You can also use FormZFree who has import SKP then export from it in STL! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDFL_udKx34

Hi JAP, I found this topic 4 years after you opened it. Did you find a way to make these 360 degrees videos in your sketchup model? Is there now some rendering programs able to do that? My purpose is to use this video with a VR headseat device like cardboard or oculus. Thanks!

I found a solution without a extension. make model create a generic Plate select all model + new plate paint a generic texture on first face of plate reverse face on plate select all model + plate with reversed face paint same generic texture on reversed face of plate now all face on model have a texture and correct normals paint all texture you want on model on visible faces Expot without normals bug. happy to share this tips with you bbye

@skippy_28 said: Just wondering is anyone knows how to hide Emitters from the camera so you get the light but not the geometry that it is coming from. Hey, right click the component, you'll see a sub menu, go to Maxwell, another sub menu will appear, select 'from camera', there's a few other options in there too for invisibility, for example, if you want to illuminate an area and there are windows/mirrors and you don't want the actual source of light to be visible in the reflections, then you'd need to enable 'from reflections/refractions' too.

@cotty said: Any glue to components? Yep, that was it. I just figured it out just as you posted. Thanks Cotty.

Look into "World engine" I don't know much about it but I think it's worth checking out

Joint PushPull by Fredo6 for make a thickness! For your case from any top face to the external Will works for the general surface if thickness is smaller than 1/2 length of the smaller segment of your model! Else you must make separated parts! [image: DEHF_box.gif]

HI pbacot No charge to give it a run and I have done projects of considerable scope with Tcad and it really works for me. Of course there is a learning curve but it is pretty easy to get up to speed on and well worth the try IMO. dtr

That button was introduced with SketchUp 8M2. You can rename that rbz to zip and place the content in your plugins folder.

Is quite nice using old SU files that were never rendered to try out this great rendering engine [image: 1jXu_CasaEduardo2.jpg]

Excellent! A Lumion like! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=badK8koeCUA

+1 on the Perpetual License option, the subscription licensing kept me from evening trying LightUp, I hope other developers whose software is subscription based follow your lead and give us a choice. Mike

@pixero said: ...and Unity 5 is also free if you don't need the pro features. (Which I don't.) Same as before, but now the "pro" features changed, the free version is not limiting the editor's features anymore, which is a big step.

The recent update to PlusSpec website and this thread clarifies everything. 12 months subscription at AU$990 Per Annum.

Although this post might be a bit old (and already resolved), I would like to add my two cents when it comes to animating vehicle sliding doors: Before importing an LRV sketchup model into V3DM, assign each inside face of the door a different material. The outside face can remain their true colours. For some reason in V3DM, all faces with the same inside and outside faces of an imported sketchup model can only be selected simultaneously, not individually. After importing to V3DM, group the faces that belong to each door. Now you can define these groups as doors in V3DM. Vissim will automatically determine the sliding direction for each door.

Update: LightUp has recently updated its pricing model to include a Perpetual License option.

Hey guys, Had the same problem a while ago. Instead of waiting or downloading a beta version I emailed sketchup and told them my situation. They were able to send me a temporary pro license activation code for SU2014 so that I could use my Maxwell Render plugin for another while. Taking in to consideration that plugin for SU2015 is not fully complete I might ask them for this favour again. It is definitely worth a try. Good luck!
