If page numbering ever happens in LO you might be given the option to add prefixes to your page numbers. This is possible to do in InDesign and you could arrange page numbers exactly as you have described below - with a chapter number prefix for the type of drawing (1 for site plan, 2 for floor plan, 3 for section etc) and then the page numbers could be generated as you add pages. Its a really handy feature of indesign and would be really handy in LO - but as Gaieus said this has been asked for many times, just hoping that if its said enough the next release of LO might include this feature and save me having to manually do it!

THANKS! (for the disappointing news...)

Is the a place to add my voice for this request somewhere?

EDIT: oh look a Wish list thread - 😕

I'm not quite sure I understand the question but the one with the box samples the actual values SU is using whereas the monitor one samples whatever pixel color happens to be on your screen at the time.

This is all very valuable stuff. Thank you everyone who has contributed to my question.

I've posted to the RenderIN website as well this issue is a complete problem for windows users. Has RenderIN made a fix for this to anyones knowledge?

SU from VW imports Default Style 1600 px.jpgSU from VW imports HiddenLineStyle 1600 px.jpgI have tried nearly every option for importing a VW model into SketchUp, and recently found software that does a good job. 'Transmutr' is a standalone application (not a plugin for SU.) See below for a comparison of various VW export/SU import approaches. Many of them fail to include the line work, so I've shown the results in both SU 'Default Style' and 'Hidden Line' to illustrate. I feel like Transmutr is the way to go, at least at present.

Can you post the plugin? It looks fun and useful.

Bugsplat is a little program (not from Google) that tries to get useful information on a crash before Sketchup is completely closed. So the Sketchup developers may have some hints in the bug report where the error might be.

cmeed - great stuff! It is the closest I've ever seen to Croatian Naive Painting in rendering...

and have wanted to create some 3D Naive for a long time. 😄

Keep up the great work... the hand of an artist will create art.

(I was in several meetings with an architect who would paint using his coffee. 😆 )

I thought of that, but there's a lot of them in there and I'm not sure what ruby file do what function in some cases?

validate that this is a real DWG (and not another format with a renamed file extension) by opening in the free Teigha Viewer f. Mac OS X v10.6+.

hth,

so that hasn't done the trick, the attachment here shows its in. Also on the left I've included your pic your plugin folder. I may just highlighting my lack of knowledge on the subject here, but an icon seems different to yours - see freescale.plugin. would that be it?

I also get
please install progressbar.rb from smustard

which you can see i have.

So I have it working now!!!! - I have icons and evertyhing its fine!! thank you!!!

I bet you where going to tell me to put a file called DEFPARAM_Dir in there, well I have, i read that else where, maybe TBD actually told me. so its working ok.

Is Putting plugins in the Users/Library/Application Support/SketchUp7/Sketchup/Plugins
something new to look out for?? - so once it doesn't work in usual place put it here?? see if it works

fantastic plugin by the way I'm using it already and its only 10 minutes old. get in.

very funny.

thanks G,
that has worked! great! although I was dragging and dropping from the mix menus before, only until i opened a new window started again - loading my style again - mixed it up - did it work. I did the same thing last night. hey its worked. i'll post the style when i've met my deadline.

cmead,

This subforum is for sharing components not for talking about styles. You have already asked for a da Vinci style and never visited that thread back: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10135

also, please, avoid double posting all over the places, see topic:

-----------Put TTF file in WINDOWS FONTS folder and open SKP/// .enjoy! 😉
