Hello, I am looking for a certain plugin that can scale but doesn’t stretch at all. Please do not mention FredoScale, it doesn’t have the feature and it still can stretch. I have tried two different tools from FredoScale and the result is not what I wanted. If you do not understand what I mean by …

I am not familiar with any scale plugin that would do that. I would simply scale or redraw the first single arc and then offset. If you desire to retain the first arc after scale, use copy in place. Or perhaps you could create a dynamic component.

There is another mod I am trying to use along with what I did is: Using offset after I turned it into a component. a mod called “Memory Copy” which allow me to use scale plugin with that feature so I can use the same movement repeatedly that should give you an idea of what I am trying to do. EDI…

The Scale tool and Fredoscale are doing exactly what they are designed to do. I don’t know of any plugin or extension that will do what you are expecting them to do but redrawing it with the new radius is easy enough with or without Memory Copy.

Memory Copy required the object to be a component. I wanted to create more than a dozen of these arcs from large to small. I don’t have any expectation of these plugins, I just wanted to check to see if they exist or not. It’s fine that you are not aware of any plugins that have these feature. I w…

have a look at this component: [image] Help Requested Dynamic Components With a DC, you will get parts wich lines can not be smoothed: [DC_ARC] The DC is copied 11x. It is built up with three seperate components: 2 wedges and a block: (And a lot of trigonometry…): Bar…

[image] Sparda: I don’t mind that you can share them in here as well. Since you don’t mind… Here’s a way that doesn’t require any scaling and uses no extensions or plugins and can be done in any version of SketchUp. Draw a profile and copy it at the required spacing. [Screenshot%20-%206_4…

:thinking: I didn’t think of that. Follow Me, of course, that’s a good way to use it.

MikewayZvoski, I do not know such a thing exist. Look like there is more to dynamic component than I thought. I’ll have to do some research to learn more about this. :face_with_monocle:

If you gave it (even temporary) a profile, you could use profile builder to do this. You could always eliminate the thickness afterwards. [curve5]

:thinking: that’s interesting plugin, I never heard of Profile Builder 2. and that method is interesting
