Hi Pilou,
Quoi faire, si je n'ai pas 2015 comme voi de migrer. J'ai une installation frais de 2016 et installer Visualizer c'est impossible (Vous n'avez pas SketchUp 2013, 2014 ou 2015).
Est-ce que tu a un trick pour cela aussi?
Merci en avance,
Aristos

Hi,

Does something like that work on Windows 7 as well? I tried with renaming the 64-bit program directory from SketchUp 2016 in SketchUp 2015 - but that was apparently too easy... Still the message: You need 2013, 2014 or 2015....

Visualizer will not install in SketchUp v16 without tricking it to do so...

temporarily renaming SketchUp 2016 folder in Finder to SketchUp 2015 will allow the download to make the the v15 files...

once downloaded, change the name back and run the ruby code posted in the post above...

Im pretty sure you must at least install 2015 with windows OS.
Here is a link to sketchup forum posting for getting 2015 Make.

Link to download SketchUp 2015 Make

hello everyone, does anyone have a link to download sketchup make ? i kept searching but only found sketchup 2015 Pro.

@aristos
Visualizer fonctionne aussi sur la 2015 avec au moins les versions de Window 8 et windows 10 que j'avais installées!

Seems Visualizer don't works on 2017 with the previous tricks of installation 2015 - 2016 !

somehow I am not surprised

I'm wondering how many other extensions / plugins will be problematic

[vico44]

It was working with The 2016 on OS X

Pour cela il fallait juste copier l'ancienne installation sur /Bibliothèque/Application Support/Sketchup 2016/
(Pas dans User/Biblithéque/Application Support/Sketchup 2016/ mais à la racine du disque)

Cela ne marche pas pour Sketchup 2017

[driven]

the 2016 tricks will not work for this or any plugin that cannot be updated to run on Ruby 2.2...

there is no legal way around this for encrypted extensions...

Yep its busted.

I wish they released the program as opensource.

The Visualizer website is down! Does anyone have a list of enhanced material names for the different reflection levels?

I only remember gloss and matte

I recall paint plastic / metal somewhere...

thanks-heaps!

And for French speaking!

[Nathans]

Any luck with visualiser on sketch pro 2018 and windows 10?!

[pilou]

Works on Windows 10 only till SU 2016 !

Has anyone been able to render a sand blasted/ frosted glass in Visualizer. I have tested lots of different ways and no proper results. I know the software is somehow limited in some ways, but I thought maybe someone has been successful with a setting for frosted glass or sand blasted glass that would actually render properly in Visualizer.

Thanks

Not used for a long time but you can maybe use 2 transparent (or more) glassed surfaces each with different regulates? (not tested)

[Mike Amos]

I have Visualizer but would like to install it on sketchup 2016, how can I do this? Please.

[Mike Amos]

Thank you, Sir.

[pilou]

Sorry it's in French but with Deepl no problem for translate it!

Else why not use the free Real Time Render SimLab Composer Lite ? (Maxi 1920 *1080)
It's many more powerful and so easy!
