    • Can't save layout file

    • POINT AT CENTER

      I am trying to find the point at center of a circle in sketchup 2013 -
      I've tried right clicking on the edge of the circle and there is no point at center option like there was in v 8
      I went to extensions-
      looked for utilities (as someone suggested in an earlier post) - nothing there -

      can't seem to find utilities in the Help menu

      suggestions for what may not be on in my version of 2013 - where I can find the extension and how to turn it on?

      thanks

    • Complex curve ramp

      I am trying to make a complex curve ramp

      I'm posting the file - I know the curve I want - and the heights I'd like the beginning step to be plus 7" and the end height of the ramp to be 2'4" - but cannot figure out how to describe the ramp.

      Any thoughts?

      going nuts

      thanks

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      got it working thanks - but it hasn't solved my problem like I thought it would

      I'm trying to create a curved ramp and cannot solve the complex curve

      I'm uploading the file - with the desired curve - and the desired ramp
      I'm thinking there's a drape tool?
      or??

      thanks

      (macos su8)

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      when I unzip the file - I get a folder
      clf_shape_bender_v055
      inside the folder is another folder w/ clf_shape_bender and the ruby script clf_shape_bender_loader.rb
      I took the ruby out of the folder and placed it in my plugins folder
      HD-library-applications support-google8-SU-plugins
      then shape bender showed up in my extensions - checked-

      but nowhere in my toolbar -

      when I put the rb back in the folder it came in then the extension went away-

      thanks - Victoria

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      Hi TIG - sorry missed your first post-

      I installed both shape bender and progressbar manually
      library - applications support - sketchup 8 - plugins

      but I think I might have moved the shape bender rb out of the folder it came in - when it first wasn't showing up -

      maybe that's the problem- just moved back in and I'll restart and see if that helps?

      I'm on MAC OS 10.7.5 and running SU 8

      or do I need to uninstall and re-install?

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      Help-

      I've downloaded and installed both progressbar.rb and shape bender - progressbar is in my plug-in folder and shape bender shows up as checked in my extensions -
      but I cannot find it in my toolbar anywhere
      what am I doing wrong-
      what am I not activating?

      thanks

    • RE: [Plugin] Shape Bender Beta

      Hi -
      I've downloaded and installed both shape bender and progressbar.rb

      I can see shape bender checked in my extensions folder - so it should be active
      I can also see progressbar.rb in my plugins folder - although can't find it anywhere on screen - but assume it is there (is there a way to check that?)

      but I cannot find shape bender (or Chris Fullmer's tools) anywhere in my toolbar

      any suggestions on how to activate/use?

      thanks

    • RE: Exporting to DWG in Layout

      Thanks - Dave - that is great info- once the files are vectors - do I still have access to make changes through my sketchup file (are my changes updated in my layout file??
