Launch Google Sketchup Menu File /Import...3ds

Hi, I had look at your plans but i found it hard to understand as it is difficult view it with excel. But i made a very simplistic version so you can play around with it yourself to get the final product that you need. Pier.skp I'm sure there's is someone beavering away on it at the moment and will upload a better version soon enough. But to help out a little hope you view this and play around with it rgds, Rich

Sorry for the late reply Gaieus, but you sloved my problem. Thanks Heaps mate, Geoff

...so to add to Jim's post, something must have gone wrong. You should definitelybe able to open a version 6 file in SU 7. In fact, we do that all the time here with files uploaded by members still using SU 6 (or even 5).

OK, I see the problem. For others also to understand; if you want to import an image to texture existing faces, in the import browser window, select "Import as texture" instead of "Import as image".

But they might try to sell me a Mac....and I for one am opposed to that There's your sarcasm, Chris

After executing these 8 steps i reinstalled the driver but it was not successful. After a second deinstallation/reinstallation it worked without problems.

On the top of my head, try updating mac os: it has fixed a lot of major glitches for me on my Imac

yes possible too

Thank you ! It works fine!

Thanks, Dylan. I wasn't sure. Before SU 7 had this "improvement" and we used to be able to handle 1024 pixel images only, there was a "registry hack" to access 2028 pixel images but it was Windows only. Good to know it works on Macs now, too!

Ah, so... Sorry then; from the website I thought the plugin itself will do the job "for free" and their additional services are the paid things.

Cool, glad to hear yo got everything working.

Hi folks. I made this constatation when I discovered SU at version 3. It has always been working like that, I think. Try scaling by 10000. You will need two scaling operations by 0.01 each to get back to original size. I dont think that this is a bug but rather a limit for the allowed number used as a scale factor. To my knowledge, the lower limit is very close to 0,001. If you type 0,001 you get an error message. However, if you type 0,00100000001 it will work. MAybe this is a bug after all and 0,001 should be allowed. Then, why not 0,0001 ? Just ideas.
