What do i do!?! Can you try Animator v2.6a. I normally fixed the problem.

@tig said: If you have just two Plugins loaded in the Manager when SketchUp restarts there will still be just those two Plugins loaded. The Plugins Manager lets you load/disable any Plugins you choose. Because of limitations in the way SketchUp loads Plugins you can't dynamically disable them - they will stay loaded during that session. However, if you disable a Plugin and restart SketchUp, then that disabled Plugin will not load at startup. But of course you can choose to use the Manager to load selected Plugins during a session. The orange button does a 'temporary load' - that is it loads just for that session, and when SketchUp restarts it is disabled once again... You can select multiple Plugins in one go, for loading/disabling/temporarily-loading by clicking on them in the appropriate column in the dialog - holding the +Ctrl key to pick them one-by-one, or holding +Shift key and clicking on the first and the last the selected ones, this is just like any other Windows app... Then you click the appropriate button [RGO] they'll move column and be re-colored to indicate what's just been changed... If you pick some items wrongly you can simply re-click them to remove them from the selected ones before clicking the button. If you've already moved them into another column you can move them back by highlighting them in that column and moving them across in the correct column... Please get to understand how the load/disable/temporarily-load [GRO] buttons work on selected entries in the loaded and disabled columns... Sets are an additional way of remembering your preferred collections of Plugins - for use during your different work-stages etc. Look at using those once you are comfortable with the manual operation... As explained, enabling manually or by 'set' is immediate, but disabling manually or by 'set' will require a SketchUp restart to complete the process. Splendid. I do thank you. Now its clear for me how to deal with the set features.

Update: After a bit more troubleshooting, I see that the Capture Rendering Style "mostly" works to activate/deactivate section cuts. I created a simple movie: Style1: Section cuts deactivated Style2: Section cuts activated Style3: Section cuts deactivated Initially, if I stopped the movie during Style2 and jumped back to Style1, Style1 did not deactivate the section cuts properly. The only way to get them to deactivate was to go to Style3. I then swapped the position of Style1 and Style3 which revealed that Style1 was not retaining the "start with section cuts deactivated" setting I had tried to save. It didn't work to deactivate section cuts after Style2. With Style1 positioned after Style2, I re-captured the "deactivated" style which appears to have resolved the issue, allowing the setting to be saved into Style1. Now Style1 and Style3 work in either position. In further testing, I have had trouble reproducing the "first style fails to save deactivated section cuts." I created the original Style1 before saving any "activated section cuts." I wonder if now that this file has an "activated" section cut style, that future styles will properly save "start deactivated" unlike my initial behavior. I'll let you know if I figure anything else out.

@xxxnova said: Hi Fredo, I've found some bugs, that annoy so much. I've only select one object that would be assigned with apparition movement, But other object with same shape who not selected are applied with this apparition too automatically, i just need this apparition only work on my selected object. Is this just occurred only on my Animator? Would be great if this problem was solved. It's probably because your object is a component instance which is itself embedded in another component instance which exist in several copies in the model. In Sketchup, can you modify your object manually, say add a line, and see what happens to the rest of the model. anyway, posting the model would help. Fredo

Actually this is the same question as in the first post. My wish is to have full control on curve points used for distribution of components (not only pipes). Picture is made with lines + pipe plugin (Green elements has to be profiles).This way is not suitable for big number of profiles and more complex curves. In your gif (with stringer plugin) we can not have full control on endings configuration (what I call "end-points curve"). [image: gIw9_Pdrking-.jpg]

Hi Fredo, It works for me perfectly now. Thank you very much

Thanks everyone for the replies. I realize the way SketchUp recognizes solids means that adding these walls precludes the volume from being recognized in the SketchUp world as solid volumes, but had hoped there was some workaround here. What I have done is as suggested, modeled 2 separate solid volumes. I'll be talking to the guy doing the energy calculations today. He uses several different programs, as well so maybe there is an answer from his side. I'm also thinking that just because SketchUp see's things this way, doesn't necessarily mean his software will, if I use a single skin separating partition wall with openings indicated. Thanks again, and I'll let you know how this works out.

@fredo6 said: Not Really. All data for the animation is stored within the model and objects (as attributes). So a Save-As or Save-Copy-As will keep the data, but there is no way to transfer the animation data between files. The reason is that all the references (i.e. entity ID) would be different. Is there a particular situation where such a data transfer would make sense? Yes there is, create a ready-to-use pre-animated objects (just like a Twinmotion for instance): => wind turbines, cars (with consistent wheel rotation), animated crane/excavator.... Thanks (your plugin is awesome!)

It sounds to me like pilot error. In order for the extension to be active you need to have a selected section plane. You can also run it from the Context menu when you right click on a section plane. If you go back to the extension's page in the EW, there's a video you can watch that clearly shows how to use it.

If they fall, the glass with the holes is probably incorrect? You can use Fredos convexify (part of FredoTools) to subdivide it to convex shapes ...

@optimaforever said: Hello all, I just installed the JHS powerbar in SU 2020 Pro and so far, I got one bug (but an annoying one): When I use EXTRUDE LINE (by Didier Bur), SU hangs when trying to extrude more than one line at once. Previously, I had no problem doing that (2015 2016 2017 2018 2019). Now I must be aware that SU crashes (or hangs for eternity) when doing that. I had/ have the same problem with SU 2019 and now with 2020. I am aware that JHS is not updated for 2020. Crash occurs usually when I want to return/ undo the last command, or do work to fast and the I get unwanted lines. My solution is to work slow and save at each step.

The settings seem correct - Please rerun the video generation with the Ruby Console. ...and check that you generate all frames till frame 201. Then you should get a a 'black' window for a few second (FFmpeg). You can also check in the folder of generation whether you have all the image files, numbered from 1 to 201. If you still get a truncated video, I would suggest you get the latest version of FFmpeg. See this post for instruction

Can you post the path to the RBZ download for Floor Generator at SketchUcation.com It's no longer available in the PluginStore, because the author has withdrawn it from publication following a spurious undisclosed 3rd-party copyright claim... Perhaps you have an old version saved on your PC ? Anyway it should not do what you've reported. Have you tried clearing the Internet Explorer cache ? It might be corrupted and messing with Webdialogs ?? Clearly the Fredo's dialogs shouldn't behave like this either ! Also try disabling the renderers and see if that is implicated...
