i was wrong about "applyTo"(multiple ex/change)...it works, "applyTo" + Emmanuel's "select component instances"... need simple [web]dialog to get it features as api

@guanjin
It doesn't work in v2024 [various errors], e.g.

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method 'index' for {#Sketchup::Edge:0x0000019daaeab1b0=>0.0, #Sketchup::Edge:0x0000019daaeab160=>39.37007874015748}:Hash>

C:/Users/TIG/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2024/SketchUp/Plugins/GEIS_door_lintel2.rb: 274:in `block in <top (required)>'

@Didier-Bur also obfuscates his code, so without arduously repacking it back into RB code it'd be difficult to say what the issues are...

I have the same problem, i cannot place lights, and sometimes I don't have access to the dialog box
about pov-ray materials? what's wrong?

For those who have problems with materials and lights in Su2Pov, the following:

As previously documented regarding placing the lights: First be sure that a copy of the Su2Pov folder is in the Su components folder. Use the <esc> key after selecting a Su2Pov light fixture to produce a cursor that will locate the light.

The "edit Pov-Ray Finish" menu is available if you start Su by selecting a project.skp with your mouse. If you start the program before opening a file, the menu may not appear. Once the program is started in this way, the menu is available, until you shut down. The dos screen flashes from time to time when the feature can not be accessed. Make sure that you edit component or group for access to a material.

Aside from always starting the program in this way is to make a shortcut of a untitled.skp, rename it SketchUp, and change the folder icon to the Su icon, place the shortcut where ever you start your program from. The drawback to this is that you can not start Su by dragging a file into the shortcut.

If anyone finds exception to this, let me know and I will edit this post.

I've moved watkins post here, where you should be able to respond. Replys in the Depository should now closed.

Ahg ! sorry, bad reading. 😳
The answer is in the description of the plugin.
With this plugin, you’ll find STL as a supported format within SketchUp’s Import command. STL files will be imported to SketchUp as a group. 😉

I could give you the complex answer or the simple one...

To be honest it's a simple typo !!! Should be "if NOT selection" etc... Sorry...

Another typo crept in too ! In the menu so v1.2 is now here...

I've re-re-loaded the script here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=46829#p46829

The original thread(s) are deleted...

file_found?(path) that fixes ascii in SUp Ruby path and unicode in returned filepath returning false negatives with 'FileTest.exist?(path)' - even with accented characters - is updated and moved here... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=169225#p169225

Yes, I've studied it extensively... But what I didn't noticed before is that when you have a component within another component and when you paint this sub-component globally (by default) you thus modify its definition. That's to say you can't have this sub-component colored with 2 different colors in to separate "parents". I hope that I'm clear, anyway this makes my job a lot easier
I must extract an Excel sheet with a global list of top-level furniture components (kitchen cabinets, shelves...), and a detailed list of the components of level 1 whith their colors/materials, themselves made of various pieces of level 2 of various colors/materials.
Pfff, furniture manufacturers are complicated people sometimes...

P.S. Typo: Bonne chance (thanks)

Yep, that's it !

@unknownuser said:

the reason it fails, it because it is looking for: "=", and this line has: " = "

Thanks Al. I was thinking that the strip method didn't care of spaces, and it does in fact.

Since components.strings is the stock file that is installed with the french package of GSU: 👎 to SU Team 😉

It's very useful!
And,it works good in SU 6 PRO!

It works, it works!
Great.
Thanks

I was looking for a plugin like that. I had a file with many textures, but most were not applied to any object. When you export a 3DS file for example, the textures that were not applied to any face were not exported.

This Plugin helped me a lot because it exports all the textures that are in the model, including those that are not applied.

Thank you very much.

Thanx a bunch TIG 👍

Thanks Didier,

this is exactly the missing function I was looking for, but it does not work works under sketchup 8...
I posted too quickly and I did not put the script in the right plugins folder (damn Apple...)

Here is how to find it if you use a mac : http://sketchuptips.blogspot.se/2008/03/how-to-download-and-install-plugins.html

It works very well and save me a lot of work!!

Thx Didier!

😳

Thanks for the info!!
I'll try to delete html, htm so they'll appear my pdf help files only, because generally you can access to the help files with html or htm extension through the plugins' menus.

Hi!
Can someone update this plugin or recommend one with the same effect. I found Fredo tools but I don't want to install all the stuffs that I don't use.
Thanks.
