      João,
      thank you for reporting us with any problem.
      Actually this one sounds new to us.

      There can be two main reasons for the plugin behaving like this.
      The first is that you or SketchUp are aborting in some way the exporting process.
      The other is that your PC or Operative System is doing something wrong (What is your OS? Which version of SketchUp?).

      To make a check, try to load a model from the SketchUp 3d Warehouse and come back to us, keeping in mind that the time limit of the demo will not allow a proper visualization of a too much complex model.

      In case, don't hesitate to send us by email the model you have been trying.
      Thank you again
      Regards

      Graziano

        Dear Graziano,

        I was testing the plugin with a very simple model (a 2x2x2 meter cube).
        So this is not an issue.

        My Sketchup version in 6.0.515 on a Windows XP.

        Best regards,

        João

          Dear João,

          to our knowledge there is nothing wrong with the plugin as well as with the version of SketchUp you have been using. Therefore there must be something in your computer settings that makes the plugin work this way.

          Something like that could also take place sometimes when you are using an account which does not grant you the right privileges on your OS. Are you accessing SketchUp as an administrator? If not, try it out.

          Best regards

          Graziano

            Hi Graziano and Inglobe Team

            A short question : I bought a brand new computer last week. Could you tell us how to transfer the licence to that new computer ?

            Thanks for that incredible program.

              Dear MALAISE,
              there are two possibilities to transfer a license from a machine to another:

              1: by uninstalling a registerd version of the plugin: by doing so, after the unistallation process, you'll be automatically provided with a "Release ID" that will be copied into the clipboard. Then you need to paste that ID in the online license manager in order to have your license available again for another installation

              OR

              1. by simply running your local license manager on the machine with the registered version, and:
                a) clicking the "Release a License" button
                b) confirming your intention to release the license (by clicking on "yes")
                c) copying to the clipboard the generated "Release ID"
                d) pasting the "Release ID" on our online license manager in order to have your license available again for a new activation

              If you need further assistance do not hesitate to write. Regards.

                  Dear tpjonckh,
                  the new update only contains a minor improvement of the licensing interface.
                  Thank you

                    Dear all,
                    today we have uploaded an update of the ARplugin (29th January, 2009) and of the documentation which includes an upgrade that will surely be of some interest to many of you.

                    The upgrade consists in a functionality which improves objects stability in bad circumstances.
                    As some of you might have noted, in some circumstances you may see your model a bit trilling. This can be due to different reasons, just like the distance between the camera and the marker and a bad adjustment of camera parameters (brightness, contrast etc.), just to mention some.
                    With this upgrade now you can reduce this undesired effect simply by pressing the key "a".

                    You can download both the updated version and documentation from the usual webpage

                    404 Not Found

                    favicon

                    (www.inglobetechnologies.com)

                    For those who bought a license we have prepared a patch that will be available very soon on the same page. By using the patch you won't need to repeat the license activation procedure. So, keep checking our website for updates.

                    Regards

                    Graziano

                      This is soooo cool! I got it working, using my own Sketchup model. Great stuff.

                      However, the plugin crashes after, say 20 seconds. Anywhere I can report this to the developers?
                      I'm running Windows XP on a MacBook Pro, using the built-in webcam.

                      Does anyone know how to record this, besides running a screen-capturing program?

                      Cheers,
                      Siebe

                        Crashes after 20 seconds or just stops? It is set to run for a short time then turn off. That way you can see what it does and it should entice you to buy the plugin if you want the full functionality (and it won't stop after 20-30 seconds).

                        Chris

                          With regards to animation, we can also think to animate the model. ARmedia allows animation, but it must implemented in association to Sketchup.

                          So is it possible to create a sketchup animation in augmented reality? I am specificlly interested in object animation using morisdov's 'proper animation' plugin. i.e. I would like to make a block move from point A to point B in augmented reality. Is this possible with the current release?
                          Thanks

                          I want to create something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtpZLOrijW8&feature=PlayList&p=6D5B6278B032272E&playnext=1&index=1

                               I like very much the way we see the building made stage by stage. I agree you, hopefully we'll soon have this motion implementation in ARplugin . Fantastic Youtube sequence!

                              This is a very interesting topic, as we have been implementing animations in our development framework from the beginning. However the extension of animation from our framework to SketchUp is not straigthforward. We plan to extend these animation capabilities to a future release of the ARPlugin, maybe sooner than later.

                              In the meanwhile, we have got our ARplugin to work on MAC OS X. Now, I can anticipate a beta release in the near future.

                                Great news, let me know if you need some help on this. I'm on Mac 1.5

                                Does the Win license work also on Mac? Or do we need a second one?

                                    I have seen your models of Bergen op Zoom from another thread about Google Earth models and I have been impressed.
                                    Have you seen ARsights(http://www.arsights.com)? What do you think about it?

                                      I just downloaded the BETA version for Mac OS and I realize that the possibilities are almost endless. I did have a slight bug to report. When using a secondary monitor, after the 30 second trial is over, the plug in crashes. When I use the laptop without the extended monitor, the plug in does not crash after the 30 second trial.

                                      Please release this BETA version soon. I just bought a license but I realize I can only download the Windows OS version. How much longer before the Mac version is released?

                                        Dear rolcor,
                                        thank you very much for your feedback.

                                        To my knowledge this bug should have been resolved by the latest version of the ARplugin for MAC.

                                        With reference to the Full version release, I can anticipate that it will occurr probably this week. In the meanwhile you can activate your license for Windows XP or Vista (if you have also a Windows PC) and then shift to MAC, as it is always possible to move a license from Windows to MAC, and conversely from MAC to Windows.

                                        Best Regards

                                          good news for MAC users.

                                          ARmedia Plugin is now available also for MAC OSX 10.5

                                          Some new features have been implemented such as the toggle full-screen mode and better real-time rendering optimization.

                                          You can download the free trial from the usual link

                                            This plugin looks very interesting. But has anyone tried how it works with large scale projects such as houses, museums, ecc..?
                                            Would make me crazy the idea to insert a big project into its natural context and navigate it.
                                            Is it possible with this plugin?
