Oh... sorry, thanks Didier

Hi Terry, your plugin is really good thanks. It works well, but i've noticed a strange thing. In SU6 free when i do right click on a face i had this:

Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method active_path' for #<Sketchup::Model:0x879db90>> (eval):3406:in valid_group?'
(eval):3458:in selected_stuff' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:46 C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/ctsMaker/curve_menu.rb:45:in call'

I've tried it on SU7 pro (with no other plugin installed) and no error message.
Maybe a plugin conflict?

Hi TIG, i've tried this plugin on SU6 free and didn't work for me. I had this error on ruby console:

Error: #<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments(2 for 1)>
C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:361:in offset' C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:361:in face'
C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:458
C:/Programmi/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/SectionCutFace.rb:458:in `call'

Then i've installed it on SU7 pro (with no other plugin installed) and it worked fine.
A plugin conflict?
Thanks.
Massimo

Thank you so much Fredo. I had a quick test in SU 6 and it works very well.

Drunken architecture...

Very nice work. But sorry, as i pointed out to Jason, as an architect i am a bit disturbed by the perspective distortion. May i suggest you to try this little program?

Simply put the .rb file in your Sketchup plugins folder. Then you will find the bevel tool in context menu (right button click of the mouse).

If you question was about how to round quickly the corners of 2d shapes then you can use the "2d fillet" plugin that you can find here http://www.ohyeahcad.com/download/. Select all the shapes you want than just input a fillet radius.

-"Subdivide and smooth" you can buy it at Smustard:

• "Joint push pull" is here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=6708&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=joint+push+pull;
• "Skin" is here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=1306&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=skin+plugin.

Nice job indeed! For this kind of work this plugin for photoshop is a must.

It's a volumetric light generator that works on images.
Here is a quick try i made with your last image.

Thanks Didier, now it works very well.

Yes, yeees. Read the previous posts...

The same happens (never works) if you try to do that on a single face in order to have a grid (horizontally + vertically).
Maybe it's only my problem?

Unfortunately I think it is your problem, because what you describe always work on my side...

Hi Didier and thanks for your patience. When i use for the second time "insert guides at divisions" some lines are missed (very often the middle line) but i've noticed that if i click a little bit below the edge of the solid it works fine. Maybe this makes some sense to you?

Hi TIG and many thanks. I've tried both "intersect with self" or not, but nothing changed. A little problem...

Unfortunately nothing to do with camera position, Mitcorb. Don't understand why but it simply doesn't work for me.

Really strange. I've tried again. Sometimes works and sometimes not. Simply draw a rectangle then pushpull. Copy the solid along the green axe and apply to the first solid "insert guide at divisions" horizontally (it works), press esc, and then apply to the second the tool vertically (sometimes it doesn't works). The same happens (never works) if you try to do that on a single face in order to have a grid (horizontally + vertically).
Maybe it's only my problem?

I've played a bit with tool n#5 with 4 divisions.
Maybe another bug?

Hi Didier, first of all thanks for this great update (i especially like tools n#4 and n#5). I tried it quickly and i had two problems.

1. In SU 6 i overwrote the folder and the .rb file on the older projections ones. I opened SU, the new toolbar was there but, with the exception of the point tool, nothing worked. So i deleted the .rb file and the folder from the plugins folder, i reinstalled them and that worked. But..
2. The tool n#2 seems not working properly. The temporary display appears, but when i click on a face, for example on a cube face, the behaviour of the tool is strange. Sometimes it draws only 3 construction lines, sometimes nothing. The same happens with a line click.
   Maybe my fault?
   Thanks.
   Massimo.

Good work, Solo! It seems that you only forgot a surface on the front edge of the chair. Here is the Solo's SU model with a quick "repair".

Chair ant 1-1.skp

I've found this other link for you. The only problem is that the cad file comes out directly in SU a bit "ruined". But maybe you can "restore" it or you can use the legs.
