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...

TIG, Thanks. Indeed, once it is clear that this is an equivalent to make_group, I can manage to design a 'copy-as-group'. Thanks to all Fredo

Thank you Fredo, This is actually helpful for high-resolution windows machines as well. Although some control over the scale value other than 2 would be great as well. Anyways, much better than no scale as all the texts and toolbar are scrambled without.

I posted my answer in the Sketchup Forum too.

@fredo6 said: The Selection observers remain completely silent about the erasing of the current selection. No event is fired. Not true... they are calling misspelled callbacks. To see what the SkecthUp engine wants to call (even tho the spelling is a bug,) ... override the respond_to?() method in your observer subclass, (being sure to pass the arg on to super,) but puts'ing the method name to STDOUT. Once you know the mispelling... you can write wrapper callbacks that use the mispelled method name that simply call the correctly spelled callback (or just alias the bad names to the good names.)

@krisidious said: a lot of autocad drawings I import are just slightly off at intersection close zoom. Whatsmore it's so small that you have to zoom way in just to see it. I have seen those... a lot.

@fredo6 said: As tu un seul ou plusieurs chemin definis dans AdditionalPluginFolders. Le probleme pourrait etre lié a LibTraductor.rb qui se trouverait a plusieurs endroits. Qu'un seul répertoire... J'ai tenté 2 chemins pour accéder au répertoire, depuis la racine du réseau (celui actif en ce moment, le plus sûr je suppose) ou depuis un raccourcis windaube -> pas de changement. J'ai remarqué que le plugin changeait de lui-même les "" en "/" dans le chemin du répertoire mais je doute que ça ait une incidence vu que si je pointe vers un autre disque réseau que le NAS, ça fonctionne sans pb.

@Gus-R Never mind.

@tig said: You normally won't need to know why it failed I was thinking more for a standalone debug script to try and find why these edge cases are failing. john

@Einstein It's home made. I wrote it long time ago, but I remember that for the interpolation, I did not find anything suitable and usable for my level of math in the literature. For the upsampling of the triangulation, I remember that I tried the Steiner refinement approach, but it did not work well for what I wanted to do. So, I built my own method. I was not familiar with the butterfly subdivision algorithm and still am not. Maybe it is a more conventional approach.

That’s such a useful plugin. I think I’ll be using it a lot. Amazing!

Thanks but download screen hangs Kind regards

I absolutely agree about the missing method to get/set the projected property. Fredo, as for the problem with tapered textures, I think this is a question of bilinear texture mapping versus projective (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ph/texfund/texfund.pdf p. 14 & p.17), but isn't projective mapping default in most other applications? I can't think of any better solution than splitting the face into smaller quads.

@unknownuser said: @Dan: thanks for the info. 11752 builds is not bad for a single version 8.0 (~33 years at 1 build per day!) WHAT !! ... where do you get 33 years from ?? The 8.0 development cycle from start to 8.0.M2 release is no more than 701 DAYS ! ... and there are at least 24 more language builds above 11752, so make it 11776 total ... That's at least 16 (almost 17 builds per day.) Subtract 100 Sundays. And it's more like 11776 / 601 = at least 19 builds per day, if they worked 6 days a week.

a true Doh! moment - Angle Inspector has Slope meter in %% ! Many many thanks, Fredo. P.S. Maybe one day it would become interactive - showing live the slope altering.
