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!

Hi Spade,

it's still there, check out this link: http://getvisualizer.com/blog/enhanced-materials.html

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!

[pilou]

And you have the Free Integration / SketchUp / SimLab!

[pbacot]

That's actually a good question. I have had visualizer for multiple versions of SU. I could generally activate it and disable with SketchUcation tools. That would indicate that an .rb is involved. I thought I just transferred the .rb for new versions. So I just looked. I cannot find an associated .rb in any of my versions, and it is not shown any longer in 2019 SketchUcation managers. So my guess is you must download the installer and install it to your system again.

[Mike Amos]

Re downloading and installing, it's no good, I still have the last release and it does not install in Sketchup versions after 2015 out of the box. The method above works well though.

C/users/programdata/sketchup/sketchup version/plugins. The folder and rb are there.
