      Raster materials often look blurry in Layout (especially when you zoom). However, when you print the document on paper at the correct paperscale, you get a readable pattern visually.

      Anyway, to help progressing, I would suggest you post a few images of you vector patterns (e.g. four different types of sheet goods, three types of solid wood, plaster/gypsum and stone countertops).

    • RE: FredoSection + LOTT freezes 'Scene Selector'.

      That's a bug with modal dialog boxes on Mac when you call them from another dialog. This has never been fixed in 10 years or more.
      It should work if you call the N dialog from the toolbar.
      I will fix that.

    • RE: [Plugin] FredoSection - v1.5a - 15 Jan 26

      I am not familiar with the DWG export from layout.

      My understanding is that:

      • Sketchup only uses Raster material. There is no such concept as Vector pattern. Otherwise, this is just linework.

      • Layout renders the Sketchup model based on these Raster materials and treats them as images. I am not aware that Layout would convert them to vector.

      • Layout seems to have a concept of Pattern which can be used for filling shapes. That may well be converted to vector patterns (.pat) when exporting to DWG. However, my understanding is that this only applies to shapes created and painted in Layout, not coming from the 3D model.

      • FredoSection Vector Hatching is just a set of edges and faces, as the rest of the geometry. So, it renders as such in Layout. But I don't think it will end up as CAD patterns when the Layout document is exported to DWG.

      I don't know if I am correct....

      @sayerdesign

      Currently, the Vector hatching is not customizable but I can easily add any type of hatching, including with dashed lines, multiples, etc.....

      For a general customization of vector patterns, this should be possible based on providing a repeatable component.

      However, I am interested in seeing the kind of patterns you want for plywood, solid-wood and stone, and why raster images would not work.

    • RE: Scene animation with Animator

      Again, text drawing would be better managed in a video editor rather than Animator.

      If your text is a solid, just treat it like that. Insert Movement (Move, Rotation) in the timeline. Use special effect Visibility to make it appear and disappear (via its tag).

      Cameras are independent from object movements.

    • RE: FredoScale Compatibility issues with SU 2026

      There is a general problem with the TAB key in SU2026. The Tab key is not sent after a few hits. This concerns mainly Windows, but other weird problems have been detected on Mac.

      The issue was logged to the Sketchup team. So, we'll probably have to wait for SU2026.2.

      On my side, I logged the problem with the following video.

      I tested your Camera Positioing 6 model. No error and I can set any view.

      However, since I don't know what you want to achieve, it's difficult to help....

      Difficult to tell without seeing the model.
      Do you get errors in the Ruby console?

      @FlorinAp
      Thanks for signaling the problem which was inadvertedtly introduced with version v1.3b, only for the Section Box Outside. I have fxed it and will publish an update soon. It works fine for the Section Box Inside.

      Note that all plugins doing section box have to pile up a hierarchy of dummy groups to enclose the 6 section planes. However, there is no copy of the original geometry, but instance of it, so that any change in the section box mode is done on the original geometry. This is illustrated in the video:

      At least this is how it works in FredoSection, and most likely in Curic SectionBox (I don't know for SJSectionBox).

      Just create as many camera view as you like and place them along the timeline. Animator will interpolate the camera between them.
