Interacting with a Sketchup file from another program

Hi pigbite,
I think you are talking about the following tool:

Hmmm, nice Bavarian "Dirndl" indeed
If I decide to change my avatar, I´ll ask for your advice -
Your avatar is fine. And I can feel you are not going to change it for another one so easily
Am I wrong?
Here is just in case ( please feel completely free to not use it ) a one I have chosen for you. (I haven't found something with exactly the same spirit as yours)
Cheers, simon

Hey those are nice jugs....of beer I mean

I do not think there is a way to work with SketchUp the way you are describing. There is the SDK that allows you to work with the model, but not SketchUp.
A possibility that does come to mind though is that I think you might be able to export images of the model through the SDK. So maybe you could allow the user to enter their data. THen your app could alter the model according to the user's data. And it could export images for each frame. You would probably have to manually alter the model for each frame. Then export each image, and write your own viewer to turn those images into an animation.
I'm not sure its possible, but it sounds plausible to me, though its a bit of a workaround I think.

Now back to Sunpaths. The SunTools plugin has caused some conflicts with other programs I believe Thea is one. I have used it before with good results but never on a webpage. There was a website that had this very thing, I'll see if I can find it as I posted it's location on another forum once.
PS (Sorry about the beer "Stein" hijack) -
Hey dale, it says Error 404 - File Not Found. Where do I find that?
Oh, and cheers, Simon! -
Here is a link to the site mentioned above.

I don't know if it will be of any use for what you are asking, but it's a cool little tool, so I thought I would post it.Cheers

I think I fixed the link, it works on mine now. Sorry.
Nice avatar!!!!! -
Thanks! Yes, it works here, too.

I think the original poster got scared off. Hopefully he'll come back. This was an interesting topic.

Come on Chris, it is not a big disturbing, just a little be-bop-bump of happiness.
It seems that Pigbite had registered mainly to find an answer to this specific question. As I was thinking he was going to miss the answers, I had send him a PM to tell him about my answer (1001shadows). And the message had been read. So he has surely read also your reflexion around the subject (using SDK (software development kit)...which is too much for me
)I now shut my mouth. ++simon.

Oh I'm not really that worried about the off topic. He'll come back if he wants I suppose.

I think you could so something like this with Hypercosm.
We are working on letting a Sketchup model (well an export of that model) evolve in time on a webpagesome pics of the alpha stage:
-
I think the answer is to export as Collada (.DAE,) and have the website use the Google O3D plugin. (Manipulation and User Interaction is done via Javascripting.)
