I used the drape tool. That worked. Thank you.

Well, I cannot tell you much more than what has been previously discussed in other threads. You probably have an integrated graphics processor- not a recommended system for a graphics intensive application, let alone a plugin for it. It's this OpenGL thing. Your processor has to support that "protocol". Again, I cannot be 100% certain it would not be some other factor. Strangely, I have an older tabletpc with XPpro on it that seems to have an integrated processor. Yet I can run Sketchup and SSB on it, and I do not recall having that situation come up. Maybe that system is designed for heavy graphics. It may be time to consider a newer system. I know I need to.

@ Rich: I've got my code 3 hours after I sent the request.

Thank you, both I used MoI trial till it works: it goes fine for small models. To have a good result (without errors) with mine I had to divide it into 4 parts. About Sycode I knew of it and I asked a key two days ago: I let you know how it works.

Yes, there it is, and it works great. Thanks!

Thank you Very much, every thing is fine now !

@jclements said: Hey Driven, but with the Outliner you can now do search for "Intersection" change the default layer before using the script. Outliners known to cause problems with other rubies, so I avoid it like the plague, it's even easier to make layers on a mac using the 'entity info' box. and I never change the default layer for the geometry just groups and components. john

No progress I'm afraid. I've had no time to work on this. Latest development test is here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=30143

@mitcorb said: Hi, zun kian: If you are in a hurry, perhaps create a large rectangular plane group bigger than the foot print of your model. Position the plane at the vertical elevation at which you wish to cut. Intersect plane with model. Delete all above plane. Of course, some of this model may be components, and this would be another level of complexity to deal with. I would probably save the model as a new version and work on that one. Thanks mitcorb will try that if that's the only way it would help! zunkian

TIG Thank you for the reply. For some reason yesterday, I couldn't get back on this site. Ken

I wondered this a few years back when SU got 3d Text, if it can do fonts why not shapes, imagine a shatter or asteroid (like in the 70's game asteroids)shape font.

I think this might do what you want ? http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=360335#p360335

I want sun right inside my house at moon. How about that. COuld you also position sun in a room as light source?

great !

Just to add to the list, LightUp (http://light-up.co.uk) performs realtime Solar analysis all from inside SketchUp (in the same Window). Here's a realtime capture of it in use comparing Summer and Winter insolation. [flash=640,480:3897kuqs]http://www.youtube.com/v/jxPyMvI_EqI[/flash:3897kuqs]
