Texture exporting from SU

firkins

I would like to export all the texture maps from a SU file to a folder to ease the export of the file into KT (yes I do use SU2KT, but the file is so large it regularly misses a number of texture maps). I checked the Ruby library (Didier) and it seems that the texture writer script should do what I am seeking. However, I cannot get it to work (v6 pro).

Is there a problem with this script, or is there another ruby that can do what I am asking?

Thanks!

Here's the code that I have been using in SkIndigo. It works pretty well for exporting all textures in your model (not just the ones in use). Of course, you will want to modify the output path.


def export_textures


tw=Sketchup.create_texture_writer
model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities

helper_group=entities.add_group
materials=model.materials

for mat in materials
	if (mat.respond_to?(;texture) and mat.texture !=nil)
		helper_group.material=mat
		tw.load(helper_group)
	end

end

entities.erase_entities helper_group

status=tw.write_all $g_su2in_path_textures+"\\"+$g_su2in_textures_prefix+$g_su2in_model_name,false
tw=nil

return status

end

Is this what you were looking for?

I'll try it, thanks.

I also went back to the "old" place and did a search and came up with this suggestion:

"Export your 3D model to an OBJ file. This will create a folder with all the texture files. Then you can delete the OBJ and MAT files if you don't need them."

Not a ruby solution, but should work, too.

Whaat, good to see you here at SketchUcation.
