@cmarievb143 said: When i export the animation i have set up it doesn't export the full animation... only half of it. Is there a setting i am missing? or could my animation be too long? any ideas? A couple of things; Are all your scenes selected to be in the animation? How are your exporting it? .avi or Images? How big is your model? Can you post it for us to take a look? Does it take a long time export?

I have something working! I get large previews for SketchUp files. [image: n3xX_large_skp_previews.png] If someone is interested or knows how to get it work for Windows, I can share the code (it is not much). I looked into IThumbnailProvider interface, but that's too complicated for me and it probably requires a C extension or something.

It as late night when I had the problem. I saved the project and closed PC. When I started today, so all was right. Except, that when I loaded the file, it looked the same as on the screenshot. But when I moved and zoomed so everything in right in parallel view. I will come back here if I will have some similar issues. Thanks

I'm using to GTX 470's in sli. never any issues. a 550ti should handle sketchup.

I just tried WINDOW-MODEL INFO-STATISTIC-PURGE UNUSED and now it works fine. The empty file with that template has 112Kb what is OK I think. Thanks for help

That's strange because mine works well. I suppose I didn't upload the right one. Don't know, so the joined one works well, I verified "H Porte" as you said and other parameters. And in fact, according to my tests, changing origin can make the things not working if you change origin after having writen the formulas but if you do it before, there is no problem. All positions or rotations modifications are done relatively to the origin so, it's position shouldn't be important. Porte intérieure dynamique.skp

have a look under prefrences and open GL, make sure high quality textures are off and also if hardware acceleration is on, turn it off, or off, on. Finally are you trying to pan with shadows on? the model moves faster with them off.

I figured out what was wrong. Windows 7 was treating the file as a text file when I saved it. So the extension was .txt rather than .rb I changed the extension to rb and the toolbox installed correctly. The next issue was, the insert link was not working when trying to insert into a 2D template. I changed to a 3D template and I am climbing up the learning curve. I've only been using this for 2-3 hours. Thanks for the help!

Hurray! We hit the century vote mark!

If it was made using Sketchup any old doodle would do. If it was handed over to their corp artist and made elsewhere? Says a bit about the union. An intelligent CEO would have his artists embrace Sketchup as the sole tool for this.

@tig said: Also be warned that SketchyPhysics [one of a few 'rogue-scripts' around] will probably mess with some base-classes relating to groups etc ill-advisedly, thereby breaking the correct operation of some others' tools, that of course expect that the API is working as it should ! I recommend you only have SketchyPhysics installed in Plugins when you need it, this will allow other tools to run correctly... warning taken. I have it removed for now. not ready for it yet anyways.

Download the trial and have a play. I think the omni grid comes as a component within the tool to place light throughout your model.

The point is that inference does not work for dimensions. I miss that too. Its much easier to dimension without using guidelines, like in Autocad.

Draw your freehand lines onto a temporary face. Then they'll be coplanar. Erase the face[s] before using followme on the 'curves'... Incidentally, very tiny facets won't form with tools like followme, so if this likely scale up the path face to followme [group first] then extrude. Scale back down afterwards - small faces can exist it's just that Sketchup/OpenGL can't cope with creating very tiny [or for that matter very gigantic] geometry...
