how can i learn to work on this plugin?

i see the parameter window under my sketchup, but the result are blank.

How do I install LibFredo 6 (new release.
I have try to install with the skechucation toolbar.. Autoinstall don't do anything. I have to install all by .RBZ (for me is the only way to install any plugins)

Any suggestions?

I can say that I've had a very good experience with a Quadro card. My machine is as follows:

BOXX 4920 Xtreme
Hex-core i7 @ 4.5GHz, 32GB ram, Quadro 4000.

Granted, I know a lot of the performance is due to the processor speeds, but the graphics card has always been more than enough for anything I've ever thrown at it. I've worked on an model detailed enough to be used for construction details and was in excess of a million faces, and it was faster than most 20 mb models on my work machine. I would heartily recommend the Quadros. They're pricey, but totally worth it.

GREETING MY FRIENDS::

I just want to share my BAD EXPERIENCE in SKETCHUP with a Geforce GTX 780M...

Unfortunately, I think I made a bad choice in pick up one Geforce for my work. Despite of its great fastness and power horse of a GTX 780M, this card "couldn`t" handle my 3 million edges 3D work in SKETCHUP... I am pissed of about it..

a little bit of my story:

recently I bought a new laptop so I can replace the old one and get done my ultimate Architecture JOB... This JOB is a very complex 3D, with many, many layer, drawing in STELL FRAMES and ELIPTICAL SHPAPES, plus TRELLIS and so on...

After I check the GPU market, and after many many hours research for a nice GPU card that handle this job, and most of all, that handle 3D application softwares like PHOTOSHOP CS5, AUTOCAD 2010, SKETCHUP 2013, RHINO 5, ARCHICAD, ARTLANTIS 4, ILLUSTRATOR, OFFICE, and more 1 or 2, etc.. I think I made a BIG BAD choice by pick up a GAMING CARD for work. I think mostly because of its big specs, compare GTX and QUADRO, like memory bandwith, cudas, directx, etc, plus it`s mature drivers that are more COMPATIBLE with numerous softwares... So I pic a GTX 780M... a really BAD BAD CHOICE here.!!!!

my laptop is a:
CLEVO P150SM (SAGER in USA)
15,5" Full HD 95% High Color Gamut
i7 4710MQ 2,5Ghz - 3,5Ghz
GTX 780M
16Gb RAM G-Skills 1600 CL9
SSD Samsung 840 Pro 256Gb

All the hardware components have a really nice configuration, and they are very, very, fast in calculate multitasking, open and close applications, transfer, open and close apps... Although I was surprising by the BAD SMOOTHNESS in VIEWPORT WORKFLOW of this card...

Has most of us know, all 3D applications require a SMOOTH REAL TIME VIEWPORT, so we can have the SHADER, SHADOWS, TRANSPARENCES, and ALL LAYER turned ON, for get that work done...But its getting impossible with this card... And I have to say that I bought bought this laptop about 5 days ago.

I have to say, I am BIG DISAPOINTED with the WORST and BAD PERFORMANCE of the GTX 780M on that matter. It simply not handle the 3D ROTATE, or the SHADOWS turn on when I need to ROTATE... I am really pieced of and very irritated about this.

I have contact Mrs Bob from RHINO McNeel FORUM, to ask him what GPU and Hardware he recommended to use RHINO 5 in smooth viewport workflow... And he say: "that my configuration is enough... He had a GT750M and work like charm..."

...So I start to think about WHAT IT COULD BE, for my GTX 780M wont work properly...?????

I have to say, that I already test the card into 2 benchmarks... SPECviewperf 12 and SPECwpc... I have to admit that results, from SPECviewperf 12 was a disaster... Some parts of benchmark, like CATIA, ENERGY, MEDICAL are really fine. But SIEMENS and some others have a very low values like 2,5 min - 4,3max (very low results if we compare this GTX 780M with a K1000M or K2000M)..

