maybe you can use this plug in....its very cool but it just make one part of the process . it convert all the lines on faces, so then you have to push and pull the walls with out make the face http://www.iscarnet.com/sketchup/plugins/ruby/crear_caras.php

Thanks Tomasz, Your da man! BTW are things going with you? Mike

Hi Frederik, Thanks a lot for this update! I can hardly wait till the week-end to start playing around!

Now we are waiting the new fashion clock watch

Thanks Gaiues for the link. Majid you are very welcome to join us. Looking forward to see more of your posts.

OK, I've just tried again and funnily it said I entered either a wrong username or my password was wrong. I use FF and I make it remember my login data on my home computer (only). I looked there and there was "Gaieus" but there were way less *s for the password than my normal one. I re-entered my password and it finally let me in (I actually checked my password manager in FF settings and there the correct password showed). Anyway, I'm in. I hope you guys didn't have a hack again!

Re MEMORY STICK This should be possible. You should be able to copy the contents of C:\Program Files\Render Plus Systems\3D_PDF onto a memory stick, place it into a computer and run skp_to_3d_pdf.exe from the memory stick. We will give it a try. However, I can think of a few problems. Some Visual Studio DLL's may not be on the target computer. If we discover what they are, then they can be copied onto the memory stick and that may work (or we may have to create a new release of 3D PDF with the missing DLLs) You will not be licensed to run RPS 3D PDF on the target machine. I don't know how we will solve this problem. We can discuss it after you get the comcept working properly. There are 2 other solutions to the general problem. You can "remote log in" to your own computer, which is licensed for RPS 3D PDF from the client machines, run RPS 3D PDF remotely, load a file from the client machine and process it. You can bring your portable computer with you to the client location, put the .SKP file from the client machine onto your portable, and use your portable to create the PDF file.

Shadows would be "possible" in RPS 3D PDF - but very difficult for us to implement. U3D, (the underlying format), itself, does not do shadows (as far as we know). If anyone has seen other 3D PDF products which do shadows, let us know. So, to do shadows, we would have to places textures on each shadowed face which already had the shadows on them. This is "possible", but very difficult, and it would probably create a PDF file which was too large to use properly. We have seen some approaches which use .AVI movies, rather than 3D PDF to create presentations with shadows. SketchUp can do this with sun shadows already, or you can use IRender to create movies with reflections and shadows from point lights as well as the sun.

Hi All, Latest update on the Getting Started tutorial side... Mr. Kutai have been so kind and translated the Getting Started tutorial into Japanese language... To see this, please visit http://www.mrkutai.com/2007/12/getting-started-kerkythea-2007.html

lol, now that you mention it, i dont know what i was thinking when i first built this... It took me a while to recognize where i got this shape from, and then it clicked that is was based off the chain links that LEGOs use....

This brings to mind the stemless, round bottom glass that is new on the market. It will tilt and you can even spin it, but it wont spill, supposedly. From the looks and feel of it, the bottom interior thins as it rises, giving all the weight to the bottom, it seems.

Yes I've seen you posted it inn the gallery. Nice gazebo indeed! (and surely I have the player and the teleporter, too ) Glad you succeeded!

I am using the older version. I had trouble yesterday downloading the new version and getting it to work so I went back to the old. I will try the new again. Thanks.

Thanks a'lot! ilay [spire7k]

Well, Fletch, sorry for this but you know we said what we cannot transfer is the original post date and time. Yet carefully moved everything here And yes, it's been out for long and works brilliantly!

Jackson thanks for your reply, I think I finally have it. I wasn't grouping correctly, that was throwing me off. Thanks again, Deano P: deano40

I'm on a T1 and it took quite a long time to download then was extremely sluggish.

Seems this one doesn't work for us cheapskate Google SU folks due to lack of the proper 3D exporter.
