Also, probably notable that the free version of SU 6 (for some reason Windows only) doesn't have the Location tab at all in Model info.

I also agree for a code rewritten/optimization for sketchup first but honestly i don't really think that will happen any time soon because SU7 have just been released. So if any new tool will be released before a SU optimization, it should at least come inside the program and not by a ruby extension. Take the example of the new scale tool plugin from Fredo6. It's a great plugin that completly turns the sketchup scale tool absolete (for the ones that don't use DCs) but because it's a ruby it's much slower on larger geometries than the basic scale tool that it's part of the program and operates much faster. So as i said in SU8 whishlist thread before we get anything new we need optimization first.

@plot-paris said: well, EEbyRails restricts you to 4 curves (two profile curves, and two path curves) whereas with a loft tool you are allowed to use as many curves as you like (order in which curves are selected will determine the order they are used). maybe you could create a loft tool based on your EEbyRails tool... I know there is a basic loft tool out there somewhere (I think Chris Fullmer). but last thing I know its still in early beta. you got quite a stable tool which produces beautifully smooth forms. so maybe you could derive a mighty loft tool from it... I am working on such multi-profile loft tool. Still a lot of work, but you can get an idea at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=1306&start=210#p216592 Fredo

Thanks for the info. I mainly use Sketchup at the office and that is in Windows. I will play around with the PDF import in OSX at home
