this program convert pdf to xls.

Inside the pdf is a table. this is what we want have.

1. choose this.

2. drag the orange mask over the table (top left to bottom right).
   and than move the dark orange header at the end of the header of the table in the pdf.
   you can move the orange column lines to the position of the column line in the pdf.

in the page preview we can see, we have different pages. (the table in the first page have less lines.) you must choose now "First Page Different" and go to the second page and scale the orange mask. you can see all further pages will update this.
in the bottom frame you can see the preview of the table like in Excel.

3. convert . be sure you have choose the excel format.

in Excel safe the result as csv.

now you can use a ruby script that can convert CSV to SKM.

and enjoy

p.s. the pdf files was translated to english

here an example (attacement)

I would wish we could connect all parts of our Construction Kit world wide (WW).

I think in all different continents we have different systems.

Adaptors will be useful to connect different standards,too.

My big dream is, we doesn´t need this all. i mean a WW Standard.

Every producer of hardware create an own standard, I think it´s a little bit stupid.

Yes i know, the producer will only a compatiblity inside the own system.

an other problem is the different measure systems.

my most used app on iphone is an measure app that calculate between different systems.

https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/measures-hd/id452776173?mt=8

here is the problem, only the Apple Apps (iphone/ipad) is in the download.

when i find an app for both systems Android/Apple/or windows mobile apps i must pay again for the second plateform.

i could writing down so many other problems.. however i will stop here. I think all readers here can read between the lines. all readers here understand the main problem. I hope

What i love in Sketchup is: You and I can make the world a little bit easier. And we can sketching our ideas more faster than ever.

greetings from the Innotrans Area in Berlin/Germany

hi,
i have found in the net a cool site about Universal Construction Kit.

on the same page you can find the SHAPEWAYS 3D PRINT MATERIALS KIT

i think in generally, that is more complicate to design a steamloco.
it must be very impressed to see an american steam loco in original.
all engines and cars are a little bit bigger than in europe
good look for your next project and i hope you will find the right refrigerator and flate car you need.

here the Big Boy (for all readers doesn't know the Big Boy)

here a photo to see how big the boy is.

hi jim could be its the right what you are looking for.

about Big Boy. i was joking

what render engine you´re use?

https://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/selectdocs.php?index=co%26amp;id=69

or this on

http://sarplans.steam4me.net/

on this site i have found only a 4 wheel refrigerator car

some times you can find anything on model rail road pages, too.

@whitelock
Try to select your lines and then use hide (from context-menu)

Jim, really awesome work. next project the Big Boy?

He He

city signs look like this here.

the red diagonal line tell that you left the town

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortstafel_(Deutschland

yep i have do like this . for districts we have signs like this in Berlin

hey pilou Merci

the bow over the name sign have the same size i believe.

now i can build french building , too with the Eneroth Townhouse System.

Here the dimensions of street name signs in Berlin (Strassenbenennungsschild). We have different signs in different cities.

the German need longer signs.
Mark Twain have said:
Some German words are so long that they have a perspective.

Hello,
i know this here is the wrong place for my question. however i didn´t know where is the right place for my question.

what is the measure of the "plaque de rue paris"?

thank you.

Dean

cool pilou. some tries with Eneroth Townhouse System. Really awesome plugin.

pictures tell more than 1000 words

Thanks @ all i´ll try your recommendations.

Hi, i have a problem to cut the face when the facade have notches.

the component is a windows.
how i can solve this problem?

thank you

when Sketchup can export this, than yes.

however you can´t drive the trains in Lumion.

try to ask the Lumion support how you can add own objects (cars,locos etc) to drive this in Lumion.

I have seen thats your first post. welcome here.

here a link to the support forum. it seems other users would be animate own vehicles,too.

The building depth varies quite a lot. In Sweden up to 15 m was quite normal in the 1910s. 10 m has also been very common and in smaller towns I don't think 8 vas especially unusual.

Here in DE,too

@unknownuser said:

On this map of my home town you can see how building depth can be vastly different on adjacent buildings, some being twice as deep as the one next door: https://www.google.se/maps/@55.7055163, ... .75z?hl=en.

Nice Town, I love towns with old buildings.

@unknownuser said:

Height has typically been limited by fire regulations. In Sweden, and probably many other European countries, the building height to street width ratio has also been regulated.

Yes in Berlin ,too. At the end of the 19th century to the begin of the 20th century the "Traufhöhe" (the hight to the roof edge) is 22m and the street wide is 22m, too (is an old regulation)

here the picture with the german words (blue is Trauf > cullis/eaves)

In many discussions on the topic of living or for other construction projects in my own constituency which keeps popping up term Berlin eaves height ' on. Short resolution: the 'Berlin eaves height' regulates that Comenius or Rudolf neighbourhood in my constituency, most homes to a maximum height of 22 meters are limited in many Berlin old quarters, which were built at the beginning of the 20th century, approximately in the Boxhagener. Upon my request on this issue in the Senate Department for urban development and environment I has received comprehensive information available, which I love to publish this map:
In relation to the emergence of the 'Berlin eaves height', several factors come together. For one, the maximum height in conjunction with the 1862 in force and after the main author and former Berlin Government building master James Hobrecht stands (1825-1902) named "Hobrecht-plan". The development plan in the order of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior was a direct response to the accelerating industrialization and a resulting rapid population increase in the city of Berlin. This new situation made as mandatory appear necessary for the Kingdom of Prussia an improvement of inner-city relations in Berlin. Through the establishment of so-called 'Baufluchtlinien' (border constructions are prohibited beyond) should be henceforth reduce the urban crowding and increase the security of the Berlin population. From 1875 across the street was set on the plan based the Prussian lines of flight Act of just 22 metres. This resulted in turn, that also the height of the houses has been adjusted to guarantee that fire falling building facades no longer damaged the houses across increasingly to the legal width of the streets. The 'Berlin eaves height' is thus in direct connection with the width of the Berlin streets.
In addition, adopted construction police regulations (forerunner of today's construction order) also the 1887 by the Brandenburg provincial government competent for Berlin plays a more crucial role. Hereby the eaves height (distance from the ground to the roof eaves) was set officially at 22 meters and was henceforth both for setting up front as also backs. Also a minimum yard area was enshrined length (the famous "Berlin courts") of 60 square metres with just under six metres to allow easy turning fire syringes. Focus of the legislation was therefore the security - in particular as regards ensuring the fire safety. In addition to fire protection and fire fighting, a further goal of protection was the rescue of Berlin citizens. Too often, in the past, it had become fatal accidents as a result of smoke and burns. In this context, keep in mind that at that time the stairwells in many upper floors almost exclusively from wood existed and therefore quickly caught fire. So, the demand arose after a second independent escape route. This was ensured by the ladders of the fire brigade, which at the end of the 19th century reached a maximum length of about 19 metres. But also the today's modern turntable ladders rarely come out over a length of 22 meters. This causes remain, that houses which exceed the "Berlin eaves height", special regulations apply with special structural requirements, especially in terms of the staircases (E.g. presence of two independent outlets),.
A last important aspect of the "Berlin eaves height", which still today benefit from us, was the early recognition that a lower height guarantees also a better exposure in terms of healthy living, working and living conditions.

Regarding what a typical building is for a specific region I can recommend "Så byggdes husen 1880-2000" for Sweden. It's a book with maybe 20-30 example of very typical Swedish buildings from that time period. Here's an example of what a spread looks like: https://www.google.se/imgres?imgurl=htt ... mrc&uact=8.
