Is anyone anymore interested to develop this tool?

Really shows what you can do with the scripting, very nice!!

Yes, Smustard has always honored my hatred of Paypal with google checkout invoices for products I want.

thanks!Point Merger tools v1.2 UPDATED@ 23/06/09

The plugin can be found in the window menu; it's not called found. Look for 'Sketchucation Search' in the Window menu. First post has been updated, sorry for the confusion.

The PDF exporter by Renderplus is actually a cool plugin.

I just fixed 1 and it will be in next release.

2 is harder. It uses inches because Sketchups underlying unit is inches. The SU UI has all kinds of automatic conversion of inches to whatever units are set. The SP UI doesnt have that and it would be tricky to write something that correctly handles every case. Like

1 3/4'

Its possible. But each field I make script controllable it dramatically adds to the complexity of the SP3 code. And it slows the simulation. Both of these issues will be fixed in SPIV.

I think the best fix going forward is to set the joint parameters in an onTick (or whatever) event. So rather than having a formula in the accel field instead in onTick (or whatever) you can do something like this:

> joint.accel=righty*100.0 > joint.min=joint.min+10.0

Great that'll solve some of my problems.

thank you so much. i love the colored pencil/crayon style.. superb.

BTM, Ill see if I can do it but it probably wont be in next version.

Wacov, I have been thinking about doing exactly that. In the form of model level events. And I would also probably setup the objects with an add/remove event UI as well.

please cast your minds back to this: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=a507050360e487cd6227cba038bf7c95&prevstart=0 i think this is what you are talking about, it's a bike that doesn't use any gyros or anything, but relies on an extremely low centre of gravity

Oh sure. I have the embedded sounds working and I am working on a PC wrapper for the better playsound. It will also support .MP3 in addition to .WAV.

how do i import sounds?

I just typed that off the top of my head and made a few errors. Here is a correct version:

> pos=getVar("pos")+(key("up")*0.02)+(key("down")*-0.02);if(pos>1.0);pos=1.0;elsif(pos<0.0);pos=0.0;end;setVar("pos",pos);pos

Thanks. that works. Ive just tried it in a servo and a motor aswell. Works on those too.

Hey, I had one of the 9 lost posts. I had replied and said that this was the best 3dwarehouse model ever,!

Chris

That would be fun to do with one of my planes. I might give it a go

Bug #1 seems very similar to an old one in sp2; that was fixed. In this model, it is fixed if you turn off the thruster setting. I've never found #2 to be an issue.

Let them know what happened. They're pretty nice over there and might be able to get you a little more time.

I just spent a few minutes looking into thi in more depth, and it's not really a useable program per se. Its a bunch of libraries to build into a program. So its not really useful for me. I have no programming abilities.

Maybe Todd, Rick, TBD, or someone else wants to develop a robust cross platform free version for SU 😄 That includes animation no doubt!

Chris

I know it's not a program, that's why I made sure not to include the word program in the title of the thread, but it DOES come with example applications that you can run. My first Idea was to replace the model used in an example with one of my own, exported as a .wrl file, and although I did that, I couldn't find where in any of the code it specified what model to use, and there were no tutorials to show how.

No worries 😄

Is it raw SU output? looks pretty good if it is.

Yup.

shadows at Dark=20, Light=85,
transparency=high,
and anti-aliasing turned on(for all but one image).

By the way, on my mac, I have anti-aliasing, but I can't control how much it works. It's either quite blurry, or grainy. Most people say that you can change it's range in OpenGL, but I don't have any controls but On/Off (under model info> rendering).
