    • RE: [Plugin] Contour Maker v1.6

      TIG: I hope you have already been gold-plated. When I read the methods others use to make contours, I am SO GLAD I found contour maker.

    • 2014 Pro- Component Dialog Box Won't Stay Put - 2 Screens

      I didn't notice this in beta test. The Component Dialog Box won't stay where I want it on the second screen when I place it in my tidy arrangement of handy dialog boxes I use. It always goes to one spot, even when I try an use the 'magnetism' that the Shadow Settings box seems to have on it's bottom edge.

      Really it is annoying to my very ordered world.

      Anyone got a fix?

      2014 Pro, Windows 7, Geforce GTX

    • RE: [Plugin] Contour Maker v1.6

      Yes, that did it. Also in the 2014 thread, Jim corrects some really incorrect instructions from Trimble on how to migrate plug-ins:

      On Vista, Win 7, 8:

      C;\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
      

      On Win XP:

      C;\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
      

      @unknownuser said:

      On Windows, we also load plugins from a user-independent support directory.
      On Win Vista, 7, 8:

      C;\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
      

      On Win XP:

      C;\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
      

      This path is only loaded to the $LOAD_PATH array if the folder exists when on the user's machine when SU starts.

      but your way: the SCF Plugin Store is way better. Thanks!

      Upgraded to 2014. Contourmaker.rb is in my migrated plugins...I don't see it.

      Arrgghh! This was my one contribution as an architect to a heavy civil team!

      Help!

    • RE: [Plugin] SketchUcation Tools 2.6

      I get these two...
      Error - Start up.pdf
      One at start up, the second when I click on the Plug ins manager button.
      Error - Plug Ins Manager.pdf
      Also: I use multiple monitors, and the new tool bars and menus show up frequently on one of the other screens...am I the only one?

    • Screened halftone ghost layers

      Basic LO pageMy boss wants my 'furniture layer' to be less visible than the electrical symbols on my LO electrical diagram sheet. I can save the scene with 'furniture' on, 'furniture' and as a separate model with just 'furniture' screened halftone more transparent or in the case of what I did: edges by material.

      I have tried to add a new layer in LO to the page with 'furniture' off that has the 'furniture' screened (edges by material) but can't seem to figure out how to 'stack' the two layers so that they are both visible...seems to me the 'furniture' screened needs a transparent background, in addition to having been created with 'edges by material'.

      When I read up on the posts, I am to believe that the layers are transparent like 'trace' but mine sure seem opaque like mat board!

      Help!


      Boss doesn't Like this way


      Separate SU file 'edges by material'
