I get Transparency with Sky on. But not with Ground.
...Gaieus... do you have the Ground on?
I find that both sky and ground obscure my png's background transparency ?
I need to have sky and ground both off to have a fully transparent background in the png, BUT even then shadows on the ground-pane will show up floating is space so you need to have that option off too... -
Don't know why I haven't seen this gem before today...
Awesome, Thomas...!
Thank you SO much...!! -
Hi Thom and TIG; you are right, when I turn ground and sky off, I can export with transparency.
And now I am banging my head to the wall (where is that smiley?
)This is exactly the way you need to set your style to be able to export your png with transparency!
-
Yea - we need that smiley.
This has been one for my Duh! list as well.
-
Thanks anyway (and again) for the plug however. I do not know if there is a solution in ruby but if not, I guess you have already updated the info on the first page.
Maybe a solution to temporarily disable ground and sky?

Maybe the user want either one on/off...

Thom,
This is exporting for me? Ground/Sky off, BG is White and adding .png to file name when exporting but no joy! I know i've missed something here but re-reading the thread i can't pin it down?
-
Can you post this joyless model? And/or screenshot?
-
Just a warehouse model for testing before you know what
-
Gimme model
-
It was actually one of Pete's submissions.

But later I'll provide the model itself in case there's a difference
-
I had no problems getting the transparency. I just loaded the model and exported.
Exactly what do you do?
-
Haven't the foggiest? It's meant to run from plugins menu, right?
-
-
Not there, it's Plugins > Thomthom's Plugins > Export 2D.
I've got conflict somewhere?

That's the correct menu item - it's just that you got ThomThom's menu installed which moves all my menu items to that position.
But it should not affect the result. Can you send me a quick video recording of what you do when you try to export with transparency?

view.html.write_image
http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/ourdoc/view.html#write_imageAs of SU8, if you use the hash variant for the arguments you can specify transparency.

Thanks, I see that the api notes that the method applies to v6.0+. How can that be correct?

The method is old, but the transparency argument is new.
