Hi Fredo.

Could you add a feature that is like 3ds max's "Display as Box" option, which shows the object as a box in viewport, and shows the actual geometry in render?

I don't mean vrayproxy, that's not editable.

I don't know if that's possible.
Thanks for your great sketchup extensions.

FredoGhost is not aware of the rendering. So, just before rendering, you need to swap the objects from box to their 'real' version.

Hi Fredo

The plugin is very useful.
I want to use it for switching between high and low poly components. However there is one thing that prevents me for using it in many models.
If I do a section cut, then the section cut plane is huge. This is because of the hidden objects you place far away in the FREOO tag.

Is there a way to prevent this huge section cut plane?

Would you have a model to show me the problem. I don't understand what you mean by "the hidden objects you place far away in the FREOO tag".

Hi Fredo
below an example print screen.

The Sketchup model is attached.
When unhiding the FredoGhost tag, we see, that the plane is that huge, due to the hidden FredoGhost objects.

Hi Fredo

I used the Bounding Box Ghosts in all three modes for a nested component.
I am using FredoGhost 1.8a on SketchUp 2021 Jan release.

The original object contains nested components (5 levels). Only the inner most component contains geometry (3 faces). Each components contains 3 sub-components. In total there are 5 components and 120 instances. There are only 81 Faces (3^4) with each 4 edges.

When generating Bounding Boxes "by grouped object" and "by sub-object", then far too many bounding boxes are created. There are many duplicates (roughly 729 = 3^6).
See the attached model.

The mode "by grouped object" created 59094 faces.
The mode "by sub-object" created 63609 faces.

Shows duplicated BB objects

Ghosted with Bounding boxes - too many BB generated

Fredo, I have constant troubles after it became $$. The Ghost constantly (after short period of time) complains it can't find it the license. I feed it, and in a couple of days it starts again.
And now, it refuses to start and demands upgrade (though I already upgaraged and restarted SU several times). Suggestions?
P.S. I have several other commercial ones from you- none of them cause issues

fredo6

Did you upgrade to Skethucation ExtensionStore v4.1.0?

There were problems with the previous version.

rv1974

it didn't help.

fredo6

My fault. I left a check of validity in the code. Nothing to do with the license.

Please ugrade to FredoGhost v1.9a. Should solve the issue.

And thanks for signaling it.

rv1974

Many many thanks- it fixed the issue
