Hi,Sufractal.
In my enviroment,"Steel Column" shown from "North American pflist" no problem.
Check the line include "##" in the csv file, If you edited it.
"##STEEL_COLUMN" is needed.

so, send to me your profile list or upload here it.
and I will look it.

Thanks.

i believe I used the correct text in the file?

That makes sense!

Thanks.

I have what I hope is a simple question. How do I change the color of any beam, column, etc. before placing/drawing it? In the webdialog box, the option default is black. No matter which color I type into the box, the color remains a light blue color.

The color is material.
Beams material is created from "FRONT FACE MATERIAL" and "BACK FACE MATERIAL".
It appears random color when the materialnames in "FRONT FACE MATERIAL" and "BACK FACE MATERIAL" is not existed in sketchup model.

So you may set sketchup templete with the materials.

The three illustration show a yellow background rectangle, 2'wide by 10' tall. Starting at the bottom at the center line closest I can get the 4x13 I beam to vertical is 9/64 off the center vertical line at the top. So right now I can not draw any beams exactly vertical.

Hope this helps.

Ken:

For comparison's sake, I did a similar test and do not seem to have an issue with true verticality. I used the 'column' tool and my column was 12'-0" tall. I noticed that you used the term 'beam' ... are you by any chance using the beam tool to try to draw a vertical line as a column? Is that perhaps the cause?

HI,all.
I update to version 1.1b.
Very Small bugfix.
The error about color name fixed.

Thanks.

Excellent! (White text in black box = clever!) The basic function appears to be working now. I'll jump into the fancier features you've added when I get a chance.

Thanks again tak2hata ... this is a great plugin!

Thanks tak2hata.

(Not sure if this matters, but I generally don't use Safari anyway.)

I just installed your new plugin, but all of the boxes in the dialog window are filled in 'black' and I cannot see the values inside of them?

Thanks.

hi,SUFractal.
I am out now.
So I will test it later.
But I tested this verison in mac os yesterday.It was no problems.

Please tell me you install from "RBZ"? or "ZIP".

Thanks.

I've installed it via both methods, but with no change in result.

I have also kept my original .list.csv files.

Thanks.

Today (all of a sudden) the "steel column" tool stopped working. All of the other tools appear to be working fine. I have not changed any of the scripts or files associated with this plugin for quite a while.

When I click on the steel column icon, a window for selecting member sizes does not appear.

Thanks

This has happen to me also. I found that if you go to the plugin menu and clear defaults it will start working again. At least on my computer that works.

Ken

Genius! Thank you Ken, it worked.
