Re: [Plugin] (TIG) Rotate Plan View v1.1 20110316

Hi TIG,

This plugin of yours was a gem!
Unfortunately it doesn't work with sketchup 2024.... Any update soon?
Thank you.

I actually tried it in Sketchup 2019.2
Nothing was happening at the beginning until I edit the SOURCE & TARGET "instance names" (not definition). It worked like a charm and It will make me save LOTS of time. You guys are champs!

Tip: you can select all your source components in one go and enter their instance name in one time.
Hope that helps anyone who got stuck:)

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your reply.
Just found I had a rbs version (see below):
Any easy way to fix?

require 'sketchup.rb'
require 'extensions.rb'

extension = SketchupExtension.new 'Loxodrome', 'rp_loxodrome/loxodrome.rbs'
extension.description = 'Create a Loxodrome component based on parameters entered in a dialog. ' +
'The menu item is Draw -> Spherical Helix (Loxodrome).'
extension.version = '1.1'
extension.creator = 'Regular Polygon'
extension.copyright = "Regular Polygon #{Time.now.year}"
Sketchup.register_extension extension, true # show on 1st install

Hi There,

While trying to load the loxodrome plugin in skp pro 2017 I have this message:

Error Loading File rp_loxodrome.rb
Error: #<SyntaxError: C:/Users/Slim/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/rp_loxodrome.rb:19: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)

Any help to sort out the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi There,

We do have 6 X Sketchup licences in the office and every time a new skp version is installed I do have to implement every computer with the same workspace which is a very annoying and time consuming task.

As I'm the one who masters SKP the best I tend to implement the same workspace on every computer so I can teach my employees how to use the various tools and extension I tried first on my own before deploying them.

Deployment is a critical issue in an office and I'm struggling to find out where this information is stored so I can easily replicate it.

Help appreciated.
Thank you.
Slim

Hi there,

Everything was working very well... Until yesterday when I played with the settings.
After that the RichSection wouldn't cut through, just show the section line.
I even loose the ability to activate the original Sketchup section tool and had to restart Sketchup.
Any idea what's wrong ?

Using sketchup 2015, windows7 ultimate 64.
Thank you

Hi There,

The measuring tool is definitely a must have.
Clients are always after numbers after all
