So that was not a legend! Big Miss! A ruby can't make the trick ?

@zhulaojianke said: @aarondietzen said: Hi Tony, TIG has pretty much covered this. Sandboxie prevents our software from authorizing. Sorry! I have reinstall win7 and reinstall sketchup and buildedge, I have uninstall sandboxie and it can run well, but when I input my serial number, it reply "Activation not allowed"! Anyone can help me? If you have removed the sandbox tool, the best bet is to uninstall and reinstall BuildEdge PLAN. If you need a hand with this, the best plan is to contact our Help Desk at http://www.buildedge.com/support They will be able to walk you through the steps of reinstalling and get you back up and running. Thanks! Aaron

Bump

Thanks a lot TIG !

I think I can help out. You've got a pm

Not so vicious! Fredo Scale again! Tapering of the bounding box seems make the trick ! So the Doh Duh for Rich! & CleanUp by Thomthom at the end!

Here's a new future-proofed update. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=238647#p238647

I was taking about Adobe Creative Cloud. If you stop subscription you are left with nothing.

Pretty awesome plugins!!! thanks guys...

Hi, Pilou: Can you clarify what is meant by multiple in your thread title? It looks to me that you want the text to ignore mirroring effect as in some CAD programs?

So no one had the same problem and solved it? The problem is not in the rendering settings... the result is similar to the camera view; is the animation different to the camera view... So, should I really cut the render?

hi, any news about this potentionally tool? in autocad you can stop a running command hitting ESC. It is much more usefull in SU which, often, tend to freeze unespectly executing plugins routines. best regards, andrea

Box, thanks for your reply on this. I ended up removing Maxwell Render and reinstalling. It fixed the problem Neets

@Gilles The more useful room of the house must have of course the best environment!

Also try AntonS window Settings plugin. A true gem.

I think it comes close to doing what I want but instead of stretching it scales. It may very well do what is I requested but if it does I'm not smart enough to get it to.

SuperDrape only works vertically downwards, so you might need to reoriented you two pieces to suit. SuperDrawp clones materials too, but if that's not so important try my EEbyVectoreToObjects... Pull the selected face through the receiver form [along ANY vector - pre-draw a guideline if that'll help with snapping] and a now a new group is made, extruding the selected face up to the receiver object's surfaces. Edit that group and erase everything in it except for the 'draped' edges on the receiver's surface. Edit>Cut that group and edit the receiver group. Edit>PasteInPlace and explode the newly inserted group. Its edges should merge with the receiver group's geometry à la 'drape'...

Try something like this m=Sketchup.active_model;ms=m.materials;gs=m.active_entities.grep(Sketchup;;Group);m.start_operation('vmat');gs.clone.each_with_index{|g,i|next unless gs.include?(g);v=g.volume;(gs.delete(g);next)if v<=0;g.material=(ma=ms.add('vmat#1'));ma.color=[rand(255),rand(255),rand(255)];ma.alpha=0.5;gs.clone.each{|gg|(gg.material=ma;gs.delete(gg))if gg.volume==v};};m.commit_operation; This colors all groups in the active context which share the same volume, in a new random material [alpha=0.5]... Non-solid groups [volume <=0... usually -1] are ignored...

Well! Well! Well! Thank you all! Now I have found the solution! I'll try all your suggestions to find the perfect one for my animation. I think the fade effect I need, is something I must prepare before and then use with those plugins.... yes! Thank you so much!

I just added a feature in Skelion plugin to add large terrain mesh. It uses NASA’s SRTM Elevation data. The bad news are that it is a pro feature and there is no good interpolation, so in some areas like Tibet you can appreciate the errors. No image terrain imported. In the image you can see maximum area of SketchUp and the mesh exported with Skelion. [image: eJ5Y_relief.jpg]
