    Awesome work,
    The cut paths look much shorter!
    Thanks!

    Very well done guys !

    Just started using Phlatscript, I knew about it for some years, but now it supports all the stuff that I want to do. And it can do so in metric units !
    It's just so easy with the instruction video's...
    Great stuff ! Keep it up !

    I was trying to teach myself ruby script to generate gcoge from sketchup till a friend clued me onto this site. Your plugin does everything I could possibly want and more, thank you so very much.

    The new overhead gantry check box is a real time saver. So much less brain power required to go from one machine to another.

    I've already posted a 'thank you' to everyone involved with the Phlatscript earlier in this thread, but i'd like to show my appreciation once again. In particular i'd like to give a big thank you to Kwok (Kyyu) for all his hard work and especially the plugins that he's developed over the past months which make the whole SU->PS->Gcode workflow much less time consuming than it used to be. Thank you Kwok, keep up the good work!

    Si.

    Again, while it's up, I too am grateful for the additions to the code in more than just a user of the software. It has inspired me to get back into code work again after 30 years . It was fun and rewarding then and frustrating and rewarding now ((-//__syntax is killing me__ :? ...-/)). Yet a necessary endeavor if I plan to travel my chosen path. Thank you kwok.

    Thanks guys! It's nice to be appreciated. To tell you the truth, I never saw the light as far as programming, until I found sketchup. The fact that the result is so useful. And you need very minimum of resources to do it. Maybe I am lazy, too; and I hate doing repetitive task. Or I like things done my way. ;)

    Thanks for the script. I admit I'm not a phlat-ite, but was seeking a general purpose Sketchup to g-code tool. Yours is so close that I may have to use to as a base. I need just a couple more features: control of the depth of cut - not just all the thru; and a change of the Z axis origin to be at the top of the cutting surface.

    Well done.

    Bob

    Hey, woodworkerbob, we are phlatheads and not phlat-ites. :D :D
    The control of the z-axis to make contours is not there yet. We hope it will be in the future, for full scale 3d cutting but for strait lines we have a controlled depth setting in the fold-tool and the centerline-tool.
    The z-axis origin is on the top if you use an overhead gantry. The only thing you might want to do is use the ruby script that Kwok wrote (he will chime in with a link to it) that will change the cutting direction.

    BTW, welcome to our part of the phantasy world.

    The overhead gantry option is in the latest version of the phlatscript. That just changes the direction of cut. I assume the Z axis direction is simply changed in the control software. Not sure how it is set up. But the Phlatprinter 3 is overhead and running with gcode, generated by the phlatscript.

    Another big Thank you for all the great work on this code. :dance3:

    I just had a great surreal experience involving working on a dust shoe project while chatting with with a friend about a totally different subject. He doesn't mind and I do it all the time because I can I guess :questions: Maybe he's hoping I'll slip and give him a better than average deal, who knows.

    I describe what I needed to make in brief and start to work while we talk business. After about 40 minutes I'm laying out the parts in my work area and setting up the gcode. A few clicks later I pull up the gcode viewer and zoom in to check the paths. He stopped mid sentence in total disbelieve. 'You just did a full tool path for twenty parts in a couple minutes after a full 3D build didn't you?' he said. Yep, and it's open source I said.

    He then told me about his past company and how it took weeks sometimes to do that. Our deal was done and I got my price because he wants lessons and I want part of his collection :D Attached files [​IMG]

    hi fellas, been using sketchucam for about maybe a year now? can't remember

    anyway, out of curiosity, is 0.924 the latest version? not to be rude or anything because it does save me from having to learn cambam or similar but that release seems really dated :D anything new up in the works?

    Hello
    The latest version is actually called SketchUcam V1 since the name changed from the Phlatscript to SketchUcam and integrated the Phlat3D plugin by Jovian.
    You can find that download here to see if your running the latest
    viewtopic.php?f=98&t=2#p2

    I know its been a while since a release its just gotten really busy here at the moment and the truth is that its been working really well for what we use it for. When time frees up a little we we to look at it again and see where we can make it better. There are still a lot of cool ideas and features that would be nice to add though.
    Thank you
    Mark and Trish

    I just found this new version and will checking it out. It looks like it may have a new way of installing plugins into SketchUp now. I will let you know what i find out
    Mark and Trish

    EDIT looks like it does need to be in a package file now. So we applied to get SketchUcam added to the Extension Warehouse. We will let you know when its there :good:
    The New SketchUp site looks great and easy to navigate now. I love the extension warehouse it makes finding plugins so easy now!
