These error-messages are indicative of a Plugin version that is incompatible with SketchUp v2014.
Do NOT copy versions across from older Plugins folders.
Install fresh versions of your Plugins from the authors' pages or the PluginStore or the EWH...
Many Plugins have already been updated to be compatible with v2014.
If you find that a latest version is not compatible with v2014, then let the author know... and a fix might be quickly effected... 😕

hi dan, this is a special IGS format what needed by the game

PMed.

Thanks. I can't even remember what I was trying to do. It looks like just a random scaling between 2 percentages of current size.

cotty you are my hero..that works... i had never known this function.

@dave you are right.

thanks at all

and thanks to dave, Don't trouble your head about it. 😉

dean

oh yes thank you

Can you post a screenshot of your Plugins folder, with the Explorer toolbars?

Btw, are you updating TT_Lib, or installing fresh? You might have to manually remove TT_Lib2 before updating it.

The newer versions are much better. Take the time to customize it a little in the user prefs and you can get it to act in a more familiar way, like SU. Nonetheless, it will still have a learning curve. I much prefer the newer versions, I've been able to accomplish a lot of work in them that would be painfully difficult in SU and then import that work into an SU project. I still consider myself a Blender beginner though. It's difficult to figure things out sometimes, like many free apps there is limited documentation on how to get it to do what you want and much of the information is for older versions. Very frustrating at times.

2D "face me components" can cast shadows. What's more you can set the shadoes to always face the sun. Have a look at this tutorial: http://sketchucation.com/resources/tutorials/37-beginner/320-face-me-billboard-component

OR: I am completely misunderstanding your request?

Thank you for your answer and for the link. i have solve the problem with "immage trimmer"

In SU Preferences / enable "use maximum size texture" inside section OpenGL.

Image will be the same quality than the original! 😉

I'm thinking that perhaps he's not combining the parts - which then renders it all but impossible to remove the 'internal elements' as the parts aren't even solid to start with...
If it is one group and some simple preliminary erasing is done using Xray Mode, tools like SolidSolver WILL fix it and make it 'solid'...Capture.PNG

I believe that LumenRT was the first of it's kind to support .exe output and work within sketchup. Perhaps try LightUp? It requires a player (similar to Unity) rather than a stand alone .exe, but the footprint of the player is quite small and installs in seconds. Might not be too burdensome on a client. There are also talks of Lumion going to .exe output in V2, but that's a few months out yet.

hi TIG and EarthMover,

thank you for your answers

LumenRT LiveCubes doesnt work on my PC and MAC... this was my first favorite last month. now i must search other options.

o k ill try 3dpdf lumion and lightup.

thank you at both

dean

thank you

So you want to remove inner geometry? If there are solids you can use the Outershell tool to make them manifold

If not upload a sample for understanding

hm this is isnt the right tool.

ok switch to the x-ray tool...all what you now see, that will i delete. the outershelltool work only if parts overlapping.
look at the picture
all red parts i will delete.

thank you

Es ist wie TIG beschreibt.

jau danke habs bereits s.o.

I think Photogrametry is trying to straighten a face in a photograph of, say the wall of a building, removing perspective & scaling it up to real units to make it the basis for a 2D survey drawing, while Photomatch is what is provided in SketchUP - creates a 3D model based upon the perspective captured within the image.
Kubit PhotoPLAN is an example of a Photogrametry package, which works well with AutoCAD.

Danke Charly, der Link zum Bildindex ist ein richtiger Schatz.
