[Plugin] SceneExporter
-
Just a couple of questions.
Will there be a setting for jpg quality? What is it now, best or middle quality?
Is this as "memory hungry" as SketchUps export 2D-image is for large images? (4000px < ) -
Cheers rick, a very handy script indeed.

Dude, your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...
I was all over it yesterday when I saw the update in the RSS feed!
-
For the free version, it is coded to use anti-alising and the default compression quality setting, whatever that is.
For the Pro version, I've gotten some good testing feedback, and have added options for antialiasing, compression quality, file overwrite notification, and saving the settings into the model & retrieving saved settings. If all goes well, it will be released early next week.
-
this is looking promising, Rick!
Is there a way you could develop a "Scene Organizer" so I can drag-n-drop these 6 scenes before in front of 45 others or quickly add/delete some properties of many scenes at once. ctrl-selecting multiple scenes and quickly grouping them, etc.?! -
I started one, and even thought about combining the two - may do that in the (hopefully near) future.
By way of update, all that's left is to save/retrieve settings in the model.
-
Save/retrieve settings in model is done! A little more testing, and we'll be good to go...

Great Plugin, Rick. Thanks for the freebie! I did find a bug, though. I used some screen text to put a title block in the upper left corner of the screen, but it ends up in the wrong place (often the center of the screen, but not always) in the resulting jpegs. It works fine if I export "by hand" using the menus. Let me know if you want to see either the skippy or the jpgs. CB.

Yeah, I heard about that one. It's an internal SU bug that is overcome by prompting at each scene (!). I'll add an option for prompting and re-upload the freebie. Prompting is already built into the Pro version.
EDIT: Uploaded a revised free version that asks if you want a prompt at each scene. This solves the screen text bug.

SceneExporterPro is now available.

And you have a purchase! Thanks for making life easier.

Is ruby mighty to ask SU, which preferences are collected in scenes?
This would be an other way to export scenes.
I ask this to turn it opposite. I would like to tell SU by ruby script, how to show, what a scene could show.
-
Juju,
Sorry about that. I have repackaged the plugin with the missing file included, so you should be good to go.
Thanks...
-
Thanks for the prompt support. Good to go after re-downloading and re-installing the script.

Hi Rick !
Thank you for this incredible script !Just a problem...
Exporting image hasn't same witdh that the screen image !
The screen : You can see all the drawing. It's a bar
The parameters (perhaps i have a problem with them!)
The image :
You will see that exported image is croped...
I have a 16:10 screen.Have you seen that before ? Can you do smt please ? Or I'm condamned to zoom out all scenes before exporting ?
However that's a very good script!
Thank you !!

Hi Rick. Thanks for the tweak to the free version, but I went ahead and spent the $10 for the pro version. But I'm running into an issue where it resets the image quality back to 100% after every export, even if I "save to model". Also, none of the settings seem to get saved to the model. I reduced the image size to 1024. Then I saved to model. Then close and re-open the model, and the settings revert back to default. I'm running 64-bit vista.

Matt: I have not seen that issue. I will investigate further. Is the current view you show accessed directly from a scene tab, or was it manually set after clicking on a scene tab?
Clark: settings saved to the model need to be activated - did you use the "Restore from model" button to do this? I went back and forth on whether saved settings should be used automatically, and decided not. If there's a consensus, I'll change it. I'll look into the image quality setting issue. I suspect a javascript-ruby translation problem.
