I suppose if this could be adapted to be non-destructive to the original geometry (it wouldn't do any slicing), then user could draw quick section planes.

RE: Shapes in LayOut: Combining, Cutting holes, etc.?
Another solution would be for LayOut to be able to import common vector graph formats such as pdf, svg, ai.,etc, and then save it to their internal format.

Thanks for the quick replies.

RE: Selecting small objects in rear
At times I wish LO had something like a wireframe view where you could select an edge of an object (or group) to select the entire object, then move the object to another layer or bump it up in the current stacking order.

Shapes in LayOut: Combining, Cutting holes, etc.?
Is there a way to punch a hole in a LayOut shape? For example, you draw large rectangle and then draw a smaller circle inside and over the top of the rectangle; can you subtract the circle from the rectangle.
If not, has anyone suggested to SketchUp folks the ability to apply some basic boolean functions to a selection of objects?

RE: [Plugin] Skalp for SketchUp v2.0 (live section plugin)
New updates:
Should the previous installation be deleted before installing the new or will the update write over the existing installation? -
RE: [Plugin][$] TopoShaper - v2.7a - 01 Apr 24
Hi,
I have a problem with this file (originating from a DWG import).This represents a drying pond.
The terrain generated extended outside the top-most contour (each contour is on its own layer).
I also tried to manually remove the "apron" but was unsuccessful.

I couldn't get the "slashes" ( / ) to work for multiple source lengths.

Thank you for your help, Dan and TIG.

RE: ? [Question] - A Ruby Calculator ?
Thanks TIG. Works now per your post.
If I wanted to add info to the taskbar below such as:
= Subtract, [] = Multiply, [/] = Divide, [%] return remainder, [**] = exponent, [ ( ) ] = group functions"*
what would be the proper ruby format and where should it be inserted?*# Ruby Calc

Many thanks to a4chitect for the win32ole section
Ruby Calc is a simple SketchUp for Windows calculator.
Feel free to hack and wack it.
Since it is run as a loose procedure rather than a class
it does not kick SU out of the currently running tool
Bind the Menu Item 'Ruby Calc' to a short cut key
For ease of use. (I use Alt-Q)
require 'sketchup'
[highlight=#ff0000:rs61bj0c]require 'langhandler'[/highlight:rs61bj0c]
require 'win32ole'#---
def rubycalc
prompt = [""]
default = [" "]
input = UI.inputbox prompt, default, "Ruby Calc"
fanswer = eval input[0]
sanswer = fanswer.to_s + "{ENTER}{ENTER}"Create an instance of the Wscript Shell
wsh = WIN32OLE.new('Wscript.Shell')
#Try to activate the Sketchup window:
if wsh.AppActivate(' - SketchUp Pro') || wsh.AppActivate(' - SketchUp')
wsh.SendKeys(sanswer)
else
puts "Impossible"
end
end#---
if( not file_loaded?("ruby_calc.rb") )
add_separator_to_menu("Tools")
[highlight=#ff0000:rs61bj0c]UI.menu("Tools").add_item("Ruby Calc")[/highlight:rs61bj0c] { rubycalc }
endfile_loaded("ruby_calc.rb")*

RE: [Plugin] Tube cutting optimisation
I could not get the latest version to accurately work at all.
Try the attached file. -
RE: ? [Question] - A Ruby Calculator ?
I thought this worked. I tried the zip file contents in both SU2013 and SU2014.
I also tried installing via the SketchUcation Plugin Store. -
RE: Sections to 2D with layers
I had a chance to visit with the Skalp developers at the SU conference in Vail this year. They have been working extremely hard to create a 1st class plugin to deal with sections. They have looked at just about every aspect of sectioning and exploited every opportunity available in Ruby; PLUS a lot of ingenuity has gone into into the design of their UI to present a full-featured sectioning tool. They have not left too many stones unturned. Skalp's documentation is good also. I expect their support and continued development will be of the same caliber.

RE: [Plugin] SketchUcation Tools 2.6
When disabling a script, it is moved to the right pane and is displayed in red text. Should it also be removed from its respective SU Submenu? It is not happened for me (SU has to be closed and reloaded).
SU2014, Windows 7, Chrome browser.

Hi I,
Check your personal messages for link info. -
RE: [Plugin] Add comments to your file
Inteloide, could you paste some screen shoots where you link to a Google Web album photo and and another to a Google Map location? In both Google apps there is a link box where the link can be copied to the clip board. I am unsure if pasting from the pasteboard into Tab dialog field works as you planned or which field it should be pasted into.

RE: [Plugin] Add comments to your file
Any chance you could post an SU file which includes comment tabs with a link to a URL and a tab with a link to an image file so I can see how the field entries were made?
Thanks.
