Hi ruby masters!
I have PLENTY 2d components laying in xy plane. Could anybody create a routine that'd make them (by mouse click):
1/ arise (to zx plane)
2/comp. origin to middle bottom point
3/ become "always face camera".
4/ ask about "shadows follow the sun" option.
I guess it'd be pretty usefull thing for many other users.
Many thanks in advance!

To admins: Is there an option (for forum end users @least)to hide some forum threads from the "new posts" ?
Those "my projects wips look so boring" make me nerveus lately

theres a file in your sketchup folder - thumbsup.dll - it must have been inadvertently unregistered - if u have any shell extension utility - eg filemenutools, you can reregister the dll(via explorers context menu) and your sketchup thumbnails will be restored. alternatively you can use regsrv32 ( though i dont know exactly how that's done)

these are guides on adding register dll/icx to your explorer context menu

Hi Tony! Thanks for advice but unfortunatly ThumbsUp.dll registering didn't help (tried both: filemenutools & 2nd link cure).
P.S. Uninstalling SU5 solved the first problem. )

Hi everybody!
I have 2 small but annoying issues with SU7.
1/ I can't link .skp files to sketchup.exe (v7). The system tries to open with v6 on double-click within windows explorer (properties-open with-change-bla-bla-bla didn't help).
2/ What happened to .skp thumbnails in WinExplorer? It worked some time ago and now stopped (v6,v7).

P.S. BTW If someone of dev team reads this post:
Please add a favorites (windows favorites) button to all save,open,export,etc dialog windows.Please do it.
I have 40+ projects in local network and favorites button in ACAD for example does help a lot.

Well.. it looks like I need a ruby-predator that would kick others out.)

Hi!
Is there a way to prevent rubies from being shown in context\right click menu?
Thanks in advance.

It took 2 years?
I have a feeling that an elephant gave birth to a mouse.
I guess even Autodesk (sorry for mentioning)make more efforts every 12 month..
You google people are simply turned to *** ***** *********(Edited by Admin. Please be more sensible about calling names and especially in that raw fashion. Thank you.) feeding from web ads.
...Or may be I'm simply jealous?

I've just found a hidden(for me) feature: inserting some munbers with comma (4,5,8 for example) in columns and rows fields make some irregular type of mullioning. But I simply don't understand the logic of the result. And is there any?

The new one is just perfect

It's a simple ussue. To solve it
1/ add scene
2/ use cameraLines.rb (it connects camera with its target by line)
3/ extrudelne.rb(?) to make prism
4/ and finally section glued to the face.
That's all )

The skin is a pale shadow of the real old good loft though..

The subj

1/ Align view for some specific face.
2/ Create a scene.
3/ Apply script- get black hole sun.
4/ Update scene- darkness stays on (see attachment BEFORE clicking "scene 4")
5/ Closing- reopening- restoring specific scene- everything is OK (click scene 4 tab)

45-3.skp

In this case restoring scene1 repairs everything but very often only tweaking location degree helps. I thought it's a video card issue but it jumps out on different PCs.

Hi TIG!
This is a typical situation after your script. Check it please.45.skp

The same here. The cure is to change location degree a little bit (+-1).But If you'd fix this right state by creating a page it wouldn't remember right shadow position
Stop using this .rb is better solution.
Even more: I guess the shadow stuff is the most stinky part of SU: the pages don't remember shadow position,after export-import pages (exim.rb) your skp file get into twilight zone- no shadows at all,
codec tragedy etc

@Kwist: Read between the lines. If 2 the closest to dev camp guys ~1-3(?) month before v7 say "basically everything is ok- just turn off profiles,SU is meant to be lo-poly modeller"- this is a bad indication. Passover to cinema if hi-poly support is the key stone. What smily to drop here?
P.S. I'd be glad to be wrong though- SU speed outweigh (meanwhile) all it's issues

With pre-drowed lines extrude lines.rb is better choise imho

You have not the drawing of the dashed axis line
And you have a thickness with extrude simple lines And a wall

Pardon, I meant extrude along path .rb (of TIG i beleive).
I'm afraid the wink about dashed line I didn't understand. What do you mean?

Now I understood: it closes wall in a newpoint not at the first one. I'm spoiled with CAD background )
