Ain't easy for us 'weegies either.

Ah, the old Unicode issue with Ruby. I'm filing an issue in the STL project to provide a message when this occurs. Thanks.

I use Windows 7 64bit. It's working fine.

I'm guessing it's either not installed correctly or might not be using the latest version.

Have you ensured you have the latest version? How did you install it?

If you open the Ruby Console (Under Windows > Ruby Console) do you see any errors when you try to use the plugin?

Using the plugin I linked to it imported fine without any problems.

Are you using that plugin, or some other variant?

tt_su

Didn't try. Then you'd have to hook into the windows messages. yuck

You mean take a surface mapped with a texture and generate new mesh - like a displacement map would?

tt_su

"Outline"?

If you cannot make it work with this STL plugin (http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/sketchup-stl), can you please post the STL file for inspection?

If some edges doesn't erase then it would be either because the connected faces isn't 100% coplanar, or the edge has more than two faces connected.

Ah! Now that's annoying.

You could use a timer to defer the event, so that you don't perform actions too quick and merge quick successive view update into one event.

You can use the ToolsObserver to detect when the Orbit tool isn't active any more - that would assume the user is using the middle mouse button. To catch when the Orbit tool has explicitly activated the tool you can check if the state changes.

Indeed, I never found a way to do the same for OSX.

Lets try to ping this thread so it gets attention and catch more people.

Support for LibFredo's update checker has been removed. Install using the Extension Warehouse or the SCF Plugin Store to maintain a list of updates. They will also let you install updates, not just check.

You might have ended up with files in VirtualStore. If you open your Plugins folder, is there a button that says "Compatibility Files' or something similar (in whatever language your OS is)?

I'm sorry, but what was the question?

tt_su

If your code looked like this:

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body onLoad="nextFrame()">

  </body>
</html>

Change it to this:

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>

  <script>
    nextFrame();
  </script>
  </body>
</html>

That will prevent the initial white dialog under OSX.

On a sidenote, I always recommend jQuery or similar frameworks. They take care of most cross compatibility issues - even in this case because jQuery.ready() event uses the DOM ready event which doesn't cause any white out.

To refresh your memories and enable you to recognize Bryce at Dev Camp when you get there - because you will be there! - here's how he looks like:

See you all in Lisbon!

Side note - Ruby is very slow. You'll find using the SketchUp API's .distance method much faster than doing your own length calculation. At least if you do this for a somewhat large set of entities.

Oh? Now that sounds mighty interesting.
