      Hello,

      I have used ghost plug in to make proxy out of original object..
      I have kept object in proxy format and exported it to kerkythea.
      When i render it in kerkythea proxy object rendered without material why so?? Do we have convert the back to original form before exporting it into kerkythea every time??

      Also i have some issues regarding camera in kerkythea. i have placed 3 cameras in the scene and have exported to kerkythea, but whenever i open the scene, i could not find the camera on the same location i have placed it? is it any kind of bug in kerkythea?? or there is some problem in my SU and kerkythea or somthing else?? ple help

      Regards,
      MANDAR

        Yes, I am afraid you do. Ghost Components plugin can only solve performance issues in SU but it would not work as a proxy plugin for exporters. Certainly it could be modified somewhat (and/or the exporter plugin could accommodate) but for that, the two, different authors of the plugins should co-operate on one that works this way.

        But then all the other renderers could ask the same.

              Wow! What a great plugin... ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜

              I can not thank you enough to make this possible on sketchup... Where have I been so far to miss this wonderful plugin. SU Team surely should incorporate this in SU native version. I believe they will put this in the new Trimble Sketchup... Great work Fredo!!! and thanks once again....

                Thanks for this! Iยดve only had a short test/peek/session w this RB. It seems super useful!

                I had one problem, though: I saved the model when in ghost mode and closed the program. When I opened the same model later I couldnยดt reset the geometry to the complex form. I just saw the ghost. Have anyone else had similar experiences?

                      Have you activated its Extension from within Preferences.
                      You might also then need to activate its Toolbar...

                              In your list there's 'GhostComp%201' what's that ?
                              Looks like an html based name ?
                              There ought to be a folder called 'GHOSTCOMP_Dir_10'
                              containing these files Capture.PNG This suggests you has mis-installed it...

                                  Hello Fredo, thanks for another great plugin. So I startet to use it and it worked just fine. I've lots of railings in my model, some are just copies of components but I also had to make a bunch of them unique and to tweak them. Finally making even one copy of an component took so long I decided to use your ghostcomp. And it worked - but now Sketchup always chrashes when I try to create a ghost component. Do you have any advice or idea what to do about that? Thanks in advance.

                                    Please make sure you have the most recent versions. For the crash, it may be some conflicting plugins (some versions of Vray and Podium for instance)

                                          The concept behind GhostComp is to associate a simplified version to a component (called Ghost). Then the script provides an easy way to switch back and forth between the Ghost version and the Real version in the model.

                                          Hi Fredo,
                                          I integrated this concept into the last version of 3D Tree Maker, with a function that could be called by external plugins to switch/and back from full view to proxy view. the good thing is that in proxy view only object information needed to rebuild the object is kept in object dictionary, not all the real edges/faces.
                                          If you think it could be interesting to integrate calls to 3DTreeMaker from your plugin, let me know.
                                          Yours
