What would it take to pull that code out?

All I really need to do is lay all of the components flat with the origin point being at Z0 and the Z (blue) axis facing up... In to put more simply a script that would align each components axis up with the SketchUp world axis, and lay them all out in a line along the X axis.

It's definitely a good plugin... Just not exactly for what I need unfortunately.

@dahnuguy
The model.save_copy method is only available >=v2014
So it fails in v8.

That's exactly what I needed! Thanks!!

I still think that the DXF ... export should be baked into SketchUp Make...

neverever, with the the key difference (= DXF/DWG data exchange) between Make and Pro removed and already lots of users using Make commercially this would probably have a big impact on Pro sales... au contraire, strip down or better discontinue the Make version.

I'll PM you an example RBZ.
Watch fro it in a while...

Eric,

There is no good solution for this problem because the Ruby API does not have control over the character size and pixel definition.

Unless you did it already, I would advise you have a look at this thread where the problem is discussed, with some generic solutions.

That is not Matt, but unscrupulous people trying to make a buck from his affiliate deal. I can confirm that Matt is totally legit and would never act like these buffoons.

GE terrain and pixelated images are different beasts.

That is quite impressive! Thanks again, I've learned something new!

Try this v2.0...
It offers a new Y|N option at the start to save each definitions into the main folder = N, or =Y to save any nested definitions into subfolders named after their parent.
Then you can choose to ignore those - e.g. those nested inside other components, or those in groups [which you might want to consider keeping ?]

My man!! 👊

I think that may just work.... Thank you sir!

Eric et al: Why are you modelling the dog-bone fillets? Doesn't the CNC software takes care of this? I don't know why I didn't raise this question earlier, but I recall at school when we used the CNC machine we set up the tool paths for the machine to follow - but never modelled the end resulting dog-bone fillets.

That DAE export thing isn't a bad idea, it would certainly be a good way to diagnose a bad model... I'll have to try that...

Thanks! I hope they get this worked out soon, I'm stuck modeling on my PC only!

Another great suggestion. I will try that tonight and report back!

That worked brilliantly! Thanks so much!!
