New version

Well finally got around to getting the Vive setup. Steam was a bit of a PIA, wouldn't connect to the server from the Vive setup, had to go to Steam, download and install from there which took 3 times for some reason, all in all bout 2 hr setup from mounting the base stations, to installing software, creating Vive and Steam accounts, and going through the setup. As a side note took about an hour to get Sketchup setup on the new rig, why after all these years can't I export a customization file from sketchup and import into a new install? Such a pain setting toolbars up. Oh well tomorrow I'll get Enscape up and running.

Here is where Leonard talks about the project.

I ended up going with strucalc, price wasn't bad, plenty of youtube videos, and pretty straight forward learning curve.

If you just want to make image you have no need to make elaborate UV!
Modern renderer can make render directly! 😄

Where you see default on the image following on the "vertical flat surface" ?
(even it's complicated automatic splits by SketchUp itself)

Haha, guess that's what happens when I don't visit every day. Awesome plugin though.

@krisidious and pbacot yes it's for visuals for a development, industrial.

@pbacot yes I have 3ds Max but know how to only do simple things in it and have no idea how to create things to the correct size. Originally I wanted to do this in Infraworks but everytime I brought in the shape files for roads, rails, and water areas the terrain was getting all screwy and I kept getting crashes.

@solo I tested just exporting the terrain to LRT on draft and it only took a few minutes so hopefully when everything else is added it won't be too bad or maybe I'll just have to export it in pieces, I think the real issue will be rendering out an animation with superior lighting.

Whaat -

Is there a particular reason you don't offer Profile Builder 2 through the Sketchucation Plugin Store? I really object to having to create a Google account in order to purchase through the Extension Warehouse, but I'm keen on purchasing your plugin.

Don't ask me where or when, but I recently read that it seems that Google Earth will be discontinued (fairly soon) and they are moving focus to Google Maps. Making GE Pro free seems to lend legitimacy to that.

But hey, I already installed GE Pro, hopping to get the most out of it until further notice.

Blender can now do that for free! 😄
See section "Full Compositor" !
That is a monster who go anywhere! 💚

Yeah I signed up about 2 months ago, no word yet.

Thanks for the reply. An example of linework code would be BC + and BC -, where BC is the description and the +/- are the linework codes telling the line to start or end here.

Good Lord an architect 'designed' that monstrosity!! Ugg, my sympathies go out to you 😄

Hey I work like two blocks from there, neat! It's this a proposed project or something else (school, just for fun, etc..)? I've love to see something happen there.

I'm a fan of the Pazera video converters suite which converts most things to most other things and also does batch processing

Glad I could help.
