On Thursday afternoon the Skalp team wil give a 3 hour workshop .
You will get the chance to get a personal lesson from the developers of Skalp.

We start with the basics of Skalp down to the smallest details of our extension.
We will explain in detail how you can create professional drawings of your SketchUp projects with almost no effort.
Not only do we explain how to use Skalp in combination with LayOut , but also how to create a workflow with AutoCAD .

During and afterwards you will have the opportunity to ask questions to the developers of Skalp.

We hope to see you in our workshop.

The Skalp Team

realSection isn't supported anymore.

We made a model with every detail modeled correctly...

We created a plugin to extract subdetails to a separate file...

We used Layout to create construction documents...

We only use SketchUp, Layout and Skalp (http://www.skalp4sketchup.com) for all our projects. From design to construction!

I remember having this working at one time but it just creates an error now, referring to the helper file.

Error Loading File toggleWindows.rb
Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant PLATFORM>
C:/Users/tonywilton/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp/Plugins/toggleWindows.rb:4:in `<top (required)>'

Any clues would be gratefully received.

I want to be able to define section material by group. Real section did just that.
Scalp is much more than I need.

Indeed Skalp can do a lot more, but if you like you can use Skalp just the same simple way like Real Section and define the materials by group. Take a look at the following video tutorial to see how it works:

Skalp for SketchUp

See you at Lisbon

I have several scripts all having the same problem. The script works fine on windows, works fine on mac. Except when it needs to do a lot of things (bigger models) on mac. Result is SU crashes! When do SU crash? SU crashes when the real memory size SketchUp uses become around the 2.8 GB (on my machine).

I thick the the problem is the ruby version used in de mac version of Sketchup. It uses ruby v1.8.5, the windows version uses 1.8.6. Ruby 1.8.5 is 7 years old. Has lot of problems with big arrays and with garbage collection.

I made a video of a script that crashes. On the left you see the model. On the right you see the memory use of sketchup. On the right below you see the script. What does this script do, it loops through the model and checks every group or component if it's manifold and hide the group if it's manifold.

Notes:
AW_lib.isValid? checks if the entity is a group or a component instance and that the entity is not deleted.
AW_lib.nestedGroups? checks if there are other groups or components inside the group or component
I have also expanded the Sketchup::ComponentDefinition class with a .entities so .entities works the same on a component instance like on a group.

mac of pc?

I never tried SolidSolver, but fixSolid was first. It was first published with my other account but i lost it's e-mail and password of thats why I post it with my new account.

At Basecamp the people of 3skeng showed a way to connect netbeans to sketchup for using it as full working IDE for SU.Does somebody knows how to do it?
