Fredo's LOTT has this command binded to double space bar key

@jim said: Thomas, what if a definition exists in the DefinitionList but does not have an instance in the model? Do you still want its entities? I guess it depends of what the use of the collection is. Use ComponentDefinition#instances: Sketchup.active_model.definitions.each do |d| if inss = d.instances # line is correct! inss.each do |ins| # ... end end end azuby

Bon ben Coen ne sait pas non plus... Juste une question : Est-ce quelqu'un d'autre que moi en France utilise les notifications de réponses aux messages ??? Cocher " Notify me when a reply is posted" en bas de la fenêtre de création de réponse...

Monster smilie edit: its gone now, although it was very impressive. I dont think google releases any details of the number of licenses it sells, and it would be pretty hard to get details for the free licenses, as it would probably involve surveying lots of people to get an idea of the distribution of SU. So in answer to your question: No.

Tricky tip

Looks interesting. I think i can use this in a loop we have analyzes all objects and can contain several instances. Thx

I think this is a good idea. and to control it you have a "display line style" toggle button, like you have an X-ray button at the moment. and in addition to that an option would be useful, where you can set the style to "show hidden line segments", meaning, that with a dotted line for example the dots are shown black and the space inbetween is displayed light gray. otherwise it could be difficult to model (and find little gaps that prevent faces from closing) while having "display line style" switched on. usulally you would model without this feature in any case and when you start texturing the model, you "texture" the line styles as well. so you need to be able to apply line styles like materials.

In the sketchup.rb file, there is a method defined called "require_all(path)" All you need is a one-liner in your plugins folder: require_all("//path/to/network/plugins/folder") Assuming the network drive is mounted.

WHOA, So I have to give a try to the free versionof SU7, but, I think my computer will begin to say ARRGHH... (quite old... )

Already written... Here... Sorry !

Just wanted to add my thanks -- this plugin works perfectly!

I'm working on mirroring the texture and UV mapping of front faces to the backside. Anyone got any idea on how to do that?

@unknownuser said: I want to have 3D coordinates of a point which is given by middle of two points clicked before. Ruby can easily do that. But I also want to use this coordinate as second point of a line, or center of the circle, opposite angle of a rectangle, etc... So inside an active tool ! How is going on your project to run a tool inside an existing active tool? I'm very curious to know if is somthing possible or not. If so, it could solve lots of annoyng problems (middle between two points, many types of tangents, and so on). Let me know something. Thanx!

@unknownuser said: At least if you have AutoLisp experience exporting the xdata in a usable format for Ruby would be relatively straightforward... Thanks for your thoughts about extending such interface. I had thought about this for myself, but I have to make steps one after another. So first I want to get the structure in place again and then I can thought about adding/transporting more Info. The AutoLisp experience is not the problem, since I am a nearly full-time autolisp-developer and I am really used to do anything with ExtendedEntityData. We have logical propertys and geometric propertys stored in EED and even small chunks of Lisp-code stored there, which gets fired under certain events. So I can imagine I could do similar things in the future with ruby.

Let's see if it's the add_cpoint() method making an issue first... Easier that dabbling around in the Tool class point picking... Try this in the Ruby Console with an empty v2020 model... does it add all of the 10 cpoints at 1" x-intervals? Works OK on PC... model=Sketchup.active_model ents=model.active_entities 0.upto(9).each{|x|ents.add_cpoint(Geom;;Point3d.new(x,0,0))} If that works, then perhaps the Tool code is flaky ? e.g. does it set the active_model up each time it runs, as all current models on MACs use the same SketchUp - unlike PCs ??

Aaah !! Thank you Fredo6 !! that's exactly what I want !

Here's a direct downloadlink for the demo - but it's veeery slow http://www.zdnet.de/downloads/prg/3/4/en10780134-wc.html edit: sorry, it's only SC2007 - i didn't know that there's a v2008 available now... so you have to fill out the form... me too

cool. now at last I know what it does! I allways knew that something happens. but it didn't really soom extends or anything and I was to lazy (stupid) to figure it out. "center clicked point" makes perfect sense. thanks watkins for pointing out!

Perhaps this would help? http://www.woodzone.com/encyclopedia.htm#top http://sawdustmaking.com/GLOSSARY/glossary_of__woodworking_t.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_woodworking_terms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodworking_joints

Like I said... Fix it by adjusting the FOV setting...
