Selector

jim — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:48:38 +0000

Opens a dialog to select entities by type (edge, face, group, or instance.) This is a very basic tool (toy?), but could be expanded to include multiple criteria (such as selecting by Layer or material.)

Sphere Tool

jim — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 18:51:06 +0000

This script adds a Sphere option to SketchUp's Draw menu.

Please visit my blog fro the latest version of all my plugins.

Add Hidden Layer

jim — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 06:16:35 +0000

Adds a new Layer that is turned off by default - not only for existing pages (or scenes), but for any new pages (or scenes.) Should work with SketchUp versions 5 or 6.

Ruby Newbie

dvmorris — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 05:09:43 +0000

Hello everyone,

I am brand new to Ruby Scripting in SketchUp and Ruby scripting in general, but I managed to throw together a script after an hour or so of searching through the mysterious Sketchup Ruby Scripting API documentation. Anyways, all the things I really want the API to do don't seem to be possible.

triangulate

dvmorris — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 05:04:21 +0000

This script takes all currently selected faces, and triangulates them by adding a vertex at the centroid of each face and connecting all vertices of that face to it. It's a really simple method of triangulation, and there is an optional parameter called 'all' that if set to true, will triangulate every selected face, including faces which are already triangles.

ApplyTo

Admin — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 15:00:17 +0000

Apply a component definition to selected component instances.

Drop

Admin — Fri, 04 May 2007 07:24:42 +0000

Great script that allows you to instantly align objects to the surface below. A common example would be scattering people / trees / entourage around a sloping site. With this script, just select your objects, click drop and they instantly fall to the surface below. Easy as can be!

New From Template

jim — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 01:06:04 +0000

This script lets you select a template and start a new model in one step.

Arc Centerpoint

jim — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 05:13:44 +0000

Right-click an arc or circle to insert its centerpoint into the model.

Save As Template

jim — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 07:11:28 +0000

Opens the Save dialog to simplify saving the current model in the Templates directory.

Probably won't work on a Mac as I don't have access to one to test it.

Obj Importer

jim — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 16:39:17 +0000

This script imports .obj files directly into SketchUp. It works well on some files, fails on others. The Pro version can already do this.

Export CI ID

jim — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:46:08 +0000

Exports a SketchUp model's Group and Component hierarchy. Click for screenshots.

SkIndigo

Features:

Put On Current Layer

Christopher Grant — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 06:55:52 +0000

Allows you to easily move entities and their nested elements (ie groups within components within groups) to the current layer

Put On Layer

Christopher Grant — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 06:59:51 +0000

Allows you to easily move entities and their nested elements (ie groups within components within groups) to any layer. You just right click on an entity you want to move. You'll see a "Put on Layer: " submenu. The first entry is "Current" then all other layers in the file are listed underneath for quickly moving entities / groups / components to different layers.

Grow

Admin — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 16:28:24 +0000

It takes a selection and copies it in XYZ a desired number of times, applying spacing, rotation and scaling. It makes some weird 'growths', but I can also see its use in making helical steps etc...

Usage : Move/Place Objects, Select them and pick Grow.
Pick Point, Enter desired data in dialogs and see results. Undo is 1 go.
