Hi @samuel_t

Thanks for getting back to me.
Iv'e just tested and it works very fine

Just a quick question - is it possible to copy paste a node?

Jorgensen

@samuel_t ah ok - Thanks

@samuel_t bump

@samuel_t components?

Hi @samuel_t

MATERIAL NODE
What I meant was, if it is possible to handle material parameters like

• color
• opacity
• image source (path)
• image size x
• image size y

The use for this would be, creating a material, and two or more bitmap nodes, this way is fast to change and test different material settings, eg. by switching between the two bitmap nodes.

SLIDER NODE
A slider node for fast and easy way to change values, and seem them change without having to think about a number - just watching the result.

COMPONENTS
Would it possible to use components instead of groups? it would be very usefull to copy components around, and when you edit one, you edit all.
It might allready be possible, and I have just overlooked it.

An example - a simple hotel - I created one component, use nodes to construct the hotel and BAM. It could hotel rooms, as components, that can be copied around.
Then it's easy to add details and update the whole project in one operation.

In the example I created a component, the single one on the left. I then used Node editor to copy the component, but they become groups, and when I change the first component - nothing happens - of cource.

Could be interresting

Hi Samuel

Would it be possible to use nodes, to control materials, or don’t you have access to the materials?

Hi

I wonder if any in here knows a way of using Sketchup as part of a tool to do early calculations of CO2e / m3 / year?

If seen this tool https://www.caala.de/ that should somehow work, but I have not tried it yet, and just wanted to hear if anyone knows of alternatives?

Thanks
Jorgensen

@samuel_t ah ok - Thanks

Hi Samuel - thanks for the reply. I know all to good, having to many projects and to little time. I hope you find the the time to develop it further in the future.

Just a quick question - is it possible to use the nodes with allready modeled geometry - like creating arrays of components?

Keep up the nice work
Jorgensen

@Dan-Rathbun Hi Dan. I haven't heard of Live Components - I need to look into that.

Thanks

Hi

I've been jealous of the users of Rhino for some years - that they have the node based tool - grasshopper.

This morning I search for something similar for Sketchup, and I discovered the plugin " Parametric Modeling" by Samuel Tallet. It seems to be what I was searching for!
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=parametric_modeling

I think node based modeling could be a big think for Sketchup, but it seems development stopped back in 2021, witch I find sad....

I have tried to find a way to contact Samuel, but I was not able to so
Does anynoe know a way of contacting Samuel, or know of a similar project?
