@unknownuser said: hi there again. where would i find help or a compendium that helps me selfteach how 2 generate a working script?! i thind your could be a great base for what i want! Find the free PDF on the www called Automatic-SketchUp... Also get simple a few scripts [there are hundreds!] and read them in Notepad/Notepad++ to see/learn what they do. Also the learn the API = https://developers.google.com/sketchup/docs/ There are also several excellent resources in the Developers' section of SCF... Learn to use the Search tools...

TIG, still getting problems here. On more complex production files, the routine ends up bogging down hard, prompting the option to abort the script. On "nested" layers geometry is butchered so that solids are not retained, only bringing in line segments. At least named components in layers do work. I am attaching a "simple complex" file that does work as far as finishing the routine, however, on a large scale file, the process bogs down to untenable, and I have yet to sit through a full cycle of the script running... "Simple Complex" base file Broken Nested Layer file

Assuming you have installed the .rb into your Plugins folder [somehow] and restarted SketchUp... Then please reread the tools instruction son the first post in this thread... It is NOT an Extension, just a simple tool. IT only works from the context-menu, and only appears if you have selected two lines that are suitable... I have reprinted the key paragraph below: @unknownuser said: Usage: Select two edges that are not parallel and that could intersect if they don't already share a vertex. Right-click to get the context-menu 'Divide Angle...' Note how this context-menu item is only available if the selection is appropriate. In the dialog enter the number of divisions + OK [default is '2']. It must be a positive integer [2 NOT 2.0]; otherwise you are prompted to retry. Also it must be 2 or more; otherwise there's an error message and it exits. Guide-lines are now drawn through the two selected edges and the division[s] as you have specified. The angle between the edges that is less than 180 degrees is always divided.

Don't forget the free plugin... Gk Postscript Plot which Dave R talks about on his blog...http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/47135/printing-patterns-for-templates

This is a delayed response and slightly off topic (now..;-), but I wanted to clarify my earlier post about the “mutiny” of sorts I suggested with G-SkUp and this forum. My thought was that most of what is really valuable about SkUp comes from the original core code in the very earliest versions of SkUp plus the plug-ins and adjunct programs produced by third party providers. We’ve even tweaked SkUp for our purposes with plugin overlays to this code – thanks to Brad Schell’s farewell gift to his users with V5 updates before the @Last departure -- and we're admitted light-weights compared to some of you guys.... When you think about it, that code sits as a virtual open source and is exactly what Google and Trimble find so valuable -- and paid handsomely for (see Trimble SkUp? Good Enf, < http://insitebuilders.wordpress.com > )

Mucho gracias

I just tested it in SU2019 and it works as expected. Perhaps if you share your model we can give you some help to tell you what the problem is. You could also try it with a very simple shape and see if you get a different result.

hi there, its normal that in su 2024 it does not work with nested geometry? groupds and instances only are supported with one depth step

Is there a similar plugin to force align ALL selected component/groups AND nested subgroups/subcomponents local Y+ axes to world Z+? That would be extremely handy when preparing models for game engines and similar stuff.. I'm searching everywhere with no luck..

Hello TIG, thank you. Can we divide a randomly drawn or trapezoidal surface into a number of equal areas? Thank you.

value your limited time- use profile builder. Thanks for the tip. Profile Builder is very powerful for interior work with moldings. Split Tools should work fine for standalone furniture. For the infrequent curved molding, just has extra hidden lines to tend to.

This tool was combined into SplitTools with other similar ones... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_splitTOOLS

I believe it's back edges... [image: 91yx_BackEdges.png] If it's always on, turn it off, update your current style and save an empty model as template under File... Use this template as your default (if you do not like this new feature).

BUMP

She's very easily entertained isn't she? At least a kitten would try to hit the arrow with her paw.

No Bugsplats at all.

The link in the very first thread in this topic contains the working url to download the zip file containing the txt font's ttf file. https://community.sketchucation.com/uploads/imported_attachments/pdqA_txt_____.zip I just used it. I can't see what your issue might be...
