Hmm thanks TIG, i'm going to look into that.

Hi all,

Im trying out the new ruby installer in Sketchup to install plugins from a *.rbz file.
Would there be a possibility to include components and materials in this rbz-file and let Sketchup install those properly? Previously we allways had customers extract Plugins, Components and Material folders in de the Sketchup directory but the new RBZ way could be a lot easier for some people.

Thanks in advance and happy modeling,

Quintus

Hmm the thickning trick seems to work. Alltough it is quite a work around and hard to fix. In my script the inner lattice can be smaller than the outer ring. Thats why I create them seperately.

I attached a SKP where you can see the procedure and another "error" I get in certain union situations. Would be great if you can shine a light on it

Classic, forgot the attachment!

Just tried again but the 4 inner holes keep getting filled.
Im using windows7 and sk8pro 8.0.4811

The simpler 'outer-ring/fame' has been modeled inside out, with its backs all looking outwards.
I found that if I edited it, reversed one face and then used orient, then the 'union' of the two solids worked just fine - with the 'lattice' getting the wider outer 'frame'...
Have you tried that ?

Hey TIG Thanks for your quick respons!

Actualy i did reverse all faces of That group once to check. I used ctrl-a and reverse faces. I"ll check again when i get home.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm expierencing a problem with the union (and outer shell tool).
See my example file attached to this post.
When I union both objects some "holes" fill automaticly. It does this in all variations of my model where "the square holes" are not on the sides of the grid.

For a plugin im writing it's essential to do this unions correctly.

Is this a known bug and is there a work around?

Thanks in advance,

Quintus

sample of my union error

Dear all,

Im having a strange bug with 2 groups which have the same material but give a different dark shading.
Without shadows its worse then with shadows turned on. Reversing a face gives the same result.

Anyone knows what is happening?

Quintus

Thanks for your quick response. I guess that probably is the problem.

Hi all,

I got this model which has really weird dark squares on the left and right side of the screen. I tried everything from styles to watermarks but I can't seem to get rid of them. I continued the model in a new sketchup file so it isn't bothering me anymore. But i would really like to know the cause of the problem. The origin was a v6 file but it stayed in v7 also.

Anyone has expierenced this before?

Regards,
Quintus
