Hi Didier
I went to PM you and could not find a way to send to you so here it is.
Hi Didier
Really good of you to be of help
I have had no error messages, just function failure.
Draw double line fails to stay when using a double click or esc to terminate.
bug splat just exits SU and ask for a report.
To where ??
my dlin2 is dated 2/2/15
size 1,118
I do have a ruby console plugin but not sure of just what to do with it.
dline is a possible way to create reveals on non solid.
Even FormZ had this fcn way back when it had a hardware dongle.
Many thanks for all your super works way back in the beginning of time.
my regards
Dave

That would then not be User data - but Model data. Two very different things.

Looks like I interpreted thread subject in a context of my own thoughts 😳
I mean, I was going to suggest to use template for storing user settings data.
template.png
It is less elegant than just click "OK" button in "Settings" dialog of the plugin, of course 😄 But the user can save his own presets in template file, add description to it, then it will be possible to revert back to any previously saved configuration.

UPD.
The point is that I was thinking about abstract "application user" not the operating system user. Application means plugin here.
So I thought that application (plugin) usually runs "system wide" (not in "per user mode") and the problem is what is the best way to persist application settings (i.e. user preferences *application user here again).
Storing plugin settings right in document allows user preferences persistence across different machines and even across operating systems in theory 😉 (when I say "user" I mean plugin user). So user can take his *.skp file anywhere and continue working with it on any device that has SU and plugin 😄 and he does not have to care about configuring plugin again on each device.

Did you experience it yourself?

The multiplication kind of resembles the effect of the Inverse Square Law, where doubling the radius results in 4x the area, and 1/4 the intensity regarding light and acoustics.

Plugout: a Plugin that has been removed ☀

As in "causesproblems.rb became an immediate plugout for me".

there are hundreds of the social bookmarking sites... some are just more successful than others while others are taken over by groups of people who guide the link ranking to their liking.

TIG, what in save-copy-as-2.0-jf.rb should be changed in order to save the file in older version (2015) withoutaltering its name? Ideally, pop-up window with ' the File file with the same name exists, do you want to replace it?' should be suppressed as well. In short, regular Save command (but to v2015).
Thanks

You need to use camera.height in parallel mode.

Thank you, that works.

I agree with Brodie, speed reading with reasonable comprehension works (in my case), but leaves the color of contemplation, grayed. Even with technological information, it matters to contemplate. So if you must, you speed read. If you have the time, don't:-)

Updated the Shell plugin with a tool. Also available for users here at SCF: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39308

Jim has withdrawn his plugins and extensions. If you want to be able to draw helices, you could use Curve Maker's Helix tool. Look in the PluginStore at the top right of the forum page.

Cool, Jim, thanks. I love freebies (thus Christmas as well) 👍

The forums point to a .php file I think. If they pointed directly to the file, you would also be able to drag the link into SketchUp and have SU open the file directly in your current model. It would be a loverly feature, but phpforum does not do their attachment downloads good enough.

Wiped the Registry for SU8 and restarted, and now the menu's back, but not sure why it went away in the first place. 😕

My guess is it has something to do with what SU calls an "arbitrary axis rule" (pulled slightly out of context from the API).

Followme works nicely on a sphere. Try drawing a helical path over a sphere, then follow me along it. The face will align itself nicely onto the sphere.

Question:
Edit/Item/Make Group must be part of SU8? Don't see it in 7.xxx

Select two or more entities.
If the menu is not visible in the SU UI the shortcut list won't display it.

I am working with http://min.us guys to implement Sketchup .skp support for their drag and drop dropmocks clone.

Dropmocks was a open source proof of concept by Google Chrome UI lead Glen Murphy and I dont think that it will evolve more.

I reported it to Google ages ago when v8 was in diapers.
I haven't heard that they've fixed it... 😒
