@Berserk said in [Plugin] MatSim (Material Simulation) - v1.5b - 09 Jul 25:

The extension is very useful. But in the large model there is a limit on the number of materials supplied, and the color theme change takes a very long time (2 min.) on a modern computer (AMD 16 honest cores up to 5 GHz, 128GB RAM, RTX 2080 Super 12 GB). A model of a city with 80,000 inhabitants. Unfortunately, I can't share the model.

I released MatSim v1.5b, with up to 150 materials by simulation, instead of 50 (which I already considered a lot).

For performance, I am not sure MatSim can do better than what Sketchup would do natively by permuting materials. As for any automated process, just consider how long it would take you to do it manually...

NEW RELEASE: MatSim v1.5b - 09 Jul 25

Requirements

• LibFredo6: v14.3a or above
• Sketchup version: SU2017 and above

MatSim 1.5b includes changes for:

• Increased the number of material for simulations to 150 (instead of 50)

Main post of this MatSim thread.

Did you look in the Animation settings?

Very likely you are trying to validate the license of FredoCorner with a license of RoundCorner, or the reverse.

Not in the current version. However, I think VRay has this function by default

Animator has no control over VRay inner processing. Anyway, it's not surprising that the memory usage increases for a long job.

I would suggest you render by piece, say 100 frames. This feature is available in the latest version of Animator, with VRay 6 or 7. You may also use the cloud rendering.

The best is to send me the model with some explanations.

Which plugin, and for which version of Sketchup.
In general, the version of LibFredo6 indicated is just the minimum version required. The latest version should also work.

Your donation (0.01 €) is not a license, just a kind recognition toward the author.

So, to get a license, you need to purchase it from this Sketchucation page.

For the native tools, I did not change the icons. So you get the old ones. I don't think I will update them.

Does it work now?

Please describe accurately what does not work. Otherwise, it is difficult to help. Possibly, open the Ruby console before launching the plugin to catch potential errors.

It's always better to launch TopoShaper by selecting the group from outside. In your case, the issue is related to a Tag / Layer assigned to the curves which is also the active Tag.

The issue is that you launch TopoShaper from within the group.

The best is to just select the group from outside and launch TopoShaper.

You can use the 3-seat licence for corporate usage.

Strange. I cannot reproduce it.
Can you attach the model and give some details on which SU version you use.

Do you have the model for me to explore the issue.

If you had LibFredo6 already installed, then it must be an upgrade of Sentinel. Nothing has changed recently in LibFredo6 that could trigger the warning.

LibFredo6 contains a binary file (.so), but as many other plugins and Sketchup itself.

If you have more information from your IT team....

Can you display your environment by using menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings > Fredo6 Plugin Informtion for Sketchucation Support.

This will open the Ruby Conole and display the state of your environment. Just send it to me or post it here.

There seems to be an issue in your setup anyway. I don't think this is related to a particular plugin.

For the error you indicate:

• This concerns FredoTools::SolidVolume, not FredoSpline
• The error message is missing (this is the very first line, before the backtrace), so I don't know what it is about.

This button is not for camera but for layers. Use the Camera button instead.
