TIG,
One other question: Is there any way to put a prefix before the names of the imported layers when you x-ref a file into your model?
Right now, if I have multiple files I need to x-ref in, and they have the same layer names, but different things on the layers that I want to show, the objects get combined onto one layer in my model. It would be great to have a prefix added to the imported layer names, which would be different for each x-ref.
Just a thought.
Dave.
TIG,
Is the Xref Manager supposed to open automatically when I open my SketchUp file (that contains x-refs)?
Under Xref Settings, I chose to "Open Xref Manager If Needed" on opening, but it doesn't do it when I open the file.
It would be great to know, as soon as I open the file, if the x-refs need to be updated.
Let me know.
Thanks!
Dave.
PS - Any chance of getting an Icon Toolbar for this Plugin?
CP - Thanks! That worked like a charm.
I do think it would be easier to control if the nodes were directly ON the surfaces that you are trying to deform. So you knew EXACTLY what part of the surface the node controlled.
At least they are in a relative position, now that I've exploded and re-grouped.
Dave.
So i'm using SketchyFFD on a surface I created with SoapSkin Bubble.
It works, however the FFD nodes are not aligned in the group that the surface is drawn. They are created next to the surface. So when I'm editing the nodes, I can't really tell which one is relative to which part of the surface.
Why are my nodes not aligned with my group when they are created?
Am I doing something wrong?
Dave.
