Hi Djé,

Version 1.1.0 of the plugin is now availbale.

• the UCS Origin now takes the current UCS for moving it
• a new tool lets you define a new UCS (just like the native SU tool)

Download it at the Plugin Store (also soon at the EW):

Hello,

Yes, that's true.
I've just updated the plugin some days ago, and I wondered if I had to code what you want, and I did'nt did it.
I'll take your wish into account soon.

I’ll bet Didier Bur had not thought of that one when he developed the plugin.

Of course NOOOO...

Hello Samuel,
I've sent you the OBJ file via PM.
Regards,

@HornOxx:

A RBS file is an encrypted Ruby file which behaves just like a RB file.
I use 7-Zip to compress/uncompress archives, but any other Zip will also extract the file(s).

• double-click on the Zip
  -drag and drop the file into your Plugins folder and that's it.
• restart SU.

Thank you for adding me to the Extension Author group (I didn't know it exists )

Hi there,

Here is a little script I had to code for castle walls made of 'embossed' stones.
Maybe it'll be useful to some of you.
Unzip the Zip file and move the RBS file in your Plugins folder.
Usage:

• select faces (dont't worry if there are other object types in the selection)
• select menu "Tools" > "Emboss"
• fill the dialog and click OK.

Offset parameter added (see below)

Unzip in your Plugins folder

Have fun!

Hi Samuel,

Here are the results with a 200k triangles mesh:

The triangles loss is far less than with a 400k mesh, but it is still there.

Hi Samuel,

I'll try with a 200k faces mesh as time permits.
I've tried with TIG's "OBJ Importer" plugin and it doesn't decimate the triangles. Cool

Regards,

Hi Samuel,

Thanks again for this cool plugin
I use UniversalImporter to import an OBJ file that is exported from MeshMolder.
As you can see on the images, the 435488 triangles from MM are converted to a 86702 triangles mesh in SU. But when importing, UI does say "The file has 435488 faces. Do you want to reduce the number of faces ?". The triangles decimation occurs even if I answer "No" to this message.
Do I miss something or is there a face count limit in UImporter ?

Hi,

I don't understand what is your problem. Please be more precise and post a screenshot.

Hi Samuel,

Since I updated to v1.1.8, I always got this message:

It happens no matter the file or its path, or the file format. In the above case, the file gou.mtl exists at the correct location.

Any idea ? Do I have to uninstall the previous version ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I don't know if it can help, but take a look at my Components Spray tool:

Merci !

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for your answers.
I'm curious to know why each time I launch Sketchup I get the message:

It loads the Web page where I can dowload version 1.5.9.
Where can I find version 4.2.6 ?

Best regards,

Hi Samuel,

First thanks for this great plugin (just like all of your other goodies).

Some questions about the materials:
-what is the difference between the heightfield map and the normal map features ?

• how to get an occlusion map based on a jpg texture ?

I'm starting some tests and amazed with the results

Thanks for your time.

Just for updating the post for Mitchell and Davecoopstl

@Mr Mitchell and all,

Here are the french and english versions of the tool.

latlon.zip

What's new:

-some parameters, especially the ASL (Above sea level) altitude of the model

• it detects if the model isn't georeferenced
• text in the message box can be copied
• an option to insert text at each spot
• new menu with 2 options: 'settings' and 'Spot Lat/Long/Alt'

See short video below.

Install: unzip the archive, just drop your version of the rbs file in your Plugins folder, restart SketchUp.

Have fun

Hi Psylo,

Yes there is, and in TwinMotion as well.
I'm too lazy (for the time being) to provide the option to flip data around XYZ axes...

Hi,
Go to the Resources tab and select the PluginStore option.
