I'm really trying to understand what you mean, can you upload an image that demonstrates the issue?

An observer script could be written to "link" objects to accomplish this.

It makes a lattice from a group that's a single plane - faces and edges. The frames can have open or paned centres. All lattice frames are the same width. If you want an exact size make the offset around half of the intended frame width and it'll then expand at its edges to suit. If you want a bigger frame offset than that, then offset it (but less the 1/2 frame) and then group only the inner part. Then lattice-ize, explode the group and it'll merge with the outer frame, pushpull the outer bit to suit erasing coplanar edges etc...

Kris, I find it's a good idea to keep an eye on things in case you try to pull a fast one. -Gully [Gully Foyle]

Thanks Todd I know how to use find_support_file - its the plural version find_support_files I dont quite understand. It's not really important to know - just a query. Indeed, the search on the old ruby group is broken - not mush use. Regards Bill Wood [BillW]

I'm working on some different samples of basic Sketchup files for the plugin. Uploading to the site soon. The number of segments you'll want in a curve will depend on the size of the arc and the overall dimension. I've hardly made a science out of it but I find that cutting from circles of 360 segments or arcs of 90 segments yields "perfect" results. That is to say, other factors affecting edge quality off the cnc machine are greater than the segmentation effect. I suppose the goal would be that the peaks between any two chords along the curve should be less than 1/32nd or maybe 1/64th. As a simple exercise, one should be able create a partfile to cut a circle by following these steps Draw the circle on the red-green plane and make a component out of it. Set the z-zero to your material thickness: menu select Plugins->Zomadic Tools->Zomadicam->set z-zero Select the circle component and menu select Plugins-> Zomadic Tools-> Zomadicam-> Transform selected Geometry to Toolpath Select the new toolpath group generated from step 3 and menu select Plugins-> Zomadic Tools-> Zomadicam-> write selected Toolpath Geometry to partfile I'm working on incorporating Shopbot's built in curve commands for arccurves when appropriate but it's tricky when the curve has been scaled in some fashion.

Welcome, Soop, I am sorry I don't understand French but we also have a "Forum de langue Française" here wher you can get help in French.

Never tried... msn? sykpe (gaieus)?

Thanks for the links. I will try the freeship link tonight. Rob I will post some pictures that Ihave and tell me if it works. Thanks Don P: bolter

I suppose so. I am looking for new links. If I found any I'll post here. Thanks. P: Tareo

Not to speak about the fact that quite a few of these "styles" simply do not print as they appear on the monitor... But here comes the saying: "De gustibus non est disputandum..."

Thank you, I may do that, or as I really don't expect it to work I might just say forget it and redo the model. I still would like to know what the problem was so I don't repeat it (though I doubt it was something I did wrong). Because of that I may e-mail SketchUp support anyways to see if they can shed some light on the issue. P: DC High Heat

Thanks Kristoff, I'll work on the 2D plan and let you know once it's done. May be a day or two tho as I'm very busy this week best regards DOC_G

so simple! Thank you. This did the trick. jill P: jillbot

Invader, I have moved your topic to this forum for it fits here better.

To add to the list that Kris started, have a look at this sticky in the Gallery for some more rendering options.

Lou if it's the line where the groups meet which you are talking about then do the following. Open the group. Highlight the line, right click, hide. Then do the same with the group which has the other line showing. Although it looks like one line, you need to hide the line in each group. Dylan

Eric, This last sentence may be the "key" for the problem - SU tends not to draw the faces when the geomeztry is too small. What you did to fix it is the usual way. Still the error message is pretty funny - thanks for posting!

Just click on the relevant mode on the Face Style toolbar. Presumably, you don't have it loaded at the moment. View > Toolbars > Face Style P: Alan Fraser
