I think you have to contact Trimble tech support to get the license restored.

OK cheers.

My motherboard died with a bang yesterday, ordered a new one and rebuilt the machine today.
Now SU is complaining "This SketchUp Pro license has been used on too many computers".
Obviously I didn't have chance to deactivate the licence on the old motherboard.
Anyway around this? deleting the old licence file doesn't work.
SU2015 Pro.

That's a cool sytle Cotty, is it a default one or one you've created yourself?
Agree that the bump needs reversing. Texturing looks great!

Windowizer 4 does exactly what you are looking for. I'd suggest getting it as the low price is worth it.

Looks pretty neat and daring. I wish how a structural engineer would look at this concept if it would advance to construction detail. Maybe like: ....then

Looks doable to me

Great video, just the right length too imo.

I only have 2 Titans, and the only real software I have found that takes proper advantage of them is Thea as Oli has already mentioned. Nice rig!!

Thanks driven, I should have spotted that! (one radian = 180/π degrees). By the way Josh Madison has a great little free prog that everyone should have on their Desktop...

Wow, I still have the version from years ago that was named MConvert
I keep it on a USB stick as I've always been afraid of losing it as I could never find it online anymore. Thanks for the link!

@driven said:

the way ruby handles radians to degrees must have changed or you have another plugin that is changing the definition and it's effecting this one...

I'll see if I can find any thing...

Cheers, really appreciate your help.

I don't have it installed, but what happens if you enter radians?

Great, that works! What's going on then?

No one come across this issue before?

Is Vray4SU GPU based or CPU based?

Hi,
run into a problem, not sure if its 2105 specific as I no longer have 14 and before installed.
When I have the rotation set to default (0) the member follows the line path fine (on the left in the picture).
On the right, I wanted the RHS to be rotated about 90 degrees, so typed '90' in the rotation box but when I apply it I get something more like 35 degrees. I've tried with different inputs but the output never corresponds to the angle I have chosen. Any ideas?

Hi Juju:

I will discuss a couple plug-ins, but the book's goal is to detail what can be done with native SU and LO, allowing the end user to setup their specific plug-ins to meet their needs. I think people may be surprised at how simple it is to produce very detailed drawings utilizing the native software.

I'm happy to hear this really as books that mention plugins become quickly outdated especially when plugin authors abandon them and don't update for newer versions of Sketchup.
Looking forward to the book.

Great work! Love the comparisons.

As Nick Sonder produces what I consider to be the best drawings in Layout I have ever seen, I will definitely purchase this book. Cant wait!!

Bought this yesterday, I use PB1 a ton so this is a superb update. Thanks to all involved!

Joe pretty much says it all really, I 100% agree.

CADMonkey What's wrong with ArchiCAD?

Hi, I trialled the lite version for 30 days and it was a struggle, maybe you cant teach an old dog new tricks Some things it was great at and some things were very cumbersome, so I decided against a purchase.
Sketchup is just so easy and intuitive, if plusspec is as easy to use as sketchup is then I definitely want it to succeed. I have no doubt that at some point Trimble will release a similar program so plusspec has some time to get itself in front.

Andrew, plusspec looks like the type of program I could drop money on in a heartbeat but without a demo or at least having some questions answered that I have posted a couple of times before I cant take the risk. I want Plusspec to succeed, I cant stand the current range of bloatware out there like Revit and ArchiCAD but paying for a trial just seems wrong. Pirates will always find a way, the only people you hurt are the honest customers who want to see if your software can do what they want. You wont lose customers by having a demo version, you will surely gain!
