Team Edit updated to v0.1.4. It now works on PC!

(funny no one told me until now - thanks to Near 2010 for the report)

I feel a bit ashamed here, but I haven't tried Team Edit yet. I'm just in the middle of a project and can't change the procedure now. I guess a simple example would be interesting... As soon as I have some time I will try it as fully as I can.

Don't worry! Try it out at your pleasure. It shouldn't be used in a production environment yet anyway. Simply put, the more feedback I get, the more reliable it will get.

John, Generate Report is not specific to the Outliner. You could still generate a report without using Outliner. Outliner is just a textual look at the model and it's component/group hierarchy.

I'm not a Mac user for years...
There is a MacOS portage of Qhull. There is some one to port the Qhull plugin on MacOS with it ?

Fredos push pull did the trick. Thanks.

I did come up with something but it wasn't the easiest. Then I got onto another project and haven't returned to this.

This is definitely one of the best animating plugins IMO and hope it continues developing

Ok, here goes. This thread has gone off the rails..........

I agree! Lets move on.

Not forgetting... that the file you add into the Plugins folder, must be called something like " SDM-expsel2jpg**.rb**" - in order for it to auto-load as SketchUp starts... AND also, equally importantly, it must be encoded as " UTF-8_without_BOM".
On a PC - Notepad.exe will NOT do this - it will be encoded as ANSI, this will break SketchUp >v8 !
But if you have a free tool installed like Notepad++.exe - then that will either encode its as you need [depending on the app's settings], OR you can at least change the file's encoding to suit using menu items.
On a Mac, TextEdit/ TextWrangler should pre-encode the file as you need...

Great plug-in idea. However, I discovered a problem when working with one of my dynamic components when your plug-in is loaded. I started getting hard crashes of Sketchup when I change a parameter that changed the number of copies of a subcomponent. It is so bad that the bug-splat screen doesn't even display. Unloading your plug-in fixes the problem for me. I can send you the dynamic component if it will help.

I am using the Sketchup Pro 15.3.331 64-Bit.

Of course yes 😉

Curves and surfaces can be saved to 3DM, IGES, STEP, and SAT formats. A hidden line drawing can be saved to the PDF, AI, or DXF formats for printing or transfer to 2D illustration or 2D CAD programs. Polygon mesh data can be saved to OBJ, STL, 3DS, LWO, FBX, and SKP formats.

@unknownuser said:

MoI supports reading in curve and surface data from 3DM, IGES, STEP, and SAT files. 2D curves can be opened from PDF and AI files, and curves and drafting entities like lines, circles, and arcs can be opened from DXF files.

Moi can import Sat then export in SKP file! 😄
Just a detail: if you have not a "single object" but numerous objects named inside Moi prefer the 3DS format against SKP format for Sketchup!
In Sketchup Explode one time the result!
Like this you can have many components named object 01, object 02 inside Sketchup!

And use the Comparaison components by Thomthom for reconstruct similar components as "Instances" if you have starting stricly identic compoenents!
(because Moi has not yet instances ! ) 🤓

And you have now the inverse!
You can import OBJ file then subdivide it in Moi! 😉

SKetchup -->obj By Tig for free version of Sketchup
Import OBJ --> Moi by Max Smirnov
Export OBJ from Moi (Quad + Triangle) 😄 By Michael Gibson
Import OBJ --> Moi by Max Smirnov
Subdiv Max Smirnov

Not Ngones!

Hi guys, tried this plugin again since quite a while. Im still runnin gold SU 8. For me on mac the plugin 'crashes' a lot. with low numbers it works until i try it from about the 3rd time. The mesh start to flikker and SU stops working.

im running os 10.6.8, its a old lady

@cadfather said:

yes, i posted the code so you'd be sure of the one i used.

notice i took out the '../' from the 2 folders paths (start of script) - which made the script look in the directory above to the comps folder. (so it only works on su8)

if you put the folders in the same directory as the script it works. at least it does for me (check the case matches too)

need to look more into to see why it doesn't when you change the path to full (ie. "c/Program Files/SketchUp...etc etc)

OK now i understand
it works for me also
muchas gracias 😄
i shall try to change the path too...

Hi Larv,
Sorry for the late answer, did not see you question before.
Probably you alredy found the answer.
When you place grass, it is added to model in proxy mode (only skeleton lines).
You need to redraw your tree/plants to get them in full mode and they will be rendered.
You can switch back with one click to proxy mode once rendered, to keep your model not so big and not to slow while working on other parts of your model.
Yours
Pascal

this plugin.

I'm not au fait with 'Fur'.
Perhaps it doesn't like 'Scaling' of components ?
😕

I am still having a devil of a time trying to get this to work. I would like to set o set up an SU 2015 (B folder) for just testing plugins without effecting my current Su 2015. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi Keith,

You are a genius! As you suggested to me, I erased files and everything works normally.

Once again thank you for your intervention!

Yes, Fredo, I think it would be very worthwhile to release it as standalone plugin.

Yes, with the native FollowMe you need the profile face to be square to the first segment of the path.
My ExtrudeEdgesByFace will actually do that for you [doh!] 😒
