WrapR 1.1 Beta Trial

JQL

Now the unwrapped SketchUp model can be saved as ".obj" or ".dae" file as well

Excellent feature as Sketchup nativelly deals well with .dae

Thanks once again Gábor!

Wrap-R 1.1.3 Beta is available now and can be downloaded from the link:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/wrapr-download/WrapR-installer_1_1_3.exe

[*]The installer will not require to remove previous install, it will simply overwrite the previous install files.[/list]

Just went to install the new version & SketchUp still says it's using 1.1.0. What's the best way to install the latest version? When I go to Add Extension in SU Preferences>Extensions it wants a .rbz file which I can't seem to find. Where's the installer file we should use to install the new version?

Where do you see the version 1.1.0? In the SketchUp Plugin or on the standalone Wrap-R program's window title line?

The installation should work like this: You start WrapR-installer_1_1_3.exe. When the installer displays the ruby installer window, you select from the list the SketchUp versions you want the plugin to be installed on. When the installation of Wrap-R is finished, you restart SketchUp and you should see the new plugin there. If it was not working this way then it means a malfunction.

To be able to track down the problem, please give us some more details:

Did you do the installation as described above?
Is the standalone Wrap-R application version number in it's window's title line correct?
If yes, where do you see the 1.1.0 version number?

How do you rotate the model in WrapR? I can move it side to side with my right mouse button but can't seem to rotate the model to see all sides.

Don't worry, I hadn't mapped my middle mouse button for WrapR. Now I have, all good.

I reckon some more detailed help files are required for noobs like me. A .PDF format user manual would be handy. Some of us rural Aussies don't have the most reliable internet connection & can't always rely on online help.

Hi guys!

I just get back to testing Wrap-r since a couple of very busy weeks, and when i try to activate the new beta license (date 2017-06-08) on the current 1.1.3 installer it shows me the ERROR_A0C

Does anyone have a clue about why is this happening? I have tried on a fresh SketchUp Pro 2017 and 2016 installs, Windows 10 64bit. Previous versions worked flawlessly.
Thanks in advance!

The error message is related to the computer's name check. Have you changed your computer's name since the last install? Also please check if your computer name contains any special characters.

Also please try to erase the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Wrap-R\signature.txt file before trying to activate again. If it not helps, please PM me this file and the name of your computer.

Yes! That's it. I indeed changed the computer's name last week. I have just deleted that signature file in the roaming\wrap-r folder and now it has activated perfectly.

Thank you for your fast response Gábor!

Just tried to open WrapR 1.1 & won't let me activate it. When I load the Free License text I got emailed for Beta testing, it says it has expired or become corrupted.

Visit wrap-r.com and get a new installer and license key.

Is it possible or planned to have multiple components/groups in one WrapR file? Because I use it for hard surface models which all use one texture but it is essential they are divided into separate groups.

Also would it be possible in SU to color the edges directly when marking seams instead of having what seems to be an overlay? Sometimes the green edges are hard to see as the geometry occludes it.

Rich O Brien

Component/Group support is planned. But it requires a large overhaul. Likely if v1 is successful then that success makes v2 more worthwhile.

Edge colouring is a good idea. I use X-ray mode when marking edges. It makes seeing markings more apparent.

Thanks for the feedback.

Currently we are adding various file export options to WrapR to make direct import into other apps easier.

I hit "K" for back edges. It's faster that xray mode and allows for visual clarity as you don't see everyting but lines. Sometimes I combine it with my own shortcut for hidden edge visibility "CTRL+SHIFT+H"

What about import into WrapR and then from there to Sketchup? Maybe it's possible and useful.
