For the PDF export control of ambient light and specular reflection is possible.
Thanks to Amer I can use it too (no clue about JavaScript myself).

Thanks Gaieus!! You're a life saver! 😄

very very nice dear...... 👍

Lol...it happens 😄
I'm pretty sure he doesn't use many plugins so when in doubt think of the deafult tools. 😛

very very nice ......
thanx for this tutorial....
keep sharing like this.....

Wondering is there would be a way to create a ruby that could take a model or a selection of faces and turn all polys into quads? This would really help me for one to create smooth lower poly meshes.

11zulu, you are welcome.

Pleasure mate, I know the question has arisen a fair few times so better to make a full explanation.

Well Simon you have class.

Unfortunately in my case the "Cl" in class is usually silent. 😄

Thanks Kurt. I am glad I can help. Happy New Year!

Hi,
Problems with texturing such curved (or irregular) surfaces have been discussed several times already, like here for example.
Apart from texture projecting or wrapping, you might want to consider Dale's UVTools 2: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=23725
His SDS2 plugin - which isn´t available yet - is coming with a new feature - Paint Brush.
Also posting a screenshot or a model itself would be a good idea.

No problem. If you wanted to optimize a little more, then instead of 2 ends components, one with a DC copy would work.

If you had needed the hole diameters to be dynamic, that would be a little more challenging.

Thanks mac1. Glad I could help.

Joe...

i had either followed a link from here or from sketchup artist. it has been quite a while. this is sort of a try to find it.

i disticly remmeber the green trees and sketchup boxes.

Thank you so much, I'll have a look!

Note that these 3D trees work perfectly (without poly reducing) in Kerkythea or Thea. You will need to adjust the materials though but than after saving, they are just fine.

Hi good tutorial...and i'm french...good works...really
Thanks..
i can help sometimes if you want... 😉

You could only do so if all its parts were valid, solid groups/components, too. When this tool came out, I tried with a couple of my models and they all failed. 😆

Indeed YT does not allow "updating" of what's uploaded. So make sure you upload a final version.

Ask Coen where they are.
