Is there a plugin that does shadow color by layer? If not can someone help me to create one? I really need something like that for my work.

Thanks

Hi

Is it possible to give Scene Tabs colors so that it becomes possible to make groups? Or is there a plugin that can do that? If anyone can help me that would be great I've attached a photoshoped image to illustrate what I mean.

Cheers
Flip

Interesting!

I'm working on a parametric modeler that could hopefully(one day ) do this sort of things.

I was able to make this urban plan combining Jeff's Beer tool and this new Modelur Pre Beta, urban design plugin which in combination with a 'height-' 'and a build-up-area'-map really awesomefies Jeff's beer tool.

Next step is multi- attractors
make two of those magnets and let the strengths fight each other

Yep like this image

@Jeff

I just made this and gave it a twist. Very awesome!

here's possibly the most basic dynamic component ever made

haha...yes it always point to the center line but it is not magnetic. I tried to use the sketchyphysics tool but it only works for Sketchup7. And it is not easy to use.

Hi Jeff, I'm not trying to compete with Zaha. I have been using sketchup since the very beginning. In the beginning I started to do some simple architecture using sketchup but now years later I'm doing some pretty advanced architecture designs using sketchup where I'm trying to reach the limits of the program.

I'm very exited about sketchup2015 because the 64bit version makes much more possible.

Off course I can use Rhino to do some modelling. But at the end my clients want to see a Sketchup model because for them a sketchup model is easy to read.

I did some experimenting with the pathcopy tool and some curved lines. I used 2 magnetic points here. But it will become really interesting if I can add 3,4 or 5 magnetic points.

I'm just a user...not a developer, but I can assure everyone that we are using sketchup to make the most awesome architecture here in our office.

don't you guys have a copy of rhino in your office?
i'm pretty sure zaha used paneling tools to create this.. possibly in conjunction with a custom script..
it's super powerful for various types of attractors etc..

On a side note, there is always Sketchy Physics for using Magnetism.[...]
But it's a magnetic thread so I had to do something.

heh.. neat

waaaah! This looks very cool!

I also added some cool architecture pics
