Ruby Tutorial, Learn Ruby for Beginners. 10 STEPS to Learn Ruby Programming — the fast & easy way! “Now I understand what the code is actually doing.” “The instructor takes the time to explain the process and reasoning behind bits of code, providing a way for the students to comprehend what we are learning, we’re not just going through the motions. Proper coding technique is encouraged throughout the lessons. The breaking down and explanation of methods and definitions during the debugging stage was a huge help in actually learning and understanding what the code was doing.” — Tyler Cutler How would YOU handle a programming crisis like this? The phone rings. Ruby to the rescue If you’ve been around the block a few times, you’ll likely choose Ruby as your programming language-of-choice. Ruby is an incredibly powerful and highly scalable object-oriented language for programming web applications.

Leading technology companies, startups, and big names like The New York Times, IBM, NASA, and many, many more use Ruby. What is Ruby? Chapter 4 – Using Plugins Effectively | SketchUp for Design. Sketchfab | Publish interactive 3D content online. Sketchfab Uploader Plugin for SketchUp – by [as]

Upload your SketchUp models to the 3D (WebGL) viewing and sharing website Sketchfab Description I have been looking quite a while now for a way to share interactive 3D content from SketchUp on the web in a way that doesn’t require installing a browser plugin. While there were some Javascript- and Flash-based solutions, none of those appeared to be easy to work with. Other approaches, such as VRML (which was an export option in SketchUp Pro) always required the user to install a plugin. (for some colorful eye candy, try this one) This is where Sketchfab comes in. The plugin that you can download and install from this page adds a menu item “Upload to Sketchfab” to the File menu in SketchUp. After uploading your model, you can edit parameters and materials, grab a thumbnail or adjust the default view on the Sketchfab website.

Downloads You can now find this plugin in Trimble’s Extension Warehouse. You can also find this plugin on GitHub. Screenshots and Videos Uploader Dialog Issues.

On a PC that's Scale + Ctrl, and for a Mac, Scale + Cmd.

When Scale is selected, a tool tip about this modifier shows up in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Using Scale about Center allows symmetry to be maintained while adjusting a cylindrical model. And don't miss using Scale with the Cardinal Points. Twisted Scaling about Center All the pictured twisty things above are made the same way - by scaling one or more helices wrapped around a cylinder.

Those helices are welded polylines, acting as a single, multi-segmented Entity. Tips: When choosing some initial helix values with the plugin, enter a negative value(s) in the helix plugin dialog box to reverse helical twist. "Twitching ears" It is not particularly important to get all the geometry in the right place when initially blocking out the model.

[plugin] Clip or Trim Terrain Mesh (Update) Sam,re: 'Clip or Trim' on MAC, I just went over it all again and on the mac using if key ==16 || 131072#shift PC || MAC,makes it work as I believe you intended. [ is it?] To start in 'Trim' mode: 'grab' grid/s >> select the 'Clip or Trim' from plugins >> press shift key once to activate 'Trim' >> click on 'Terrain' to 'Trim' grid/s in turn.

To start in 'Clip' mode: 'grab' grid/s >> select the 'Clip or Trim' from plugins >>click on 'Terrain' to 'Clip' grid/s in turn. To switch between modes from either mode, press shift key once >> click on next 'Terrain' To exit 'Clip or Trim' click outside of all 'Terrain' groups. This is how it work with that change, I edited my above posts avoid to blind copying of my erroneous prior comments. I believe this tweak is cross platform, due to the none applicable keycode being ignored, but I don't have a PC easily at hand. john learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...
