    I am having bugsplats everytime I try to use it.

    I am trying to superdrape like 100 60x60cm squares on a mesh (which has a street layout)

    I need the drape to copy the red color of the squares to the mesh, so I can select all 100 squares draped on the mesh and user a vector push pull to create tree spaces.

    Any suggestion on how do fix the bugsplat or another method I could try?

    @ZG53
    If you read all of the thread and the guidance notes...
    The JAR files that ImageTrimmer uses must run/open in Java.
    So firstly you need to have Java installed [if you don't already have it, the it's freely available off the www...].
    Next you must ensure that the JAR files are set to open with Java, many unZIP/decompression tools like WinRar hijack that file type and open it themselves [uselessly]. Go into the associated filetypes in WinRar and untick .JAR...
    ImageTrimmer should now run as intended, although to do need to ensure it's working on a PNG file Image with fully solid and transparent areas...

    I

    Just a quick update on my previous message:

    After struggling with this 'bug' on my main desktop, I tried to install the ThruPaint extension also on my tablet PC. On that machine, the extension did not have the problem of the missing material browser.

    I then decided to completely shut down the desktop PC and restart it (so, not just quiting Sketchup and relaunching the application).
    Bizar, but then the ThruPaint extension worked again, including showing the material browser part.

    So, please disregard my previous message!!!
    This problem thus 'disappeared' without understanding why it happened in the first place, and how it was 'mysteriously solved'.

    However, there is something else now that bothers me: When I select a material in the ThruPaint material browser, this selected material also becomes 'active' in the large material box on the upperleft side of the material browser. However, once I move the mouse beyond the borders of the ThruPaint dialog box, the material in the upperleft box always returns to the 'default' material (see: green box in image below).

    I would expect that the selected material in the browser (red box in figure below) would remain 'active' in the upperleft material box when painting faces, edges or objects in the Sketchup viewport. From what I remember, I believe that this was the behaviour in the past, but it's no longer the case now. I'm also not sure whether my memory is right...

    Currently, with the default material always shown in this upperleft box once the mouse is no longer over the dialog box, I don't see much value for this box, and it's also quite difficult to know what is the active/selected material that is being used for painting.

    Can you please let me know whether the behaviour as described above is intentional of whether it is an 'error'?

    Basically, this question relates to the meaning/purpose of the different material boxes shown in the UI while painting (see figure below).

    c7da2ff4-8954-4bcb-af49-f93869d7c834-Screenshot 2024-11-30 142240 issue 2 ThruPaint.jpg

    The red box (with the red material) is the one that is selected for painting. The green box (with the 'default' material once the mouse is no longer hovering the dialog box), The blue box is linked with the mouse cursor (and also shows the default material...), The black box (also with the default material) is shown as long as the ThruPaint extension is active).

    Three boxes, all with the default material, while another material is selected for painting: in all honesty, the logic behind this escapes me a bit... But, probably, I miss something fundamental in my understanding of how this extension is intended to be used?

    Furthermore, in case of a long list of materials in the material browser, the material that is actually selected may be hidden because it's not in the visible area, based on the position of the scroll bar.

    I've searched online for documentation that helps explaining this, but I've not been able to find an answer.

    I would really appreciate if somebody could shine a light on this in order to help me understand the use of this otherwise marvellous extension better.

    I have a problem with the MINDSIGHT STUDIOS plugins suddenly not appearing in my toolbars. I realized they also disappear from the Master Toolbar Manager.
    The plugins are still loaded and accessible from their native toolbars.Capture d'écran 2024-11-25 145538.pngCapture d'écran 2024-11-25 150903.png

    @GLEZKO said in Flowify:

    @Rich-O-Brien Gi, thanks for the feedback. So am I able to turn it into a png texture and bend that onto the riser or would i just intersect the face of the pattern onto the tread. UI am essentially trying to get this pattern on the tread to make it light up when I render the whole staircase. How would I reduce the geometry?

    Yes, you could make it a png and just texture the riser. You can drive emission at render time using an emissive map.

    To reduce geometry I would remove the Z height to leave just flat planar shapes. Then use Vertex Tools 2 Merge by Distance tool to nuke vertices.

    @spring-freediver said in MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017):

    Is there any news on MSPhysics being updated for newer versions of SketchUp?

    I would like to offer to help with work getting it updated. I wrote the infamous plugin sph4bar in 2006 which models spherical 4 bar mechanisms. I also wrote GeoSketch, a plugin used by aerospace companies.

    In a previous life, I worked for Cadsi, and integrated DADS (Dynamic Analysis and Design System) in to CAD systems such as CATIA and Ideas Master Series.

    Now I am retired and have time to kill.

    Hi. That would be amazing! How are there not enough SU tools to help check the operability of moving elements, that is, kinematics.

    Great work! For not large model work perfectly! But for big models (see attachment) unuseble, because too slow. Аннотация 2024-11-19 141452.png
