The video is correct the only difference is that on a Mac the Preferences is in a slightly different place. @unknownuser said: Select Window > Preferences (Microsoft Windows) or SketchUp > Preferences (Mac OS X). The Preferences dialog box is displayed. Click on Extensions. The Extensions panel is displayed. Click on the Install Extension button. The Open dialog box is displayed. Locate the Ruby zip file to install (.rbz). Click on the Open button. You just need to download the .rbz file and install it using the preferences dialog. Don't put it in the plugins folder. Also be aware that the location of the plugins folder has changed with SU2014. I'm not a mac user so I can't tell you where it is, but it may explain your issue with other plugins not working correctly. It would help if you filled in your profile too.

Its v1.3 came out today, that might fix things ?

I like the rebranding of SketchUcation to SketchUaction Nice touch

Yeah, the characters are just horrible. Wish they had a character studio where you could quickly customize them and then load various BIP files to make them do what you want. What am I seriously going to do with that push up guy???

here's a link to the new thread. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=59464

Yes! small objects that are processed by native tools [e.g. FollwMe] OR plugins making meshes etc can fail to make tiny facets, if they would have edges <1/1000" long. SketchUp's in-built tolerance assumes the two point specified for such tiny edge's ends are coincident. Therefore the tiny edge is not make and the face that needed it fails to be created too. If you Scale your original object up by say 100, then the smaller facets will still be big enough to get made. Afterwards you just Scale back down to the desired size. The tiny facets will survive that Scaling down - tiny geometry can exist - but SketchUp can't create it initially.

@adamb said: Hi Kris, On Windows, the installer checks what version of SketchUp you have and sets up the initial Installation Folder. So if you have SU2014, then it will be set to *C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014* If you have SU2013, then it will be set to *C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013* and so on. You can of course edit this install location to wherever you like, but the default is based off where you installed SketchUp. Adam You might think of adding this as a text description or a tip on the installer. When I install 64bit My system is defaulting to program files 86 base folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\ and no sketchup folder. I have 8, 13, and 14 installed.

I have the question also about similar problem.. if anyone can help my ill be thankfull alot ... so when im rendering all the materials who are not in group are just deleted somehow.. so if someone knows about this kind of problem please tell me ... here is after rendering the last time https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10734254_10204458854332520_1746582696066770282_n.jpg?oh=5d09c77ef45ee0f97720928c535b2f65%26amp;oe=54B32A51%26amp;gda=1421666820_8d243cf8196727c302c7989abfe2d005 and this is render before this error come to my program https://scontent-b-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/1617448_10204458856852583_1057791025663701620_o.jpg

A new version of Vue came out about a month ago.

I have downloaded and I am playing - quite fun - just wondered, Solo especially as your playing too, if you had managed to alter a dynamic material to show bump map? I was trying to make parquet floor - on finding the advanced materials i managed to import my floor material ok - got a reflection but couldn't get that reflection to work with a bump map - it stayed smooth and reflective even though i put various textures into the bump map slot. any luck cheers chris

1 - I you will have more luck asking questions on the Maxwell forums 2- I think the image is based on your render output settings. If its set to a hi res and the preview is still small, I think there might be a keyboard command to zoom in, check the PDF manual.

Please download the latest version [v2.6.1] of the SketchUcation PluginStore RBZ from here: http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=SketchUcationTools Then use the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button as explained before... and restart SketchUp to ensure the changes are set up properly... Any luck with it now ? The PluginStore dialog being blank is probably result of some Internet Explorer interaction or settings... SketchUp's web-dialogs always use IE on PCs - even if you prefer another browser for normal web-use... You should update IE to the latest version - because if you have say IE8 or 9 it can cause issues. IE11 is the current / best version. In 'About IE' also tick 'update automatically...' It might also be a 'cache' issue. In IE clear its cache - Ctrl+Shift+Delete - or via the Safety menu item. Then reopen the PluginStore dialog - you might have a corrupted cache, so it could now work. Also can you open the Ruby Console and type in this + <enter> SCF::TEMPDIR What do you get as the result ? Any results ??

brighter 3D does look good, although im not really an expert. Better think hard to decide if it will be better than Twilight or Light up and see if I can catch the sale.

Thanks. Here it is as i begin to setup to render. its actually kinda creepy looking fixture. i didn't pick it [image: McWt_FabricSconces-3.jpg]

French version

Wow... love the material editor. Makes lighting very easy. reflections are very nice. and you can't beat the price. £36 BPS or $58.00 US...

How does it handle 45 degree angles...? Today I'm using Ridgid Sketch and although it's a very helpful tool, it fails completely when it comes to angles...

best would be if we can kick start the plug in. and in the end plugin would be free and would only pay for the external program. And also developer wouldn't bare the risk of developing plugin none would buy.

Thanks! I tried the Inkscape method and it worked like a charm! I will also try the converter option as well to have another way to solve this problem. Thanks again! Matte

If you turn a rbz into a zip you cant auto install from Preferences > Extensions. If you want to do that, you have to have a rbz file. You just turn it into a zip if you know the folder where the plugins are located and you want to drag the plugin files to the folder. That is not standard practice and you must know what you're doing. So, general rule, don't install plugins from ZIP.
