Oxer · 10 May 2016, 11:44

It's rare, but the window title to Choose Output Folder appears when click in Make panorama icon.

(I have translate the plugin to Spanish language)

So strange.
Makes no sense that UI.openpanel has this bug and UI.savepanel doesn't.
I guess it's a problem with ruby and OS X. I'll see if there is a way around it.

Thanks for letting me know.

Late answer after my vacation. To pack a panorama in one HTML file, works very well. Great job. Here's an example. I found no way to assign a file name from the pull-down menu. It always wants open an existing file.

unzip - includes panoramic html-file

Thanks.
Nice scene!
Yes, filenames are a little restricted because I wrote the plugin mostly for the web.
What filenames would you like to change?

After some consideration the predefined names are fine. A small inconsistency is at the upper side of the cube, when I use the default SketchUp sky. This is not shown in the panoramas in the color of the sky but in the background color.

I am getting some problems with this plugin in SU 2017. The images don't appear to be stitching together properly.

rami_lpm · 22 Nov 2016, 18:43

I haven't tested it in SU 2017 yet. I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the heads up.

rami_lpm · 24 Nov 2016, 22:51

Ok, I've tested it, it appears that the exported images have a black border (bottom and right).
Can anyone else confirm this?
I'll try and fix it.

Yes. The edges of the box are visible.

rami_lpm · 25 Nov 2016, 22:06

I've found a workaround, if you set the resolution to 1020 or 2036, the edges are gone.

rami_lpm · 26 Nov 2016, 01:10

Hey pilou, is that on windows or mac? I've tested it on windows 10 and and the only problem was the border around images.

pilou · 26 Nov 2016, 01:14

In 2017 Upper face cube is always green!

pilou · 26 Nov 2016, 01:15

Windows 10
But I have made any regulates!

I see. this happens in SU 2016 as well.
Apparently looking straight up renders the style background color, not the sky color.
To avoid this glitch, you should make them both the same color.

srx · 26 Nov 2016, 16:17

Interesting. Everything is ok when rendered using Thea. No edges. It is about SU export.

Hello,

is there any fix for issue with SU2017 ?
i have 2 issues with the WebGL cubic pano plugin:

on the cubepictures is a black edge on the right side and down side
the cube is consisting of 6 pictures and my progam is unable to recognize/build a panorama.

please, help.

rami_lpm · 27 Dec 2016, 16:23

Not yet.
Have you tried modifying the resolution to 1020,2040 or 4080?
What program are you using? this is for cubic panoramas, and the plugin generates the html needed to show the result.

AKHLPZ · 28 Dec 2016, 10:45

Yes, when i change the resolution for this values, the black boarder is never seen.
I work with Kolor Panotour Pro and when i load the builded 6 pictures, Kolor Panotour Pro can not recognize the cubic pano.
When i build this 6 pictures with a cubicpanoout.rb script, Kolor Panotour Pro work proper fine.

I am still having problems with this plugin.

I have tried changing the resolution and FOV and still getting weird black lines as shown below:

I did try it on a lower resolution which made the lines disappear. However, I would like to create higher resolution images.

rami_lpm · 5 Jan 2017, 21:49

AKHLPZ: I don't know how to solve that. I can suggest you generate the images with this plugin and then change the names.

brettsichellodesign: when you export with resolution 2040 it still shows the lines? what is your OS and sketchup version?

Sadly, this bug is related to the way Sketchup 2017 renders the bars when the image export ratio and the window ratio are different. It's not something I can fix at the moment.
