[quote="marcdurant"]Hi all-

Great! Qué alivio, gracias!

Hi group,

folowing up on Nick's workflow I am encountering problems copying and pasting section linework to layout2013. I get an empty sketchup model reference whenever I paste the geometry from sketchup...

Actually I can only export it properly with the "send to layout" menu or inserting it in layout as a sketchup reference with a scene properly set up. Am I hitting a bug or just missing something?

Thanks, specially to Nick for sharing his workflow!

OK, I will.

Thanks!

OK,I just didn't think about

view.refresh

...

Now I get the first image & the profiles but: I don't get the shadows with 'no edges' as defined in the style... unless I repeat the command as in:

    
    styles = Sketchup.active_model.styles
    styles.selected_style = styles["OnlyShadows"]
    refreshed_view = view.refresh
    styles.selected_style = styles["OnlyShadows"]
    refreshed_view = view.refresh
    filename_shadows = filename + "_shadows.png"
    value = shadowinfo["DisplayShadows"]=true
    refreshed_view = view.refresh

Is this normal or am I missing something again?

Regards

Hi there,

let me first introduce myself: I'm Ivan, architect & teacher and Sketchup user...

My first question now:

I've modified thomthom's tt_export.rb script to get different layers of information for photoshop compositing.

When I load a specific style I have to do it twice to get sketchup to load it properly (i.e. no edges style to get only the shadows).Presently I'm doing it like this:

    styles = Sketchup.active_model.styles
    styles.selected_style = styles["OnlyShadows"]
    UI.messagebox "Changing styles"
    styles.selected_style = styles["OnlyShadows"]
    UI.messagebox "Again..."
    filename_shadows = filename + "_shadows.png"
    UI.messagebox filename_shadows
    model = Sketchup.active_model
    shadowinfo = model.shadow_info
    value = shadowinfo["DisplayShadows"]=true   

If I try to do it straight away it doesn't turn edges off. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?
I would love to forget about clicking 'OK' twice for every layer I export...

TIA
