        Hi all !
        Thanks for your axoiso.rb plugin. I had a similarly need for my own video game, so i add some new functions of my own, to get the 8 isometric views from a single model.

        In order to get my code functional :
        1°/ first import one single model and select it.
        2°/ then open ruby console. (menu > windows > ruby console)
        3°/ write "middle" (to center the object to the axis origin)
        4°/ then write "aff" to get all view done with correct distance & angle
        5-6-7..°/ then write i1, or i2, or i3 ... or i8 and snapshot the image, to get all 8 classical isometric direction for video game.

        I'm sure anyone can do better than me on this forum. This was my first contact with Ruby language.
        I hope this will help someone else ... as much as the axoiso.rb had helped me.

        Have a nice day !

              Great plugin for my exercises about Dihedral System in the High School (I'm a Drawing Teacher), I added a menu via Camera Menu for a quick access.

                Hello TIG,
                first of all, I want to say this plugin is just great! I am using it every chance I get!
                I just came across a bit of a problem thought, and I am asking you for help.
                For my work, I often have the necessity to produce axonometric drawings with shadows.
                This time I am asked to draw an axonometry from the bottom. So I thought: easy enough! I just need to rotate the model, export in 2D, rotate the canvas again, and voilà!
                The problem is, my committant wants the shadows too!
                However, sketchup only allows the shadows to come from the top (which is only logical), so if I rotate the model, and rotate the 2d view again, I would find my self with a picture showing shadows coming from the bottom (which is quite odd).
                So, my question is, is there a way I can see my axonometry 30-60 from the bottom without having to rotate the model?
                I tried using ruby console to set the view, but I really don't know what I'm doing...

                Update: if I open the axo+iso.rb file with notepad I see the parameters "eye" "target" "up" for the three different options (30/60; 60/30; 45/45), how did you calculate those parameter? Is there a way a can calculate mine to put myself in the view I need?

                  I guess you simply want a negative Z for the eye, so it's then below the ground ?
                  So you could edit using Notepad++ the eye's Z values thus...
                  e.g. in line#51
                  eye=Geom::Point3d.new(-25.3259,-5.00502,463.851)becomes
                  eye=Geom::Point3d.new(-25.3259,-5.00502,**-**463.851)
                  Test it and see if that's what's expected...


                  PS:
                  The attached RB is a WIP update to v2.0.
                  Note how the usage has changed to TIG.axo3060 for viewing as usual from above, and TIG.axo3060**(-1)** for from viewing from below.
                  This applies to all axo/iso view changing operations.

                  Put the RB file into the Plugins folder to replace the original...
                  Restart SketchUp...
                  If it does what you want, then please confirm, and then I might update the PluginStore entry accordingly...

                    Thanks for this awesome plugin! Is there any toolbar version available? I'm used to clicking the huts in the native sketchup toolbar for ISO, Front or Top views. A toolbar will be super awesome. 👍 😄

                    Sketchup Make 2017 (64-bit), Vray 4.0 , Windows 10 – 64 bit, corei7-8750H, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB

                      Dear TIG,
                      Thanks for sharing your gems, I was searching exactly the same thing .. but it does not work for me and each time I receive the same error message:
                      ISO3030
                      Error: #<NameError: uninitialized constant ISO3030>
                      <main>:in <main>' SketchUp:1:in eval'

                        This is a very very very old plugin, and could benefit from some modernization and rewriting, but it should still work.

                        The error appears to come about because you are typing in capital letters ??
                        Use
                        iso3030
                        NOT
                        ISO3030

                            Dear TIG, bringing this forum back to life a bit, but I downloaded the extension and imported it through my sketchup extension manager. However I don't see the extension anywhere and have re-started my sketchup. Is there a different way I need to import it for it to work?

                            Thanks!!

                              If you use Sketchucation Tools then if you search for axo and click the down chevron it will reveal additional info
