    Always nice to see how our users relay on our plugin for creating professional drawings...

      Hey there Skalp, thanks for a great tool! I was wondering, is the public liaison on leave? New version here and on EW but not on your own website and licensed clients have not received any e-mail notification, nothing on twitter...

      As a matter of interest, the versions here and on EW have differing file names, was wondering what the difference between them would be?
      EW: Skalp_9.rbz
      here: Skalp_v1.2.0039

      Changelog from last version (v1.10053)?

      +++EDIT+++
      Oh yes, before I forget, I found a typo on you EW page, see attachement.

      Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

        Juju,

        The version in EW and in the SketchUcation store are both the same version 1.2.0039. Both stores renames the extension automatically.
        We are doing a slow rollout of the new version. We have done beta testing with we a small group of users and now we first place it on the EW and on the SketchUcation store without any promotion. Normally we will place the new version on our server today. First without any update notification. If we don't receive major bugs we send out an update notification next week to all users.

        Kind regards,

        Guy

          Hey Skalp, those professional drawings you put up by mekers broekx - is that Layout or AutoCAD?

            I reckon they will be layout, and if not they are easily done without AutoCAD.
            Skalp is a superb bit of software!!

              These drawings are 100% SketchUp + Skalp + Layout

              But if you like Skalp you can also export to AutoCad fully with AutoCad patterns. In the next 1.5 update the AutoCad export will be improved a lot!

                Care to give us a sneak peak?

                Will we be able to export Skalp patterns that we manually painted on faces? Will it be this that will make me finally jump to skalp?

                    Thanks Juju! The reflected ceiling is a good one!

                    Might be worth considering...

                      A question - the Thea Render integration is great, but will it work with others (VRay)?

                        My understanding is V-Ray is a rendering software program similar to Thea Render.

                        Thea Render integrates with a number of modelling programs (as does V-Ray).
                        This of current plugins in modelling programs by Thea is noted on their website:

                          No this will not work with VRay.

                            Like SKATTER, I'm sure SKALP will be able to find a work-around to have it work with (just about) all rendering softwares

                              Any idea on release date of 1.5? I am working on a project now that could definitely use some of the new features!

                                    The improved DXF export for sure. From the v1.5 preview video it looks like it will export entire elevations now and not just the section cut? Perfect for interior views.
                                    I also wanted the Thea section cut renders, but after I posted I tried it on my existing model and that feature already works! I never knew 😲

                                      Yes the dxf exports sections including the front hidden lines, also in perspective mode. This new feature only works on SU2016. Send me an email guy@skalp4sketchup.com if you like to become a beta tester for this feature.

                                        We are glad to announce Skalp for SketchUp 1.2, a nice first Christmas present to all our users!
                                        This update looks like a minor update, but it isn't. To meet the specs of the SketchUp Extension Warehouse we had to rewrite a lot of code to workaround some SketchUp API limitations. Now this is done we get to focus on new features and improvements, but first we want to show you what we have done:

                                        @unknownuser said:

                                        NEW: Easy fog setting tool. From the Skalp options menu a new Fog Settings section allows to define and activate SketchUp's fog at a distance relative to an activated Skalp section. This feature only works whenever your sectionplane is parallel to the viewport.

                                        @unknownuser said:

                                        Changed: Way better support for SketchUp's UNDO/REDO operations. This represents some major rewrite work in Skalp's code. Changes are also made to the way Skalp links it's sectionplanes to each scene. Older Skalp models will be converted to the new format automatically. In some cases it might be necessary to relink a Skalp section to a Scene manually.

                                        @unknownuser said:

                                        Improved: Skalp materials for different scales are no longer stored multiple times in the model. Scales are now using applied using UV mapping. Older Skalp sections will be converted to the new format upon first recalculation.

                                        Change: Skalp patterns are now always stored in the model at a printscale of 1:1 Different drawing scales are based on and use this same pattern using UV mapping to implement the actual print scale on the model.

                                        Improved: Skalp in-section edit tool now allows selection of nested component instances and groups. This eases assignment of Skalp patterns to nested objects.

                                        Fix: Foreign language/special characters are now supported on Skalp section names, layer names, material names, tags and Skalp pattern names.

                                        We are working hard on new features and improvements. New things must be tested: shortly we'll need extra beta testers for Skalp 1.5. One major new feature in Skalp 1.5 beta will be forward views included in DXF exports. If you can help us with testing this much improved and long requested feature in Skalp DXF export, please contact us at beta@skalp4sketchup.com .
