sizes down when I make my models. Of course they aren't as small as they could be but they are dimensionally accurate and you could take them apart and make working drawings for your wood shop from them.

And that is why I like you to post them 😄 The more ways I can learn to build anything with wood the better off I am.
Thanks.

Thinking about this last night, combining some of my own work with things downloaded from the 3D warehouse, I came up with another feature which would be very useful.

If you could show the number of faces at each level or the amount of memory used, you could tell where the most inefficient parts of your drawing are so that you could speed things up. I have no idea how to do that, or even if it's possible, but it's an idea.

It seems very fashion. I'm thinking to use it for some particular models of secret boxes (construct with wood as material). If u can sand to me a copy, i'll be grateful. This my mail prelligiulio@hotmail.it
