Does OBJ support views/cameras?
i don't think so, i was suggesting perhaps a new or modified importer based on the obj importer that could properly handle 3DS.
does someone care to do Googles job for them yet again?
Exactly, way beyond tired of waiting for Google.

Thomas,
Bonzai3d also supports cameras via DWG format (although Autodesk automatically turns on clipping). If you uncheck this option (if you have such an option in SketchUp) then you should be able to get the view to match this way as well.
However, I don't see anything in SketchUp's scenes after importing a DWG file that includes (views or scenes). Perhaps the question "How to import views to SketchUp" is a question for the main SketchUp forum?
Will look into that. The DWGs I've seen this with has been exported from Revit.

HEY! dwg worked! it created a new scene tab that seems to match except that B3D and SU seem to not agree where the origin is. try it out!
-

Speaking of toolbars - I was having some trouble arranging the B3D toolbars today. Accidentally moved one of them and it suddenly appeared underneath another one. Tried to move it back - and I got a strange feeling of SU-toolbar-déjà-vu. They didn't seem to stay where I dropped them.

seem to work alright for me.
love the fact that you can detach the flyout toolbars.
i really think that this:
should be the default though, for a while i could'nt figure why i had to rearange my tools to my liking everytime i started.

This is the setting for bonzai3d. Does anyone knows if there is a similar option for sketchup? Each time I add a new plugin, everything gets messed up and I have to rearrange all my icons when I start sketchup.
Thanks.

sorry, this is the age old question. i'm afaid you, and everyone else is SOL when it comes to this issue!
maybe there will be a couple users left by version 8 who can enjoy fixed toolbars!
MAYBE... -
Rocky,
I was not able to get the view into SketchUp -- but you may know something about SketchUp that I don't...
Regarding bonzai3d preferences, the palette locations AND the tool options are stored in the System General: Preference file (or Previous Session settings). Personally, I don't like the Previous Session option, as it can cause tools to behave differently every time you launch bonzai3d (if you are changing tool options and then quitting). Personally, I like to launch with Default Prefs, change anything and everything I can think of, Save a Preference File, quit, and relaunch once more -- and then exactly the preferences (and only the preferences) that I want will be saved.
Does this help?

@bonzai3d support said:
Jeff,
We have found that as you get close to the limits of what fillets can be generated, bonzai3d may not allow them to occur when you are doing these as 2d fillets. If you extrude the shape after it has been joined, you should then be able to apply a 2d Round to the desired segment, and derive the bottom edge to get what you want.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, we will get this corrected so that you can apply the same fillets in 2d as you can with rounding in 3d.
i'm a dunce
i cannot figure this out...are you saying to first extrude like this:
or like this?
if it's either of those two, it's not working for me..

@bonzai3d support said:
Rocky,
Your second example (extruding horizontally) is the right way -- and you should then use the Round tool on (only) the horizontal segment that is visually close to the (green) Y axis.
If you are having any further trouble with this, please email your BNZ file to support@bonzai3d.com so we can get you a more specific answer.
that was jeff. -

For the origin, make sure you set the options to preserve the drawing origin.
I tried to export. I do get a new scene. But the view don't match.
xrok1: That thing you thought was related the the camera, when you select it, the Entity Info window says direct. Think it refers to a lightsource.
-
Regarding the matching views: my bad! I had saved the view before changing it for export.
This looks promising.
-
Rocky,
Yes, that is a graphic representation of the light source, and may be deleted if you don't want it. (It imports as an actual light source to programs that support it.)

Onto another topic: can you have Hidden lines ontop of a background image? would be useful for photomatching.
