Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for your fast answer TIG. Regards,

Hola, Que bueno saber que personas que hablan español visitan este sitio. Muchas gracias!

@trogluddite said: I wonder if that could be useful too for your sky system - allowing a folder of styles with indexed names to be installed alongside your plugin, so that all the necessary visual settings are automatically available. AFAIK, this is something that can't be done with scenes, as they are specific to a particular model. Hi, This defenetly sound like a very usefull feature! Not sure if having multiple styles preloaded on to pages is less eficiant in maneging memmory & cpu than loading styles from external file. I say this because there is a point when you are creating animations were lag start to become an issue and if your proposed way of loading styles is better then I am all for it. Another thing that I will like to know is if loading styles the way you propose can have a transition time of 5 sec for example to blend from one to another like you do with pages? Cheers

I think you are asking how to install this plugin? I believe there is a link to an external website or hosting site and you must download from there. Looks like it may be "caleidos4d.blogspot.com"

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`

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

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

@mitcorb said: 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.

@gade said: Hello, i'm very interested into your plugin but it's not working on my computer... is it possible to use your plugin with mac ? i have sketchup 8? please help me to use your plugin i would like to make a model ...

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