Hello,
I started working on my home design in sketch-up with DD and found DD very useful add-on saving me plenty of clicks and time, but after enabling "inferred dimensions" feature I ran out of 25 dimensions pretty quickly. Just try to count dimensions in your inferred dimension feature manual and you'll see: there are about 30 dimensions in pretty simple model. I would say that 25 dimensions is to few for almost any design with "inferred dimensions", so I would say that either inferred dimensions should not be counted at all or total number of dimensions in free versions should be increased at least 4-5 times to make it anyhow useful and don't loose the building-up community of DD users.
Btw, do you plan to release Mac version of DD?
Regards,
Nick
nick, maybe you could try and use the dimensions a little sparingly dimension that you know aren't going to change may not need to be dimensioned. hope that helps.
Dmitry, thank you so much for this amazing plugin. still looking forward to relations; =, parallel ...

i have two suggestions for you, if i may. first of all to address Nick's (and i'm sure other free users) concern, maybe you could comprimise by not counting fixed verts as part of the 25 dims limit.
secondly, it might be less cluttering on screen if the auto generated,
edge-edge angle dimensions were hidden and only appeared when hovered over with the DDtool, then the visibility could be turned on individually if desired.
one more thing is that i believe DD should never change the orientation of edges unless they are dimensioned with an angle. that way DD would not even need to add edge-edge angle dims, correct? if in some cases the model cannot be solved unless edges are rotated a message could popup and say (example) DD cannot solve dimensions without rotating edges, ok or cancel? if ok you could then be given the option to click on (choose) which edge to rotate.
anyway, these are just some ideas that may make your wonderful plugin even better. IMO.
