@Rich-O-Brien a friend of mine (working at the tramwaycompany) is doing the prints for me.

@ramiduscz Hi, Which texture replacer are you using ? ThomThom's 'material replacer' (works like a charm, although you need to replace materials one by one. It respects UV's if tou hit the Ctrl key.

@L-i-am said in Having a bad day?: Hi Guys have not been very active of late as I am temporally on a med that completely stifles creativity, hence no sketchup. However this appeared on facebook. It made me smile from ear to ear. Careful though it can be I know how you feel. I had some surgery a few months ago and am trying to get back too SketchUp. As @rich-o-brien and a couple of others can tell you, I have been having some problems getting back into it. Trying to use some features that I either have not used before (or at least for a long time) and have asked some pretty silly/dumb questions. However, I am determined to learn/get back with it. Hope all is well with you and you can get back with it. I know you have posted some great work in the past and you will get there again.

My old https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersFromList and https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_LayersToList Let you import / export layers from / to a text file in the form NAME:R,G,B per line. So you could edit [or make] the file with customized RGB values and names as desired...

Does your set up meet the requirements listed here ? https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/system-requirements The fact that it runs OK on a similar machine suggests that something is 'missing' in the set up with the problems - hardware or software ?

it is fierce mate. Thanks . lets hope for positive changes.. and a lasting peace in world.

I have been testing MyArchtectureAI quite some. I also purchased the Pro version with unlimited credits. In my case the results are not that great even when doing editing. There are just too many random AI stuff happening. I just tested Archfine.com and it gave excellent results. There was editing needed because AI didn't get creative. Unfortunately it was not possible to do more test because it was possible to do only 1 test render with the free version. It seems that the solutions (Visoid, Archfine, Viz Maker) that use NanoBananaPro are giving the best results. https://vizmaker.vizacademy.co.uk/ has also somekind of integration with Sketchup but it seems to just export the image, no material info or anything. Viz Maker has also quite good edit possibilities.

It might work. Just try it... İşe yarayabilir. Bir deneyin...

2026Moi3D Naca Airfoil Profil Generator French Version Beta V 5 https://moiscript.weebly.com/aile-naca.html https://www.ntop.com/ [image: 1767481023108-naca_2026.jpg]

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2 AI is not good source for a solution. You could be going down a rabbithole to nowhere. A better option would be to upgrade SketchUp if that's in your budget.

@fredo6 This plugin is fantastic and very useful but not well known, which is why I would like to write an article about it for an Italian group, but I have a problem. Being disabled, when I open the Freddo Batch windows, they open at the top, above and outside the limits of the open SketchUp window, and due to my inability to use a normal mouse, I use a virtual mouse (eviacam). It's difficult for me to move the window because the top bar is used by eviacam but is not editable. It's only my problem, but this is the only plugin I have this issue with. Is it possible to have the windows open inside the SketchUp window? [image: 1767352063969-yljde2xlc5-resized.png]

Thanks so much, its very useful.

Let me try and explain what I'm trying to do because I have a few things I'd like to accomplish... this being what I think should be the first step. Though I tend to change/modify my ideas as I work on them. Basically I have a cabinet plugin I'm working on and one thing I'd like to do is add nesting/cut sheet/layout functionality... so basically... identify all the top faces of the panels (I can do this). make a copy of the faces before adding them to an array... still need to figure this out. launch a new instance of SketchUp and adding the faces from the array I copied... I was thinking of making a ruby script to do this and then launch/open a plugin to manage the nesting options. I got the idea after finding this... https://community.sketchucation.com/topic/139502/sketchup-command-line-switches Hopefully that's not to confusing and makes some sense.

Looking good, Steve, very good.

@L-i-am Thanks for the kind words, Liam, much appreciated! And have a great New Year!

That is not a four edge geometry..

Yeah, I think you'll definitely need to live with the compromise, because there's not some "universal" solution to this problem (and it can get even more complex with multiple nesting levels and/or multiple instances of the "father" component with different scale factor. You will indeed loose the "instancing" benefit, otherwise it will be a mess.. No matter the code. Buon anno a te!

@jaime_s Sorry, but I made the decision early on to not sell any of my models. That would make it seem more like work rather than something I do because I enjoy it.

The developers haven't have made any changes to SketchUp 2021 since late in 2021. The .3ds exporter in SketchUp 2021 wouldn't have been changed, either. You can be certain that the developers won't be looking at the exporter in old, unsupported versions of SketchUp. Maybe there's something in your model that is resulting in the slow down. You could share the .skp file. We could try the export in the current version and see what happens. @onzki said in Export to .3ds takes forever: I’m using 2021 Pro Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2024. Do you get a different export result with that version?
