Yet another update!!!

TIG

This should be available in the SCF PluginStore...
Is it now 'stable' enough to be added ?

Perhaps not just yet. There will probably more pattern options added in the near future.

Is there a way for me to add it to the plugin store or do you have to do that?

There really should be a page or topic that explains the process of adding a plugin to the SketchUcation Plugin Store. I have searched the whole site, but could not find anything. Would be useful for developers and end users.

maybe some of the pros could look into some speed optimisations

Sam IS a pro.

I don't think there are massive gains to be made in that area. Adding, intersecting dense geometry within a Sketchup plugin IS a slow process. This has been discussed many times..
Maybe in 2014, things are better, I don't know, still on 8.

There might be performance to gain by using the second options argument disable_ui in model.start_operation. It prevents the UI from trying to update as the model changes for the duration of the operation. Often this can give signification improvement.

used this yesterday and the wood floor is spectacular... love the random imperfections option.

If 2014 doesn't automatically create the Plugins folder, you can create it and copy plugins to

C;\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins

Are you submitting those BugSplats? Did you enter any info in the description or name that we can use to look it up?

@ Pixero

could you share your brick textures? I really like the results of your renders!

There's a link in my first post of this thread. They are in a sub folder of the one (BTW_Textures) they should be in when used by the script.
(And don't forget to move any textures you DON'T want to use into a subfolder.)
Might be a good idea to make a shortcut to the plugins folder for easy access since you'll have to move textures in and out.

Sdmitch,

It doesn't work well for me. I've clicked on wood, it assumed default values and the cursor changed to the face picker. I choose the face and it went on creating the floor tiles:

I couldn't change parameters at firts;
After that I couldn't use the plugin again until I restarted SU
After restart the same thing problem started all over.

I hope this is a minor fix, because this is big for arch viz. If you need a video showing the steps, I'll reproduce them as they were consistently repeating.

Thank you,

JQL
