Thanks Mirjman that worked like a charm. Again, Thanks.

That worked great. Thank you very much.

wow you are all too buzy talking about some kludge thing to notice that someone has just announced SU7 release date!! Amazing. Unfortunatley its only relaesed in mountian time, and as mountains move so slowliy I will have to wait millions of years untill it catches up with GMT.

yeah...really slow..haha.. painfully slow.. i will post the result.. but dont expect anything too spectacular

I run a PC so I don't know what this means, hopefully you do. But the standard response to this issue on a Mac is to "trash the plist" or p.list or something like that. That seems to do the trick for most Mac users. Chris

I dont think this is possible in native SU, and i dont know of any rubys fo the top of my head that might help you with this. There might be soemthing out there which i havent heard of, though.

Yes, it´s an exported dwg from archicad. I just don´t know how to export items exploded.

this is also an useful tool, if you work with a tablet: http://www.geocities.com/pronto4u/easyscroller.html a scroll wheel emulator that works pgup and pgdwn keys

Thanks chaps, i'll try a few things

Merged with the post in the ruby forum: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=11205 Please, go on with the discussion there. I leave this very first post here however as a "bookmark" for now as it is so cool!

snojo, this is a great tut on animations http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=654&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=animations

I set the FoV at 60 for all my interior views. Diego is right, it makes a huge difference in being able to see more of the interior.

Hi folks. See this SU file for ideas: Table3.skp

I too think this is purely a hardware issue. I think the other comps are not strong enough to handle the model as well as your computer so they are dumbing it down while they rotate and pan. A way around this is to turn off all uneeded components while rotating and turn them back on once you get in set in place. I ususally use scenes to manage my components and styles. Chris

Nice one! Thanks.

Also note that under 70% of opacity, the window will neither cast nor receive shadows so if you want that figurine to cast the shadow onto it, keep it above 70% opacity.

You can't hide the current layer...which appears to be layer0. Just make an extra "control" layer and make that the current one.

I don't think there are a lot of great options. Here are the one's I can think of. Create the scenes in SU, send them the file, and let them play the animation right in SU. This is probably the fastest, easiest way. Disadvantage is that depending on your model this can make for a pretty jumpy animation plus they have to have SU installed and know how to play the animation. Most user friendly would be to create scenes and do a file->export->animation and save it as an avi file or something that the other person can just click a button and play. Disadvantage is that this can take quite awhile to render the animation (turning shadows off will probably help significantly) You could basically combine those by just running through the scenes in your SU model or even just manually panning around your model while running some sort of screen capture program. This might be the best/easiest solution but the quality may suffer quite a bit so that's the compromise. I also don't know much about the screen capturing software to be able to recommend a good free one. Those are about the only options I can think of. Incidently what I do for animations is I export the animation as a series of .png files and then compile them with Adobe Premiere Elements ($99). Good quality but there's a little be of a learning curve to it if this is a one time thing. It also take a bit more time than just having SU compile everything for you and export it directly as an avi. -Brodie

You mean like: some hidden lines are visible while others are not? I've wanted that a couple of times too.

THOUSAND THANKS Gaieous!!! i really apreciate your help. My best Regards
