Perfect.

I've always wanted SU to have a native select untextured faces. I'm surprised it has never been added.

Good one!

You have to update your scenes. If a section plane is visble when you create a scene it will remain visible in that seen even if you hide the section plane. You need to hide it and then update the scene.

If the size of the pattern fits within the printable margins of the paper, it is possible to get it printed on a single sheet. You need to adjust the proportions of the drawing window to be close to the printable area of the paper and then use Parallel Projection, a standard view showing the pattern and Zoom Extents to fill the drawing space with the model. Have a look at the video here.

I've never seen anything like that. When I need to do this sort of thing, I generally do it with Offset and other tools. Too often I find there are places that require more knowledge and decision making than could be included in a script. There is an old G-code extension that draws tool paths that could be used to get you started with a template but Offset doesn't require all the data input.

Ok, Gang, Re-Verified - Icon size large option was checked. I deleted all older extensions, and moved all the newest ones to the proper User....Plugin folder where they should have been all along. Then installed them through the Sketchup extension manager Then I located where all the extension toolbar icons are that are coming in as too small. As mentioned there are a 12x and a 24x png image in each reference folders Here's what the GUESSING BEGINS? (Please let me whats wrong!!!!, probably everything!!!) Im guessing the 12x is linked to the Sketchup small Icon choice and the 24x to the large icon check box? As I dont want to mess with the creators code... I took a 24x icon did a (Save-As) and made a 48x icon in Photoshop. -Because it is more "blurry" I cleaned and sharpened it than saved it into the location of the developers 12x and 24x location. -I am guessing in the code it links to whatever the 12x image is to the small icon choices -And if you check the large icon "box" it grabs and uses the 24x -So since I have limited knowledge, to link the new 48x icon is out of my abilities....but -A can do a (Save-As) of the 24x icon and save it as (24xoriginal) so the paths will ignore it,(And I can put it back if it doesn't work). -Then rename the 48x image as 24x, so setup pathways will pick this 200% larger image. ????? How crazy is this way of thinking? If this does work, am I really screwing up things up? Thanks, Matte

its quite nice, only issue is that I cant draw it wherever I want. It forces me to draw on empty space on different plane. Otherwise nice.thanks

Perhaps he is using AutoDesk's free Skp to Dwg AutoCAD plugin.

Sounds like a mapping issue. Maybe it wasnt set to Environment mapping?

This is a problem with Vray. You should be asking on the Vray forum or better, contact their customer support people.

Thanks for this reply. I will have to play about with proxies in my next model. It's not something I've done before. I've tended to go the route so far of having complex plants, etc. on a layer I open only when looking at or rendering a particular scene. I am no expert, so I'm unsure if that keeps the SU model as light and maneuverable, (with the layer(s) switched off) as having proxies in place. @hornoxx said: Hi Gary and Pixero I´m using Shaderlight as my main render tool but unfortunately it is not able to handle Skatter files so far. I hope that this will change, sometime As long, as Pixero´s DIY Hedges are finished SU files which no longer need any connection to Skatter itself in the background, Shaderlight will be able to render these. Shaderlight's "Replace Me Creator" works fine which makes it possible at least to replace complex geometry by lightweight proxy geometry within SketchUp as seen in this linked example http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40%26amp;t=67665#p620146 Anyway you will probably have to adjust the used textures within Shaderlight´s material presets, so that these present the desired render result. @ Pixero: if possible Gary and I could make a little Shaderlight testing using a small sample file from you? Best

the golden age!

And Selection Hide / Show by Tig ?

hmm - strange indeed is it possible to share a small part of your model (containing landscape, one building etc.) here? Just for testing this issue of course....

You can use the factor 1000 and model without units in m (model settings), no calculations needed.

This is an old post, but I figure if anyone else stumble upon it with the same issue this tip would be quite useful: I have tried out the new plugin "s4u Hide Line" and it does the trick of showing hidden geometry with a click of a button: https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/s4u-hide-line

Hello Alan. ~~Excuse me What is DE Thank you~~ Regards Pedro Edit.... I find DE http://deep-exploration.software.informer.com/ Regards

No one using a Mac Pro?

I'm not sure what other aspects of sketchup may be lost?...But saving as sketchup version 6 or below removes dynamic attributes, retaining the component and sub components.
