Hi,
Thanks all, I will use tags instead of hiding faces now.
Best regards,

This is a great idea, to make grooves I often had to take a few steps, but with this one... in just one step.
But, Sketchup sometimes freezes with this one installed, but when not, it certainly messes with Fredo's Lord of the Toolbars all the time... so I had to disable it (rename the extension, because it does not stay disabled.

P.S.: All DBUR extensions I've tried (and use) so far do not run from a folder other than the native one (except Align_2D_3D and Align_2D).
For this thing I use TT Extension Sources, which is in fact the only true Extension Manager that Sketchup has; the native one is just a shame.

Thank you Didier - very much!

If only there was a company that gave students and educators FREE copies of ALL of their products

Autodesk is doing that: teachers and students can get a set of more than 60 softwares (Autocad, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya...), all fully functional with minor restrictions, licences expiring after 3 YEARS.

Unreal Engine (TwinMotion), Abvent (Archicad, Artlantis, BIM Office...) do so as well, licences expire yearly.

IMHO these are clever long-term strategies...

And I repeat: I ain't no stingy guy until a software publisher charges me even several bucks to promote (in some way) its product.

Yeah, I know this 😉 LOTS of companies do it and STILL make a living. No surprise on Trimble not doing this.

Hi Psylo,

Yes there is, and in TwinMotion as well. 😞
I'm too lazy (for the time being) to provide the option to flip data around XYZ axes...

all a Mac user here, when I click create, nothing happens. its a shame looks like a great extension 😞

Tanks for response

Sorry for the inconvenience, but what's the reason you want to install it with Fredo Tools ?

The Fredo6's AdditionalPluginFolder is a small standalone script providing the capability to define one or several additional user-defined directories to load plugins in Sketchup.

We use 4 licences of SU and it is really interesting to centralize all plugins in 1 place for updates or installations on the 4 machines at the same time.

Edit : Compospray 1.4.2 was working fine with AdditionalPluginFolder after some corrections by TIG.

Sketchup.active_model.name is NOT (always) the same as the SKP file name...

Sketchup.active_model.name

and

Sketchup.active_model.description

are used to set the name and description when you will be using the entire file as a component.

Secondly, these 2 fields are used to set the name and description that will be displayed when using the file as a template.

So it seems that someone who saved the file, renamed it using francais and resaved it under the old english filename.

There are cases when the filename (minus extension) are used to set the component name. Importing an image is one case.

Could 'guides at radial division' detect edges out of context (=nested in outer groups/components)?

@rv1974: Yes it can 😄

@TIG
Thanks for the hint, unfortunately it doesn't help, I'm getting the correct values for face and dist outputs. BUT, I tried to call message box in others callbacks, it worked in every case.
So what was wrong with this particular callback ? Guess what, one CANNOT call a UI.messagebox after a webdialog (or html dialog) closes, modal or non-modal.
There's some kind of logic here...

This doesn't work:

# callback cancel @web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p| @web_dialog.close() r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO) }

This works:

# callback cancel @web_dialog.add_action_callback("dlg_cancel_settings") { |d, p| r=UI.messagebox("Are you sure ?",MB_YESNO) @web_dialog.close() }

Merci Didier pour cette nouvelle extension, je vais la tester dès que possible. Merci aussi pour l'actualisation d'anciens plugins comme projection.

Je recherche une version non protégée de l'aide à layer manager 3.1.0 (du 28.08.2018) pour la traduire en français. L'objectif est de présenter l'outil. Idem pour PurgeTool.
Je peux te soumettre la traduction avant de la diffuser bien sûr.

It's a very easy fix - either the missing PNG specified in the HTML code needs adding to the HTML's file-set, or the HTML's code needs changing to find a PNG that does exists in its file-set.
When I contacted thomthom before he got it fixed very quickly.
But I've been in touch with thomthom by PM again recently - and this time it's taking much longer to fix !

@Juju,
Yes it's (almost) clear for me now. Such an idea might be worthwhile exploring further, as time permits 😉

Didier, back in #000000 !

Thank you for the useful extension.
