Cheers! Yeah shape bender was in my mind though I wasn't using it properly (red axis) hence my silly question

Hi there, I'm currently working on a skatepark design and I want to get a row of 'pump bumps' to follow a given line (see image). The line is all over the show, not simply flat. Been trying to think what plugin will do this though my thoughts are eluding me . Any ideas or other train of thought?

Cheers
Richard

Well, I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned it but SketchUp 2014 was released today. Was everyone asleep?

Thanks for the heads up Dave.

What's New SU 2014

Cheers Charlie, the what's new link explains a lot. Kept on directing me to what's new in sketchup 2013 when clicked on the sketchup download page...

The only problem I have now is reintegrating my plugins etc.. Opted out of the additional folders.rb > dropbox folder plugin setup for a Mega.co.nz account syncing folders straight to the ones in sketchup. Now to resync and deal with new folder names (plugins > Shippedextensions), plugins not working on transfer, what the heck!

Installed SU 2014 and came on with trial period. When I went to purchase license they indicated that they already sent me the license details. As I didn't receive them I asked for a resend and voila, free upgrade. Nice!

Just installed this plugin through sketchucation tools, works fine though when I press enter nothing happens, must be missing something here....?

To get the full benefit of the plugin it is best to start fresh and install all your plugins through the store again.

This primes your data for future updates to those plugins. Historically we can't tell what you did before the SketchUcation Tools install.

Yeah that is a good idea as it would possibly explain why my sketchup is now crashing on startup after installing skechucation tools. Old rbs never updated, conflicting, time for a cleanup

Awesome thanks for the clarification TIG. Just looking into the auto update function in the sketchucation tools is there a way to make it detect existing plugins to see whether they are up-to-date too?

HI there,

Before I install I was just wondering if I can designate the plugin folder/ folders that SketchUcation Tools corresponds to? Currently I have my plugins in a dropbox folder that I link to from all of my computers using the additional folders plugin, thus keeping my plugins consistent across all machines.

Cheers

Great Ruby, CHEERS!!!!

Yes. This is a known issue on Windows. When you launch both apps, if you "Run as Administrator" it'll work.

Yeah tested this by sending one model to LO, then made new one saved and tried sending, no luck. My user account is an administrator, well, the only admin on this comp. Using vista home premium SP2, not sure if this is an issue...

Cheers again

Pretty sure you still need to tell the program to run as admin...

If you right click on the .exe icon to launch, you can get to a check box under advanced.
This should keep the setting so you do not have to right click each time.

Ha yeah that did the trick, learn something new everyday

Thanks bud

Auto render is turned off, turn it on, or select the model and click render.

Sweet, yes the auto render under Layout Preferences/ General/.. worked wonders
Thanks J Hauswirth

The checkbox on the SketchUp dialog called Auto also changes this setting.

Aa yes yes yes, my bad for not exploring all the functions in the dialogue boxes, even in SU7. When I made the transition to SU8 it had changed a few settings that I wasn't use to manipulating, now I have been shown the light! cheers again mate.

Hi there,

Cheers for your replies and feedback, I'll have a good look at this tonight when I have the time and get back with some feedback

Hi there,

Cheers on the recent releasee of SU8, the new tools will definitely help in my workflow. I've just been having a wee bit of a problem with sending to Layout and updating/ changing scenes in there. Sending to layout works fine if Layout is closed but will not work if it is already open. The main problem is that once my model is in Layout 3 it won't change the scenes or update reference when need be (exclamation mark pops up in bottom right). The only way I've found to get around this is to double click each view (scene) that I've setup that will then change/ update accordingly. Originally I thought it was an issue bringing SU7 models into 8 and then sending to Layout though after creating a model in SU8 and sending it off it would do just the same.

I've included a couple snaps outta sketchup. At thew moment I've been sticking with SU7 until there is a remedy for this problem. Has this been an issue for anyone else?? Any ideas on how to sort it out?

Cheers
