Beware though that there are some extensions, eg Podium, which will install into the Program Datatree by default AND DOES NOT WORK if you try to install it into the Users...App Datatree.

excuse me, I forgot the enter key 😞 (I am ashamed) 😕 😕 very thanks

A few suggestions for improvement:

ORBIT VIEW should be a stand alone function outside of SCENES.
It is a valuable tool that can be used often. At present, it is "LOST" in SCENES
for those users that are not aware of its existence.

Sunlight should be noted by its geographic location, is it for Northern or Southern Hemispheres?
A NORTH arrow would assist in checking of the plan against that which is showing.
Often the user will forget to show this on their plan. Option to SHOW or HIDE NORTH ARROW
would be helpful.

Suggest a simpler Font Style for naming Scenes. Current font is not "elegant or gives the look
of quality" Arial is a safe font to use.

LIGHTS should have the option to increase intensity.
The current COLOUR selection is too hard to use, try to use simpler bar sliders with better
control.

SECTION SLIDERS - Is it possible to set AXIS for a specific building's orientation rather than
the AXIS of the PROJECT?

All in all, a very good WebGL Viewer which has the potential to be better.

Thank you T2H for your work!

cool pilou. some tries with Eneroth Townhouse System. Really awesome plugin.

Can you point me to information on "vector graphic system" or "SU's Icon drawer"

Excellent! Thank you for that.

Thanks for the tip of SU4U Slice.
Together with Mirror it works exactly as I wished. 👍

I've tried Thomthom's City Skylines plugin and it seems useful for creating buildings for that game. However I don't know exactly how it would help when making templates for mt plugin. The guides aren't really needed since elements such as windows are arrayed bu Eneroth Townhouse System and not arrayed manually in the template.

Each window is drawn once in the template. The user then set its positioning method to array in part Info and chose interval and margins.

The plugin then automatically arrays the windows depending on the width of the facade.

I was looking for a plugin like that. I had a file with many textures, but most were not applied to any object. When you export a 3DS file for example, the textures that were not applied to any face were not exported.

This Plugin helped me a lot because it exports all the textures that are in the model, including those that are not applied.

Thank you very much.

It works in 2016. Make sure you understand how to use it.

Thanks to sdmitch, though, now I have what I wanted. Thanks a lot!

We want the same! 😉
And if possible for curve too if possible! 🤓

DWG files are proprietary binary files, and therefore much more difficult to parse and extract data.
DXF files are readable ASCII and these are thus relatively easy to parse [ but please don't underestimate the complexity of doing even this ]...

BUT, someone providing a DWG can just as easily provide an exact duplicate DXF version.
Depending on their software, it's either a 'save_as' or 'export' option...
If you 'colleagues' are not as helpful as one might expect of them ! then there are also several converters to help you...
But some are for $$$...
https://client.autocad360.com/
http://askubuntu.com/questions/49100/how-do-i-convert-dwg-to-dxf-with-free-software
http://anydwg.com/dwg-dxf/
http://www.autodwg.com/dwg_dxf_converter/
Do some investigations...

This newer tool [ http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=importDXFtextLabel - with floating 2d text labels ] and its formally recognized 'progenitor' [ my tool - with 3d-text - http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=importDXFtext ] both need DXF files to import the text.

Since these are both 'free' plugins, then you are extremely unlikely to get an unpaid "order of magnitude" improvement in their functionality - especially because you'd just like it to be so, it doesn't make it easy/possible/likely...
If it were so easy to do, then perhaps the authors would have already given you this capability...
Or perhaps offered a paid option for the more involved solution...

Rather bizarre request..
Why one won't just put any desired desktop shortcut instead?

maybe because when sketchup fills your screen entirely, you have to close or reduce the sketchup window to access the shortcut

if the shortcup is inside the sketchup window, you can access it directly

each clic matters...

Just ONE Win+D (Alt+Tab if it's open) hit! And thisrequires a dedicated plugin??
And to pin a File or Folder to the Windows 7 Taskbar won't solve your problem either?
😲

Hello,

I'm planning to download and play with this. I was wondering will it work on curved edges and parts?

Brock

Hand made is the last option for me. i would pay for a working plugin.

thank you again for your fast answer.

Hi TommyK,

This new way is indeed a much better way to tweak component properties. Apparently you are not the only one who have found the native Component Browser cumbersome: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/component-properties

Thanks for a cool and promising plugin:)

Thanks, kiwi. Yes ThomThom's plugin is indeed worth mentioning in this thread.

I must admit I have other distractions at the moment, so development on this is slow. Glue properties are high on my list for this plugin.

It'a not slicer5 or S4U Slice or Tig-cut-to-plane

Nor Zorro.
Thanks anyway 🤢

Ok, thanks for the reply. Yeah I really like Fredo's ' Hide All Edges'.

For anyone else who sees this, I just uploaded the corrected version to the plugin store. Sorry about the error!

Dear all,
I used this little script. Very limited but it insert scenes with intermediate cameras.
Yours

require "sketchup.rb"

Add a menu item

plugins_menu = UI.menu "Plugins"
insert_scenes_menu = plugins_menu.add_item("Insert Scenes") {

Access the Pages container

pages = Sketchup.active_model.pages

check existing pages

if pages.count < 2
UI.messagebox("Needs 2 scenes to be created first.")
exit
end

eye1 = pages[0].camera.eye
target1 = pages[0].camera.target
up1 = pages[0].camera.up
fov1 = pages[0].camera.fov

eye2 = pages[1].camera.eye
target2 = pages[1].camera.target
up2 = pages[1].camera.up
fov2 = pages[1].camera.fov

prompts for number of scenes

prompts = ["Number of scenes to add : "]
defaults = ["10"]
input = UI.inputbox prompts, defaults, "Insert Scenes"
if (input)
insertcount = input[0].to_i + 1
else
exit
end

for i in 1..insertcount - 1
eyetmp = Geom::Point3d.new (eye1.x + (((eye2.x - eye1.x) / insertcount) * i),eye1.y + (((eye2.y - eye1.y) / insertcount) * i),eye1.z + (((eye2.z - eye1.z) / insertcount) * i))
targettmp = Geom::Point3d.new (target1.x + (((target2.x - target1.x) / insertcount) * i),target1.y + (((target2.y - target1.y) / insertcount) * i),target1.z + (((target2.z - target1.z) / insertcount) * i))
uptmp = Geom::Vector3d.new(up1.x + (((up2.x - up1.x) / insertcount) * i),up1.y + (((up2.y - up1.y) / insertcount) * i),up1.z + (((up2.z - up1.z) / insertcount) * i))
fovtmp = fov1 + (((fov2 - fov1) / insertcount) * i)
pagetmp = pages.add(i.to_s)
pagetmp.camera.set eyetmp, targettmp, uptmp
pagetmp.camera.fov = fovtmp
end

}

Thanks for the codes, but i dont understand how does it works.
It will be helpful if you can explain it.
What if i have about 26 scenes, & i want it to be 24fps?
