Visualizer for SketchUp

Hi pilou,
Im pretty sure the original request was related to layering with an alpha channel but until the person chimes back it remains a mystery.
Your diagram is very neat. What software do you use to make such illustrations ... sketchup?
Also the cast shadow toggle is an interesting hidden gem in Visualizer which can be used to emit light from geometry in a limited fashion. It can take quite a while to render a noise free image. Here is a test image.
Dude, I've been wondering how to create light sources for quite a while now
Thanks for the tip! -
Hey, I'm having a lot of trouble locating Visualizer plugins on my SketchUp.... It doesn't seem to be showing up at all. Here's a picture of my plugins folder in SketchUp 2015 with Visualizer installed:
at path /Users/[yourname]/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp
SketchUp 2016 folder (w/o visualizer, duh):
at path /Users/[yourname]/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2016/SketchUp
Can someone help me at least locate the file?Maybe someone could just upload the files so that I can manually download them? Please?

if you run this in 'Ruby Console' it will move a copy for you into the v16 User/Library...
If you read through the thread, you should have seen that the v15 path is for the HD/Library...
v15_folder = "/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/ImaginationVisualizer" v15_extension = v15_folder + '.rb' v16_folder = File.expand_path("~") + v15_folder.sub('5', '6') v16_extension = v16_folder + '.rb' command = 'ditto ' + v15_folder.inspect + ' ' + v16_folder.inspect + ' && ' + \ 'ditto ' + v15_extension.inspect + ' ' + v16_extension.inspect system(command)john

Hello
I'm still trying to install Visualizer 1.3 on a Mac running El Capitan 10.11.5 with SketchUp v. 16.1.1451
Can anyone give me step-by-step instructions? Or point me to some?
Thanks!

Visualizer will not install in SketchUp v16 without tricking it to do so...
temporarily renaming SketchUp 2016 folder in Finder to SketchUp 2015 will allow the download to make the the v15 files...
once downloaded, change the name back and run the ruby code posted in the post above...

Thanks, driven, for this help. I find, though, that I don't have a folder called "SketchUp 2016" on my Mac. Do you mean in the applications?
I had SU 8 until now and recently upgraded to SU 2016, in case that makes a difference.
-
Quick clarification: the folder SketchUp is in on my Mac is just called "SketchUp".
-
Applications/SketchUp 2016 is the one I refer too...

Got it. Thanks!
I was able to install it. Thanks for your help!

Hi Fred,
Just so its clear, because I didnt think it was possible. You managed(with John's help) to get Visualizer installed on a Mac with only Sketchup2016 installed.

Hi willanie
Yes, that's correct, and I was glad to see that Visualizer works fairly quickly on my MacBook Pro Retina 13" 2014, with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM.

Does anyone know if there is a 32bit Visualizer version available? Thanks
-
There is no 32bit Visualizer version

Hello,
I have installed Visualizer 1.3 and it works with 2015 (on MAC OS). However there are two issues.
The first, is that anytime I close out of the program while modeling it generates a crash report.
The second issue is that it doesn't appear in the Library/Application Support/SketchUp2015/SketchUp/Plugins folder which means I can't copy the Visualizer folder or the ruby file over to the SketchUp 2016.
Anyone have any ideas? Anything would help. Thanks in advance.
T.

@driven: Thank you! Thank you so much! It's now up and running nicely!

Hi Pilou,
Quoi faire, si je n'ai pas 2015 comme voi de migrer. J'ai une installation frais de 2016 et installer Visualizer c'est impossible (Vous n'avez pas SketchUp 2013, 2014 ou 2015).
Est-ce que tu a un trick pour cela aussi?
Merci en avance,

Hi,
Does something like that work on Windows 7 as well? I tried with renaming the 64-bit program directory from SketchUp 2016 in SketchUp 2015 - but that was apparently too easy... Still the message: You need 2013, 2014 or 2015....

Visualizer fonctionne aussi sur la 2015 avec au moins les versions de Window 8 et windows 10 que j'avais installées!
