Attribute Inspector 1.1, an exclusive sketchup plugin

It is a viewer for entity and model attributes. Attributes in SketchUp stand for supplimentary pieces of information which can be preserved with any entity like groups, components, scenes. As for instance, one can preserve a part number, unit price, weight or notes with an entity and read or change that information afterward. All attributes are contained in SketchUp's report feature.

It is a bidirectional communication system among JavaScript and the Ruby environment.

The purpose of this inspector is to retain the user interface small and very organized: Similar to SketchUp's inspector dialogs, it facilitates the users to choose one or more entities and displays their attributes. By editing the text fields, modifications can be done instantly to the entities.

Application: (Menu) Window → Attribute Inspector

The dialog demonstrates the attribute dictionaries of the drawing elements which are chosen currently. Another component can be chosen with the help of SketchUp's selection tool.

Press the +, ‒ buttons on the left side to include or eliminate a attribute dictionary, and press +, ‒ on the right side to include or eliminate an attribute.

To choose other types of entities, select the type from the dropdown and perform the following activities:

Drawing elements: Apply SketchUp's selection tool to choose one or more drawing elements in the model (edges, faces, groups.)

Definitions: Apply SketchUp's selection tool to select components/groups/images

Materials: By applying the materials browser and select a material. Attribute Editor will demonstrate the present material (could be not compatible with OS X because of API bug).

Layers: Apply the layer manager and verify the radio button of the layer.

Scenes: use the scenes manager and double-click the scene (to make it the current scene).

This sketchup plug can be accessed from the extension warehouse.

nz_Corset – The newest sketchup extension in extension warehouse

Natale Zappia has developed nz_Corset, the newest sketchup extension that supports SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018.

The extension can be used to generate corseted forms along with stilettos, vases, dishes, tensile structure and more.

nz_Corset is a development of nz_Surface

With nz_Corset, organic tubular forms are easily created.

This corset comprises of an adaptable waist (about it's axis) and girth.

It produced elaborate corset shapes along with Dishes, Vases and Stiletto shapes.

Bonus Function: OverdriveOverdrive facilitates the users to go beyond the end planes and generate dish - shapes when these shapes need that the end plane are parallel to each other.

You don’t inevitably require millions of faces so three levels of iteration are arranged. When the model is as proportionally perfect and organic, then it is possible to urn the global subdivide to finalise the form. Use nz_Surface to modify the details or cap your end planes.

nz_Surface vertices correlate with those of nz_Corset so it's simpler to marry the form jointly or make good use of the sophisticatedly structured vertices themselve...consequently generating soft edges

nz_Corset can simulated tensile fabrics use 'Natural' or alternatively run 'Manual' mode and customise the structure to suit

Hot Keys
Control:Toggle Textures 'Smooth|Diamond|Crystal|Adaptation|Shell'
Command:Toggle Centroid Placement: Natural(auto)|Manual
Spacebar:Random Variations to surface finished when now using a 'Smooth' texture

Up & Down Keys:Control the four levels of Iteration 1|2|3

AddOrthoScenes (1.0.2) for sketchup 2018

Smustard Team has developed AddOrthoScenes, the newest sketchup extension available in extension warehouse. This sketchup extension is compatible with SketchUp 6, SketchUp 7, SketchUp 8, SketchUp 2013, SketchUp 2014, SketchUp 2015, SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018.

The extension can be used to include scene orthographically by providing x,y,z offsets.

AddOrthoScenes facilitates the users to generate new scenes depending on the existing view by arranging the number of scenes to be produced and the x, y, and z offsets for every new scene. The initial offset is from the existing active view, and in the case of several new scenes arranged, each supplementary offset of the scene is relative to the last scene produced by the plugin.

It is suitable for generating scene-based tutorials or anything else that is required to illustrate a progression of steps. It is also very effective for producing fly-by type animations, where two scenes allocate a camera angle (concerning the global drawing axes) but contain various station points.

The AddOrthoScenes menu item appears in the View menu.

This sketchup extension is available in extension warehouse.( extensions.sketchup.com)

Go through the following video tutorial to gather more information about the plugin.
