Else in general a very tricky free online! Start

Dynamic-Loading: Several of Fredo's tools are construed in such a way that if you install them using the AutoInstall feature [OR even manually install from an RBZ archive] then you will need to restart SketchUp to see the changes that they bring... Most plugins can be 'dynamically-loaded', and these will give their new functionality immediately they are loaded, but some - like Fredo's - do require a restart Permissions: The AutoInstaller will have checked if there are permission issues, but some subtle limitations might still escape this checking... so it's always best to manually check and ensure that you have given FULL security-permissions to the Plugins folder for ALL users: especially, immediately after you make a new installation of SketchUp - when Windows has a nasty habit of initially limiting security-access to any new 'Program Files' folders/subfolders to protect you from yourself !! ...

Thanks TIG

Yeah that sounds right. Also (if your putting together some code) be aware that pushpulled_face = face.pushpull "distance" will return nil. So to get newly pushpulled faces you have to create 2 arrays. 1: with faces Before pushpull and 2: after pushpull, then subtract array1 from array2. (TIG has some code posted in detail for this, lying around in the developper section somewhere...) Obviously if you have the geometry grouped this process will be faster you since dont have to traverse the whole model.

This already exists http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=337794#p337794 Someone made a rb file from my script example.

Okay, I should have read that more carefully. Creating groups solved my problem. Thanks.

The plugins store has a full list with dates. If the dates were in a javascript-readable attribute, it could all be done locally by comparing the versions, without changes needed on server-side.

Excellent tip. Worked perfectly! Many thanks!

Curious of if you figured out how to do that. That process could make a lot of things possible. I've been looking for alternate ways to render sketchyphysics and seriously, good luck.

The problem comes from small segments. This is the problem with RoundCorner, as it is based on a pure geometrical approach. It may also an obscure bug. The zigzag artefacts disappear with an offset under 2mm. So there is no good solution except may be to scale up, as suggested by mitcorb to put the option "Strict respect of offset" ON but beforehands to try to eliminate the few small segments by adjusting the upper surface.

FWIW, if the thing to which you are applying the texture is a component, you can set the component axes so their alignment will yield the desired orientation of the texture. Then you don't need to be changing the orientation of the model axes. Just open the component for editing and apply the texture.

What's the name of this plugin?

Hello togehter, the problem is still there (Sketchup to x-file) I try the following things: 1.) If i use 3d-Rad-Exporter i get the problem with the textures, have a look: [image: b4t91u.jpg] 2.) If i use xExporter i have the same problem like the 3d-Rad-Exporter. 3.) If i use ZbylsXExporter, the Plugin break down. Have anyone a idea? Could it be a general texture-problem of Sketchup, or is it a exportproblem? By the way, i'am using Sketchup Make Regards Christian

got an answer from the team : We are working on the plugin compatibility with SketchUp 2013 right now and hope to be releasing very soon- but as we are not yet in testing phase I'm afraid I can't be specific about a date. You´ll receive notification from us when it is released though. I hope this helps but if you have any other queries please don't hesitate to let me know. Kind regards, Kyrstie Wade Next Limit Technologies

Haven't used it. Looks to be Euro style construction.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I will try my best. @jolran said: Looks like there are some hints from TIG dealing with raytests and camera positions, etc in the links. Thomthom where on to something there as well. Maybe that could help. Hope you manage to find something, Renderiza. The camera position in relation to the markers on floor is something to be explored indeed but its going to be a mess trying to have formula that can give you the right value for fog. Depth of Field with SkethcUP and Photoshop Here is little experiment using Fog and the style options for making an alpha type image that I could use in Photoshop to make depth of field. Alpha 1 (from SketchUp) [image: image.jpg] This is an exported image from SketchUp which was made to look like that using Styles options to modify fog color and few other parameters. This output image will then serve me as alpha channel to apply lens blur in Photoshop. Original (from SketchUp) [image: image.jpg] Result (from Photoshop) [image: image.jpg] This is how it will look with depth of field applied, please keep in mind that you have full control of the amount and you can even invert it so that the blur area is the front. Apart from the blur effect I also did an inner shadow type of effect just in case anyone wanted to know. Maybe I will make a tutorial so that it becomes more clear how to do this. Thanks, Renderiza
