..But you can benefit from all my replies none the less.

Constantly! thank you for participation 👍

No worries, they instantly get dissolved with the matter mentioned above.

I'm sorry, but I don't resonate with your English.
As I said, the subdivision toggle button is there. It is stable AND it is instant. I don't know what else you mean. You need to be more precise.

Hello,
It's been a while since you posted here, but maybe you'll find my response useful.
Indeed, there is no inset tool designed for non-planar quads.
Here's some workaround:

You can also take a look at Tools On Surface by Fredo. It has a tool called Offset On Surface. It will do half the job, but you'll still have to merge excess vertices manually.

There's a developer working on a bridge from PowerCADD to SketchUp. Why? It's his passion, but also he does ALL the good PowerCADD add-ons and this would just be another arrow in his quiver. It's possible someone would like to make this DWG copy-paste script for themselves and then offer it to others.

I don't find the DWG import that cumbersome. I usually copy out a portion of a drawing to a new file (with only Layer0) clean it up, save it, and import to SketchUp. The clean up step saves time in SketchUp. But I don't need this more than once a week.

Well, at least in SketchUp, hard coded shortcuts override user set shortcuts. Whether it should be that way or not, it's always been that way and probably won't change any time soon. It certainly won't change in SketchUp 2017. which your profile says you are using.

You said "Preferable", not that it was essential. Is this your script? Have you self promoted?

It's preferable because max 2020(21) came with a new skp importer which in some aspects was worse than the old one. However, I just can't predict all PEBCAK scenarios. How often do you use SU\Max combo? It's odd you are not familiar with this error (could be easily googled BTW).
The plugin is it's not mine of course- I'm too dumb for scripting. I'm just extremely appreciated to the author of the tool which solves astronomical quantities of problems.

This can be plugin.

....If I already signed in to forum why do we need an extra authorization?.....

I suppose you are asking about the pluginstore at the website not the pluginstore plugin. In this case the reason is:

The sketchucation site uses PhpBB engine for the forums and Joomla CMS for all the other content including the pluginstore. They are bridged together so when you log in to one of them you're also logged in to the other one as well. A major factor for the performance of the Joomla side is the number of simultaneously logged in people. The more people are logged in at the same time the slower the Joomla part of the site becomes.

This slowdown is especially significant in case of more than about 50 000 simultaneously logged in users. To prevent this from happening we set a 6 hours timeout at the Joomla part of the site. It means that if you weren't active at the Joomla part for 6 hours you'll be automatically logged out from it while still logged in to PhpBB (forums). We'll try to find a solution for this at the new version of the site (under development). Until then when you remain inactive at the Joomla side of the site for more than 6 hours you need to log in again.

I hope the above answers your question.

Hi,

@rv1974: you can also use my ScenesTools plugin here: https://extensions.sketchup.com/fr/content/scenes-tools

In your case use this option: Display > Scenes Tools > Shadows > Copy-paste from current scene to all scenes.
There are many more options for all parameters that make up a scene 😉
Regards,

No thanks, I'll pull them out from v2018 plugin folder. The point is sometimes main rb file comes with a bunch of aux stuff which is hard to catch.

Yes a solution without a special target-component would be nice.
I have to say that all "random" selection plugins strangely seem to have the same conception of "randomness". I always get high amounts of "clumping", that i have to fix manually.

Let's wait a day or two until it gets fine tuned...

rv1974 Like i said, i use them for years (always logitech, i think since ~20 years now), no problems in SU. I have a G700s. The software of the G300s should be basically the same (Logitech Gaming Software). https://youtu.be/vn7D8O7_d50?t=252
You can define any keystroke you want. I use combinations of two or more buttons for the shortcuts in SU to multiply the buttons of the mouse.
