Hi everyone,

does someone know the keycodes for a intelmac.
Im trying to use Jan Sandstrom JSMovetool but it wont work on a intel based mac...
Im dont know any ruby script, but i thinkit has something todo with the keycodes. I opened de RB-file and saw it was written for PC and Powerpc mac.
I know some AS flash scripting and im almost sure it doesnt work cause of the wrong keycodes here. See

def activate   
    # This sets the label for the VCB
    Sketchup;;set_status_text "Distance", SB_VCB_LABEL
end

  model = Sketchup.active_model 
  entities = model.active_entities
  ss = model.selection


if RUBY_PLATFORM == "i386-mswin32" then                 # Win XP  
    $leftArrow = 37          # Arrow Left Key 
    $upArrow  = 38           # Arrow Up Key 
    $rightArrow  = 39        # Arrow Right Key 
    $downArrow = 40          # Arrow Down Key 
    $altKey = 18		# Alt Key
    $shiftKey = 16		# Shift Key
    $controlKey = 17		# Control Key

elsif RUBY_PLATFORM == "powerpc-darwin" then            # Mac OSX 
    $leftArrow = 63234       # Arrow Left Key 
    $upArrow  = 63232        # Arrow Up Key 
    $rightArrow  = 63235     # Arrow Right Key 
    $downArrow = 63233       # Arrow Down Key 
    $altKey  = 524288        # Alt/Option Key 
    $shiftKey = 131072		# Shift Key
    $controlKey = 1048576	# Command (Apple) Key

elsif RUBY_PLATFORM == "intelmac" then            # Mac OSX 
    $leftArrow = 108       # Arrow Left Key 
    $upArrow  = 30        # Arrow Up Key 
    $rightArrow  = 39     # Arrow Right Key 
    $downArrow = 31       # Arrow Down Key 
    $altKey  = 524288        # Alt/Option Key 
    $shiftKey = 16		# Shift Key
    $controlKey = 20	# Command (Apple) Key

end #if

i tried some things getting the keycode but i think its not running cause of this line "elsif RUBY_PLATFORM == "intelmac"
i just put in intelmac, but cause i dont know any ruby im not sure thisis correct.
if someone could help, please your welcome

Hi there,

im quite new to SU! Im trying to make a sketch of this beach chair. But its got some special shapes in the feet which flow over in the bed itself.
The bed is made of a kind of plastic which has an angle of about 45o. Check the pictures if some one could help me with i would appreciate it.
I tried it myself but i get a bit stuck at the joints of the bed and legs of the chair. I marked the areas green

Just gave me another toy, I mean tool.

3 minutes to make.

how did you make this shape... follow me doesnt work when draw a shape on lets say a cilinder

where can i find the jpp tool

He guys...
nice thread this one. But with what tools do you do the modelling in SU...
is this done woth the terrain tool. Ive seen posts here where they tell they made car bodies in 5-10 minutes

interesting this stuff does anyone know how to stop a file from playing in UI

He morisdov...
kwel script!!! i got some problems. when ad i.e. 2 steps for a cube i than ad 2 scenes and update eacht scene with its own position of the cube. than i play the animation my cube disappears at one the positions???

remus thanx for the tip... indeed i was working in mm. but it wasnt that small. i was trying to make a wooden table which has plywood tiles of 500mm x 100mm. but i scaled it and than made the arc without the cut thanks again.

ps im working on a imac 24" with leopard. i got this mac on my work just a couple weeks, im not really sure i like it. native im a graphic designer and used to work on amc a couple years a ago. I loved the mac always for it steady system, but this system sucks a bit!!! SU suddenly quits aswell with other programs. i read that tiger is much more stable

hi there,

im kinda new to google sketchup. Ive watchen a lot of tutorials about SU and how it works etc.
I got this problem. If i draw a rectangle and pull in to orb. Than a draw a arc on one of the sides and than select the upper face and than go to the follow me tool. it has to make all rounded edges. ok... but there is always a small gab when i do this see the attachments. cant solve this one...
