    Is there any way to change/delete normals in Sketchup?

          Sorry. This took longer than expected, but here is the video. I hope it is good enough..

          And here is the link to the plug-in I use 😄

          Thanks! Again!

          I will try tomorrow to do what you have done, with some of my models. I did some things right, I have that plugin (there is another different to export to ASE too), but I got lost when trying to put it in the editor. I believe that we are going to have fun with this method... 😉

          This also creates some legal questions. As the engine is free if the cost of the project is below 5000 $; Does it mean that you can freely distribute a 3D engine of your building at a cost of 3.000 $? Or even use it for rendering?

          All my work is for free, but this aspect may be very interesting for a lot of people, here in the forums.

          Perhaps we should have this discussion in this thread, as it is a more general thread, and not your question about delete normals: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=23403#p200768

            Hmm it is free for commercial use. You keep 100% of the first $5,000 you make, then after that Epic want 25% of anymore you make. Which is a fair deal 💚 Your problem in that thread looks like it could be not triangulated, I got that error once in Leadwerks when I didnt triangulate.

            Richard.

                “There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.”

                  I have to look for a ruby script that triangulates as xrok1 says 😄

                  Respect the 5000$, just use it for projects if you earn few money. I was thinking in a Museum, with a virtually reconstructed monument and the childs walking on it, for example. (but without aliens equiped with blasters 😆 ).

                      The name of that exporter is: SU2ASE4RB. You can download it here:

                        I have made an interesting finding: http://www.russelllowe.com/publications/caadria2009/caadria2009.htm

                        Download the zip in "SKETCHUP EXPORTER RUBY SCRIPTS" I will comment it later in the other thread (I am getting crazy with so many threads about this stuff! 🎉 😆
