I was going over some plans with a contractor who was pricing a project. When he saw REFLECTED CEILING PLAN he thought it meant the ceiling was finished with mirrors.

I don't like the initials idea. I'm probably here early enough to lock up "mr" but Mike Roberts and Mary Ryan may not be so happy when they get here next year. The Java sort-of-standard proposed by Sun (inverted website names) never got popular. Too long. A ten-pound cure for a one-pound problem. I think that using the name of the plugin should be SOP. VisMap is in a module named VisMap. That means that before you release anything, you Google it, which is a good idea for a lot of reasons. A Wiki or Google doc re bad plugins would be most helpful. "X is bad" is not helpful, but "X is bad because..." would tell you what not to do so that you don't end up on the bad list.

Here's the situation: When you bring an image into SketchUp for use as a texture, a Material object is created. That object stores the original path to that texture file, so a location already exists. The free version will look in that stored location for reloading materials, and will reload it if it exists. The pro version will let the user specify a folder to search for matching file names. I had not thought about this too much before, but I suppose each texture could be given a specific replacement. That would not be as fast for the user if they chose to do that, but it would be more flexible. The fastest/easiest way for the user would be to specify a folder for replacements. Any need for exporting the images in a model to a folder? I know something exists that does that, but it could be added in...

Im coming back to using Sketchup after a couple of years away from it. I used to use the Pro version of this plugin all the time. I've looked on the Smustard site and it looks like its closed shop. Is this plugin still available anywhere or is there anything that does the same job. I've tried SimJoubert's component to scene but I want to be able to make scenes from groups and / or components. Any help or pointers much appreciated...

I hadn't written it up yet (we were going to do a bit more content, then things happened) for the News feed. It should have appeared in the Scripts feed, though.

Danke schoen, Burkhard. Hast du gehaben eine gut Reise für Arbeit? Leider wir nicht sprechen für ein lange Zeit, und mein Deutsch heute ist nicht gut.

Rick, can you show me a screenshot of this bag with the "high" quality cutout please? this is not the quality I need for my work... I'm thinking trees/flowers, etc. [image: JwNW_golfbag-4-low.jpg]

Organizer 1.4 is now available. To update to Organizer 1.4, you have three possible options: Use the download link you previously received when you purchased your license. If you don't have it, then Use the "MySmustard" button on the free Smustard Toolbar. Register using the email address provided when you purchased your license. If you don't have that account, or if you just don't want to install the Smustard Toolbar (which also gives you access to relevant upgrade offers), then Email me and I'll hunt down your information. If too many need/choose this option, my response may be delayed, and I may need to come up with an alternative method.

yeah i already knew that one. But thanx anyway, did you already found different solution

SelectionMemory2 and SelectAtStartup both rely on Observers, a new ruby feature exclusive to SketchUp 6. Sorry... But thanks for the question - I need to put that on the website.

Hi Rick Once again with more clarity I hope. Here is the deal that seems to work for other graphic data. You buy so many credits at a set price for each (say $2 per credit)your option for how many. Just like script at the Church Bingo Fest. A set number of credits are required for each graphic downloaded and charged against your account.(credit card) So that you do not get logged down with 1sies 2sies perhaps you could set a min purchase credit of say $10-$20.(or min number of conversions) A BIG package deal at a discount is always a good pump primer. Like many other downloads a time limit for downloading would be part of the deal. Just some ideas that I hope will help get you off and going ASAP. Whatever you decide will be OK here. Dave

I am not aware of a way to do this via ruby, other than to create an observer to report the current ratio as the user changes the size of the window manually. I have thought about doing this one, but haven't gotten to it yet.

gerne, du hast meine mail. ...und von mir gerade eine bekommen. Burkhard Translation?
