That plugin is freaking awesome!

Messing around with the scale tool is just making it more difficult than it needs to be.

I'm assuming you made the first ring by using the follow me tool. All you need to do is draw two arch shapes instead of one.

I've included a step by step skp so you should be able to work it out easier. If you don't want the two rings to touch you just need to draw them so they aren't touching.

Silver Ring follow me.skp

Is Tekkybot a real person, because I'm thinking that he actually is a Bot that's been created so he can spam this site to create a SU manual.

I'm pretty sure that sorgesu has explained this to it before, but I guess the programme is having difficulty with her answer so needs more input before moving on.

There is a taper tool available here: http://www.drawmetal.com/download

I don't know if that's what you mean. I use that ruby and would recommend it.

This Plugin does not work in the free version of Sketchup

I have the free version of Sketchup. I have the plugin Soap Skin and Bubble. The plugin works fine for me.

Yes.

Yes.

Will the date be prolonged?

Just had a look at http://www.tensile-structures.de/sb_software.html and there has already been a newer version which works until 10th January 2009. I think last time the release ended there was a gap between the the time limit and a new release.

Is the time and date on your PC correct?

The reason I ask is that tonight is the expiry date of the SSB plugin.

I don't have the projections plugin so I don't know which that one is, but the surface operations toolbar is tools on surface by Fredo6 available here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=11212&start=0

Here you go:
[attachment=0:56pbn4c3]<!-- ia0 -->projection_extension.zip<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:56pbn4c3]
Just unzip in your plugins folder.

There is a newer version of that as well - "more user-friendly than previous version": http://www.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/Ruby/EM/projection_v6.zip

Isn't Sandbox only in the Pro version?

It's in the free version as well.

Well I'd say that if you're getting lines left over after making a dome with the follow me tool you're doing something wrong.

Can't help out with a Turner Field model.

If you don't get a Turner Field model you could compromise and just use another retro style ballpark from the 3DW. Just a quick search for the highest rated showed up as The Baltimore Oriels' Oriel Park at Camden Yards. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=246eb10a49327cf16a652dde316c2de7&prevstart=0

I think it's just the "labels" getting lost. If I open up my Music Files and have the file open, then click on the open Sketchup, then hover over the Music Files at the bottom of my screen, then a label appears pretty much exactly like yours. The label in mine appears at the bottom of the screen and I just think yours is appearing randomly for some reason.

I guess a simple question to ask is if you have Metallica songs on your PC. I've never used a Mac, but did you have your music folders open or were you using a media player?

I imagine you'd get even more praise if you demonstrated some humility like the rest of SCF's contributers.

Let him have is 15 minutes of fame Jackson.

He deserves to have more than 15 minutes of fame. Doesn't mean he can start insisting that all the yellow M&Ms are removed and no one is allowed to look him in the eyes though.

If he wants to wear sunglasses at night, that's up to him.

The mirroring of the cabinets in the flooring would never happen, so that's something that needs correcting IMO.

Other than that I think it's excellent.

No. It wouldn't surprise me if there were greater differences between the Pro and free versions in V7 than there are now.

I think the Pro version will either cease to exist with v7 or there simply has to be a huge difference between the free and Pro version. They simply cannot get away with charging around $500 for the very limited offerings they have given for v6 Pro.

I could see a massively enhanced SU Pro, with most of the features people whine and whine about not having, while the free version just has minor tweaks done to it.

But I do think it's possible that Google could scrap the Pro version altogether. I cannot imagine the Pro version brings in very much money and that money is probably a tiny amount compared to all the SU and GE development.
