Makes sense. Thanks, I'll download a new Dibec plugin copy.

There's a whole raft of plugins you can use for this...once you get into it. Thom's QuadFace Tools has a great usability too. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39442

Do a google search on "Rocksolver" This is a plugin, but I cannot tell if it has a price or it is free. I did not search too far.

are all your plugins the latest version? v2014 uses Ruby 2, ANY old plugins may break... if they are all fresh downloads with v2014 compatibility, on a mac the first suspect will be a renderer. [any breed] john

@dave r said: With Mac there's a native option. With the PC there isn't but ThomThom's Export 2D With Alpha will do it if you export PNG files. JPGs don't support transparency. Thanks Dave - does EXACTLY what I want. This should be a standard part of SU (IMHO).

BVox beat me ! Look at the Style set for the view. Edit it... 'Edge Settings'... It probably has 'Back Edges' ticked ? Un-tick that. Also un-tick 'Extensions' and 'Endpoints' if they are set too... Also, if you have not given external-walls a proper thickness then that can also lead to edges bleeding through...

@jeff hammond said: @unknownuser said: Thanks guys! What I mean is: it's usually best to think ahead in these situations.. copy the lines when they're more selectable then paste in place once the surface is made.. [attachment=0:18rbck4m]<!-- ia0 -->untitled.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:18rbck4m] perimeter curves curviLoft's geometry options -- generate only junctions or intermediate lines (or both) using curvizard (other plugins available for this) , select a segment on the curve you want and it will automatically select the rest of the segments then weld.. do that for the lines you want visible then Copy make the surface - smooth if necessary Paste in Place . Thanks Jeff, that is what I want!

My pleasure William.

Hi, masmark: Thanks for responding. Good to know I wasn't totally wrong

You can try thrupaint from Fredo tools. SketchUV will do it. Quadfacetools from Thomthom will work in this situation too.

hi my friend Zooen has find how to ... Please , take a look there: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/Ruby-API/BGMwYIN83CM/FOxrRZ-3fBoJ it works also for the plugin "Align tool 3D". french post : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51%26amp;t=57160%26amp;p=519494#p519494 chri

A fellow Okie... Welcome to the forum Jamie.

Try welding the lines. Curvizard will let you batch weld them.

Delete whatever is in the filter box.

@leminilab said: 3dita, I thank you, it works perfectly! I just need to find the best spacing in the sandbox to make sure my computer doesn't die rendering this but it is what I needed! Thanks a bunch! Glad I could be of help! Again, make sure the CDs are Proxies, otherwise I think it's gonna be hard to handle that scene.. Looking forward to see how it turned out, ok? Cheers

need more detail or post sample of file What are you exporting to??

I just installed it on my Mac and it works fine for me, too. Maybe it's an installation error? Did you also install the required support file?

thanks a lot for all of you i finish it [image: 6Lrn_Model1.jpg] [image: eaFj_Model2.jpg]

Hi Ming, I looked at the .ply file you posted. It contains only points with no face data. i am not sure what is crashing SketchUp, but my .ply importer does not import points - it uses the points to create faces. There is no face data in the .ply file. Do you want to view the point cloud in SketchUp, or did you want to view a mesh made from the point data in SketchUp? My extension can not create a mesh from points. Use MeshLab to create a mesh from the point data. Then you can export the mesh and try to import in SketchUp again. It is probably a good idea to clean and simplify the mesh in MeshLab before exporting.
