Sketchup in gray scale?
-
Maybe something like this?
Enable Use sun for shading and cross up the sliders. Set the Light slider to the left and the Dark slider to the right.

Thank you Dave R. A simple sweet solution.
Next question: Is there a gray scale option for "Paint Bucket"? Also, simliar to a vector program - 10%, 20% 30%, ... gray? -
No. But I suppose you could make your own library of gray scale values. Find a gray scale online that you could sample from and make a set of "color" swatches to save as a local collection.

There's this Plugin, by Jim...

I thought about suggesting that plugin. I used it to make the grays in the image of the stools. I think it creates grays in more than 11 steps, though, doesn't it?
-
50 steps perhaps.
-
It converts the existing material color's RGB into an integer, and then uses that for the linked GreyScale material's RGB.
So in theory you could have from 0 to 255 ?
Black to white in 256 steps ? -

http://www.smustard.com/script/GreyScaleSketchup 2015 doesn't seem to want to install a rb plugin, only rbz.
-
Where did you get that idea? It's not correct. You can indeed install .rb files in SU2015.
Since this plugin downloads as a zip file, though, change .zip to .rbz and use Install Extension.

As Dave says...
OR if you have the SketchUcation PluginStore Toolset installed, then you can use its submenu item to 'Install Archive...'
The native Installer expects an RBZ archive, but the SCF installer works on both RBZ and ZIP archives - meaning you don't need to fiddle around with the file renaming step - just install from the ZIP in one step.
Also if you happen to have a lone RB file... then you can also zip it, and use the SCF installer directly on that new zip file too...
