Sorry, but I think not.

@Mousa_SA is this a post rendering effect?
I think a good way is to provide the developers with pictures. not all dev´s have all plugins on the disk. vray is really a little bit special. i like that some render engine developer provide sketchup. what do you think about to ask the vray developer,too?

@sdmitch i must repeat me by myself... your "small" plugins will be every time helpful. some plugins i use every time when i have a project with sidewalks etc. or when i have an other problem
some plugins i will never missing. nice that you have now an email contact address.

i will tell you a thank you.

Yes Dean, you can say that, in Sketchup 2017 it's has an object IDs Feature, so Chaos group will implement MultiSubTex, you can read more about it here:
https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VRAYSKETCHUP/MultiSub+Tex

And Ithil made this tutorial for the TexTriplaner Feature:

sdmitch, maybe that deserve another look !

I saw it posted on the first page of this plugin, a LAP setting would be AMAZING.

I'm in Architectural Visualization and material properties don't allow for accurate displacement maps. A plugin like this is tantalizingly close to creating the repeating clap/lap siding which our pro-user group needs. Sketchup has been blessed with rendering engines but this modelling aid is missing!

I did try to develop a clapboard option several years ago but never produced a satisfactory one. Perhaps it would be worth another look.

Your plugin is amazing. Thank You.
Is there a possibility to make some additional options in octagons pattern? Option to give the size of two tiles: the big one and the smaller one. It would be very helpful.

Have you looked at the "Hopscotch" patterns?

A basic "Clapboard" option has been added.

"Hopscotch" pattern doesn't fit
It must be octagonal pattern but with specific dimensions of two tiles: the big one - octagonal and smaller one - square tile.

I'm having problems with the plugin in SU 2017. Su 2015 seems to be working fine.

Using even stock settings I get a lot of random tiles missing.

sdmitch

Once again SU2017 is acting in a different way than previous versions. Maybe there is a solution but I doubt it.

pilou

So have 2015, 2016, 2017 is a good thing!
(and that divide by 3 number of plugins (if distributed) for a more speed launch)

rogalxxx

so, no cure for this bug? any chance It will be patched?
Any other plugin that can generate nice tiles?

pilou

Protrude by Jim + Lattice Maker by TIG + FredoScale by Fredo?

Hi,

I have that same problem.Is there a solution?

You could always do a work-around by saving the SKP in 2016 version, open SU2016, do what you want there with the plugin, save and open in 2017 again. I know, far from ideal.

Who has any experience with Oob Layouts? It also reports only compatible up to 2015, but I have often had where extensions say that and work fine in the later (supposedly incompatible) SU version. Anybody willing to trial it?

I have tested FloorGenerator in SU2017 and had no problem with missing tiles.

Could you post your model so I could test it myself?
