Lost my vistools and could find it... This has been the most used tool in my toolsbars. But for some reason I lost it and could make it appear... Must be some plugins that I installed that caused it to disappear. Tried reinstalling via Pluginstore but still it wont show up.

RE: [Plugin] FloorGenerator ( Updated 6-Apr-2017)
Hi SD Mitch..Excellent , excellent , plugin, wow...this will be very useful. There are two things though. How do you control the magnitude of the imperfections. For example in the wood type, the imperfections( like the levels )are a bit to strong.
The other thing is, in reality when tiles are set they are not perfectly leveled in Z , it will be most evident when you see the reflection of objects in aglossy floor. Is it possible to randomly rotate each by its center axis say about .2 to .5 degree in both x & y?
This might be too much to ask.. Otherwise hey, I can do it manually...Thanks for the wonderful plugin...

RE: Problem importing 3d files in dwg format
Solved!!! I just tried inserting with the "inch" unit rather than the "mm". I was thinking that If I change the unit in CAD to mm and scale the object accordingly. It will be imported with the same mm unit. This model is probably modeled in the inch unit (Im guessing). I tried bringing back the unit to inch in autocad and inserted with the inch unit in the import option (though Im in mm unit in SKP) The size matched very well and the model is no longer broken. Thanks everyone for your input.

Problem importing 3d files in dwg format
I always find trouble importing pre-made models in dwg format. A good model with a perfect mesh would land in sketchup broken and unusable. Is there something Im not doing right. This is a recurring problem that I just brush aside and always end up redoing or repairing the model.
Still most furniture company publish their 3d blocks in dwg format. Hope there's a fix to this.

RE: Lock selection??
Yes, your plugin is so nice and useful. But what I meant by "lock selection" is not to lock the objects but only the selection. Meaning if I have 3 objects selected, and lock it, I wont be able to select any other object in the scene. In this way, I can make sure, I wont be able to select any other object in the scene, In case I want to manipulate them. This is a very useful toggle button in 3ds max.

Lock selection??
HI everyone, What is the tool to lock selection?. I know that we can lock objects, so it cant be edited. Im aware that we can lock layers but can we lock selection so we can not select anything else until the selection is unlocked?

RE: Reflections
Really nice work.. Keep wondering which part of the image is model, and which part is photoshop. Is the wet road a 3d model?

RE: Bedroom
very lovely renders... Did you model everything in SU? Very nicely textured. Wish I could make these model of pillows and blanket. Very nice curtain. The only thing I feel is that the colors are lacking saturation, I mean the colors are just a little bit bland to come alive, maybe its a style, or maybe just my over-bright screen.
One other thing, In the first image the wall lamp is throwing a bright spot but it doesnt look lit. Great work overall!

RE: Pocket Knife
Wow super high poly for a knife. In reality tiny things are harder to model. But hey, nice clean modelling
. If I have choice, I would have every piece of my model this detailed if SU can handle them.

RE: American cinema

RE: Problem with hi-res texture maps
@thomthom said:
Use a low res texture in the main (top diffuse) the one that's linked with SketchUp. Set its Transparancy slot ot use a TexAColor map - set to white colour. That way the layer is not visible in the render, but visible in SketchUp.
Then create a second diffuse layer with the high-res texture - this is the one you'll see when you render.
Is this a good practice in general, to have two versions of maps, one low res and high res?Will it make my skp file more manageable in size but will yield better texture quality in the render?

RE: Ceramic house
very impressive rendering indeed . I wonder how much time each render takes.
Thea has been taking great leaps!@stefanq said:
WOW! Thea is brilliant in the right hands!
V-ray....be afraid....I have seen lots of Thea renders that are impressive really. If I havent seen the
best of vray (at least in max, which VFSU is trying to catch up ) I 'd have switched.One of these days, I'll try Thea
