hi! i need a help please. İn sketchup i just wondering. İs it possible to get a proper render while using photomatch.i mean ,after i match a model on to the photo by photomatch i tried to render it and the photo which is behind the sceen is disappear

Why not try the very funny and easy and free Real Time Render Simlab Composer Light ? (maxi 1920 * 1080) Import directly Skp format but also any 3D format ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFlKDBQpYOc

@solo said: I'm getting a 404 error with that link. Hi, I've just fixed the link. Don't know why it didn't work. It should be good now!

This occurs because some groups are falling down, far away from the camera. If you unhide all groups and layers, and then play simulation, you will notice some objects falling infinitely down. You may set their state to ignore or static, so they don't interact with the simulation. Then you can hide them back if desired. If you want them movable, then simply add a huge static ground below so that the falling objects don't fall down beyond it. Also enabling Continuous Collision mode for all objects in Simulation tab may help in preventing objects from falling through each other in case they do so.

Done (y)

@maku1980 said: hi how do I get curved length of rebar and quantity through sketchup? If the rebar is modeled using Profile Builder 2 - the Quantifier can report the total (curved) length, volume, and even weight of the rebar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjt6s42dT_I%26amp;list=PLHS7AnPxIwNBqOw-TNOFxIYjUu1uKmT0J%26amp;index=14 http://profilebuilder4sketchup.com

@juju said: I would be interested, but to modify this (depending on how it functions, probably the component that has to be set up in a specific way) to be able to cut openings in cavity (or multi skin walls) and heal the wall between the various skins. Doing the healing manually is a real PITA. No this plugin isn't anything that sophisticated. It was initially designed to fit and align a component between two points. Have been working on a three point version with limited success. Yes it always depends on how the component definition is oriented relative to its axis and origin.

Helló Gábor, kérdezhetsz, ha valami nem világos.

I like the concept, especially being able to view a specific key with all it's modifiers is nice. Much easier to create "groups" of related shortcuts. For example, being able to see/set related Zoom functions to the z key and it's modifiers.

We just released a new version of AmbientOcclusion, you can get it here: http://www.ambientocclusion-sketchup.com This new version adds rendering directly inside the SketchUp viewport. https://www.youtube.com/v/Rst3-SoYAvA

Hi Tig Found file but no author information. Googled it and found that it was Smustard now trying to reload it

thanks Rich, i bumped that thread also to see if i could get some info on it. Not really into writting Ruby and that's how it was set up on the original purge feature he built Thanks again!

This looks amazing. Compression ratio is crazy.

Was free in the past, now some expansive for hobbyist!

look up light leaks in Kerkythea. Try this: @unknownuser said: ""light-leak" is common issue with photon mapping, no matter of render engine. There are means in KT to fight against it, but generally modelling walls as solid should help. Shooting more photons and enabling secondary final gathering should help too. Usually the light-leak problem is specific to a particular scene, so there is no one good solution to it..." Also you might experiment with taking your scene further. Are you going to have windows and sunlight? the problem could be partly fixed anyway with some lighting in the scene.

@solo said: Welcome to Sketchucation I saw your stand at Boot Camp and Base Camp, crazy that you were positioned right next to Lumion. Can you please also show the workflow from Sketchup to Twinmotion, I'd like to see the point cloud creation, export part. Thanks. Alas, apparently she/he cannot. That is a pity.

Thanks for the feedback. and your confirmation that the latest update fixes the various and recent issues...

The newer versions of SketchUp have an Extension Loading Policy [under Preferences]. If it is set to 'Unrestricted' then any extension or plugin [in the user's Plugins folder] can load as SketchUp starts. Other settings will only load 'signed' extensions, or prompt for 'approval'. Since v2016 extension authors can get their code 'signed' by Trimble. This is of limited comfort, since poor things can be easily approved... Since there are hundreds of extensions, then you might appreciate that it takes time for their authors to get them re-signed by Trimble [let alone fix any coding changes that the version update might demand !]. Just by it reporting as unsigned or having an outdated signature, is not necessarily a cause of concern... Provided that got the file from a reputable source - e.g. EWH, PluginStore, Smustard, or an author's own site...

@driven said: have you tried Face Cutter? facecutter simply cuts through all the faces, it doesn't create the reveal returns (in terms of construction methodology) nor does it create the lintel and sill. @pbacot said: My lintels and sills always come with the door component, so I don't quite understand original post. Really? I only know of Window+ that does the sill for you with the window, but not in terms of construction methodology though. What is it that you don't understand? [image: NluC_01.JPG]

Yes, re-uploading would be good. It's on my to-do list but I am not sure when I will get to it.
