Thomas - are you using a release candidate version of Windows 7?
Yes - just got my copy of the final version yesterday. Haven't had time to install it though.
-
I tried this on my second computer - running Vista SP2 32bit. Got the same error.
Also noticed that the windows with the wireframe grid can be interacted with until I press Ok on the error message window - where it then closes.
-
My default browser is Firefox 3.5.6 btw. But I've also tried with FF3.0 and IE8.

Hey
Try it now everybody and enjoy
Might I suggest a beach themed mp3 in the background as its playing!
Sorry for the hiccup, lets us know your thoughts.

This sounds exciting, Andrew! I'm looking forward to using it. So to clarify, it only works with Sketchup Pro, not the free version?
Hey
It is in the development plans to have this working on the standard version, however all of our attention has been on Sketchup pro, Revit, autoCAD architecture & 3d Max recently. Keep checking our website for updates!
I hope you enjoy the ICEvision

Worked now.
Had a quick look at the demo scene there. Personally I found it to contain too much text. I was sitting there thinking "get on with it". Might be better to leave the text for the website? And I think the demo scene would present better if you changed the environment colour to something other than pure black. Pure black backdrop for architectural presentation just doesn't fit in. Feels unfinished.
Will have to look again later for the actual product. In my quick little initial test I couldn't immediately work out how to move forward or backward. But I don't have more time today - so I'll have to get back to that tomorrow.
-
That's excellent news. Thanks for checking it out!
We just threw it up on the forum to show you what ICEvision does, I will publish some smaller models with no text soon too. If you have a model you want me to put up, please feel free to email me the file!
When you get back into ICEvision, hit the help button > Help contents and a quick driving tips screen will appear.

Works fine with 32 bit XP Pro.
I think it's a neat idea, and the app certainly will be useful. Regarding the demo, I think it needs to be a little more succinct and allow folks to play with the viewer and a demo scene.

Here is the winning design in the recent google Sketchup "design your dwelling" Competition
This one is smaller and more simple with no set path. Fly around and enjoy!
I will add this to my first post for all to see.
Don't forget, if you have a 3D connexion mouse, you can connect it by clicking on the 'view settings' tab
-
Cool! Works fine, but it would be nice if the navigation controls were the same as Sketchup's...and like Thomthom said, a nicer background-even a blue gradient would be great
-
I'm glad you like it!
Once you get used to the controls you will really start to enjoy flying around models, especially with a 3D connexion mouse!
In regards to the background, it's black because the playing field is an infinite space, however plans are are being made to add some sky.
Don't forget to send me a model if you have time.

Happy new year to you all.
Did you all get a chance to look at the second ICEvision we published just after the news letter went out?
If so, any thoughts? I love the texture of the wood inside main entrance.Andy
