      Hello Sketchers, I am still struggling with the 45° shadows on elevations. I tried to use north angel animator or north angel tool - the results are not stable and Layout has a hard time to update the shadows as created in SU Jim Foltz once work out the north angel animator. I ask him for an update but unfortunately he doesn't work on plugins any more. But he aloud to work and improve on the tool. Anybody out there who would like to work on an Tool update ?

      I just re-tested on some dxf's... some work others don't... do your files open in tiegra viewer or converter? maybe converting them back to a lower version will work... john

      One thing to beware of is that Sketchup::require/load annoyingly doesn't raise ruby errors - but instead just output the error text. So you might want to hook into $stdout and $strerr to catch that as well. (This is something I suggest only because you mention it was for a personal tool.)

      @jim said: It is because of how the exporters currently work that missing faces are a problem. An STL file a simple list of triangle vertices. Even if a face is missing in the SketchUp model, their vertices do still exist. So maybe an exporter could "make up" the missing faces just from the vertices. That would be awesome Right now if there are missing faces, I run the model through Netfabb, which is a program that will fix minor problems like that really quickly. @jim said: @marcus: Thanks for the info. I bought a copy of your book; would recommend it to anyone interested in using SketchUp for 3d printing. Much appreciated, Jim!

      @ying2014 said: hello ,jim I use Press F5 to starting Sketchup Which version of SketchUp is being launched? Is the file "SURubyDebugger.dll" located in the correct folder (as in the image for SketchUp 16?) [image: Y3uS_2016-04_383.jpg] Does SketchUp start completely, or does it freeze? When started with the debug server, SketchUp will appear to freeze while it is waiting for a "start" or "continue" command from Notepad++. Is you firewall set to allow connections to SketchUp?

      @dan rathbun said: My 1st advice.. do not use the SketchUp API's Set class (because it's a thin wrapper around a C++ collection,) and you cannot be sure of the order of it's elements, especially if you will be sync'ing to another Ruby-side collection such as an Array. Yeah, that seemed to be the problem - Sets are not ordered. Thanks Dan.

      SketchUp always includes its own Tools folder [and the nested Ruby folders] and your user Plugins folder in it load-path [ $:] You can include addition plugins folders in the load-path array, and any scripts in there will load as SketchUp starts. Fredo wrote a clever extension to do this for you. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=000_AdditionalPluginFolders Read its More Info... pages for usage etc...
