Didier, you're a true ruby-master..!!
Haven't tried if this works, yet - but if you've succeeded this will be helpfull to many...
I remember back at the "old" SU forum, Todd was preparing a similar ruby for more than a year without success...

Tricky as usual!

[arcano]

fantastic ruby ! Thanks a lot !

[TeKnoel]

Wow! This is going to be great!

[SU Reviewer]

This is definitely a useful plugin. But I noticed that if you already have textures applied to a face and then reverse the faces, the plugin reverses the texture as well. I realize that reversing the faces is the whole point of the plugin but is there a way to ignore it if a texture is present or move the texture to the new side (so it stays in the same location)?

Thanks for your hard work!

Hi SUReviewer,
Good point. On the to-do list...

Sigh.....I spent several weeks duplicating this plugin because I didn't do a good enough job searching for this one. Oh well, good practice programing.

From the documentation, it will find faces inside components and groups, this is better then reverse_back_face, but not in interior views (reverse_back_face will). Maybe some one will come along and do both.

Thank you so much but it doesn't work with my sketchup pro 8
Thanks

You have to explain how it doesn't work...
Does it download, install, add menu entires, any error messages [on screen or in the Ruby Console?], run as expected but not reverse faces, do it sometimes work, does it work but not work as you envisaged???

Once we have a better idea we can think about how we can resolve the issue, clearly it works for lots of people so something must be awry with your setup...

[JVT_LTD]

Many thanks to this... Its truly functional...

It comes up in the plugin manager but it doesn't appear in the drop down menu for plugins.

It comes up in the plugin manager but it doesn't appear in the drop down menu for plugins.

If you read the PDF file that came with the plugin you would see on the third page that this plugin shows only in the context menu. It doesn't appear in Plugins or any other the other menus.

Works fine, well done

[function]

I'm not seeing the context menu in 2014... this plugin is great!

Me too

Baz, Didiers plugins haven't been updated to work with SU2014 but some of them can be fixed. This is one of them. It's a simple edit.
Tig explains how here.
