      Sure!

      I decided to re-construct the balustrades using a simpler spindle-type baluster, so I'll see if that works. But since I got the same results with two different balustrades, I have to assume that the problem has to do with all the meshes involved. Maybe that's not it, but I would like to solve the problem!

        Okay, moved to Extensions (and renamed subject line).

          Another and perhaps easier approach, would be to send a PM to Tomasz directly... πŸ˜‰
          Or post such a question at the KT Forum...

          It would be interesting to know what OS you're on..??
          And also what version of the SU2KT plug-in you're using...??
          (In SU click Plugins > Kerkythea Exporter > About SU2KT)

          I have downloaded two different balustrades fro the 3D Warehouse and put them in two different models.

          A link to the 3D model you've downloaded from the 3D Warehouse would also help, since it could be something with the model itself causing the issue...?!? πŸ˜‰

          There are a lot of meshes, but that shouldn't matter (I have 4GB RAM).

          SU is 32 bit, meaning that most probably there's no advantage with 4Gb
          (this depends on OS though, since a 32 bit app can marginally see 4Gb).

          Cheers

            I just tried an export with the balusters selected out and it worked! But when I tried to export the balusters only, the export froze and crashed.

            Any ideas on how to solve this? I would really like to use these components, but...

              I have posted the question in the KT forum!

              One of the balustrades I used is now gone from the Warehouse. here is one : http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=a39b91deafa0f1d77af66a4b34799d4f&prevstart=0

              Here is the spindle: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=44c318ad630074558e67c36af2e37131&prevstart=0

              The export starts, then slows, then freezes. With the spindle attempt it was even worse-- it just freezes the export instantly and crashes SU.

              There has to be a logical reason for this which I can correct!

              KT version 3.05. OS is XP Pro.

              I mentioned the RAM because I don't think it's a memory issue.

                Hi Steve,
                I have downloaded both models from the Warehouse and have no problem exporting them using 3.1 beta2.
                Please try this version please. Is is available to download at KT Forum \ SU Section.

                Let me know if it helps.

                Tomasz

                  Is the beta version bug-free?

                  In my model I have multiple copies of the balustrades--maybe 50 balusters in total. This might make a difference, even with the beta version?

                    Sounds good!

                    Just to give you an update. I redrew the spindle balusters to make them far more simple and the export went fine. I opened the file in KT, added a spherical sky and it crashed both KT and my computer. It is a large file (76K MB--10,600 faces), but shouldn't it be able to handle this?

                      The beta2 works fine.
                      Simply I have to put all effort right now into my website and looking for new sources of income, so I have no time for SU2KT right now. When things will settle I will gladly invest time in Ruby programming again.

                        Steve,
                        Is there any error in a console when exporting old model.
                        I think it is a question of " double quote sign used in a component name.
                        If you can, send me the model to: tomasz AT kerkythra_dot_net. If it is too big try some file sharing website.
                        I will use it for testing purpose only.

                        Tomasz

                          No error that I can remember, anyway. Just a window saying that "Sorry, Kerkythea has crashed". Then I got the blue screen on my computer and had to unplug it.

                          I will try to find a file-sharing site and send it to you.
