@kwalkerman said: Hi Jim, This looks awesome. Sorry for the newbie question, but I can't figure out how to activate it. Where do I put the file? How do I start it from the ruby console? Thanks so much, -- Karen This is not a SketchUp Ruby, but an AutoHotKey file - follow the link in the OP.

Jim, thank You for a useful tool. I have a question though, why it is not launched from the sketchup toolbar? As this forum page is quite old (started in 2010) is there any su add-on making Measurements calculations that You know of, that is fully internal? greets, Wiktor

@jim said: I don't know, what happens? (because I'm not sure how to go about doing that.) here is a simple file that should load before all others: call it !!!aaa.rb # # file; !!!aaa.rb # # A snippet from my !loadpaths.rb - by Dan Rathbun # skp_info=true ruby_info=true load_paths=true global_vars=false # delay=0.5 # Sketchup.send_action("showRubyPanel;") UI.start_timer(delay,false) { puts "\n" puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n" if skp_info # print Sketchup Info to console puts ' Sketchup has been Loaded...'<<"\n" puts ' Sketchup Version ; '<<"#{Sketchup.version}\n" puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n" end if ruby_info # print Ruby Info to console puts ' RUBY has been Loaded...'<<"\n" puts ' RUBY_PLATFORM ; '<<"#{RUBY_PLATFORM}\n" puts ' RUBY_VERSION ; '<<"#{RUBY_VERSION}" puts ' RUBY_PATCHLEVEL ; '<<"#{RUBY_PATCHLEVEL}" puts ' RUBY_RELEASE_DATE ; '<<"#{RUBY_RELEASE_DATE}" puts ' RUBY_COPYRIGHT ; '<<"#{RUBY_COPYRIGHT}\n" puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n" end # ruby_info if load_paths # print LOAD PATHS to console puts "\n LOAD PATHS ($LOAD_PATH | aka $;) array;\n" $LOAD_PATH.each {|x| puts " #{x}\n"} puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n" end # load_paths if global_vars # print Global variables to console puts ' RUBY Global variables;'<<"\n" puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n" global_variables.each {|x| puts " #{x} = "<<eval("#{x}.inspect"<<"\n")} end # global_vars puts '----------------------------------------------------'<<"\n\n" } #

@thomthom said: How on earth did you find that? The unix strings command. I tripped over while looking for command-line options.

I recently learned the script language i used to write this, which is called AutoHotKey, gets flagged by a lot of people's anti-virus software. Be assured if you saw this there is no virus, but I've removed the executabele and posted just the source code.

shame it's Intel only "Fatal Error: This program was not built to run on the processor in your system. The allowed processors are: Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processors and compatible Intel processors with supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSSE3) instruction support"

@unknownuser said: Maybe the individual authors might take a peek and offer the latest date for their creations?? I tend to check that list often now that I found it. Each author can and should edit their own posts if their plugin title needs updated. I don't run the "complete" update as frequently as the "latest" update, but any changes will get picked up within a couple of weeks at the most.

@chris fullmer said: Or better yet, join the free plug-in writing task force. It is free to join Quote of all quotes, Chris..... A well deserved thank-you to all you writers out there. I download the ones I need; free or fee.

Good find Jim

Yup ... but really the better course would be duplex pipes.

You must use 12 blocks because you see 12 in each view! It's just arranging them at maximum efficiency... If you can do it with fewer than 12 then you are truly gifted

After that video, I went looking and found a few: -template "/path/to/template.skp" # startup template -notemplate # use no template -page "Scene 1" # set the staring scene -timing # some sort of test? There's more, if you search the .exe for these strings.

its absolutely wonderful tak2hata.. just need a bit tutorial on how the material attached first try: [image: ketewel01.jpg] regards,

Back to TIG's comment about plural vs. singular names for arrays, here is the way I'm naming things. In this context, the singular terms seem to work better for me, probably because I think of it as the mathematical notation P[sub:2dctu78y]0[/sub:2dctu78y], P[sub:2dctu78y]1[/sub:2dctu78y], ... P[sub:2dctu78y]N[/sub:2dctu78y]. =begin point[N] x-------------x point[0] angle[0] = angle_between vector[N], vector[0] vector[N] \ vector[N] = point[N], point[0] \ \ vector[0] \ vector[0] = point[0], point[1] \ x point[1] angle[1] = angle_between vector[0], vector[1] / vector[1] / vector[1] = point[1], point[2] / / / x point[2] angle[2] = angle_between vector[1], vector[2] =end

One problem is that some of the floating toolbars do not remember their shape after re-starting Sketchup. Using the new "Save Toolbar Positions" does not help, and I haven't figured how to resize them.

Thank you, solo. You gotta be fast, people. Its a flash in the pan.

Weld seems to create the same situation.

hmm... error goes away when you remove all Scenes. But reoccur when you create new. Even after deleting all guides. hm... yup, it's broken all right!
