#FUR PLUGIN SKETCHUP FREE DOWNLOAD CODE#
Version 1.0 has been updated to 1.4 and is available on the code page. By creating three ordered lines (the first from the origin to plus X, the second from the origin to plus Y, and the third from the origin to plus Z) and putting them into a special Spirix group called SPIRIX_AXES, all transformations will subsequently be performed using the specified location and orientation as defined by this group. Version 1.4 adds the ability to create a named group of lines to act as a relocatable frame of reference. Up until now, you were restricted to using the model's absolute origin and axes and were forced to locate the generating curves accordingly. My initial goal was to provide a way that allowed you to specify an arbitrary location and orientation to use as the frame of reference for creating new surfaces.
#FUR PLUGIN SKETCHUP FREE DOWNLOAD UPDATE#
Update - Version 1.4 - Relocatable Frame of Reference As of version 2.0, Spirix will now work with any choice of units (i.e., inches, meters, millimeters, etc.). Prior to this release, the plugin only worked correctly when modeling in decimal inches. Update - Version 2.0 - Measurement Units Compatibility * RBZ file also available as spirix.rbz (a standard zipfile) NOTE: Where applicable, all operations use the Right-Hand Rule. The Create Pattern function can also be used to create sequentially numbered copies of groups using the Spirix transformations. Create Group is used to create optional named groups that can subsequently be used as input to the Create Surface and Create Pattern modules. Launch SketchUp and you should find a new option called Spirix under the Plugins (or Extensions) menu that displays three sub-menus labeled Create Surface, Create Group, and Create Pattern.
