Hi,
I'm trying to use TS v2.6a. It is installed and the toolbar is showing. However, when I try to use the plugin nothing happens. Both icons can be selected, but no action takes place.

I have un-installed the plugin, then re-installed it. The got the following error message;

"TopoShaper 2.6a: Error starting up pi ugin (creating menus and icons)
undefined method ''add_item' for nii:NiiCiass [in lib6traductor.rbe - #'add_command(): line 1391] c:jusers/mwds/appdatajroaming/sketchup/sketchup
2022/sketchup/plug ins/fredo6_! I ibfredo6/li b6core.rbe:1 072:in 'rescue
in block in effective_load_part2'"

Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
I love to know how to lock the trays in place, including their respective sizes (ie. Scrapbook and various trays). I use a multi-screen setup and have the main Layout window in one screen while the tool tray are on another. Each time I open Layout, I have to reset the tray sizes.

Alright...
Super happy. That work great. Cheers. I owe you a beer.

Thanks for the reply and those who read my post. Perhaps I didn't explain myself so sorry for the confusion. Below is what I'm trying to achieve; The Yellow object is a face. The Green object is that face converted to a spline. The Magenta object is a representation of the Green spline offset a given distance.

This is used by me when describing the clearance from the original object (in this case a building) and any zone to be kept free of obstacles. Eg. - If you need to describe the vegetation exclusion zone around a building for the purpose of bushfire protection, for instance.

Therefore, I need to draw the building perimeter, and then offset a spline to a certain distance. This is easy to do in AutoCAD, but it's an additional step I'm trying to avoid.

Thanks again in advance for the assistance.

Hi All,
I have used AutoCad in the past to generate a spline from an object (face / rectangle / etc.) and then offset this spline to a given distance.

Is there a tool / plugin for this operation in SketchUp (preferably) or Layout?

Many thanks in advance.

This is an older subject but still relevant today; Please, an integrated spell check for Layout.

Generally: Great tips from all the contributor.

However, The main thing on the list for me was - model walls (solid / cavity / drywalls)

Surely there is a plugin that gives us a multi-element wall system (say brick veneer) with the ability to specify wall height, thickness and element composition (ie outer thickness, cavity and inter thickness, all with assigning various layer to each).

Yes, there are some very cool and trick plugins out there and I would have to agree with many that I do not like yearly renewals.

Thanks for the reply.... Glad I'm not the only one with this prob...

Hi All, not sure if this is the right place to post this (first post for SU anyway)...

This is an issue that crops up sometimes and I can't figure out why....

Basically, when zooming into a model to get closer to the action, you just get closer, but on occasions the model starts to disappear as you zoom in; as if a focal plane is moving ahead of you and making that part of the model in front of it disappear. Does this make sense...?

OK, I have attached 2 pics to illustrate my plight.

In the examples posted, the item that is affected is in a group, but this is not the issue as this happens when these are plain geometry. To make matters murkier, in the e.g. shown, if I explode the group, the problem goes away and when I then re-group, the problem is back.

Many Thanks in advance...
