      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 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

    • Exporting layers to Photoshop

      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
