    @einstein said: Does anyone know how to install and find Smustard's Camera Controls toolbar? The folder I downloaded contains RB files. I put the entire folder into SketchUp plugins folder but I'm not sure it's the proper way to do that. When I googled CameraControls, there appeared a thumbnail of a movie tutorial on smustard's webpage but I cannot open it. Do yourself a favor and do not install plugins in that manner anymore. Go the the .RB file, create a zip archive with it selected, rename .ZIP suffix to .RBZ

    @halikd said: Hi I use sketchup 2020, is it possible to upgrade Sketchy FDD to this version? Plugin doesn't work as it should. Anyone can help? It works as expected for me in 2020 and 2021. This is in 2020. [image: HdKR_Screenshot-3_13_20218_21_34PM.png] What are you expecting it to do that it doesn't? Keep in mind the author stopped updating it in 2013. It's unlikely that it'll get any updates but as far as I can see it doesn't need to be updated.

    Used those. Did not obtain satisfactory results. That's why I was here asking the question I asked. ThruPaint works fine for some applications, but not all of them, and SketchUV has always been a nightmare to use. I admit I haven't tried Wrapr, bu then $. I guess what I should have asked was not so much about surfaces as about projecting to individual polygons, by those polygon's normals. As far as the blending of textures, it's possible, and it's been done, in TW Render's terrain tools. Unfortunately, that is only for top down elevation change applications with terrain / vegetation / ground cover. There's nothing else quite like 3d modeling and rendering to humble a person, just when they start feeling like they understand things

    @pbacot said: I like the stored parameters, But I'd also save the sizes. I don't want to manually make a 3080 door everytime. It's not going to be in increments, it's always going to 3080. Windows might be in increments of 2", but really for most projects there are only a few window sizes and those are plugged in repeatedly. Window head parameter would be nice, where you don't have to line up the window head each time. Actually door head too, so you don't have to set to the floor level, it automatically goes in at the correct place in relation to the floor. That's why I wondered what the 2 point placement was about. I wouln't use a tool that way, given the chance. Layout should be able to snap opening centers from a floor plan layout overlay OR use SU guides or offset from the end of walls. I see there are two different design methods here. My initial use for this plugin was to provide windows and doors into the rough openings created by the Wall Plugin. As such the positioning of the opening is set by the wall plugin and not by this plugin or module. However, if you are using this plugin as stand alone then the ability to position the opening and set the RO size becomes important. Also the ability to cut holes in exsitin Two different uses. I will need to give this more thought.

    This is a very old Plugin. It has issues with all current versions, and v8 which is no longer supported... I suggest you try my SolidSolver or thomthom's SolidInspector² ?

    There is an old ruby script by Bakbek that lets you get as well as set camera and target positions. It is called camera_parameters.rb. Regards, wehby

    PLusspec is still more expensive per year than Archicad and Vectorworks (and only has a fraction of their capabilities)---and if we decide not to renew, we have no software to work with. Sell us a station, then let us decide if we want to upgrade every year. If we don't, at least we have last year's model to continue working with (if it was a stable version). There are still users producing solid work with SKP 8, and I have last year's version (20) of Archicad which I can use, if I wish, for the next 20 years at no ongoing cost. I paid once for the licence. I own it. It is entirely my choice if I wish to upgrade to 21. In the face of your costing hi-jacks as a BIM puppy, your glowing mea-culpas are tiresome.

    Unfortunately, I did buy it in March. After a new installation of Sketchup, I tried to buildedge again, and discovered that it isn't available. I'm really sorry I wasted my money.

    TIG, still getting problems here. On more complex production files, the routine ends up bogging down hard, prompting the option to abort the script. On "nested" layers geometry is butchered so that solids are not retained, only bringing in line segments. At least named components in layers do work. I am attaching a "simple complex" file that does work as far as finishing the routine, however, on a large scale file, the process bogs down to untenable, and I have yet to sit through a full cycle of the script running...

    Hi everyone, Is the script supposed to work with 'skp' extension too? I am on Skethup Make 17, *dae and *kmz are exporting correctly but is there any way to save a native skp file by layer? The console reports: X files exported by layer, as 'skp' altough there is nothing in the model folder. Thanks a lot for the help! Andrea

    @mariocha said: To Mac users: Sierra & High Sierra. Finally tracked down that occasional (sometime often) SU 'Hang on quit' problem. (beachball & force quit) Occurs every time one of Fredo's configuration dialog is opened during a session. I've had problems primarily with SUClock. It not only hangs on quit, but it then has to be disabled manually before re-launching or it splats on launch. The problem has been intermittent, so I haven't noticed if it's related to opening the configuration window. I will check it out though. Thanks for the info. (will also update to the latest LibFredo, which will hopefully obviate the need to figure it out)

    @fredo6 said: @panixia said: I have a little request, if possible/not too hard: can you add an option to preserve/create quads? Curviloft and Trupaint already support it and can be integrated really well in a quad/sub-d workflow.. Having JPP with same capability would be a dream! I think there is the option, but for Normal PushPull. Not sure it makes sense for the other tools. Fredo I'll try to put togheter a simple example to show you why i think that could make sense both with NPP and regular JPP. edit: I noticed this tread is about outdated version, so I posted my example here https://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=54771&p=626639#p626639
