Sketchup 2013 issues

Version 7 - 17 seconds
Version 8 - 19 seconds
Version 2013 - 52 secondsInteresting. Is the operation wrapped in
model.start_operation? And is thedisable_uiargument set totrue? -
I am not using model.start_operation.
-
See if it makes a difference if you wrap it up into one operation - and use the disable_ui argument.
-
I added in the code as you suggested.
model.start_operation( "gkware", true )
did all the work
model.commit_operation
Version 8 increased its time from 19 seconds to 90 seconds
Version 2013 increased its time from 52 seconds to 64 secondsSo - for those who are using start / commit then 2013 is faster. But for me - it's quite a bit slower.
-
That is bizzare. I've never seen disable_ui make things slower. It's always been faster as it prevented the UI from updating while the operation ran.
-
When running code without the disable_ui I have to make certain that the Outliner is not visible - otherwise it is really slow.
Here are 2 images of a kitchen. One in Sketchup 8 and the other in Sketchup 2013
-
For the images - the edge appear more jagged because you haven't exported with anti-aliasing.
-
These aren't exported - I used a snipping tool to grab exactly what I see on screen.
If you click on the images and compare them - Sketchup 8 is giving me better graphics.
-
I figured it out - I had to play around with the OpenGL settings. Sketchup 2013 defaulted to 15 0x antialias whereas Sketchup 8 was using 40 4x.
Now they are both rendering the same.

I'm glad you got it working, but I'm interested in this kitchen plugin... Do you have your own thread? I'd love to know more about it.
-
What I have is a C++ program that I built called CabMaker32. It handles the sizes, # of doors / drawers etc. It builds a complete cutting list and lets you fill in a few details about rendering. It then calls Sketchup with a ruby script. The Ruby script then renders the cabinets.
I did create a door plugin - that will give you door and drawer fronts in lots of wood textures and pretty much what ever size you need - inches or metric.
There are many door styles.
My web site is CabMaker32.com - you can download the free door plugin and trials for cabmaker32 and cutmasterpro (a parts optimizer that I built in C++).
I have 2 threads here

awesome... thanks.

I am using SU 2013 education and I can not export anything and I have only a few selection to import? Is this a issue with 2013 or is it a part of the new license? My previous education licenses would let me export and import DWGs.

An edu license should work exactly like a full pro license (the only difference is that it's time limited for an academic year). Have you actually renewed your license for 2013? It should be free for edu license holders (AFAIK).
-
That is a fantastic plugin Garry. Excellent work. This is http://cabmaker32.com/ going on my Christmas list.
-
Your SU 8 license will NOT work with 2013.
You must get a new license for 2013.
-
Yes got my code on friday and activated?
-
@circus please update your platform info here so we can help you better.
ALso what format are you exporting to ? (There are separate libraries for each export file format.)
-
Was hoping to export DWG, and import DWG. I have a commercial licences of SU8 pro in which I have been using importing and exporting DWG, I recently purchased(friday) a copy of 2013 edu, as I am currently studying and it does not give me any export options and limited import options? So iI am back on
SU8, and Layout 2013? They seem to mixx o.k.P.
-
Circus, it should definitely have those export/import functions. Have you tried reinstalling it?
