I haven't tested the option yet, but the SU2Fryrender has a function like that to get their instancing going.
It's not exactly the same but the complex component gets substituted by a low poly version so SU doens't choke on it.
At render export it will render the Hi poly version

you're awesome... that trouble script is the foshizzle

Adobe Illustrator have raster to vector functions. But I'm not sure how good it is for CAD drawings...

none... and actually I plan to show later how I'm putting them to use as Cornice style Floor Truss Wraps... by scaling them up....

Nice work Kris.

What settings did you export the avi's at??

I'm wondering, why the Ruby extension programmers do not make use of the Sketchup built-in Extension class, so the users can switch the extension on and off via Window > Preferences ... In every case (with a loader script or built-in support) you need to restart Sketchup when switchung off extensions, because you can't take away menu items. Would be possible to overwrite the methods in the Ruby extension when switching off via loader script, but anyway the extension is loaded.

Also have a look on my approach(!) to organize scripts:

I have done a similal thing and made roof & wall sections at variuos roof pitches.

The sections are a little over detailed so I can position them exactly where I want, but then I delete the internal bits of the roof construction that I dont need and normally just retain the perimeter (or group any brick veneer). I then copy and paste the perimeter of the floor slab to each group so I can use the tool to complete most of the work as seen here http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=13958&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=60#p109543

there is a right click and save... or a select image and save as jpg. then you have to import the jpg into SU...

and make sure to have the stonecad preview cut the edges for tiling...

eu poderia jurar que estava falando com um estrangeiro. bom inglês o teu. na escala do cyberspace somos praticamente vizinhos!

uma hora dessas temos que armar um encontro dos sketchupers locais.

abraço.

as well you shouldn't get used to our imperial system... is archaic and irrational. 10 units of 1 and 0 that is the universal language, that... when and if ever we meet another life form, from another place, will be the language they know.

UNLESS they have 16 fingers ? Then it'd be in Hexadecimal... But it's true that on/off 1/0 binary is the simplest of all... Of course base 12 like feet/inches does have it's advantages - 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3 and 3/4 are all whole numbers - unlike metric/decimal where only 1/2 and assorted 1/10ths work... That's why long a go some one put 12 hours into the day and night and 360 degrees in a circle - 360 is a multiple of 12 and subdivides into lots of whole numbers - unlike gradians and radians...

thanks... I'll try that out...
