@Box 3D Connection support had me doing that about 4 times. Still waiting to hear back on the latest round of 'Fixes'. Will be next year I expect. But having fun with SU24.

@Rich-O-Brien Yes it works in the SU24 trial. So decision-decision...

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Tried the plugin rename and made a new plugin folder with just the Space mouse stuff. Rebooted and all. No joy.
I estimate I have spent about 15 hours on this now.
3dConnection support have had me doing everything apart from taking the back off the PC!

Just about ready to give up on this
.
I was going to bite the bullet and subscribe to SU23 just to have the S/Mouse working, but I notice a lot of people still having trouble with getting it to work.

Hope you have a good hols.
Cheers

@Box LOL. Merry Christmas.

In my twenty years with this Forum, I don't think I have ever had a post not responded to, even if it's just "RTFM"

Have I posted this in the wrong discussion? Or is it insoluble?

I am still trying to trace the problem with support but nothing works
.
However this appears in the Ruby console window with this query...

load “3dxSketchup.rb”

Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method “3dxSketchup' for main:Object> <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

Does anyone know what that means? Anybody?

PS: I have just tried the same install on my W/shop PC, which has very similar specs to the Studio PC. Exactly the same result, which I think rules out user or machine error.

I cannot get my new spacemouse to work in Su. (Works fine in Autodesk Fusion, but zoom in/out only in SU)
I have been going back and forth with 3DConnection support for days now and we cant find the problem. (Numerous configs, uninstalls, re-installs, driver roll-backs etc etc).
The 3Dx plugin does appear in the Extension Manager but only after this load error appears on startup, Be much appreciated if anybody could explain it?
Cheers Baz.

@L-i-am Totally agree with removing the car, but perhaps a human or two in the lounge space?

Hi Box. Hope you are well. See my reply to Rich. All done, hopefully. Cheers Baz

Hey thanks Rich. I had no idea such a service existed.
Just signed up, got my address and then ordered the Shaper.
So, done deal. Fingers crossed.
Baz

I am very keen to get hold of a Shaper Origin. (See link below).
For some obscure reason they are unwilling to ship to Australia.

So If ordered one and had it sent to a USA address, would anyone be willing to send it on to me? It would be a simple matter of re-addressing and paying the freight, no re-packing required.
Of course I would cover all costs.

And it's a lot of money for me, so ideally it would be a forum member that I have had interactions with over the years. (I started with V5 and joined this forum about 20 years ago!)

Is this a crazy idea?

I am pretty much retired but I still spend most of my time in the studio.
I have always been a tech-head as well as a traditional woodworker, but until the Shaper turned up, CNC has always been out of my reach.

I would have a lot of fun with this piece of kit. (Currently, I am just beginning a Teardrop camper for a client, with mostly boat building techniques).

Cheers, Baz.

PS: I can only afford a refurbished unit, which is only available in the States.
PPS: I am fully aware of the difference in Voltages, that wont be a problem.

@RICHARD-STIERS Re: time cleaning up the interior, suggest you try 'Solid Inspector' by ThomThom. Works like a charm.

Love the glasswork, beautiful.

[/quote] Yeah. So Eneroth Viewport Resizer2 makes it simple to get the exact aspect ratio desired.[/quote]

I think I'm getting a bit 'Old School'. I really don't need a plugin to resize a window.
( And possibly getting a bit cranky too

@dave r said:

I usually don't worry about the aspect ratio of the exported view. I'll crop and resize it to what I want in my image editor. I find that is easier when combining different images, too..

Yes, that is what I do too, but he seems to want a native aspect ratio export. Which would be easier and quicker if he doesn't want to stuff around with image editors.

Pretty simple workaround, resize your window and export.
If you need an accurate ratio, draw a suitable rectangle in the model and carefully bring the window sides into it. Either hide or delete the ratio rectangle and export.

Rich me old darling, thank you for the mind bending, over complicated and frankly beyond me workaround.

You say: 'That contract is no longer in effect'. But that has nothing to do with my contract.
You say: 'I would expect it to stop eventually'. Nobody told me the software was limited in that way.
You say: 'Annoying? but expected.' Expected by who? Certainly not me.

I am no lawyer, but natural justice seems to being abused here.

C'mon, class action anyone?

Cheers Box.
Hopefully there might be a way of getting 'Sandbox' type geo-location into legacy SU, but I won't be holding my breath.
My extreme workaround, (which I just thought of), could be to import a bitmap image of the contours, trace 'em and work 'em to their elevations. Then Drape the image? PITA but doable, I think.

Well as Tig suggested I can punch the Lat Long in. But with no imagery/contours as per the 'Geo-Location' that I have had the use of for 10+ years..

...I repeat, this was a feature which I paid for that has been removed from my licensed software.

And although I can set the actual location manually, which is still useful for shadow studies, I can't see anyway to get the actual geometry of the location into the model as I used to.

I am not expecting any satisfaction here, I think Trimble has some sort of 'get out' in the fine print.

Doesn't stop me being pissed off 'tho.

Am a little bit surprised that no one, apart from Tig with a workaround, has responded to this.
Everyone has moved on I s'pose.
Getting old is a bugger.

Thanks Tig. Forgot all about that. Problem solved. Cheers.
