Ahhh. i read import. you want export to obj with textures. Then i would recommend ThomThom QuadFace tools. It has a great OBJ exporter with textures.

@McGyver My Main Rule is: all Objects not designed by my self and without permission i dont want use. i use 3d objects only if i have the permission by the designer or redesigner. all permissions was send per email. some permissions was only given, if i write the name in the credits or in the end tile (movie) or end credits. I´m not a person will do to adorn oneself with borrowed plumes. i have no problems to write down all names of developers (Sketchup) some plugins i use very often, other only one time. In the credit i write down the Nickname..if Dev´s dont want that i write down the real name. Mc Giver (Richard Dean Anderson) ?

Standard is Power of 2. only the engines like twinmotion, lumion, LumenRT..etc accept other sizes. A game engine is a little bit different. dont ask me what the difference will be and why. some game engines have guide lines. and the most game engines i know.. accept only 2[sup:2tnqux68]n[/sup:2tnqux68]. and some engines only DDS.

@pixero said: In my test I made a simple cube a group and moved it on top of the first. No components used. Still all horizontal edges were hidden. The groups are instances of the same definition (just like components) until you edit one of them. I think you get correct result if you explode one of the groups and then regroup it, this will make the regrouped group unique. Nevertheless, I need a script like this myself and will try to make a better version as soon as I get time. As pointed out in the other thread, faces should also be hidden by the script in order to prevent bleed through.

@unknownuser said: My C++ code will become multi platform. Windows 32, Windows 64, OSX 32, Android and IOS this is the best solution. your target group will be bigger. i´ll hope that apple provide older versions,too. some new apps will only work on IOS7-8 (IOS7+). i have seen, too, that my downloaded apps drive only on IOS7+. I have try to download this on IOS6 and the itunes store ask me." do you want download the latest version for your IOS?" OK i downloaded. However if i try to download this on an other device (IOS6) from a colleague its not possible. with other words "The early bird catches the worm". I have read..that older devices slow down with newer IOS´s. ok this is normal, some times..is the same on PC and MAC,too. Some Apps could drive on this old device however Apple don't want this really. This is only a good will. If i have pay for the App i can use this with my Device. An other extreme is, that i can´t download all Apps outside of the U.S.A. If i try to search via Webbrowser..some times i can find Apps. If i try to download this via Itunes in an EU-Country... " is not possible to download" or "this App is not available in an European country" etc. The reason is some times, that this App is forbidden in Europe etc. etc. You see we are not global on the globe. other example is YOUTUBE: some videos we can´t see. why? the video producer have music in background that touch music rights in Europe etc...

Oh TIG sorry , I saw now you have to acces it via Ruby console,just searching for icon or menu option , it works very good now thanks,

It really does! I like that plugin and use it, but I did not know that it has such a nice feature. THANKS for the tip!

I know this is a couple of years old but the plugin does not appear to work with latest version of SKetchup Make. Any chance there is an updated version of this plugin anywhere? Would really love to import Gcode files into SKetchup. Thanks!!

thanks, I'll take a look, I was thinking of creating scenes and organising layers later

I'm pretty sure Dave nailed it, when you round inner edges it always skins the hole and it just needs to be deleted. [image: HwTF_Skin.gif]

really thanks TIG, really all the plugins that you have is very useful, thanks so much for your help

ok, just change the number inside the file to 2014

@unknownuser said: it becomes difficult/impossible when you want to create custom parabola/hyperbola reflectors. Draw parabola/hyperbola section? or the result of the rays of the laser ? About Gebra / Algodoo look this thread! You must be French user groups registered! (menu "setting" / User groups... up left page corner )

It works, it works! Great. Thanks

The PluginStore versions is v1.5x ? http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=smartdrop

I just gave it a try. It almost works perfectly. I started on the left. Second from right is the results after running the plugin. Note on the right that the interior faces didn't get hidden. The seams still show because those faces bleed through. [image: Si1X_Hideedges1.png] After manually hiding the internal faces. [image: fVkY_Hideedges2.png] I wonder if it could be made to be one step undo-able, too.

Only discovering SketchUV now, this post more than becomes relevant. Definitely following.

So, I ran sketchup in win7 virtual machine which has IE installed and the pgins installed correctly, so I guess that's the way I'll go, though I prefer it in wine, as the program runs a little faster. I'll play around and try to install ie in the wine version, but at least I can go ahead with thework that needs the plugins. Thanks for the help.

i was thinking of these situations (attached file). of course to view with hidden geometry on. for a human figure, from 3000 edges we go up to 20000 when flat. flattens.zip
