Ok, I'm inside a group of exploded rails with a circle and point. How do I select the rails after the command prompts to select them?
If i put them inside the group of exploded curves w the circle and point, it will break the perimeter curves in itty bitty lines and does not work.
Thanks Tig! sorry for my density 
Thanks Tig,
I got the diagonals from the EEbyrailstolattice but got lost At EEbyface. I would post a screen shot but I got a bugsplat error. Do I explode both sets if diagonals and then use eebyface? When I used eebyface it made the rails orthagonal. I did try the linsetocylinder and got that to worked. I missing one of your steps.
Hello Tig,
Will this work with a circle face and diagonal like the lattice by rail. Lattice by rail allows the diagonal. I notice the diagonal dialogue is not a choice with the rail by face.
Is this correct? I would like to have pipes that cross diagonal to each other with glassin between.
Thanks
Hello Tig,
Will this be similar to the old ADO autimatic drawings export of pages in dwg or image format. Do you recall this ruby script. It was very easy to use. I think Didier B was the original author. It as also very useful.
Thanks,
Anyone have any luck on exporting the elevations in autocad? I get a sectioncut line at the ground level an no other lines???? 
Please help!
Thanks,
Thanks Roger,
I'm exploring options and will maybe post some ideas when I get a chance.
I've tried it as well. Thanks Fredo for such a wonderful tool. Can you get it to maintain a sharp edge? I noticed it round the corners. Would be nice to have this as an option if available.
How do you model somthing like this or some form that similates an ocean wave? I'm have the challenge of modelling a wave that will have to be eventually built at some scale. I have a challenge thinking of how to make the form in sketchup first. Any sugestions on a method would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Marian,
Thanks for your tutorial! I'm following along. How do you create your double lines? Do you use a front and rear imgage as well?
Pixero,
What command did you use to get your rectangle to a tin map. Is there such a way just by selecting a face or multiple faces.
The clients aren't the problem it's some of our collegues that we have to convince. They havn't got a clue.
These are stubborn architects that think they know with out even trying to use the software what the program is capable of. I have tried to convinced the office that su is more that just drawing pretty 3d models. Su as Bob says can be incorporated in every phase of the project including CD's. I got this question today- "Is it as acurate as autocad?Can you use to do cd's?"...I just wanted to SCREAM!!!The only reason why I'm complaining is because I know how much more productive our office could be if they would fully embrace and push the software to its limits. Su has breath new life in to those who know its real potential. I'm done trying to convince the doubters of what is clearly obvious to most of us on this forum. Su is practical and fun too!
ps. I'm interested in kowing how many offices use SU and how much?
It just appears that everyone is talking about this program in some capacity. I never knew this to be the case about any 3d program until the arrival of SU. Am I being biased?
P: lapx
Notice this does not always work for me either even after previously saving. Where does it save the tool bar file or does it? It appears to be bugggy.
It should allow you to save various presets. This should be a job for google. Google where are you? I'm so thankful for the ruby scripter's ...Google should be too. SU would have died sometime ago as a serious tool but for the ruby god's. I hope google is rewarding the ruby god's somehow.
Thanks Tig, I scaled back on my plugins by unloading in the preference extentions menu. That seems to work for now. I'll have to load up the "otimizer".
Greyout menu's in Sketchup are not just limited to Fredo's plugins from what i'm experincing. Hope this is resoslved soon.
It's become very frustrating.
Solo, time to quit playing around and retire...write that instruction book! If you need an investor I'm in 
Think of all the kids (adults too) you can influence with your instructions "drawing cartoons with sketchup". Its a winner!
Anthony,
Great Stuff! Your curves have improve exponentially. You imagination is unlimited.
Keep it up man. 
Hey Adrian,
You are a sketchup hall of fame'er. I have always admired your worked. Good to see you posting on the board.
No doubt you've kept busy in chi'town and abroad with all that talent.
We are paying for sins of our fathers. What will we pass on to our children? We should not make excuses for criminal behavoir which is what society has told us. There has to be some uderlying reason...The reason is immorality. You can be poor and not be a criminal. And you can be a criminal and not be poor. Lets stop making excuses for bad behavoir and punish those who break the rules. Making excuse for those who commit these crimes only enables and gives justice to their illegitimate acts. There are still civil ways to sovle problems. Being poor from where I come from and what I have experienced is a result of the individuals lack of acquiring knowlege and/or equipping themselves with a skills that someone else finds valuable. I know a lot of poor people who are not and never have been criminals. There are no excuses!
Have no idea why this does not work. I cannot export acad dwg without loss of lines. Can anyone debug this? However, it does work when I copy just the building into a new file.
