    • RE: Search Results in 3D Warhouse limited to 2500?

      Yes, after that. I added 1 more modle to the keyword 3D "Making it 2501", but only 2500 shows when I cycle through the results to the end.

      Have you ever browsed through 2500 results?

      It could have technical reasons. A google search with reasonable criteria can also give some statistics.

    • Search Results in 3D Warhouse limited to 2500?

      When I search for models, I get lot's of results,"Searching for 3D for example".. but - the Search results is limited to 2500 in the 3d warehouse when there is more then 2500 result? Is there a way to fix it?

    • RE: SU 9 Wishlist

      I have a few wishes for Sketchup 9 "free":

      1. The follow-me tool that can go over crossed lines.
      2. Push-pull on curved objects.

    • RE: Distace from Camera to object in drawing.

      Cool, thanks. Love it when I can know how far away something is in a model. 😄

      @al hart said:

      I took the utilitiestools.rb script in SketchUp, which displays an X,Y location as you move the mouse and changed it to display the distance from the camera instead.

      [attachment=1:2q0r3qa8]<!-- ia1 -->get_focal_length.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:2q0r3qa8]

      The heart of the change is this routine to display the camera distance:

      
      > 	# get camera distance from the eye to a point at (x,y,0)
      > 	def get_distance(target)
      > 		model = Sketchup.active_model
      > 		eye = model.active_view.camera.eye
      > 		distance = eye.distance(target)
      > 		# display in drawing units and inches
      > 		slength = Sketchup.format_length(distance) + sprintf(" (%g\")", distance)
      > 		return slength
      > 	end#def
      > 
      

      Try the attached script: get_camera_distance.rb

      [Edit: I uploaded a new version of get_camera_distance.rb]

    • RE: [Plugin] !AdditionalPluginFolders - v5.4a - 27 Sep 20

      I keep trying to download it but when I try to click on the download link, it logs me out . I get the following error "You are not authorised to download this attachment". It even happens when I'm already logged in. Is there a way to fix it?

      000RedirectPlugins is a small standalone script providing the capability to define an additional user-defined directory to load plugins in Sketchup.

      This can be useful in some situations, such as:

      1. Restricted access to System folder (C:\program files...) without administrator rights
      1. Sharing plugins across different versions of Sketchup
      2. Sharing plugins amongst users on a network
        The plugin adds a menu in Sketchup Windows > Plugin Additional Directory. This command pops up a dialog box where you can enter the path of an additional directory where Sketchup should load the plugin from, in addition to the default directories used by Sketchup.

      [attachment=1:c9l41n07]<!-- ia1 -->000RedirectPlugins - Dialog.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:c9l41n07]
      The additional directory is stored across SU Sessions. So you will do it once for all

      **IMPORTANT:

      1. Plugins will be loaded first from the additional directory and then from the SU standard plugin folders(/Plugins and /Tools). So you don’t need that all plugins reside in the additional directory.

      2. Some plugins do NOT work when loaded from a directory which is not the standard SU plugins directory. However, most new plugins should normally be OK. You can leave these plugins in the Sketchup…/Plugins folder, and they will be loaded.

      3. 000RedirectPlugins.rb is totally independent from LibFredo6. You don’t need to have LibFredo6 installed and it applies to any plugin.

      4. 000Redirect.rb does not make any particular assumption on the plugins structure or installation. Just make sure that you have the same footprint in the additional directory as you would have in the standard SU plugins folder.

      5. 000RedirectPlugins.rb allows defining several additional directories (paths must be separated by a semicolumn) but you should try to limit this number for performance reasons.

      6. It is indeed advised that plugins resides in either the additional directory or in the standard Plugins folder of Sketchup, but not in both.**

      No user manual (see section Quick Startbelow)

      • Language: English and French
      • Menus: by default, it is installed in Windows > Plugins Additional Directory
      • Icon toolbar: No icon provided
      • The plugin is free, for private and commercial usage.

      Download and drop the attached 000RedirectPlugins.rb file into the SU Plugins directory (it MUST be in the SU Plugins directory)

      On Mac the SU plugin directory should be:
      Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/plugins

      To Set or Unset an Additional Directory

      1. Select menu Windows > Plugin Additional Directory
      1. A dialog box appear
        [attachment=1:c9l41n07]<!-- ia1 -->000RedirectPlugins - Dialog.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:c9l41n07]
      2. Type the full path of the directory. Both / and \ are accepted, on Windows or Mac
      3. To remove additional directories, just make the field empty
      4. You will need to close and start Sketchup again to use the additional directory
        Notes:
      • You can enter several directories by typing their path separated by a semi-colon (;)
      • The validity and the existence of the directory are checked when you enter the path in the dialog box. You will get a message in case of problem.
      • The existence of the directory is also checked when starting Sketchup
