trial has 60min play time. looks like SU, so why someone would pay for it (beside if you want to look in anaglyph mode) ?
and btw, it is a standalone application, not a plugin (it loads .skp file via SketchUpReader.dll )

kwistenbiebel: to change to metric for each new model as inches is set by default

you know that you can save the template in metric and you can have a menu item with this line for those "pesky" models

Sketchup.active_model.options["UnitsOptions"]["LengthUnit"]=4

excellent. thanks for putting the work in progress images as well.

a modification of Randor can be made so that the size variables can be changed by the user. if you can't wait change in the line the 8 and 7 to bigger values

size = (8+rand(7)).to_f/10

Sketchup.active_model.selection.each do |ent|
 ent.material = "Material1" if ent.respond_to? ;material
end

1. always verify if the receiver supports that (respond_to? :symbol)
2. dont use [0], [1], ... on a selection - sometime you receive a face, sometime an edge, sometime nil
3. you can do the same for back_material

Coen: it is the correct link. a video should start on the right.

only after Podium 2 release. maybe till then Holomatix will work on my system as well to see something out of those .mi files

Pixero: tried Holomatix Renditioner but it doesn't like my computer and freezes
... so priority dropped like a rock on this

took a quick look on the .mi format - it is not hard to make an exporter, you just need to have time for testing.

1. depends on the format
2. not me
3. you cannot make an estimate if you don't know the format

can I take a peek on the .mi format ?
(LE: it is this description ?)

you cannot subclass a SU object, you can just create another group and add entities to it.

what do you want exactly to do ? maybe there is another solution to your problem

btw, did you increased time_limit from AlexMozg example first ? to like 5 ?

welcome to thread synchronization fun - as you can see Morisdov.transf_get uses start_timer
so you need to sync with that (e.g. add global variable in transf_get end for example)

yup. my bad. I checked only visual and didnt do any time checks.

seems that it ignores decimals (0.1...0.9 = 0, 1.1 ... 1.9 = 1) - so we need to use that. for interface like clear selection doesnt matter that much anyway

of course, ==> means what it should return and you must not type that

Mac issue ? on PC works even with 0.1

is me, or it is even faster ?

UI.start_timer(1, false) { Sketchup.active_model.selection.clear}

hate hip buzzwords : cloud = servers that do the work.

I wonder if a Ruby could be written to add an Update Thumbnail entry to the flyout menu in the components browser

not possible

also check Window | Model Info | File | Redefine thumbnail on save
(if checked the thumbnail is updated on save based on current view)
