RAL colors
-
I was refering more to gamore's post, i though there was meant to be a link or something...
reading ti again it seems like it might be more of 'this is a tasty little collection' sort of comment.

Thank you Burkhard but none of these are clickable links.
How do you view these posts? -
copy and paste. I just copied the whole text which I made for someone who asked me for coloures.
This is the whole link for pantone, change only the viewtopic in your browser
-
Thanks again and I see what you mean... cut and paste the links.
However the NBS-IBCC link you gave is the same as the ILog and I cannot seem to find NBS-IBCC in the search part of this forum.
Here are the others for easy quick link. Don't mean to step on toes but I thought it easier.
Pantone
RAL
Sherwin Williams

thanks for the ral palette
-
Thanks! I just happen to have a model that needs a paint job! Great!

Just wondering if these RAL colors can be downloaded in English?
-
As .skm files? Don´t know about that. A kind of workaround that I use is a list of RAL classic colour names in english http://www.ral-digital.de/english/ralclassic_namen.htm?content2.shtml
-
If you want to 'rename' these skms 'displayed names' you have to edit all of the skms'
documentProperties.xmlfiles [it's actually a zip file] - this is a pain for that number of files...
So... you write a script/batch file to process each skm in turn, and extract the d..P...xml file and replace the text from a lookup-table e.g.<dp:title>RAL1000-Gruenbeige</dp:title>e.g. RAL1000-Gruenbeige<==>RAL1000-Green beige
Save it all back as was...
etc etc etc...

The original .skm file is a text file with a list of colors, so you should be able to translate the names in that single file.
Rename the file to the name of the library as you want it to appear in SketchUp, then copy the file to the Materials folder (or subfolder of.)
The next time you open that materials folder, the library will be created using the filename you gave it.
-
Exactly where might that be ?
NOT on a PC ?
You can only change the name of the 'collection', but NOT the individual skms themselves - they are embedded in the smk's xml coded file ??? -
yes, i tried it before i posted.
The .skm file in the .zip file in the first post is text file - a list of the material names and color values. Just edit it, rename it (if needed) and move it to the Materials folder.
-
OK, to be more specific, you can change the names of the individual skm files in their folder... BUT they still display with the name that's embedded in the skm itself [at least on a Vista PC].
You can rename a skm to anything you like, but the name that's displayed in the Materials Browser is read from the internal xml file and doesn't change ??? -
OK, changing the 'name' in the text file seems to do nothing on my PC - in fact the text file is superfluous ? If I change it nothing happens, if I removed ditto ???
How come we are some divergent ??? -
I don't know.
First rename the ral-farben.skm to something else. ral-farben-en.skm, for exmaple.
Edit each name in the ral-farben-en.skm and save it to the Materials Folder
Restart SketchUp and open the Materials window - a new library name ral-faben-en should be created using the new material names.
