Good news, thanks Didier.

The new update is now under this topic.

I am moving this longer, "discussion-like" thread "back" to the Ruby Forum - leaving only Didier's "final" post in the Ruby Depot to avoid misunderstanding (I myself was confused first when I couldn't find it agai...).

how can i insert other sections... 16x20cm, 20x24cm 20x28cm... these in program are small for european structure. thank you very much

Look in the subfolder, in the file 'housebuilder_sections.txt' there are the lists of section-types and sizes etc...
Make a copy of that file, edit the file to show the sections you want in the single-line as shown for each of the four types; use the same 'syntax' as the original sizes in 'mm' [aaxbb|aaaxbbb|... etc], test it and if it works with your new custom sizes you've cooking-with-gas; if NOT then you've always got the original version to revert to...[attachment=0:e0cz8i6k]<!-- ia0 -->Capture.PNG<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:e0cz8i6k]

thank you very much TIG 😄)

I'm using the TIG version of metric 1.2 plugin. I edited the housebuilder_sections.txt file as described but the new values I entered seem to be ignored by the script. They don't show up on the selection menu.

Thanks,
Karl

Hi,

I don't understand what is your problem. Please be more precise and post a screenshot.

Hi Didier,

thanks for your message, very kind indeed!
When uninstalling Sketchup I realised I had been putting all my plugin's into a different SU folder, namely directly into the SU folder from my Applications shortcut. I guess I had added a Plug-in folder when not seeing one there, silly me. 😉
I then went to the original folder through app support and realised where they were supposed to go.
Beginner Mac mistake I guess.

Many thanks again for your help.
It works like a charm now!!!

I ended up using the Triangulate rb. I use the TIG's to make a DTM (digital terrain model) for landscape design, rendering it with my drawings and then adding 3d features which I'll then make 3d sketches of as I still don't think SU does the job for presentation quality landscape design. just still feels too cheap.

It's fine. Just found that Arc Circles + will create an ellipse much the same like the old plugin.

Didier has agreed that I might update some of his scripts in the PluginStore, so that they are compatible with v2014/2015.
Please get the latest version of Munsell-Maker from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Munsell_Maker

Didier has agreed that I might update some of his Plugins in the PluginStore.
Please get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=arcs It is now v2014.2015 cpmpatible.

In ~80% of cases, I'd prefer the old way (originaledges stay selected). The updated version of the tool is also useful in some cases. It'd just perfect to grant 2 options in one tool via say single Alt hit (for new-born edges get selected).
Or, even better TAB key for selection cycling: original\extruded\connecting edges

There are a pair of definitive downloads available for both the metric and imperial versions.
I prepared these almost 7 years ago.

Try getting and testing one of those...
Remember all of this code is very old... and newer/better tools have been developed and are readily available if you search for them...

What does this plugin do please?

Boofredlay,
Did you notice that the load is searching for a "Scripts" folder ?
Do you have the rb's in the "Scripts" folder under "Plugins"?
This have been made to keep things clean. 😄

Hello all,

I'm new to the board.

I've been trying to learn rendering and would like to see su2pov work on the Mac with SU7. I have SU6 Pro but the latest version of su2pov ported to the Mac is 2.4 which apparently does not work on SU beyond ver 5.

I thought I would work on the ruby script su2pov.rb that comes with the Windows version of su2pov (su2pov3.2) which does work with SU6 to see if I could modify that for the Mac OS, but unlike other ruby scripts I have seen, it is not a plain text file.

Does anyone have any information about su2pov for SU7 OR a Mac version of su2pov3.2 OR any guidance as to how I can get a version of su2pov.rb (v3.2) that I can open in a text editor?

Thanks,

Rich

Yes that is very nearest 😄

And for my little suggestion above no idea?

Thank you- this is very useful! I was going to do this myself but Sketchup only allows you to add materials to a collection one at a time!
