This is also free and its great improvement.
Does anyone knows:
1 How to replace components from SU with Twinmotion Library objects? Only manual, one by one?
2 How to replace SU scenes with TWM cameras?
3 How to align object with ground? Kind of Smart drop plugin?

Thanks.

To my knowledge components were not unique elements in Twinmotion: I imported 100 components of a chair and in Twinmotion I had a 100 groups without saving space and memory.
Nor I was able to create component in any other way, not even inside Twinmotion.
The only components were the one native to the library of Twinmotion.
Maybe things have changed with this new release that I still have to test.

Hi,

We have created a workflow video on how to model from point clouds using Undet for SketchUp plug-in. Maybe it will be useful for someone to look.

Thank you, great (and unique) plugin!

Gio

I like it and it works very well.
But I have to say that the price is a bit too high IMHO.
It's only subscription and is more then half the price of SketchUp Pro annually (after the special price period is gone)!
I will stay with Transmutr: it takes time but in the end you achieve the same result.

I was wondering if there is a limit to how detailed a ISO lines terrain can be to work with Toposhaper?
As you can see in the attached image only a part of the terrain is created. If I try with a less dense contour file of the same area it works but I need the detail as high as possible.

Maybe you can make just smaller portions and join them in the end?

It also depends on how much detailed is your model, and large.
I would say that if you use key shortcuts and plugins that save you time you are probably faster then somebody who uses the icons and only the basic SketchUp tools.
Another thing is to know exactly what you have to do and not frequently seat in idle asking yourself what is your next move....
There is really a lot of things to say though.

About what Pilou said, I remember when I was able to play minesweeper and finish the expert level in just a little more then 100 seconds.
After a few years, when internet became available, I checked what the record was and I was ashamed to find out that people was able to finish it in less then 50 seconds!!!! Crazy!

I am impressed with the LO updates though, I hope the actual lives up to webpage I read on it..

They do live up. DWG export from Layout is really good!

Can you tell me (but maybe it doesn't make sense anyway in LO) if SU components are exported as AC blocks?

Thank you,
Gio
