@Cotty : It's possible.

snap to 1/4 would be nice too

Hi Glro!
This problem is decimal symbol in your PC.
I will fix it.

yes
you fixed it
thank you! big improvement for all french keyboard users...
you plugin is much better than the native line tool now...

It's work ok in meter units

i notice on your video, that the unit (cm) follows the number; on my computer, no unit, only the number

i use meters

if i type a number in the VCB rectangle, sketchup understands it meters, OK
but if a type an addition of 2 numbers, the plugin undeerstands it in inches or something, because the distance is much smaller

maybe there is a parameter i missed...

S4u Line Tool v1.0.0
Draw line from 2 points
Input length with Simple Function (+ ,-,,/) ex: 2m3 + 10m/4 + 3m
Snap points: 1/3 Line ,2/3 Line , Center Face...

Video:

additions and other operations don't work when unit is meter?

a big improvement: it is possible to download models from dropbox or another online storage

but scenes are not retrieved totally: only name and camera position,no visible/invisible objets settings

am i the only one to experience that (android samsung GT-I9300) or is it general?

Filtering maybe. Grouping, I'm not so sure.

filtering does add a feature compared to the native scenes management window, for models with a huge number of scenes

I came back to this thread because i thought the work you did could be used to manage attributes instead of scenes

There are a few plugins already to manage attributes, but they are more for programmers, too complicated for normal users of sketchup, and they add attributes only; no feedback from the attributes

the idea would be a plugin like "select by attribute":

it would collect all the attributes in the model
open a html window like the one you made for scene picker, to show them
after choosing the attribute, the plugin would select all the objects in the model related to this attribute

I haven't seen a plugin like this yet

Lost Outliner/Component/Material Window Offscreen?

Ever have an issue when you're using multiple monitors and you lose one or more of your toolbar windows offscreen?
here's a quick solution...

1.open the entity window or any other window you can get to inside of sketchup.
2.right click on the top of that window as you would a program in windows.
3.select move.

as you hit move the "lost" window will snap to the window your clicking on and will be under it.

this should help if you ever lose any of the windows within sketchup.

great tip!!
it worked for me also
thank you

it is a nice idea
to save like the pattern of a model made of components, being able to remove it for distribution, and restore it for internal purpose

i tried, but the cpoints embedded in components are not saved by the the plugin

@ken28875 said:

Hi everyone.

I had to re-install all my plugins the past few days.

There are two of them that i could not find in the Plugin Store.

I would appreciate if you could let me know where I can download these plugins.

The names may be different in the Plugin Store, but on my computer they were called:

• Options
• Edge Styles

Thank you!

if the plugins included in the toolbox don't have copyright

this ones different, if they don't have copyright [at all] it's interpreted as all rights reserved in European Union law...
they need to give their copyright away to be completely safe...
for example, if I wrote 3 plugins, with 3 versions of copyright, 1: none, 2: give-away, 3: reserved...
if Trimble used all three, I could pursue them for 1 and 3 but not 2

@unknownuser said:

dem should be able to maintain if asked, since he wrote this toolbox plugin

that requires knowing how they all work, big job...

@unknownuser said:

or is there another limitation?

some people will install the 'original' + the 'Toolbar version' and maybe even a third, different 'Toolbar Version'
unless these are all rewritten to separate them then it can cause very hard to find bugs...
most will complain to the original author...
john

thank you for taking the time to explain

so no mention of copyright is the same as a mention of copyright, in EU... good to know

so as i understand, unless it is clearly mentioned by a line at the beginning of the code, you should not distribute plugins

@driven said:

@glro said:

then what about this text included in the lines of code?

"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for
any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
copyright notice appear in all copies"?

that basically allows you to copy, modify, distribute your own version of a script...
but, you should only do so if you can also maintain it without burdening the original author with problems...
john

OK, i understand

and this text: "Copyright 2009, ...All Rights Reserved"
doesn't allow you to copy, modify, nor distribute your own version of a script, i suppose

so there is no question:

if the plugins included in the toolbox don't have copyright
dem should be able to maintain if asked, since he wrote this toolbox plugin

or is there another limitation?

then what about this text included in the lines of code?

"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software for

I am almost converted to SU-15 from SU-8.
I just realized that many of my SU-8 toolbars (especially "toggle/hidden") are not native SU but within Toolbars.rb.

How can I import the toolbars.rb set to SU-15?

I can't find the current file here.

http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com.es/2008/06/custom-toolbars-release-08-06-01.html[/anchor]

i don't remember well, but i use it in SU15, and it seems to me no changes were needed from SU8

@danbig said:

Hi -

When I'm renaming scenes, it tells me that I can disable thumbnail generation for the model. But when I check the box to disable thumbnails, it doesn't seem to stop future thumbnails from generating, or updating (and I still get the same message, giving me the option to disable). I've disabled many times over in the same model, but no luck.

i have the same problem, and i don't see anything about the ruby code that would create a page with thumbnails disabled

any idea?

@jamesmentzos said:

I've been trying that but cannot get the effect right.

what about this one?

or this one
https://extensions.sketchup.com/fr/content/clf-repeat-copy

@cadfather said:

yes, i posted the code so you'd be sure of the one i used.

notice i took out the '../' from the 2 folders paths (start of script) - which made the script look in the directory above to the comps folder. (so it only works on su8)

if you put the folders in the same directory as the script it works. at least it does for me (check the case matches too)

need to look more into to see why it doesn't when you change the path to full (ie. "c/Program Files/SketchUp...etc etc)

OK now i understand
it works for me also
muchas gracias
i shall try to change the path too...

Thank you

i didn't notice any change from the version i already have though

it did work perfectly in SU8
it doesn't work for me anymore in SU15

components are in the components folder, the plugin is in the plugins folder

in SU15, they are far apart, maybe that's why

adding this file in my plugins folder, i do have 2 more lines in the plugins menu

"Mylibray"
"components"
but they don't unfold, and Launchup doesn't propose me components anymore when i type the name

any chance to get it working with sketchup 15?

@jim said:

Here is version 2.1.

• Updated to work with Ruby 2 versions of SketchUp (version 14 or later.) Use the original version if you want to use Vismap2 on earlier versions of SketchUp.
• Made a SketchUp Extension to allow enabling/disabling in extension managers.

I am not sure how to handle distribution. I am unable to put it in the Plugins Store under Martin's name. That would make it harder to do further updates. I could post it under my plugins, but not sure if it would cause much confusion.

works perfectly again in SU15

thank you

@glro said:

from SU profiler result, the program mainly spends time in this type of operation
"Sketchup::Entities#each"

The profiler (plugin!) requires quite some understanding of what it does, and how meaningful the result is — even for more advanced developers this profiler in its current state is not that much helpful. That it spends time in each doesn't tell much without decomposing what it does inside each.

@roland joseph said:

Shut down the external ruby pipeline ...

There is no "external" ruby pipeline.

thank you for the answer

so no clue from profiler plugin
and no conspiracy theory

and what about the incidence of the previous model opened? i did notice that the time necessary to proceed on the basis of fixed parameters, may vary according to the previous model opened
