with mask

Masking the space

back view (note the spear is solid)

side view

front view

Now it should be clear what a highlighted space is and how it can be textured

Giving objects a locolize regions of box, spear, cone, dome or other primitives that has a foregound or backgound a color with noise, shine, matted line, colors with transparency gives a glow to a highlitghted objects region of space. Work best with tile or random small color textures.

This is a highlighted space for a objects.

scaleGroupFloat_dj Ver 1.3
No rendering, everything is done in sketchup.
Quick work adding color to objects in your model

nosie, shine, color with transparency = mix block of glowing colors of light.



Extened options
Work the color blocks
save one as target
then the others use size and move to target.
each object can have its own light show. wow!

moveSize2Target_dj

Makes a target point from a selected object and them it will moves or resizes other objects to that target point.

I sorry about the confusion;
Large toolbars take alot of screen space.

=================================
My history of develoment:

• I started download in 2007.
• I started to reply to forum in april 2011.
• I started to give tips in Nov 2011 about running more than one sketchup.
• I develop my first plug-in(no tool bar)in running more than one sketchup called Another Sketchup after reading the API notes. Dec 2011
• I enhanced it with 9 other feature, gave it a toolbar look and call it
  Another Sketchup plus Jan 2012. ( I rewritten the code to be a rb,rbs,extension)
• I updated Another Sketchup to (rb,rbs,extension) May 2012
• I was ask to make a movie to explain how things work in Another Sketchup plus
  But when I made an outline I realize I needed to make some changes to reach that goal. june 2012
• Now by June 2012, I written 5 more plug-in scaleGroupFloat_dj, repeatUndoTool_dj, ZoomWindowSelect_dj, ZoomZoom_dj and ZoomView_dj.
  -I working on, New enhancement call ProjectEditor_dj it is in the making but I have to interface every plugin I wrote to one dj_Plugin folder (one button toolbar with inputbox drop downs actions) July 2012

Update:

• edited Another_Sketchup Plus Ver. 1.5
• took out Another_Sketchup Ver. 1.5
• took out scaling

update:
7/23/12

• Toolbar version
• move to dj_Plugins folder

Zoom.
v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = 3 level of zoom depth action,
zoom select, zoom orbit and zoom window. (simple) It's a 1 or 2 or 3 level depth action (nice)

Zoom + Tools
next ver 2.0 zoomZoom = I add tools return obtions (zoomWindowSelectv1.0) + 5ea different tool returns, lots of toolbar buttons now (not as easy)now depth action of 4, also gave tips about the use of keyboards for other return tools
it a 1, 2, 3 or 4 level depth action.(nice)

Zoom + Tools + views + sytles + display boxes(API Sketchup.send_action tools)
next ver 3.0 zoomView = I needed to get rid of usage of toolbar buttons so I pull back too one button, and a inputbox with one big zoomZoom drop down menu bar, default as zoomWindowSelectv1.0 with 12 other zoom zoom but it incease the work by couple of keyin. I needed to add views + sytles now to justify the keyins. also the API Sketchup.send_action tools had some input display boxs. Now menus.depth action is 7 but its not a 1-6 or 7 depth action friendly. (not good) I will fix this soon.

I would say these are different tools, you can zoomWindowSelect on all 3 version
but it not as nice as ver 1. but I must say v3.0 get rid of 2 standard toolbar
views + sytles and it put the zoom togather on one menu inputbox and one button toolbar.

Have some fixes coming to v3.0

The first ver is the main version. (the core)

v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = Zoom 1 + Zoom 2 ... (like a note pad level)

v2.0 zoomZoom = ((Zoom 1 + Zoom 2)* Tools+shortcuts)...(like a word pad level)

v3.0 ZoomView = (((Zoom 1 + Zoom 2)* Tools+shortcuts)* view+sytles+DislayDialog)...(like a msWord level)

Each level has its users.

The main reason for version 3.0 is to use less toolbar, context and menu resources space and expand the functionality of it's usages. By useing the inputbox drop down you have a private area menu that dos't get in the way of other plugins

When I up grade something it hard to get recognition to similar but different stand alone program, .... thus by threading a new post helps. ... also the old program can't be discarded because it maybe the most wanted to the users. Sometime bigger is not better.

-fix the deletion of redo's
-now have reout of defult number of undo's

Hi I have an thought.
by expanding yout process to include all these steps may help

1. Make 10 to 12 double group models
2. Use section tool to work into each outside group with group edit, copy paste one, section .to ea group model. Compometize inside group for later editing.
3. Use 5 different skp files to work ea scene way you want them.
4. Open another sketckup (6ea maybe ok) you cut and paste too and from.(child and parent)
5. Use layer tool in parent
6. Use scene tool in parent
7. Right click for context menu or double click all sections, to get action cuts. (your work out right)
8. Now play your scene.

The best way: is to double click on ea sections for action cuts. done.

Like this?

Edit 2 groups - right click section faces to get context's menu -active cuts
Sections2.skp

Pilou your right.

It is true for sketchup 6,7,8 defaults setting max undo's is 100.

Hey also I just found out today, you can change this value in sketchup preference register file, to 50 or 200 or any other reasonable value. Wow!
