Also i've been trying to import .kml and .kmz files with no luck! I get to 75% then get an import failed dialog??
any suggestions?

I already replied to you here - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=358742#p358742
There's no need to double-post 😞

Not bad, I'll have to keep that one in the 'ol toolbox. Would be good for something a little simpler than what I'm doing. Doesn't take transitional areas (road to ditch to field) into consideration and the edges aren't great.

Hi Niels,

As xrok1 and Mitcorb said, there are new powerful tools you can use.
But following your demand:

Version 1.7 _ Version 1.8 _ Version 1.8.1 _ Version 1.9 _ Version 2.0 _ Version 2.1 _ Version 2.2

and the last one:

skin23.zip

😉 simon

Or pure html will do (like in my example).

Flash can be great but should be limited as much as possible to those things that cannot be done otherwise.

hi guys,
Have some fun with this (the window tool that cuts opening and place the window into walls)
This is of course really really early draft...
Just place the win01.rbs file into the Plugins folder.
I have plan to add a lot for options, and types of windows, doors into this 😄

window tool (very early preliminary 1st draft)

Give a try for Firefox 4 Beta... not touched 3.6.x since.

thanks for the tip. i'm trying it out and it seems very fast and stable!!! 😄 only problem is i have to live without my google bookmarks toolbar. 😢 oh well, at least i can view flash content again and no more choppy youtube!

Could have been something out of control of SCF. You never know when dealing with network issues.

Dave, your answer has nothing to do with the question.

Gai, that's never stopped me before. 😄

Thanks. I need to get a new picture of him on a tractor. I think he was three or maybe just four when that picture was taken. He's 6 now.

This would indeed be useful. I use the Extrude Lines by Vector tool to create my own drawing planes all the time to avoid snapping to unwanted points. Since we can't turn off inference, then we need something to shield the drawing tool from snapping to what's beneath the reference plane.

yes! thanks for your tip. i have foxit reader and the firefox plugin and i disabled the acrobat plugin and expected firefox would use foxit to open pdf. 😕 it didn't. 😡
your tip made me relook so i went to tools>options>applications and associated pdf with foxit. now it works 😄 i would have expected that havig foxit plugin and disabling acrobat would have been suficient but NO. 😲

Your very welcome. I'm glad I could contribute here at sketchucation, it has been invaluable to me.

When I have time to spare I like to look at new software as well, and hate running into these kind of dead-ends

yes it seems to be the nature of the beast to keep searching because no software ever seems to work exactly the way we'd want or expect it to. 😆 (some more than others) 😳 But I think that software should at very least operate the way the author wanted and expected, when even that is not acheived reliably its called beta in my books and there's no way anyone should be expected to shell out for it. Should be an embarassment to even ask payment for it!
My opinion & I'm not necessarily pointing fingers, its more of a general statement obout the software industry attitude as a whole. 🤓

screw it! 👿 i just made a shortcut key instead. 😆
would still be nice to know though. 😢
thinking about it one would probably create a module or function with the jitter code (not sure of the correct term) then call the module with an onclick event.

nice mike, i use pano myself.
why don't we turn this into a can't live with my (favorite) iphone app.
feel free to chime in everyone.

Also, let me apologize, (in advance, but definitely "tounge-in-cheek" 😉 ), for the PixPlant thread as well:

I did not mean to imply that PixPlant can only be used with certain renderers. I suspect that the PixPlant images can be used with most modern renderers.

It's a music, video and software store. It's a music visualisation machine. It manages my iPhone data.

Thats what annoys me. I dont want another program that tries to do everything. I want it to play music and put stuff on my ipod (preferably skipping the putting-stuff-on-the-ipod part, but if apple feel it necessary to make the whole lot proprietary so be it.)

I think im still in the 'how wasteful' stage of program appreciation, perhaps with time (and a hefty hard drive hooked up to unlimited internet access and a processor to match) i'll come to appreciate bulky programs that duplicate functionality of all the other bulky programs inhabiting my computer 😒

Nice work. I like the design on that wooden table.

And not part of the plugin at all, but quite interesting, is this little line of code you can enter into the ruby console and it will pop up a :

Sketchup.send_action 10624

thanks chris, i suspected there was more to it, to bad it never got finished. was probably intended to develop into a full fledge animation system??

now if i could figure what any of the stuff in the 'camera control menu' means 😕 it could be useful 😆
