Unfortunately there isn't any access to layer colours via the Ruby API.

oh well nevermind

Hi all...

[Firstly ... If they is a current tool can somebody point me in that direction ]

I would love to have a script that would Clear All(or)Selected layer colours based on a dialog pop-up - similar to one for materials

Thanks in advance

Chris

that would require creating loads of components and would take longer

I have lots and lots of loose geometry from CAD to mass up and what would be perfect is protrude but with a bit more customization fields ...

I couldnt find protrude author who shall i contact ?

Hi all

I was wondering if there is an update for protrude or another tool that is similar to do the following Process

Selected all ...

Extrude randomly using the following heights:

Min : [User specified height) 8
Max : [User specified height) 24

@ 8,12,16,20

So instead of random heights between 8 & 24, the heights will be of only values 8,12,16,20 or 24

Thanks Chris

Error Loading File vismap2_menu.rb

Hi everyone ...

Which is the best plugin to use to create a fly-through film in sketchup - ?

• Im looking to create a 2 minute flight path with the camera moving along a path while rotating on subjects

Hello All

I was wondering if Dynamic Components could be used to create buildings blocks :

For example, you have a component for a residential block with the floor height set at 3m per floor and you can set the height of the building in floors and the geometry updates
and have another one for retail, commercial, and other predefined landuses which would have different settings

Another requirement would be for you to specify the ground floor to be of a different height and use

Look forward to responses

Chris

Where is this tutorial ?

Some how the shortcut for explode has been changed to 'x' and i cant change it ?

Please Help

Thanks

my budget is around £50 per machine

that's not much... the nVidia Geforce GT 440 is probably the 'best bang for the buck' you can get for this small amount of money.

Add roughly £30 and you will get something more capable as e.g. the GTS450.

And keep an eye on the power consumption, the GTS450 consumes ~100w if forced, in peaks up to ~135w. Which requires a power supply unit of min. 300 watts.

hth,

Thanks very much

So GeForce or Nvivda ? my budget is around £50 per machine

uhm ok i should have said that im not a technical expert and have no idea about graphics cards, im just after a solid recommendation on which to buy

thanks

Hi what would be the value for money - most powerful graphics card for use with Adobe CS5 & Sketchup for the following machine:

Dell Vostro i5 3GHZ 8GB RAM

Suggestions please

Thanks

I was having the same issues as you guys, thanks for all your efforts, i think a simplification is acceptable as long as the profile of the hills are roughly the same would be great
