@driven said: write a test with some puts and I'll test it... john Thanks in advance. I thought initially that the question was resolved somewhere in the forum, but could not find it (and it is anyway not described in the SU API doc). Fredo

I would use something like steve suggests... %x(defaults read ~/Library/Preferences/com.sketchup.SketchUp.20#{Sketchup.version.to_i} "SketchUp.DefaultFolder.Models") BUT, it always returns the last Folder used for a Save...

Anton, Thanks. It's a pity that there is no built-in mechanism (such as the return value of the callback defined in set_on_close). We can also understand that SU wants to preserve a way to close the web dialog 'whatever' in case of trouble. Anyway, reloading the HTML works fine. I just noticed that redoing just a show() create this delay in capturing mouse events. Fredo

As John's animation shows, it isn't a matter of each model not having its own Tool activated, it is an issue with SketchUp duplicating certain view.draw_xxx contents on all existing views. This is a bug we reported some time ago.

api definitely needs some development here, you cannot even do a style.erase command. (just purge) i looked inside a *.style file (aka zip), hoping to find some hints. some obscure numbers which surely must be pointing to the settings like face colours etc, but too cryptic. not to mention watermarks.

@jure Thanks for signaling the problem. I actually forgot to update the plugin. It's now done with FredoTools v4.5c, just published.

Ok I found one Drawing concentric circles on the same alignment! here the red axe! [image: PJoa_GIF_same_align.gif] PS Now if you can exit during the animation for keept the position of objects & colors that will be cool!

As explained in the main post in this thread: it is part of FredoTools - which you can download from the PluginStore... [for some reason Fredo's link in broken...] https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoTools Como se explica en la publicación principal de este hilo: es parte de FredoTools, que puedes descargar desde PluginStore ... [Por alguna razón, el enlace de Fredo está roto ...] You'll also need to install the latest LibFredo. También deberá instalar la última versión de LibFredo. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6 Restart after completing the two installations... Reinicie después de completar las dos instalaciones ... I guessed Spanish rather than Portuguese ? ¿Adiviné español en lugar de portugués?

Great plugin! Now it works perfectly. Thank you fredo. Ferrie

@fredo6 said: @mac1 said: By the way what is exactly Voronoi filtering (The Meshlab demos refers to Poisson disk)? Fredo I can not give exact definition but is my understanding is the output is more of an interpolation of the input data rather than a estimation like some of the other filters. The voronoi filter is included in meash lab program and this link is rather interesting and covers how to convert the veronoi shell to a solid suitable for 3 printing http://meshlabstuff.blogspot.com/2009/04/creating-voronoi-sphere-2.html

I would place my bets with Andreas - as he use Linux and probably have figured this out. Looking for a Wine related environment variable makes sense since Wine would make SketchUp think it's running Windows - RUBY_PLATFORM wouldn't say linux.

@kimi kimi said: Hi there Fredo. You've helped me a lot with your work and I really appreciate it! There is only one thing that bothers me with your plugins. Can you make toolbars with just one or two icons? It just takes too much space. Maybe even separate it into several plugins if you can't condense it? Not for this plugin only, but for others too. That is the only remark I have. Again, you do an awesome job, and I don't even know if I would consider using SketchUp if your plugins weren't here! Actually, for all my plugins, you can select which icons are shown, from zero to all of them. This is configured in the Default Parameters of each plugin. Fredo PS: exception is BezierSpline

If we have normal names should we just wait until you do another update or should all of us update. BTW; Nice of you to go through and update all of your stuff... I would have told them to change their name.

@ivansmirnov333 from the first post in the thread: @fredo6 said in [Plugin][$] VisuHole - v1.5a - 01 Apr 24: In the current version, Stencils must be picked in the model. This implies that your stencils must be present in the model. You could create components of your stencils and save them into a local collection.

Thanks for picking up the question ThomThom I'm developing a measuring tool and part of the functionality lies on the capability of the tool to make a quick measurement no matter what context you are into. Currently I'm getting the information via pickpoint but I'm having hard time trying to get rid of the interferencing and also confuses me a lot when the cursor is over a face but one or more edges are just behind that face because my draw method to highlight either the face or the edge goes crazy when underneath the cursor are to much geometry happening. I wanted to implement a method using pickhelper but the not picking outside active context thing stopped me. The tool angleinspector from fredo marvelously does exactly what I want to achieve and I'm trying to mimic that functionality but without success. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=180%26amp;t=67058 Here you can see a gif describing my problem. Saludos

In SU 2024, in a newly created and empty file, the first line (even formed from multiple edges) is not visible, only the second is visible, or if the file is not empty. I tested in SU 2023 and 2022, and this bug is only in 2024. Edit: It is a problem in my custom template that occurs only in SU 2024...! The problem doesn't exist with the same template in SU 2022 or 2023... I don't understand yet...

Yea did you look at the C code by clicking the method in the CHM ? It has a kind of convoluted switch statement.

The only thing that's missing from this tool is that it doesn't see the grip points from the middle of the edges of the bounding boxes of groups/components, not for the objects you move, and not for the objects you move to. Maybe the API doesn't provide this information, but that would be absurd because those grip points are available in the SU native move tool, and you can cycle through all of them by repeatedly pressing the ALT key.

I think the new Dim methods do allow you to get the 'entity tree' for a Dim's two start/end. You can also specify them when adding a new Dim - start=/end=... Unfortunately Text does not have the equivalent linking possibilities for its arrowhead. There are many Text methods missing - these were discussed at length at last year's BaseCamp - as were Dims, but only a few got through...
