Hello @Rich-O-Brien et all Any news or updates from Anton about the physics simulator? Been waiting and hoping for some years now. Pretty please?

@alexpacio2013 thanks for the nice compliment! Yes, saving your own needed presets for having them available further on is the essential benefit from this tool and was my intention for making this tool (in a much easier version) about a year ago. By the way, having easy access to standardized export settings is an underestimated point because it makes live so much easier in any downstream workflow such as layouting or so. And you don't have to care about your own sketchup setup anymore. You or even anyone else will be able now to reproduce your own absolute identical export results again and again any time you want. Best, and I'm glad that everything is going well now. Ps: don't forget to setup AND SAVE your remaining 7 possible presets Hitting the Save button saves ALL your done settings, not only W x H. When you close sketchup and reopen it any time later, your ViewportBuster will then open with YOUR own presets...

As we have figured out the issue requires both Animator 4.5+ and Thea 4.0.1397+ update.

Thx for your help. I managed to get it right once after several attempts. It seems that finding the center of the bottom face is not easy for me. If there are many ways to do it, is there an easier way? I know that modeling should be done so that I wouldnt have to move the groups. This is a simplication of the model. At least for me it is not possible to create my model in one entity. The image in the op is not showing the gap between the two groups

it's less the risk of updates and more that it's forcing the program data folders to be rebuilt EVERY F'ING TIME i double click on an skp file. and it's ignoring both the preference settings AND the manual edits on the private preferences json file (and as a note, the private file does not have any thing other than my appdata folders for the materials and material browser, styles and style browser, and component and component browser) so there is some special magic happening to "helpfully fix" my install every time. this is not the behaviour in the 2024 version nor the earlier 2025. so someone changed the behaviour, adding things like "would you like to purge your model before saving? it can help improve performance" -- i get it. there are people who will f-up their basic installation so "self-healing" can be useful. but simply ignoring or overriding my settings (used for years mind you) is problematic. please fix this.

@bsfranza @bsfranza said in [Plugin] jf_get_dimensions.rb: hi there together, is there a working version of the plugin? or any alternative? because it seems its still gone from the extension store and sketchucation store Is this one match you: https://community.sketchucation.com/post/1239480

@Woodarc said in VEIL OVER SCENES: I had the axes in the wrong place and, in effect, was looking at the scenes from below ground level. FWIW, the "veil" wasn't due to the location of the axes. Just that the camera was below ground level and the style had ground displayed and Show ground from below turned on. The location of the the ground plane is fixed in the model space and not tied to the location of the axes. By default the axes are positioned such that red and green lie on the ground plane and cross at the origin. Moving the axes doesn't move the ground plane nor does it move the origin.

I had been a member at FormFonts since 2006. I was sad to see it go but I understand the move. I prefer CG Trader over Turbosquid these days. The pricing seems so much more reasonable. Do you model the people from scratch or are you using something like DAZ to start the basic model? Best of luck on this next chapter Alan!

Export Options aren't part of the template settings, though.
