Good looking render but one thing that really sticks out and bothers me are the verticals.

A bit pricey but seem pretty power packed and portable plus no bloatware

Looking for software to mix a rendered animation with live video. Had a look at Premier Pro and After Effects, not sure if either does what I want, can anyone point me in the right direction ?, thanks

Couldn't decipher how Through the Wall works exactly.

I think it is not a scan through walls (something like an x-ray camera app ) but an augmented reality app, that can show you hidden elements like electric cables etc. - but these have to be build in 3D before you can blend them over the realtime camera view.

Close, it uses as-built info that was collected during construction. We do these types of as-builts all the time, guess it would be handy at the project years after it has been completed and not opening up CAD.

From Trimble
"Through-the-Wall gives building operators the ability to see what's behind the wall, integrating Tango's integrated spatial tracking capabilities and mapping support with geospatially tagged Building Information Models ("BIM") and other sources of as-built model data describing the building's infrastructure. Tango's tracking stability keeps models from 'jittering' in the view, a problem typically experienced with other Augmented Reality platforms. Additionally, Tango's sparse mapping allows users to populate large areas with highly accurate models without need of optical targets or other reference points."

Picture isn't showing, attach it to your post, might get more of a response

sdmitch, installed latest version through Sketchucation Plugin Store, here is what shows in the ruby console when executing the plugin.

Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion from nil to integer>

Thanks for your help.

Just checked my plugins folder, for some reason neither a spindles or post folder was created, weird.

Nevermind, folder was created and after trying again, deck builder works as advertised, even weirder

Working now, thanks.

sdmitch, great plugin, last version worked well for me except on curves, this new version doesn't work for me at all, no matter how I draw the face when I execute the plugin, it hangs for a bit then just reverses the face. Windows 7, IE 11, Sketchup 2014 Pro

Hi, looking for some help. Running Windows 7, IE 11, Sketchup 2014 Pro. I did a windows update several days ago which included some kind of update for IE 11, I think this is what caused my issue and I can't fix it. Sketchucation Tools 2.6 plugin store window is now blank. I've cleared the IE cache, made sure Java was enabled, did a cntrl+f5 with the plugin store window open, nothing has work. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Mike

Two plugins come to mind, both are paid. Artisan by Whaat or Vertex Tools by thomthom.

I agree with alpro but you need to have AutoCAD Arch to do this in. If you have it then be in plan mode and then go to file and export to AutoCAD. This will give you a clean, flat 2D plan. If you don't have AutoCAD Architecture maybe ask the people you got it from to do it for you. It only takes a minute of time.

I must not of been clear enough, you can do this just with SU Pro. I get 3D cad models all the time, sometimes I just what it in 2D. I import the 3D dwg into SU, go to top view, parallel camera, then export 2D graphic in dwg format. I then open a new SU window and import my export, everything is now 2D.

Mike

I would go to top view, parallel projection, then export 2D graphic in dwg or dxf, re-import and all should be 2D. I should add that's if you have the pro version.

Mike

Just a guess but did it come in as a group and you're texturing the group and not the actual face

Mike

Hope to see some pics and hear some news, unfortunately I had to cancel at the last minute and eat the cost

Very cool, I like that you can go from the render to the actual construction like that.

Very impressive and very cool, thanks for sharing.

Or you can try kml or kmz and another online converter like this http://www.zonums.com/online/kml2shp.php
