Above is a little enhancement: select the material before typing matTexture in the console.
Regards

@kitesoul99

Here is a little snipet
Open the console, load the RB and type: matTexture

def matTexture()
	model = Sketchup.active_model
	materials = model.materials
	mat = Sketchup.active_model.materials.current
	mat_name = mat.display_name
	texture = mat.texture
	if texture
		t_height = texture.height
		t_width = texture.width
                UI.messagebox( "Material " + mat_name + "\n\nCurrent size:\n" + "Height: " + t_height.to_s + " inches\n" + "Width: " + t_width.to_s + " inches")
        else
                UI.messagebox("No texture applied to this material",MB_OK)
	end
	
end

Please select a material first
Retrieved values are in INCHES
Hope this helps

@Dave-R

Hi,
I made it work with SU2023, there were 2 syntax errors with the Ruby version used at that time (2023). Try it with 2024/2025.

SectionByCam_v0.2.1.rbz

@ptasznick

Hi,
Maybe one of my projection tools will do what you are asking for:

[https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/8f66e284-c0e3-45a9-be6e-e86911a3cf5e/projections-tools](link url)
(an old version is on the plugin store but the latest in on the extensions warehouse)

Click on the second icon (starting from left) to project a face perpendicularly on another face plane.
Hope this helps,

Me again,
Same goes for door_lintel.rb

door_lintel_uncrypted.zip

Hi all,
My baby is quite old now
Here is the non-encrypted version. Please unpack in your Plugins dir.
No update because I haven't SU2024.

Yesssss ! Deleting all faces before using find_faces WORKS.
Thanks a lot TIG

Oh and iterating through the inner edges array and use edge.find_faces doesn't help...

@TIG

Thanks TIG.
Unfortunately intersect_with_instance doesn't work. I tried to insert short edges at intersections that are an issue, but this doesn't solve the problem either.
So next step is to compute everything 'virtually' (storing the inner edges (not as Sketchup::Edge)) in an array and drawing all edges at the end of the process.
I wonder why the API works OK at the top level of the model but doesn't do the same job in a group or component context...

Hi,

As you know, Sketchup.break_edges is always set to true by defaut.
My script generates several lines in a group context. As you will see in the animation, 2 lines crossing the face have been drawn but they are not break when the second one is drawn.
The resulting number of faces within the group is 2 instead of 4.
The resulting number of edges within the group is 10 instead of 12.
Running the script in a component context does the same.
Why that ?
I didn't find a workaround. Any idea ?

@ SU2024 and Door-Lintel users:

Hi,
I don't have SU2024 installed on my PC.
Maybe some developer (TIG ?) will update the plugin ?
So here it is.

@pipinek and freeagent:

Hi,
Take a look at this: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/1284-dbur_ucsmanager_v1_0_0
Basically it's an 'axes manager' but besides that the 6 views can be changed absolute to the main axes or relatively to your custom set of axes.

Hi,

You can also take a look at this post: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2667-componentsplus
There is a command in this plugin to export all groups as components in one go.
Regards,

Hi AISMebel,

Below is what you can do:
Browse your disk to your Plugins folder to find a sub-folder named 'tt_draw_bb'

• open the file 'core.rb' in that folder (using a'pure' text editor)
• find line #118
• add the following line:

ents.add_cpoint( Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5, face[0], 0.5, face[1]))

• save the core.rb file and restart SketchUp.

Hi syahirXIII,

The message shown on your image pops up when the reveal's face loop is made of more than 4 edges.
Please check if this is the case on the face that doesn't work.

Hi all,

I've gathered 6 utilities together in this plugin to add tools to the groups and components functionalities, especially a 'search component' dialog that is handy when you are dealing with hundreds of components definitions.

PluginStore page here: https://sketchucation.com/plugin/2667-componentsplus

Enjoy

Hi,

Mr Hide by Fredo6 is all what you need (and more, I guess)
