Good Day to Thee

I am new on this forum but I have been enjoying working with SketchUp for over 1 year now. I found some very useful plugins here recently and decided to join ...
Hope I might even be useful ...

I may have spoke to Early, I got 1 file to Load but now I try to load my new xmf file in the previewer and it doesn't take. In the SketchUp Users Group it says that it won't work with 8, the first one i did loaded as a Mesh, so i don't understand why this won't. This is the link to the Previewer where it needs to load http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14571558/InstallPreviewer_372.9-20070514.exe Also there is an Updater which takes it to a current version http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14571558/IMVUPreviewerUpdater.exe If this is an Ongoing Issue for Present and Future SketchUp users perhaps there is a Need to Update the Plugin or redesign it for the Future SketchUp users...I have the feeling that AS will not be doing so ~Peach~

Here is an Acompanying Link where they explain the Meshing process involved http://www.imvu.com/creators/education_center.php?tutorial_id=2225474 ...If SketchUp is to remane Viable as a Tool to IMVU Meshers There needs to be a Resolve to the issues involved. If anyone is game to Help us out with a File Conversion Plugin for IMVU that will take us to the Present and future of IMVU i know there will be a LOT of Greatfull PPL ~Peach~

IMVU Tries to Make its self User Friendly to Creators, Of ALL the 3D Modeling programs Available [3D Max,Maya,etc.] SketchUp is Reasonably the Most Hands on user Friendly Program Available, Creators Like Me Want the Ability that SketchUp Offers, I hope My Appeal has brought the Situation to Clairity. I am forced to go to SketchUp 7 to get benefit of the MeshOut Plugin and as I have 8 PRO I hate the Idea ~Peach~

This is a Current post by Sintek in his Group and He is a SketchUp User and Helps with it for others

oh and v8 of sketchup is not good, v 6 or v7 are the best with meshout ~Peach~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y6Rn3CusRc&feature=youtube_gdata for those who use sketchup for imvu i made a tutorial at the end of last year which shows you from start to finish and even importing it to imvu. the video is under 6 minute but very easy to follow, if you would like to know anything else dont be afraid to contact me

mingjae · 25 Feb 2011, 14:45

hi it's me again,
until today, I have watched some tutorial video in youtube which suggested here. thx

there also a problem I could not solve, maybe you can help me?
it's a simple problem, just want to make a ramp, but a "J" shaped ramp,
I tried curvishear plugin but it seems not much help.

this is the priview:

i explode it and clean all the lines inside the ramp and push a little, and then select one edge line and move it in Z direction (it works if only straight ramp, not j shaped)

could somebody help me?

mitcorb · 25 Feb 2011, 16:06

Hi, mingjae:
For some reason, I cannot see your image preview. Could you post again?

mingjae · 26 Feb 2011, 09:18

umm sorry, here it is:

I can make a ramp if its not a "J" shaped (see section pic).
I want to make a ramp from level A to level B, can you help me
(it doesn't matter if the lines inside is clear)

thx
