I assign the light components (the rendering object that defines the light -- not the model of the fixture) to a separate layer. For day scenes that layer would be hidden. It's not entirely interactive, as for live rendering or video. Something like that would be special feature of the rendering software, I think. Maybe TwinMotion does this?

Hi pbacot,

Thank you for your reply, I checked about twinmotion, looks like this the answer of my question, I will download and try it, if they have a free version or trial version

Hi everyone,

I am working on a 3D design with sketchup, and I want put some light, when it's in the night they are opened and when it's day they are off.

I mean by interactive, like for the scene on sketchup night/day, or in Render such as V-ray, simlabs or twilight render.

When the light is open must look like real like this picture

I just hope am clear in my mind if not please feel free to ask details

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I need to do animation on some assets and if possible export to 3dsmax, but I am looking a sketchup plugin animation to do real the real animation and not the scene tools for sketchup, because it's not working that I expected. Because I want do the animation like the step by step and then animate it.

If someone can recommend me plugins, it will be appreciated

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice week-end

Hello everyone,

I am design a Rolling stock with Sketchup, and I begin on 2D way, but now I wish extrude it, but problems they are some many faces to extrude, so mean waste time, or maybe lost by the size of extruding.

I guess and home they are a plug in to extrude this Tramway, on one time, than several times. Of course after extruding, I need to correct to finish the outside job.

I upload the picture to see the 2D so you can see what I mean.

Thanks in advance, and of course if need question, let me know

Hi, in the past I had one extension on sketchup to help to fix the face, sometimes when you draw something if you don't do well so the face won't show up, and this extention show you by colour such as the shape was not drawed so can not show the face. or maybe sometimes the line is a little cross another one but could be too long so can.

if any question let me know

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I am design a building with skecthup pro 2017, and I have on this building a curved surface, I try to import this texture, because it is from JPG picture, and this picture don't paste very well.

After research on a sketchup blog, they suggest to use the fredotools, but I am not sure to know wich function can I use.

My question is what can I do to import this texture and how to adjust on this curved surface ?

Thanks

Hi,

I am a little confuse, because I know how to design from 2D to 3D but this time I am a little lost, because this time I start from a 2D picture with some complex shapes.

What can you suggest me, it is better to take only face to face or by 45° angle

you can see the picture bellow

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi everyone, I have a few problems, I use sketchup to design and then I export on OBJ file to 3Dcrafter to convert in a file for train simulator 2014.

But I find out after exporting some part are blank and not texture but in sketchup totally fine

I guess it is a problem during the design but wich one ?

Thanks for your help

The object in sketchup :

The object in 3Dcrafter

Hi everybody, I am working on a add on for game and for the 3D part I use sketchup, very nice tools, and very cool for dummies like me in 3D design, in fact do not need books to improve.

Be honnest, am very satisfied, with this software, because very good to design on 2D or 3D or why not think 2D to 3D

If I can recommend Sketchup, yes of course with pleasure
