I do not think it works for 2014, but I am working on it when I can.

[willipop]

It appears but it's not working ! What version are you guys using ? any links for the download ?

[pilou]

You can find old free versions of sketchup here so you will can use the protrude plugin

Now I will use the select brush and select every faces that show less vertex. Afterthen I will subdivide these faces to have a more uniform mesh. I'd like to have 10-15cm in between each edges.

Good luck turning the lines to tubes!

[willipop]

its going to take approximately 36h :(:( both of my pc running on 2 different files. Jeez ! Hope i will be able to navigate in the file ^^

[pilou]

And what about junctions of tubes ?
Normally Lines2tubes don't managed them!

I don't think it's possible to even see the junctions because the thread is so thin. What is your solution Pilou?

Nope!

[pilou]

If you want really ropes maybe only lines are sufficient (hide faces) or to map a transparent texture

But I am not sure that the drawing of lines shown is the real one in reality?

[willipop]

Yes I have to show lines in reality ! I'd like to have the shadow casted too ! I think I will have to try with png texture or transparent texture ... I know that I can make shadow visible from the edges in sketchup but I'm sure if it'll work in kerkythea or artlantis on the rendering.
