So, as promised I've made a donation to the cause. Wish it were more but budget dictates. <br /><br />Again, can't say how much this plugin makes Sketchup usable. Without it I sincerely couldn't recommend Sketchup for anyone less than serious engineering/ architecture types who have to suffer. And quite honestly there are some damn good alternatives even then. So, truly, Sketchup should be paying you. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />KWLKWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225088552891975106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-23328460503735007852011-01-23T19:47:44.226-05:002011-01-23T19:47:44.226-05:00Jim,

The directory is correct with mover2.rb at the root, a mover2 directory with the 4 files and images directory as noted in the image. When I opened Sketchup however, there was no Plugins menu item at all! <br />Any thoughts on debugging loading of rb scripts or the initialization process? If the ruby console would kick out some messaging I could possibly run this down. <br />Thanks,<br />KWLKWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225088552891975106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-49542657228896696242011-01-23T12:33:30.743-05:002011-01-23T12:33:30.743-05:00Jim,

Deleted the existing mover2 directory in Plugins. Unzipped the file and confirmed the structure file by file as per your image of the directory. All look's great. I then open Sketchup....<br />But, no joy. Mover2 still doesn't show up in the Plugins menu. Also, loading it via the "load a single plugin" no longer works. <br /><br />Is there a way to debug the loading? A way to debug the initialization? I opened the Ruby console but no messages there. <br /><br />I'm going to copy my existing Plugins off as a backup and delete everything in the original and try again, see what happens I'll let you know. <br />Thanks,<br />KWLKWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225088552891975106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-37715939960557355122011-01-14T09:56:24.334-05:002011-01-14T09:56:24.334-05:00@KWL - I've added an image showing the folder ...@KWL - I've added an image showing the folder layout for mover2.

Thanks for your reply, very glad to see the ...Jim, <br />Thanks for your reply, very glad to see the continuing work on this fundamentally important addition. <br /><br />Also, a note to correct my previous post. The menu item Mover2 disappeared from the Plugins menu again after I restarted Sketchup. <br /><br />Then I remembered that at a late point in trying to figure out why it wasn't showing I had used the "PlugIn" loader: <br />Plugin/Ruby Resources (as_pluginloader.rb)<br />v.1.1 (3/18/2009)<br />by Alexander Schreyer (www.alexschreyer.net) <br /><br />Using it's "Load a single plugin" function I point to Mover2.rb and it then shows up on the menu. <br /><br />There doesn't seem to be any loss of functionality though, as mentioned previously, there are times when it just doesn't seem to work at all. Though by changing the orientation of the 3d object, or selecting it again, or making sure the selection isn't based from the Move function, I can usually get it to provide the nudging I need to get my objects very clean, which is a joy not provided otherwise. <br /><br />I'm going to download and try your latest release and if it works well I'm going to donate some cash to the effort. <br /><br />Keep up the Good Work!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />KWLKWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225088552891975106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-12638093802051495602011-01-11T22:55:21.420-05:002011-01-11T22:55:21.420-05:00@KWL - Great!

I don't think it's a bad tool but it's not for anyone who's not doing serious engineering drawing and I need a good sketch tool, not a junior MasterCAD. <br /><br />There are a couple of oddities while working with Mover2 but when it's working it is a *major* completion of Sketchup. <br />Thanks very much,<br />KWLKWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225088552891975106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-14458942678313481562011-01-09T15:48:01.683-05:002011-01-09T15:48:01.683-05:00Jim,

Then i close it and immediately open it via the plugin menu and then [for a while] it's there/OK.<br /><br />This happens consistently and anytime i change my selection / another group or such. Maybe sometimes it will still work when i "return" to a item/group, but mostly it is a reload EVERY time.<br /><br />Hope you can fix this wonderful app. I agree on adding the preset 45/90/180 buttons.<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-88980743114768446212009-05-27T00:14:26.228-04:002009-05-27T00:14:26.228-04:00Thank you very much for this great plugin.

I was using v1 on mac but have had some crashes.<br />v2 is working fine for the moment, just some cosmetics bugs:<br />- Icons are rounded instead of square and their border looks a little cutted. They seems to be enveloped on an invisible square space.<br />- The window weight is not "fixed" but free sized and when activated the last icon row is cutted too.<br />- Your menu is not in front of sketchup interface, it will go under the main window anytime you make something so it will open a new menu on each calling. I think this will probably cause some of the crashes you were reporting.<br /><br />Now two petitions:<br />- The previous preassigned buttons of your v1 to rotate were a good idea in my opinion. Could you please restore 2 buttons to rotate 90 an 45 degrees?<br />- If possible would be great the option to rotate any group by its relative center point on x y z. I mean to use the center of the figure in any axe as the origin for rotation instead of the assigned by the user manually.<br /><br />Well, that's all for the moment. Sorry for my english and thank you again for your great work. If you need a screen capture on the mac side to compare the aspect of the menu let me know here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-31446367208160258162008-10-13T17:53:00.000-04:002008-10-13T17:53:00.000-04:00Alex, holding the Ctrl key while pressing the drop...Alex, holding the Ctrl key while pressing the drop button will drop to a surface.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600574635646167378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-68761027062185631052008-10-13T14:30:00.000-04:002008-10-13T14:30:00.000-04:00Maybe you can improve this by make colisions (drop...Maybe you can improve this by make colisions (drop) not only on Z axis, but maybe X and Y.
