      Very nice.
      Could you just remember the settings we choosed, at least per session?
      Could you have alook at the fields's parsing orde via tab key?
      And why not a "respect aspect ratio checkbox?
      And why not automatically add the .png extension which not seems to be the case. In fact if we don't specify extension, the image is not generated.

      Wow, will be perfect.... lol

      Thanks,
      Alain

          If you go back to the first page - where you downloaded the .rb file from you will see it says you require a support 'library' of files.
          Use the link to get it, extract it and place its folder into the Plugins folder.
          After Sketchup restarts it ought to find the required files in that folder and so your errors should stop...Capture.PNG

            I'm going to change my template so that plugins will display a more Plain English message that TT_Lib is missing.

                  Hello Thom,

                  This script is very useful.
                  Now when you export a batch of cameras from SU it resets the output resolution to your default 800x600.
                  Is it possible to keep the last output resolution by default? (I mean, if I saved a PNG in 2000x1000, the next output will keep 2000x1000 instead of 800x600)...
                  Thanks anyway.

                  Ryo

                      You can change the code using a text editor.

                        Add mindreader to your list of skills. I just did a two hour search of the forums regarding transparent backgrounds and came across this. THANK YOU!!!

                              I have an update in development - more of a merge, transformation with V-Ray Tools (Don't worry, no V-Ray needed.)

                              CameraTools.png

                              Important new feature is that it tries to make up for the camera shifting that occurs when you set the aspect ratio.

                                Excellent Plugin! The export values are a bit strange but I am just being picky! Thanks for your hard work!

                                    Lately I've experienced that when I export a scene with transparency, in a resolution 4000x3000, I can see the transparency using the standard Windows Image viewer, however, I'm unable to open the png-file in PhotoShop...
                                    It's just saying that it's unable to parse the file... πŸ˜•
                                    Also... I can't see the image if I try to use XnView...

                                    Cheers

                                        Like I said, I'm able to open and see it with the standard Windows Image browser and I can open it in i.e. Firefox as well, but not in Adobe PhotoShop CS5.1 and XnView also have an issue when trying to see it... 😐

                                          OK...
                                          I found a way to make it work...
                                          Open the file with Microsoft Office Picture Manager and export it to a new png-file...
                                          The size will reduce from 37.8Mb to 1.58Mb and I can't see any quality loss... πŸ˜’
                                          Check this https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9887081/Test4Thomthom2.png
                                          I'm able to open the new file in PhotoShop...

                                          Edit: Well... It seem that I need to do something before it works, like use the crop tool and then export it...
                                          The result is that the file size reduces significantly and then I'm able to open it in PhotoShop without any quality loss...

                                            37.8MB for a 4400x2250px PNG image??? That ain't right.

                                            Inspecting your file in a hex editor and it's full of NULL bytes. :s
                                            The plugin leaves the writing for the image to SketchUp. And I've never seen this before.

                                            My first thoughts are that this is a issue local to your machine. Are you for instance saving to a network drive etc?
