Ok. It looked in the video like the section rotations were real time. I did not get that they were scene transitions. thanks.

Thanks!

Re: SketchUp Warehouse Postby Aerilius » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:04 am Hi, have a look at this: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/sketchup/thread?tid=74deeae241b00f82%26amp;hl=en In general, the purpose of 3d warehouse is sharing and the ToS imply that what you want to do is allowed. For a detailed and correct interpretation of the Terms of Service, you would need an attorney. Best is always to ask each modeler to be sure if he is ok with redistribution (you can contact the owner by clicking on the model page on the envelope icon next to the author's name). 0 Aerilius PluginStore Author PluginStore Author

OK. I updated my profile. I'm using SU Make 2015.

ThomThom wrote in "forum.sketchup.com":"......but the API doesn't provide any control over them. @tyler_miller - got the history behind this oddball of an entity?" Is there any news yet? Some related questions that may expand the use of these 3D Polylines: Can edges be converted into (i.e replaced by) components containing one single edge per component. One "single edge" component with scaled versions replacing all the edges in a selection. Next step would be to replace this component (and all its scaled instances by a "single segment" 3D Polyline component, scaled likewise per edge component. This component with standard length, say 1m is already an "In Model" component. This would allow replacing a wireframe by a 3D Polyline version that doesn't interfere with the inferencing engine and serves as a visual reference. Some examples: -1) visual marks in a model, easy to spot (whether accompanied by a guide point or not) each with its own color, even with edges colored all the same. -2) visual referens of axes in a different color (for color blind people) -3) symbols that are visible in the model but don't interfere with what you are modeling (no snap to) (Mike Lucey at SketchUcation once mentioned working on symbols, using edges and faces. But the cursor keeps snapping to real geometry). example: 2D vegetation. -4) accurately dimensioned (scalable) visible circle or curve, not interfering the inferencing engine. -5) though limited, two styled in the model, say straight 3D polylines plus a sketchy style. -6) maybe some other options. If replacing edges for "single segmented" 3D Polylines through plugins as mentioned above isn't possible, -1) trough -5) is still possible but very laborious, some more than others. edited: -6) completely transparent hatches opposed to faces textured with hatches. -7) (3D)text, visible though not in the way when modeling.

Thanks a lot! It works!

Yes, Bundles is an excellent feature.

Ah yes, that was it! Had it set to architectural, not fractional. Thanks!

Oh my. Glad I looked at this. It appears use of the contextual "Put on Layer" is moving all nested components and RAW geometry to that layer! Really? I never... So this contextual place on layer is a plugin by Dik Harrison. I don't recall ever having loaded this plugin. But I have always had it... (I freshly uploaded plugins for 2015, one by one) The SCF manager gives the plugin a date in 2013 (too old) but the info is all older than that. I'll just stay away from this.

I can open in CAD but not SU. When I import from CAD to SU the process is very slow and the scale seems off. That may be the issue, the CAD file scale might be off. the trees drip line looks to be 98 fee across--but I have no knowledge of the original file or units. Check the scale in the CAD file. Anyway exploding the blocks is a good idea.

@dave r said: Still struggling with those screwed up axes from your poorly created CAD file, huh? Yeah, I was running out of time. It was too late to make a fresh cad file with all the axes correct and then do Sketchupping again. That's why I was desperate for the plugin. But phew..I'm done with the work. I made a sketchup model for a 32 acre site which was the largest one I've ever worked upon. The funny part is that I never cared about axes in Autocad for 8 years or so (the same time I've been working with sketchup). And things went really well in sketchup. But now in 2014-15 I faced this really big trouble.

thank you

@Miguel There is Service Pack 3 to suit v2015 64 bit, http://www.vray.com/vray-for-sketchup/buy-vray-for-sketchup.html Have you these latest files installed ? Have you contacted the Vray support guys ?

Start off by clearing everything, by using: model = Sketchup.active_model model.entities.clear! then purge the model using: model.definitions.purge_unused model.active_layer=model.layers[0]; model.layers.purge_unused model.materials.current=nil; model.materials.purge_unused model.styles.purge_unused ds = model.attribute_dictionaries; ds.to_a.each{|d| ds.delete(d) } if ds Now you have an empty SKP. Try doing the import AND export within a model.start_operation(...) block, BUT do not ' commit' it, rather you need to ' abort' it after each one. That way the import happens, the export happens but the changes to the model are undone by each ' abort'. The exported file is NOT undone by the ' abort' !

Read the WebDialog pages in the API... There are also many freely available scripts in the PluginStore etc, using WebDialogs, where you can read the RB, HTML and JS etc, to see the 'callback' code format...

Yep, that was the Point!! Many thanks!

Digging up an old thread... The reason for this is that, like with forced 2-point perspective in sketchup, when you zoom in on a matched photo it is not a true 3d zoom like in a normal view. In order to keep the perspective the same, sketchup is effectively cropping the view. If it let you zoom in normally, it would change the perspective (the zoom tool effectively moves the camera towards whatever you're zooming in to). The way round this would be to 'zoom in' in the sense that a zoom lens on a camera zooms in - by changing the field of view. This can be done by typing in a focal length in mm into the input box when you're in the zoom tool, or by holding down shift and then zooming. Give it a try, let me know if it helps!

@juju said: thinks to myself maybe Box should apply for moderator status, or else try to phrase things in a friendlier way Box is a Top SketchUcator.. he just doesn't wear his badge adding- this actually could be a bug.. not likely but there's still the possibility. he's saying autosave is set to 10minutes but there's no file?
