@L-i-am Agreed + if (Hidden Co2 is calculated), not sustainable at all.

Thanks. It loaded OK, and I made test gears OK. Makes nice looking gears. I figured out how to reduce the lines count and make it solid. But now I need to make gears to very specific sizes and my foggy brain cannot interpret the dialog box to do it beyond a simple diameter and tooth count. Also, it produces gears that will be difficult to print; too many overhangs equates to a lot of tiny supports to be removed, and many line lengths are smaller than the printers print resolution. The gears in your diagrams above are far closer to what I need, but I can tweak the SPGears output for that, given each tooth is a component. Quite frankly, I do not fully understand gear design, beyond number of teeth, diameter (pitch radius), face width and bevel angle. I really need some tutorial in understanding the SPGears dialog box, and what "Diametral = xx" means. I have basically 2 types of 90 degree straight bevel gears to make. One pair of same everything; 25mm diameter 24 teeth (simple) and two sets where the diameter ratios are 50mm:280mm and 50mm:140mm. Those are the hard ones to get properly meshed teeth with SPGears. I can probably play around to get them to work once I understand SPGears dialog box. Can you help me with that?

I main reason is that SketchUp does not have true arcs and circle objects like a Nurbs CAD application does. In SketchUp your circles are really many sided polygons, so πr² will never return the true area of the enclosing face. The AI says: If a regular polygon has n sides of length s, the area is: A = (n * s²) / (4 * tan(π / n)) Alternatively, if you know the radius r of the circle that circumscribes the polygon: A = (1/2) * n * r² * sin(2π / n)

Thank you mates. As mentioned, I tried to stand at the balancing point... Somewhere, I think is the optimum of function, form, construction, psychology, etc. Biomimicry is really powerful, agreed.

Bravo, the shadows and light balance blowing my mind.

Hello, Yes, I am using SU2017, on Windows 10 Pro, and no I do not get online that much, but when I try to re-set the plugins, they work for about 20 days, or so, and then they stop working again The only thing I can think of is that when I re-set I use the same license that is stored onto my hard drive, But these licenses are not supposed to expire, right? Thank you, to all, Cheers,

Are you thinking of adding node-based material authoring to Rayscaper? Maybe... - I was more thinking in the line of adding MaterialX imports so that users can easily import materials made by software like this or Substance Designer.

You can also now license from directly within Sketchucation Tools using the Licensing Tab [image: 1759499507011-b63998e1-181d-4c5f-91ba-6d262d4c6185-image.png]

turns out you just need to play with it foe a fa few hours but once you understand the 40 new entities that show up in your outliner and how to use this to prep your model for lay out GAME CHANGER

@fredo6 I got it working again with the latest Library, which was a later version than the animator plugin page linked to. Thanks for getting in touch.....keep up the good work, and glad to see you are charging money for your work.....finally!

Je remarque qu'on a piqué les couleurs de mon avatar! Un gars qui cartonne sur Insta https://www.instagram.com/davidszauder Pour l'instant le meilleur de ce que j'ai vu (j'ai pas encore fini de tout voir tellement il y en a! Mais il faut que je fonce voir l'Orgelf ! Je viens de voir l'adaptation de la tapisserie! Super chouette Griffou plutôt chimérique! Quelle ia pour l'animation ? Je me doutais qu'un artiste en chambre ne pouvait passer à côté de l'ai! Pour moi hors vidéo, c'est Vizcom le plus sympa! (pour le prix aussi vu qu'il est gratuit! PS J'ai tout vu de l'Orgelf : trop fort! Bravo! Il n'y a pas de son ? J'en ai entendu que 2 ! La J Céleste..., le Lapin

Thanks Fredo6

@joshvt said in Measurement window location in 2025: for some reason was having trouble floating/ undocking it. If you untick the box for Measurements in the View>Toolbars panel the window should be displayed in the default lower right corner location.

I'd love to contact you about your projects. Please feel free to email me at toby@sprintcarhub.com

Thanks mate
