Re: Sketchup Vertex Tool Full Version Download
Jemima Torguson
With vertex tools, start with nothing selected, activate Vertex Tools and use it to select just one blue dot. You may have to turn on Ignore back faces from the right click context menu, and/or Select only Visible, depending on your model.
Hello!
I have the same problem with vertex tool. When i want to move a line or face it funcionates but when i want to select a vertices and move it it doesnt work. I checked for the soft selection and it had been 0 all the time. When I first donwloaded it I had no problem with this. I would appreciate very much if u help me solve this problem.

so , is there a toggle for the color coding on soft selection? I can edit single vertices, or grouped ones by changing the selection type but I am not seeing the color coding when I have the soft selection tool activated by typing the soft selection radius in the VBC window.

It is an online resource with various plug-ins developed made especially for SketchUp and these extensions help to add some special tools and features to SketchUp. These extensions can be found for any particular application like drawing or 3D printing and some industry specified tools for architecture, interior design, construction and many more. So basically in this Extension Warehouse people can do the following things:
Thomas Tomassen is actually known as Thom Thom, he is a modelmaker with a large desire for physical, digital and traditional design in most kinds of the trade. He is also focused on webdesign or programming and 3D visualizations but he is specialist in 3D modeling, SketchUp, Webdesign, graphic design and web programming.
This extension can take control over each vertex editor for SketchUp; its soft sections are a must needed thing for organic modeling and the manipulator gizmo will allow users to take great control while modeling. On the Vertex tolls website, users will find a list of all features along with a comprehensive manual and videos. This vertex tools can be tried for 30 days with proper registration where after the trail period, users have to buy a license to continue the use of it by paying $20.
But recently Thom Thom has updated the Vertex Tools and made a fully functional Trial version that anyone can test for 30 days. But if anyone get hooked and is a Premium Member at SketchUcation, will be enough to get lucky to have a 20% discount in the SketchUcation shop. The Trial Version of Vertex Tools is now can be found form the SketchUcation Plugin Store or the Extension Warehouse.
The read_default method is used to retrieve the string associated with a value within the specified sub-section section of a .INI file or registry (within the Software > SketchUp > SketchUp [Version] section).
The write_default method is used to set the string associated with a variable within the specified sub-section of a .plist file on the Mac or the registry on Windows (within the Software > SketchUp > SketchUp [Version] section).
The active_model method returns the currently active SketchUp model. On the PC, this is the only model that one can have access to via the API, but Macintosh versions of SketchUp can have multiple models open at once, in which case the method will return the model that the user currently has focused.
The break_edges= method can be used to disable or enable the break edges feature. Break edges is the SketchUp 7 feature that automatically splits edges that the user draws which cross over one another.
This feature is always on by default and cannot be disabled by the user via the user interface, but you can call this method to disable it. Be cautious in doing so, however, as the resulting model could then be altered when the user later draws lines into it with the break edges feature reactivated.
The break_edges? method indicates whether the break edges feature is currently turned on. Break edges is the SketchUp 7 feature that automatically splits edges that the user draws which cross over one another. This feature is always on by default and cannot be disabled by the user via the user interface.
Changing this value within your extension can cause problems for other extension developers who rely on the debug information for their own work. Only use this locally; never change this value in an extension you publish.
The debug_mode= method lets you controls whether SketchUp will output warnings to the console when it detects incorrect usage of the API. The setting takes effect right away, no need to restart SketchUp.
Installs the contents of a ZIP archive file into SketchUp's Plugins folder. If the ZIP contains subfolders, these will be preserved. This allows for a Ruby API plugin or Extension developer to distribute their plugin as a single file regardless of how many asset files must be included.
The user will be shown a warning message that they must agree to before the install proceeds. If they do not agree, an Interrupt error will be raised. If the user does agree but there is a problem with the unzip process, an Exception will be raised. You can capture these states via a begin/rescue. See the example below.
To create an archive file, use your favorite tool (7zip, Winzip, etc.) to zip up any files and folders in your plugins directory. If the archive contains a SketchupExtension that you would like users to be able to install from the Preferences > Extensions panel, rename your file to have a .rbz file extension.
Whether to warn the user not to install untrusted extensions. In certain cases the warning can be confusing and redundant, e.g. when automatically updating a trusted extension. When the user has selected the archive themselves, it is best to warn about the possible risks.
Starting with SketchUp 2021.0 SketchUp attempts to load newer SketchUp models. If a newer model is loaded some information might have been skipped and extensions should be careful to not save over the file they loaded from as information might be lost.
The plugins_disabled= method lets you control whether SketchUp will load Ruby scripts from the plugins directory at startup time. This is primarily a trouble-shooting method. If you are having strange behavior in SketchUp that you suspect is from a bad script, you can type Sketchup.plugins_disabled=true into the Ruby console and restart SketchUp to see if the problem is fixed.
The quit method is used to terminate the application. This will pop-up the usual model save prompts if there are unsaved models open. User can cancel the model save, in which case the application will not terminate.
You do not need to include the file extension on the path. This method will look for .rbe first (encrypted) and then .rbs (the deprecated scrambled format) and finally .rb (unencrypted) files. The loading order was changed in SketchUp 2016 when the new .rbe encryption was introduced. Prior to SketchUp 2016 the loading order was first .rb then .rbs.
In SketchUp 2024.0 and later this method doesn't behave correctly in all cases on Windows. The passed values are internally converted to logical pixels, rounded and converted back to physical pixels. This means certain sizes, such as 1000 px at 150% scaling, cannot be accurately set.
The resize_viewport method changes the pixel size of the viewport and SketchUp window. This can be useful for producing a consistent behavior in automatic testing, regardless of the display resolution.
The temp_dir method is used to retrieve the OS temporary directory for the current user. You can use this directory to write temporary files that are not required to persist between SketchUp sessions.
As a relatively long term Sketchup user I can't work without the line tool and the Knife tool in Blender doesn't show distance and it doesn't snap by length like the Sk-u line tool, so it's really hard to work with it.
Basically here's what I want to do, to draw a small line 20cm from ,,point Q" (random name I thought of) and then to draw a line towards the other side of the box to the point that is also 20 cm from it's version of "point Q", hopefully without using subdivision and loop tool, which both create a lot of unnecessary things and are both unprecise for what I need.
I was advised previosly to use the snap utilities addon, but I only want to use either Blender's own stuff or at least a freely available addon (snap utilities is 17 usd), I am a 21 year old from east europe, so I neither have (or need) a credit card, nor a paypal and I'm not in the mood to get those 2 just for a small snapping addon, I'd probably end up paying a lot more for the credit card itself..., so if there is anything free, it would be much appreciated.
To figure out the value, here is an example, based on your image.* You appear to be adding the edge to a top face. This means that you want to set the median y value entry.* take the y value of point q and subtract 20cm from it.* enter the result.
First, It took me a while to find the official documentation located at -app/latest/help/editing/introduction-to-editing-topology.htm Even then the documentation weighted editing edges instead of vertices.
Third, When I opened "select an edge" I noticed that the vertices were in purple so I figured I had the correct tool! However, when I tried to move the purple vertex nothing happened which reinforced my confusion. I was not able to move the vertex in a topology until after I double clicked on the vertex.
