@Box I don't understand, I didn't 'quietly edit' anything, I just used the editor to edit my version one I knew what it was. I reinstalled and all working now.

You should try contacting the author to see if he has saved and will share an earlier version of TT_Lib. What happens when SketchUp 8 crashes? Does it give a Bug Splat?

This works in plan... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Rotateplanview

Thank you both, and I now have a working drop.rb - and know how to load my other old scripts.

I have updated the script to 1.1 now with support for older SketchUp and some new features. https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=JS_Random_Move

Hi, for your information the plugin SU2XL works on previous versions of SketchUp (from SU08 till SU2017). You can download it on the Extension Warenhouse: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/su2xl-0 or on the http://www.wisext.com site: http://www.wisext.com (a windows installer is available to install easily the tool).

With such a geometry is also easy to make it tile. You can also export a background black and tiles white and use this as a mask so you can blend with other textures/grunge maps and you can make your material.

The "first" part worked because the "Name:" was changed. The "second" part changed the "Definition Name:" which is apparently what you were looking for. So just ignore the first part. My apologies, I forgot that SU8 doesn't accept multi-line input. But since you have Aerilius' console, you can save the snippet and recall and use it anytime you need it. Be aware that, as written, the code expects the components to not be aligned with or along the "Y" axis. Otherwise, it should always work.

Thanks very much sdmitch but Jim PMed me and sent me a copy. And thanks for the rename tool, I haven't used it yet.

Another way would be the deactivation in the style settings.

Sounds like a permissions issue to me ? The folder containing these assorted files... does it have FULL read/write permissions set up for all users etc in the Properties > Security > Edit dialog ? And of course, also check the equivalent permissions for all of these files too - they should inherit those from the folder's settings, but might not have ?

From a 3d topological perspective though, The yellow pentagons are actually hexagons.

That is an amazing plugin sdmitch - is Face Pairs a plugin you would be willing to make available (or sell)?

Thanks very much sdmitch, I'm not a coder at all, but even failing a programming degree has proven useful, also Notepad++ very helpful for find code bits I can now go and roll this idea across a subdivision and all will look nicely loose and random

In my practice as an architect I have replaced AutoCad completely with Sketchup Pro and Layout years ago. Now my pc is getting an upgrade. This is what I will keep: Storage: Samsung HD 1035SJ ATA Device 1TB SSD-storage: Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256 GB ATA Device Windows 7 Professional New: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Boxed Motherboard: Asus Republic Of Gamers Z97 MAXIMUS VII GENE Video Card: GeForce GTX 980 4GB Memory: Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU (2* 8gb = 16gb) The budget must stay realistic. Thanks a lot for any thoughts or recomendations.
