    • [observer issue] onEraseEntities not working?

      **I made some tests with EntityObserver and EntitiesObserver classes and it looks like onEraseEntities method doesn't work, or I don't know how to use it?
      I tried the same thing with onEraseEntity and it works.

      This didn't worked. Nothing happens

      
      class MyEntitiesObserver < Sketchup;;EntitiesObserver
      	def onEraseEntities(entities)
      		puts "Erased; " + entities.to_s
      	end
      end
      
      begin
      x = 0
      	Sketchup.active_model.entities.each do |e|
      			e.add_observer(MyEntitiesObserver.new)
      			x += 1
      	end
      	puts 'Observer was added to ' + x.to_s + ' elements.'
      end
      
      

      This told me what I wanted to see:

      
      class MyEntityObserver < Sketchup;;EntityObserver
      	def onEraseEntity(ent)
      		puts "Erased; " + ent.to_s
      	end
      end
      
      begin
      x = 0
      	Sketchup.active_model.entities.each do |e|
      		e.add_observer(MyEntityObserver.new)
      		x += 1
      	end
      	puts 'Observer was added to ' + x.to_s + ' elements.'
      end
      
      ```**

    • RE: Observer problem onDeleteModel ?

      @jim said:

      I would guess the onDeleteModel method only fires on a Mac which can have multiple models open simultaneously.

      I tend to agree that your guess is right ! πŸ˜„ If it's confirmed, maybe it would be appropriate that this mention to be added in SU Ruby Api (Google guys do this? )

    • Observer problem onDeleteModel ?

      **I tried this, according with Ruby Api:

      
      class MyModelObserver < Sketchup;;ModelObserver
      	def onDeleteModel(model)
      		UI.messagebox("onDeleteModel; " + model.to_s)
      	end
      end
      Sketchup.active_model.add_observer(MyModelObserver.new)
      
      

      but I had the unpleasant surprise to see that nothing happens when deleting something.
      Should I use entity observer? I will give it a try, but I suspect that is my answer. Anyway, this post stays because I want to understand what "model" means.
      When this observer reacts?**

    • RE: Seamless texture techniques

      @unclebim said:

      I use GIMP and the Low Frequency Even filter (http://registry.gimp.org/node/24636) when needed, followed by the Texturize filter (http://gimp-texturize.sourceforge.net/). Most of the time it gives good results although the texturizer tends to crash at more the 500x500px.

      Ahh, this is why I never could use that plugin πŸ˜„ ... I tried again and it was a first ! πŸ˜„
      -but this means that my image must be less than 250x250 px 😞

      OMG !!! This is the most awesome plugin I ever seen for SU !
      do you take something? Drugs, or have you been hit by the lightning and since then you have a sort of super-powers? πŸ’š
      Good luck with it! Can't wait to see it finished !

      Well, you can say a lot of things about SU but that it weren't intuitive? πŸ˜•

      Well, when I first got in touch with SketchUp (it was v.5, as I can remember), I made a cylinder, then I gave up πŸ’š - I admit that first time I never looked at any video, just clicked some times.
      After two years I remembered about it and decided to give it a chance. And her we are: married for life. I don't want to hear about autocad πŸ˜†

    • RE: Sketchup at AA

      Well, somebody had to talk this way about sketchup... there must be The Opposition in a free society πŸ’š .
      I have also seen (in a discussion page, can't remember where), a guy who said that he hates this program and that he never could work on such a spastic program - even his username was "I HATE YOUR PROGRAM". πŸŽ‰
      If they decided to spend some time and writing that, it's clear that Sketchup got their attention πŸ˜†
      After reading it I was disappointed, it's so superficial... I appreciate a good criticism, but here was not the case 😞

      @ely862me said:

      Start by making the contour of the clothes pull what need to be pulled stretch the geometry ,rise some lines and apply the texture on it.

      So, you mean to start from a horizontal base and go up?
      Sorry, I don't have much experience (and intuition - which is developed by experience, after all πŸ˜„ ) in modelling organic stuff.
      But there must be a start for everything, right?

      Problems with SU8 ? It stucks at some point. After selecting both straight line and curve, it says 1% End @ (1 of 5) Searching for objects to explode.
      And the progress bar is doing nothing.

    • A hanged cloth model pleeease?

      I need some kind of hanged cloth model, but something to "wear". I found this http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dbb09c8bde3ec2c119bea36737d5c9cb&prevstart=0, but are towels 😞.
      If anyone have something and is willing to share it, I will be thankful.
      It don't have to be detailed, but to look a little natural being hanged in a clothes tree, or some kind of pin.

      Thanks in advance.

      The problem is that u have diagonals and the round plugin won t be able to give u a good result.
      U can run it and then clean the geometry and add the missing faces manually.

      It looks like you could do it. Would you give me the skp file?

    • Please help me round this

      I have some problems rounding the highlighted parts on this model.
      I would be grateful if some of you can help me. I scaled the model a lot, so the rounding radius is about 1.5 - 2m, the strict value is not so important. And the accuracy of rounding is 3 segments.

      Thank you very much.

    • Custom Toolbar Plugin updated? or NOT ?

      Hy, I use Custom Toolbar plugin and I read here that it has been updated http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2008/06/custom-toolbars-release-08-06-01.html but, nothing like that 😞. Link is dead.

      Does anybody knows something about this?

      @Jim: could it be somehow updated, so it accept any plugin which have a toolbar button? πŸ˜„ Instead of having dozens of small toolbars, I would like to have let's say 4-5 LONG toolbars with all my tools on them.

      %(#4000BF)[SketchUp for Linux

      We hear this request all the time, but realistically we’re not likely to ever make a version of SketchUp that runs as a native client application on Linux. However, SketchUp can be run effectively on Linux using Wine, and we’re keen to improve that where it is practical to do so.]

      Looks good, I think you're understanding DCs. πŸ˜„ Can I ask if you did your attribute "Display Values" in "English"? I noticed some other language on some of the component names. I have a reporting plugin and trying to resolve language issues. Also a thanks, your HTML markup inside the DC attributes helped me realize I need to modify my reporting plugin.

      Values are displayed in metric units, but inside, in Component Attributes, you can see some names in other language (Romanian). I translated only what I considered the user will see/interact. I was tired and in my head I had only DCs πŸ˜†
      Nice component reporter tool! I would like to keep close with you about that ! πŸ˜‰
