Well done Sir! Very useful Ruby indeed! Thank you for the updates and additional feature programming. Cheers! Miner_jeff

Thanks Dan, I'll go check that out.

Steve, I'll make some examples to show you what I'm after. Your idea of scaling the output dimensions for specific "faourites" could be workable.

@trogluddite said: I wonder if that could be useful too for your sky system - allowing a folder of styles with indexed names to be installed alongside your plugin, so that all the necessary visual settings are automatically available. AFAIK, this is something that can't be done with scenes, as they are specific to a particular model. Hi, This defenetly sound like a very usefull feature! Not sure if having multiple styles preloaded on to pages is less eficiant in maneging memmory & cpu than loading styles from external file. I say this because there is a point when you are creating animations were lag start to become an issue and if your proposed way of loading styles is better then I am all for it. Another thing that I will like to know is if loading styles the way you propose can have a transition time of 5 sec for example to blend from one to another like you do with pages? Cheers

Thanks Ogan, That looks like just the thing. Lots of other tools in there that look rather useful for making my designs a little more 'voluptuous', too. the Luddite.

@trogluddite said: ... I don't want to disable SU's internet access completely, as the warehouse is indeed very useful (brilliant examples to learn from), I just want to be able to search only my local HDD collections, or at least have them appear first in the search results. Anyone know if this is possible? I think you will find or have found that people here are more interested in making models for presentations rather than facilitating their use in work involving getting and assembling components and related data. I am one of the few interested in the latter. It seems you can alter the component browsers content by changing file preferences [image: YyKE_SUprefs.png], but it also seems you need to also use this [image: p8EZ_collection.png] from the browser itself. Saved as a template all new skps will access this set of components first ... I think. What I want to do is collect components from specialist sources like yours if it made commercial sense via the Web. If you or anyone else has ideas for that I'm all ears! Keep on trogging! PS just tried with a file link in localhost (website on local machine). With Chrome set to always open this type of file, it will automatically launch Sketchup and open the component - well it's a start!
