Somehow I picture Trimble charging a fee to use other people's plugins. Maybe charge a licensing fee to developers.

The latest release from Twinmotion only fixes some bugs, its basically the same as the previous release (2022). I was excited too and thought they may have added new features in this latest release (2022.1), as new releases normally do, but they didn't. I still like it though and its my preferred renderer. Enscape I used a little before Twinmotion but wasn't happy with the final results. Be interesting to see where Chaos take Enscape, hopefully not into chaos

uh oh, I hope not. So far so good, fingers crossed. thats true indeed. VidMate App Spice Money Login MIS Webmail

@solo said: SU 2018 pro, but not using it as much as before, Cinema 4D and Blender are slowly taking over the SU chores. Would like to see a sample of your architectural work in Blender. I have a little trouble visualizing that type of work done in Blender. I see Blender as a good tool for product presentation though. I agree/understand it is not a SketchUcation issue. I think it is more of a reflection of the use of SketchUp. BTW: I have not seen you on the forum lately. Good to see a post from you.

Yes, Blender has gotten rid of "remove doubles" and now relies solely on "merge by distance" now. Never did fix the collada export issues, but doesn't matter as I'm only using Enscape and not rendering in Blender lately.

This is great but the actual [identifying info redacted] would be (Oh!) so much more juicy!

Great stuff Andy. Mr Fox can write this one off as he has no hope of a dinner here I got a great laugh out of this picture, [image: 5mQU_Chickensonladder.jpg]

@albebrigati said: Hello I use vray 2.00.02. 2.00.02 is not a version number. Should be something like 2.00.25774. You can find the specific build number when you go in Sketchup to Window --> Preferences and look at Extensions list and find vray for SU.

Yes I agree, but although I consider it essential I suspect that the devs do not. With the average user in mind I don't think subD is something they will ever need or even be on their radar. Even if you only look at professionals working mostly on architectural projects, subD or Artisan won't come in useful - unless you need to subdivide faces for displacement (now that function should deffinately be an essential part of the sandbox toolset).

@numerobis said: assign material without texture to remove the projection UVs Cheers! assign material without texture using Thrupaint did the trick. (didn't seem to work just assigning with regular SU paint bucket.)

ah, good to know - so it was your lighting that was the issue. Glad you figured it out.

Found a solution! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833114074 I have this adapter now, it works like a charm. Now I can connect my win7 computer and have things working as before on the new machine.

before it was a filleted square which people complained that looked like a letter 'o' on a mobile device I do agree these icons are more prominent that the last but make more sense visually. I will tone down the color scheme when i get time. Isn't evolution great.

I've done a fair bit of research into copyright laws (well in Australia anyway) - turns out if you design a house for a site the client has the right to build that house however only on the subject site! AND the big AND - it doesn't matter if you got paid or NOT! The only way to avoid the issue is to ensure the client signs a contract that states they only have right of use IF they pay! This means that if you indeed supply a design amongst hundreds of other designers - win or not they can still build your design on the subject land! I had a funny run in on the very issue of copyright and my ownership of a copyrighted design. I was lodging an application for a design at the local council, when another designer walked came to the same counter to lodge a design. I couldn't help checking out his plans as he was standing right next to me. Blow me down though it was an exact copy of one of my own previous designs for a set of units. I waited till the application went on public exhibition to get the details of the developer and then approached them direct to raise my issue! We then met to compare plans and walked away with a $10,000 cheque!

Very nice work.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. Just curious, is this list current, is it intended to be kept up?

Done.
