    • RE: Sketchup running slow

      HI

      1. In Window Windows 7 I would use the task Manager go to process - Sketckup - right click - set priority to high

      If something in backgound uses alot of cpu then set their priority to low

      also Find a unused core setting in the a affinity for Sketckup

      2.66 GHZ is your speed limit
      window block share the -cpu- ram-and priority
      it nice You have 12 gig of ram but skutchup uses only about 400M working mem

      Your resource is share with everything on your machine

      Now use the maxium resource amount cpu just below 50% if it hits 50 it the cpu limit of sketchup- since I don't have your machine-this is a guess-I would use lower grarph setting, thier no shader in skutchup

      I would look at sketchup Properties row back some on the modes in compatibility
      when they made the sketchup core it was for a xp-2000 machine

      Basic Window is faster then windows areo

      Since 2006
      Speed of core machine has been 2.66 GHZ

      so your exspectaion iz false = " I thought that it would be super smooth on this machine... "
      your windows is 64 and window 7 thus has not been fully tested for sketchup

      run it in 32 mode

      best thing I said here is item # 1 above this maybe all you need

      I was unable to download with IE9, I still don't know why it suddenly won't work with IE9 I tried setting my security way down. The pop up blocker was off. But at least Chrome worked.

      I have been putting in some volunteer work on these plugins for the past year so they are free to down load at this forum.

      @unknownuser said:

      In most animation programs setting a locked pivot point is a standard action becasuse skeletons, joints, gears, hinges... all rotate or swivel at a permanently set location. Hopefully this makes more sense.
      xiombarg

      So you saying you what a hinge joints that anchor a point to a localize placement witch hold a group.lock dynamically meshes object, that can be fasion in 4 state of demenions.
      1d to anchor scale on a line with the end points to move it.
      2d to anchor rotation and pulled on a plane, edges or points to scale or move it.
      3d to anchor rotation or push-pulled on a surface points move.
      4d to anchor rotation and pulling on a surface action giving spin, a growing bubble point or collision reation animation

      Well what a order.

      I think is could be done here.

      By whom and when is the question.

      Some of the SU plugins has bits and pieces of you order.

      There is two anchor in SU (sun and billboard)

      but one simple plugin not yet.

      3d max can do this now.

      but not simple and easy to learn either and not free.

      1. Having the scale tool allow for the scaling of a segmented (divided) line by using the end vertices of a selection as the planar locking points and then have the scaling fall off leading to the averaged center of the selection as the point of least resistance.

      Here a windows method:

      Answer 1:
      Plugin-AnotherSketchupPlus_dj.rb -tool; make group anytime - fix the grouping of the locked instantes groups. thus you can then resize a lock segmented (divided) line group. - nice - 💭
      action: group, lock, group and scale

      @unknownuser said:

      1. Being able to set the rotation point for a group. When grouping, Sketchup already sets two rotation points per plane upon the selected group bounding box, but these need to be user defined rotation points... or have some kind of other grouping tool that will allow the user to set rotation points.

      Answer 2:

      I can set this rotation points using -plugin- scaleGroupFloat_dj.rb -
      using this tool drawboxpoint_dj, I can put a small group boxPoint, any place, on the line. Also while still selecting the boxpoint I then set rotation deg to box with cumulativeScaller_dj and enter ok x many times,(box now look like a gear cog)
      Then I drag the group line in between other boxpoint found the listed of outliner. Like magic the line fans out into a custer of lines then I regroup it, now you can use any scale tool to finish the scaling job.

      For mechanical design this is an absolute must, but for figure design, particularly when doing varieties of poses, this would also be immensely helpful and time saving.
