im doing some brick work on the outside but i dont know how to install this plugin : http://www.smustard.com/script/Greeble2
i hope ill not get to boring after a while.
-
There are help files for installing plugins too. In short, download the file, copy it into the Plugins folder (make sure you have admin rights to do that if they are required. Typically they are on Win 7 or Vista. Then reopen sketchUp and the plugin should load.
-
It's a weak card. Trying adjusting the display style for SketchUp to minimize the effect
Windows > Styles
Under the edit tab have only Edges checked, Sky and Ground off and Display watermarks off that should help a bit.
You can save that style to your default styles too
To install Greeble
You need offset.rb and progressbar.rb
Place these in your Plugins folder and restart SketchUp

ive managed to install scf powerbar, but i cant install greeble2 , ive downloaded all 3 files and i dont see it in sketchup . i really need those bricks !

im doing it by this tutorial but it seems kinda hard , is there any other way ?
-
Did you get the other required files for Greeble 2? Show us a screen shot of your Plugins folder.
I think that you might be better off without the SCF PowerBar for the time being. You do need Progressbar.rb and Offset.rb. Did you install those? Don't run before you can walk.

I didn't say you don't know anything at all. So from the image of your Plugins directory, the problem is clear. You haven't installed Greeble correctly. It is displayed as a text document instead of an RB file like your other plugins.
-
ok so managed to install greble . can i now make brick wall ? it throws out all weird shapes i just need bricks relief
-
Probably you just didn't insert correct values.
See attached image, everything works fine- if this is what you want to achieve.
Btw, it's always better to attach an images which show the strange, weird, unwanted, mystic results
-
i want brick wall like this one on 5:45
-
You're welcome..
It's always good to give an example of what you want to achieve, would have saved at least 2 minutes of my time
So,
- forget greeble in this case
- draw a rectangle in the size you want your brick / tile to be
- select rectange > make component
- copy as often you need to brick to be copied (use move, enter distance, type x(number))
- change appearance acc. to your liking (offset, pushpull, bevel, paint)
(-edit- components are instances, so if you doubleclick one and edit it, all others will be edited simultaneously)
done.
Maybe have a look at hot to use components at all and some basic SU tutorials- this will clear out many questions.
Good work so far, you should have stumbled over components on your way, probably you didn't. -
i didnt manage to make brick wall so i took one from warehouse and made it to fit my need . now i have three problems
1 i need to cut this . i cant resize because the brick size wont fit my need
http://i40.tinypic.com/10erozq.jpg2 i need to cut this opening and makie door out of it
http://i41.tinypic.com/2e1x2zb.jpgproblem is that i explode this group and then its like 1000 elements and its impossible to group it together easily
-
i magaed to do the wall, somehow !
but i feel like two hours spent on this task is a bit much ... -
You could have drawn a very small section of it and made a linear array to build the rest. It would be done much like the grille in this image.
Or the ceiling grid here.
Or the tiles on the floor.
-
thanks, but i dont know that way, i dont know the easiest way to get to the gold but i manage somehow
now i have 3d wall and ill go further with my house . on the last picture you posted, where can i download the wall texture/color ? i wanted wall like that
-
I don't remember where that brick texture came from. It might be one included with SketchUp.
Perhaps you would find it useful to read the Help files about the Move tool. That's where you'll learn about making arrays.
-
yes actually it is in the sketchup default paint! ... but how do i make the paint fit the block, now it dont align, if you know what i mean
-
Try the Help files first. It's amazing what you'll find there.
