BUG FIXED with Maintenance Release 1 (SketchUp 7.1.5803) ^-^

@chris fullmer said: Your color is not a color at all though, its a material. Right? That's new to me if it is. I'll need to investigate. Chris Yes Chris... this is actually the trick! The color can be a material! And just in this second i have some ideas about how this feature can be exploited.

@unknownuser said: I use RPC for Revit as well as Piranesi and they work great. Having this feature in Sketchup would be great. Scott Thanks to you and Dennis for the comments. I will pass them on to ArchVision/RPC. We have developed a RPC to SketchUp interface, but we are trying to convince them to approve it (we need their permission to create SketchUp Components from RPC objects) and to fund it (we want them to give it away free to RPC users, rather than our trying to sell it) It's good to hear that people like you, who already use RPC, would appreciate it. It would be even better if we could find some people who don't currently use RPC who would start using it if it worked with SketchUp.

Animation is amazingly simple. http://www.martinrinehart.com/models/tutorial/tutorial_10.html#animation Do add the 'X' keyboard shortcut. (See keyboard shortcut section, beginning of Chapter 10.) You'll be glad you did.

Thanks Miguel - I seem to have forgotten to post the link

This one is killing me! Can someone tell me how to back down from 7.1 to 7.0? CB.

Thanks Gaeius In Photoshop the Blur focal distance will help you focus the object that you based on the distance that PS is reading from the depth pass. So as long as you push further the far he will focus. The as i said before is where you control the amount of blur but sometimes you'll want to pussh it up just a litle bit on the blur so that doesn't get so undefined and can't do it in the lens blur menu. then after doing the blur, duplicate that blur layer, and youl'll see that the blur got a litle stronger, now start reducing the opacitty of the top one, seeing real time the blur getting stronger or weaker. Anyone want to share more tips?:) P.S: there 2 more images below showing the blur focal distance afecting the image using the depth pass (first focusing near objects- car and tree; 2nd focusing, midle objects - house; and 3rd focusing far away objects - back trees).

I agree with EarthMover. It also wouldn't have any strength. The glass top would be very heavy and unstable on top of those thin plywood supports. If the floor isn't perfectly flat, the thing would would twist or warp stressing the joints between the bottom and the uprights. Not much in the way of a modesty panel, either. I would think you could find something better than C-grade exterior plywood for the wooden parts. I'd say it would be stunning when the glass top falls on someone.

@thomthom said: What are the problems you're having with the attributes? Example? Well, I opened up the Sketchup Attribute Manager. http://code.google.com/p/sketchupattributemanager/wiki/Welcome. Using this, I made a simple dynamic component. When I loaded the attributes X, Y, Z onto the component, they showed up on the attribute manager. Then when I moved the block, reloaded the attribute manager, the new coordinates were not updated. This same issue happened when I scales and rotated the component, compelling me to believe the problem was most likely with the attribute manager not reading the dc (even after I hit redraw). I don't know of something similar to the attribute manager that will work with DC's, and that' my real difficulty. Without it, debugging this idea will be difficult without knowing exactly the formatting of the current functions.

Same problem here.

Ok Im an idoit I didnt turn off AVG and Win fire wall. After that it downloaded fine.

For cabinet design and furniture design, another feature to look for is the ability to render edge lines. Often, because edge lines are turned on by default in SketchUp, modelers tend to use edge lines to provide detail which is lost in rendering add-on which cannot process edge lines.

@thomthom said: Have you purged the model? Yes, even if all geometry is deleted from the model space, used components, materials and even styles can add considerable amount of Mb's to it until you purge everything.

Hi and welcome....where's overthere?

I forgot to thank you. For some reason they showed up when I re-started SketchUp for the second time. Thanks, again, Dave

Hi David, It sounds like you're running into this issue: http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=162724 In SketchUp 7.1, there's a known issue where SketchUp will ignore input to the Measurements box when you click or tab into the box prior to typing. Cheers!

Hi Antonino, It will be interesting to see how you get on with Multitouch. I see that the app producer, Will Henderson, has a good sense of humour also. http://wcrawford.org/2008/02/28/everytime-i-think-about-you-i-touch-my-cell/ I must add it the the List of Mac App that I have goinge here.
