@tig said: There is already Recall_Last_Tool http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=132509#p132509 Great, i obviously missed that. Searched for sth. like this before- i'll give it a try, if it works fine it'll directly hop onto a shortcut. @tig said: The complications of recording actions within the API should not be underestimated. Have you thought about a 3rd party external tool that remembers keystrokes/mouse moves etc... There are several freely available... Yes, i read that in the other related threads as well. Maybe one day. I'll try out some of these free tools, maybe they can do some job- i did't know they could track my actions within sketchup, eg. select certain face > offset > pull > bevel. And maybe they can't But good to know about what's possible and what's not. Thanks, TIG! _h

@unknownuser said: What happen to this plugin? Would be so great to have it... Will save LOTS of time The plugin was my ComponentReplacement which can be found on my blog page. Click the "plugin" link then click download. It requires that the "source" instances be given the same instance name and the "target" instances also have the same instance name. The instance name is accessible through the Entity Info window.

Ok, got it. Uninstalled / installed several times.. Then went to registry and deleted some old relicts, now it works all fine again... _h

I've noticed that tools are sometimes grayed out on my toolbars, but when I click them, they activate right away. So why are they grayed out in the first place? Most tools do not display grayed out. I'm not using any plugins, btw, just the free SketchUp.

Well if it doesn't work i'd suggest using Outliner. Simply double click your group in Outliner whilst Push/Pull tool is active. This will 'jump into the group and allow you to pull. Double click next group in Outliner. No need to exit each group and this method saves a few clicks until someone writes or finds push/pull groups plugin

glad you found what you needed That is indeed the case with channels - vray gives you separate files. You then have to combine them yourself in PS. The only exception to that is using vrimage, which combines all the channels in one file. From there you have to use the converter to get an exr file.

thanks jason- one step further again. and i definitely will stick to DCs! wish you a nice weekend! time to hit the road

ok, thanks. if you know how to interpret the "intensity" thing please let me know..

exactly same error i geting after pressing "START"... So after whole day of installing and uninstalling i find that trouble was "clf_simple_loft_01b" plugin. (Error on SU6 and 8 and all SP versions, for me ....(WIN XP,32)) Hope it helps for someone.

Does it help to reinstall SketchyPhysics? http://sketchyphysics2.googlecode.com/files/SetupSketchyPhysics3x-Jun27.exe: download-link. Or just replace the ClassExtentions.rb file: ClassExtensions.rb in the folder: C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 7\Plugins\SketchyPhysics3 (I have Win7). Hope you get it to work!

This can be done with a Dynamic Component also. Then the user of the component would not need to have SP installed to manipulate the door. Here is an example posted in the DC Forum: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=16332

@unknownuser said: oh man... life can be so easy. i was blind for years. Oh man, make that X 2. Thank you for the explanation, I can now look back on many wasted hours.

seems like working for me now (hopefully). just arranged my icons where i wanted them- an just saved the blank file as template- working fine!!

@chris fullmer said: Can you just turn the navigator 90 degrees on your desk? moving forward by pushing sideways might not something that they built in, as it would just confuse most people to the point of insanity. see pic.. i thought so, too. i'm searching on- but not that many people use this gadget.. there are mouse-emulators for it, thats it. or maybe i am wrong- but don't think so. i'll see.. but thanks my hand

pret auto How wonderful feedback!

... So, make a temporary group of the instance and get the local_bounds if that, then explode it back as it was...

It reminds me a lot of the real world construction technique of using a Monolithic Dome. Check it out. http://www.monolithic.com -Mark McCoy http://www.8-perf.com
