I just get a model with thousands of groups and components where all axis are wrong. I'm looking for that plugin too.

Hej,
Where could we found an updated version? clf_repeat_copy itsn't working in SU 2018 or newer.

after the align is done, is there a way to adjust the distance between the surface and the camera to a chosen distance?

In watermarks and settings, enable mask just for selected layers or materials.
That could be a time saver. Image "postprossesing" iside SU adn avoiding to export masks to do it in other softwares.

Had some one ever tried to model in virtual reality? Could that be possible in a future in Sketchup?

Is there any forum group in Sketchucation thinking on that? and looking for best alternatives to do that nowadays?

Hey!

I wonder if there is any plugin able to extrude multyple faces, where the extruded length of every single face should be proportional to his area.

Any help?

Thanks in advance:)

Hi,

This is a kind of dummy question.

But, is there any way to get back a model from a .vrmesh?

Last week I did a nice tree in Sketchup, that finally I import to a V-ray proxy.
Simple-minded I never save the .skp, file of that nice tree. That unfortunatelly now I just have as a .vrmesh.

I leave the .skp file, the vrmesh and materials, so att least you can enjoy the proxy.

Any help, will be welcome:)

Sketchup file plus textures, vrmesh and vrmat.

Hello,

I have done a forest with different proxies trees.
To create the trees I followed the instructions from this link below:

http://help.chaosgroup.com/vray/help/sketchup/150PB/tutorials_2d_proxies.htm

Now I would like to change some settings from the trees textures to effect on the Alpha channel.

How could I change vray proxy textures once the proxy is done?

(I want to use the alpha channel for post production in some program like Photoshop)

Thank's in advance!

First of all, nice work Daniel:)

Hej to all,

Pilou posted a video where on the minute 1:05, there is a guy using SU. And looks like, he is using a plugin to create a dirty or occlusion map for the sculpture he is working on.

Does any one know what is he using to create this kind of map?

Thank's for advance!

Yess this annoying... I hope that this will be fix on the next update.

Thanks for the answer any way:)

Hey Devin Kendig,

here the example:

The video is not so clear, but this shows how all time I close any vray dialog box SU file minimizes instantly if i have other Su files open.

Hey to all,

Here comes my wish, I think that it would be really useful that the alpha transparency from the textures in the model could be still active in the color by layer... hehe may be I wish to much?:)

When using color by layer we can already use an image with alpha transparency, but we don't have the same setting facilities that we have when we work on shaded with textures.

I use to work using color by layer to create fast images that then I use like "masks" or "channels" for post production in other programs.

Hey to all,

Is there any easy way to change multiple layer colors on the same time? Instead than going one by one.

Thanks

Hey all,

Here comes one of my wishes:)

Sometimes to sett the fog, could results quite difficult when it requires precision. It would be nice, to have a longer bar to sett the fog.

In my case i use fog, to create fasts "ZDepth masks images" for post production.

Thanks.

""alt + tab" is faster (if there aren't too many windows open) ..."

Thanks Cotty, nice trick to know!

But, In my case I use to work with to many windows open.

Hey to all,

I wonder if there is a quicker shortcut, plugin, tip or trick to switch between open models in SU, more than (in Windows) go to windows desktop bar and choose in between the open files.

I thing it would be really handy to smooth work flow.

Thanks

Hey all,

(This is my first post, I hope this will be the beginning of a nice long history here in Sketchucation:)

After using and close Vray material editor, options editor or Vfb. The Sketchup window minimizes.

This happens when I let open any Vray dialog box in Sketchup and I change to another computer task. Then when I turn back to Sketchup and I close those open Vray dialog boxes Sketchup windows minimizes in the same time.

Any solution?

Thank you all in advance.

I use:

• SU pro 2013, Vray 2.0. (I already had this problem in older Vray and SU versions).
• Windows 7 professional, i7 CPU, 64 bits, RAM 16,2,93GHz
