Graphical Relationship script sequencer on Sketchup

Author: Eric C

Description: "WIP graphical relationship script sequencer for Sketchup. Ruby scripts can be placed into containers and these containers can be connected. The graph can then evaluate and create a sequence of these scripts based on what has changed. Simple demo showing graph to sketchup and sketchup to graph callback when entity changed and induce re-evaluation of its related containers in the graph." says Eric C.

SketchUp 8 Maintenance Release Available

The Google SketchUp team has been working a lot... Some of the issues that have been fixed:

"Shadows:

• The shadow bug has been fixed! Previously, when the eye was in shadow, artifacts that look like inverted shadows could show up over all or part of the screen and annoying flickering could show up during animations.
• The “shadow strings” bug. Previously, shadows could show string-like artifacts. There is now a Shadow Strings Fix toolbar which allows you to toggle on and off a fix for this issue.

Here a video showing this important fix:

Antiprism Plugin

Author: TIG

Description: This plugin makes an antiprism. "In geometry, an n-sided antiprism is a polyhedron composed of two parallel copies of some particular n-sided polygon, connected by an alternating band of triangles. Antiprisms are a subclass of the prismatoids." (from wikipedia)

Usage: "Type into Ruby Console:

antiprism number_of_sides, length_of_a_side

e.g. antiprism(3, 1.m)

It is grouped and made centered at the origin.

It is named 'Antiprism[3x1.000]'.

Height is calculated so its side-triangle edges equal its side length."

Description: "BezierSpline draws a variety of Polylines, Bezier and Spline curves, all in 3D. The present release gathers all extensions, including those published recently (Courbette, Catmull, F-Spline, DogBone, T_Bone, Polyline for Animation, etc…).

* All curves are based on a sequence of control points, which is entered by the user in interactive mode.
