This plugin generates very simple hand railing (handrail?) with just edges. This might not be great for rendering, but it gets the job done simply if you just want to simply add a bunch of edges to give the illusion of safety rails in your models.

Name : Simple Edge Railing

Description : Creates safety railing or handrailing as aseries of simple edges, no faces.

Credits: Very roughly based on the Weld.rb by Rick Wilson

Usage : Select continuous edges, then run the script (Plugins>Edge Railing)

Railing will be created

Type : Geometry creation tool

History:

0.2 (11.Dec.2015) - first update. lots of functionality added

0.1 (10.Dec.2015) - first alpha version

Hi All - I've been writing small, simple SketchUp plugins for several years for my own use and finally got the courage to share. So forgive me if I am breaking protocol on the best way to submit plugins to this site (please let me know how to do it correctly in the future).

I am starting with sharing this very simple plugin that turns off a selected layer in all scenes. I have seen a several requests in the past of turning off newly created layers in all scenes but hadn't found a direct way to do it (if I missed something, I apologize). There are some great plugins that allow work arounds including Layer Manager and Auto-Invisible Layer. But these are a bit different/more complex than what I wanted/needed. So I created my own simple plugin and am now sharing it here.

Without further ado....

Name : Turn Layer OFF In All Scenes (TOLIAS)

Description : Turns selected layer off in all scenes

Usage : Select a layer in the standard layer window (selected, with the dot filled in).

Activate plugin via Extensions >> TOLIAS. Confirm the layer you are turning off

and press okay. Layer will be turned off in all existing scenes.

Its been tested extensively in SketchUp 2015, 2016, and 2017. But please feel free to let me know if you find any bugs.

Thanks.
