how many times I had been in despair about this very issue 😄 This post, as a reminder so to speak, should pop up automatically once or twice a year 😉 😆

Most welcome mate. 👍

It opened easily enough in Turbocad.

In this case why not keep also a 2017 Make version ? 😉
Versions can works together! ☀

Never mind. Thanks anyway.

This one was free and was the one I remembered that existed. It is CompoScene's predecessor.

It turns out the culprit was the file I was working on. Vray works fine with any other file. Thanks anyway.

On a PC the model's backup files [named xxx.SKB], and on MAC [named xxx~.SKP] are saved with the model's xxx.SKP file.
The model's Auto-Save files usually get put into a default location...
This is set on a PC in:
Preferences > File > Models - its default is ../Documents/
On a MAC it is always saved in your:
User > Library > Application Support > SketchUp NNNN > SketchUp > Autosave ...folder
Named as AutoSave_xxx.SKP ?

They do and I pinged one of them in your other thread. I did find that you can export at a larger size if you enter the resolution instead of the width.

Would you suggest a free and easy-to-use alternative?

if you would have done what I've described above (and what you've claimed) you should have DraftSight already on your system?

No, I installed it and TeighaViewer a few minutes ago.

The section fill doesn't create a group on its own. If you use Create group from slice you do get a group and of course it's only the outline. There's no face. It can be difficult to see and select that group if there's a fill and especially if the fill color is black. You can change the fill color, of course, or you could select the group in Outliner.

I'm not seeing any issues with the fill updating when moving the section cut. The group from slice doesn't update but then it never did.

nice. never seen this plugin - always thought this was a missing feature in the selection toys

Good tip. Thanks for sharing.

Est-on bien en droit d'attendre, par exemple, que cela ajoute des pages "exportées" à une animation existante?

Didier Bur
Ben oui, c'est ça l'idée!

In English 😄
Me : Can we expect , for example, add exported pages to an existing animation?
Didier Bur
Of course, that's the idea!

But seems the "Pages Export" don't work! 😲
File "*.su" is not created! (array_to.rb is installed)
It's the same for you ?

PageExIm used to work fine for me but I think it has been updated to work with 2017.
EDIT: I have just checked the Smustard website and PageExIm HAS been updated for 2017. Sorry!

If I understood what you are after, I will do this way:

uncheck the shadows setting in axonometric scenes

scene with the shadow setting: before set the shadows setting turn off all layer and set day/time/light/dark/... and check all setting. Every time you select this scene your working area will be cleaned. But if you want to use this scene to add the shadows to the current view of one of your axonometric scene, Set the shadows setting and uncheck Camera position and visible layer.
In 1st cases when you update the shadows setting you won't see anything, but when you select one of your axonometric scenes they'll show the shadows setting. In 2nd case the shadow scene will add the shadows to the current scene
In the same way you can create a scene to clean the shadows: turn off the shadow and check all setting but the visible layer. This scene will turn off the shadow in wherever scene Is selected.

Sorry for my English.

thanks, charevir. your English may not be perfect but the explanation is very clear! I have always being able to set this up but then could not all of a sudden. go figure that. the file helps a lot too. I am sure others will benefit from your explanation.

best regards.

Had a crazy week, but have been testing SU2017 on my MacBook for most of it.

Not sure overall if it's slowed down compared to 2015: overall graphics seem smother, but with a bit of lag in some operations. Whether or not that bodes poorly for really large models I can't say. Bottom line is that it's still works fine for my needs, at least on mid-sized models (~35MB).

@juju said:

Isn't Skalp supposed to manage that automatically?

I think so, but I don't use it. What I'm trying to say is that the perspective scene probably derived directly from a scene where the plan layers were active and that's maybe why they are also active on the new scene.

Sure !
For randomize all paramaters of a same texture! (Works also for Components & Groups)
But you can select several different textures on the same time! 😉
They will have same variation of parameters!
(Different sizes of boxes is just perspective effect ! )
