Assign material 1 to all wall surfaces. Assign mat 2 to all window surfaces. Right click in material browser and get total surface area mat 1 is assigned to. Same with mat 2. Add, subtract as required to get the info you are after.

At the moment, no. The author has it planned to add that feature into a future version, though. Since he has a day job and a life ( I wonder what that's like. 🤣 ) we'll likely have to wait a little bit.

Reread what I wrote...
It works on ALL materials, making the RGB values 235 maximum; thus 'toning down' the hue of every color that has an RGB value > 235.
To use this one-liner code... open the 'Ruby Console' in SketchUp [via the SketchUp > Windows menu] and the copy/paste the whole of the line of the code into the bottom area of the 'Ruby Console', then press the <enter> key to run it.
All materials are changed [it's relatively fast].
You should see the RGB change in any material you 'Edit' in the Materials Browser, if any value was > 235 it will now be 235...
It is one-step-undo-able - e.g. if you decide you don't like the changes.

You could save the one-line of text into a text file for easier use later on...

Hi,

I didn't saw your answer but I produced this code...
I post it for your information...but I will work on your answer

So, my code, as it is now (please don't blame me using a global variable... 😉 )

` class Class_Run_Animation
def initialize
puts "Start of animation v1"
@p=0
@id=0
end

def nextFrame(view)
if $inteloide_cont==true then
puts "Go to scene #{@p}"
pages = Sketchup.active_model.pages

pages.selected_page = pages[@p] if @p<pages.size-1 then @p+=1 @id=UI.start_timer(Sketchup.active_model.options["PageOptions"]["TransitionTime"]+Sketchup.active_model.options["SlideshowOptions"]["SlideTime"], false) { nextFrame(view) } return true else puts "End of loop" return false end else puts "stop animation" @id=UI.start_timer(1, false) { nextFrame(view) } end

end
end

module Inteloide
def self.start_animation()
$inteloide_cont=true
Sketchup.active_model.active_view.animation=Class_Run_Animation.new()
end
def self.stop_animation()
$inteloide_cont=false
Sketchup.active_model.active_view.animation=nil
end
def self.pause_animation()
$inteloide_cont = !($inteloide_cont)
puts $bg_cont
end
end`

actloader.rb is related to Advanced Camera Tools

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Tools\AdvancedCameraTools

It should be located here along with advancedcameratools_main.rbs and 2 folders

I have not this release. I'll install it. Thank you very much!

You're welcome. 😄

Massimo,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will have to try them as well.

Hi Thomas,

Sorry to hear you were having installation issues. It looks like our Help Desk is in touch with you, though. In fact, it looks like Rick in our office has emailed you and is waiting to hear back.

Unfortunately, we are limited as to the hours that we can offer support, but most issues that come in through the website are adressed within an hour (or, if the issue comes in at night, or over the weekend, we try to respond right away the next business morning).

Anyhow, please let em know if you have any issues with our software once you are up and running!

Thanks!
Aaron

I apologize, that should have been FFD free form deformation. Actually, SSD would be smooth subdivide, actually what Blender calls a modifier.

Gotcha'. Thanks.

Thanks Didier,

this is exactly the missing function I was looking for, but it does not work works under sketchup 8...
I posted too quickly and I did not put the script in the right plugins folder (damn Apple...)

Here is how to find it if you use a mac : http://sketchuptips.blogspot.se/2008/03/how-to-download-and-install-plugins.html

It works very well and save me a lot of work!!

Sorry to be slow in responding, but I cannot replicate this problem. SU's Install Extension option works as expected on my Mac which is running the latest version of Mountain Lion.

Hi I will need some more informations to answer, I havn't used it in a long time, at least this version, but I see no reason why it should not work on Mac.

Your 60s seems a lot of segments [try 12!]
Also the offset is 6" - how big is the box ??

I have sent files by attachment, check your email Thomas: It can also happen that your browser may have pop-up screens blocked.

one thing i just request is i hope that it has abit of indication that it display that a paricular link or file is embedded in the component.

My one-liner posted earlier will 'zero' all selected objects so that their bounds.min.z=0...
It will 'destroy' some selected objects like vertical faces, when their edges all get to be 'coincident' on the ground!!
Hence the warning about it being best used on groups/component-instances...

If I ever do anything meant to be useful, but this is an example from the book and is intended to be run in the raw.

Back in the day, Cadence and Cadalyst had columns in each issue wherein the author presented a small-but-useful AutoLisp routine with explanations of what and why. A lot of people got the hang of AutoLisp from those columns. I don't suppose there is something similar for Ruby?