. Does the QUADRO K3100M can handle my job?
. Does Quadro K3100M card are a "must have" for those u just work, and don't want to play games at all ???
. Does QUADRO cards are more reliable for any 3D Sofware that use OpenGL?
. Can I get a smooth 3D rotate in VIEWPORTS, for example in SKETCHUP, or RHINO? (two apps that use OpenGL)??
. Should I change GTX 780M for a QUADRO K3100M (the maximum Quadro GPU that my laptop support)???
. Does QUADRO K3100M still do the job in other apps? like AUTOCAD 2010(12), PHOTOSHOP, ARTLANTIS, V-RAY, or other?

...Or if I choose that QUADRO card, I only get 100% performance if I work on certification drivers?

because, QUADRO cards seems to not have great updates of its DRIVERS.. It seams they only work in some 3D app.. Like solidworks, maya etc...

....I don't need speed... I just need to complete my job, fast and smooth rotate in real viewport...

So if one could tell me what GPU CARD should I change for this, so I can a nice workflow in 3D apps.. or specially, in that soft wares that I mentioned just above.

the only solution I was able to find, it was using/drawing 2 ellipses.

1º draw in X plan
2º draw in high in Y plan
3º revolve or loft.

but in this solution I get an ugly regular elliptical shape.

HELLO People.

I have to say that i have been working on my structure. But everyday pass I find more troubles! shit for it!

I am start to think that I miss some points.

First I was working with MOI software (lovely and simple). Therefore I star learning RHINO (like in one week)... just about to love that software.. BUT my structure still having troubles.

The last perpendicular to x plane (parallel to y plane) doesn't touch on the others frames. And because of that it is getting impossible to draw the oval shape.

I make an array by the elliptical path.. everything went nice beside that last perpendicular frame. The problem are in that last arch curve. And I can not find the solution for it.

like this?
(note- last segment is 1.75m instead of 2.4m)

[attachment=0:h1ktb1n9]<!-- ia0 -->2_4m.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:h1ktb1n9]

if this is right, i'll do one with the surface included.. the vertices along the ellipse of the other one i uploaded won't match up with these ones. (it's sometimes tricky dealing with nurbs surfaces which have been converted to meshes.. it's best to have everything joined up in the nurbs app prior to meshing.. that will allow all the vertices to match between the different parts)

[going to sleep soon.. leave a note if this version is right and i'll post another version in the morning][/quote]

....................................................................

That`s right bro...yupi, yupi!

You are the great boss here.

Manny manny Thanks you, one more time.

It doesn't metter if the end close are different then 2,40meter measure. It have to be. Other wise, I have to calculate and redraw all ellipse to find every 2,40meter in equal segments.

..I am gone open your SKP file this time, to see if the version save is ok.

Will contact to you soon.

If I leave EUA, or were you leave, I will buy you a drink my friend. You are priceless

You can also try the little brother of Rhino
"Moment of Inspiration" a little more easy to learn!
(Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V is possible in the 2 ways between Moi and Rhino !!! )

You can use the demo infinite without save!
Some sufficient for have the distances! A sort of super 3D Geometric drwawer tool!
Here you propagate a point on the arc elllipse as you want then draw your Perpendicular lines by hands (helpers Lines are terrific )
all that take maybe 10 seconds! it's one of your ellipse!

Hello there...

Thanks for answer and try to help. I have to say that I never had notice about that software. I will find out more about it... Can you say to me if it is possible to export to SKETCHUP, or AUTOCAD?

And about the trial version? Do I have 7 day for testing or no? In trial version still possible to export, save or something like that?

best greetings

that right...yupi, yupi!

You are the boss.

Thanks one more time.

Please, save it in SKETCHUP 2013, or SKETCHUP 8....

The file you give to me is in SKP 2014 version ... It`s impossible to open newer versions on earlier one.

Ups! sorry.. I forget to say...

Let me correct... The main objective is to draw equal segments, starting at the minor axis (the one parallel to front view) WITH 2.40 meter (that`s the exactly dimension I need).

And if in the "nose" results with a different dimensions, there is no problem. Because that's the centre, and there are a main entry under the dome (like a FOYER entry, before going to the show room)
