    • RE: Is there a hide lines plugin?

      Hi Jay, hi folks.

      Try using the most underused of SU's menu, namely the **Help menu**and its second choice, namely the Help Center.

      You shall get here:

      http://support.google.com/sketchup/?hl=en

      Click on the first item on the menu at the left that reads: Learning SketchUp (a Trimble product)

      This shall get you here:

      http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36207

      You will see this:

      •Quick Reference Card- an easy-to-print graphic of tools and their modifier keys.

      Click that link and you shall get here:

      http://support.google.com/sketchup/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=116693

      There are a few links to dowload the cards for SketchUp and Layout and for Windows and Mac OS.

      Just ideas.

    • RE: Layout: Aligner verticalement les centres

      Bonjour

      J'ai essayé cette manipulation:

      1 - Sélectionner les deux cercles avec une fenêtre de sélection ou en sélectionnat un cercle et ensuite le deuxième avec un SHIFT clic. Le cadre de sélection montre un petit cercle bleu qui correspond à son centre géométrique.

      2 - Sélectionner la fonction d'alignement. Les deux cercles semblent toujour s'aligner sur le centre géométrique de la sélection. Bref, les deux bougent.

      Ma version de Layout ets 3.0.16846.

    • RE: How to Push/Pull an angled shape?

      Hi Ralph, hi folks.

      @ralphxyz said:

      Hey Johnny (Jean Lemire), I hope you do not mind if I hack (reuse) your skp tutorial layout.

      Of course, hack it to your heart content. You will probably find that its is very easy to create your own multi scenes tutorials from scratch. Read below.

      @ralphxyz said:

      Of course I'll need to learn how to add and remove tabs but that will come with usage.

      Ralph

      Read the help about Scenes.

      You can create scenes with View Menu --> Animation --> Add Scene. This will create Scene 1 with its tabon top of the model window.

      Then, with a right click on this tab, you obtain a context menu allowing adding scenes, deleting the current scene, updating it, etc.

      You also get an access to the Scene Manager which allows you a lot of control about many parameters.

      Just ideas.

    • RE: IWatch

      Hi folks.

      Apple already had a watch.

      The iPod Nano previous generation, the small squarish one, could be worn as a watch. It was even possible to change the face to suits your mood.

      They could revive that, add bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connectivity so no need for a cable.

      Add cell phone circuitry to have a phone.

      Rechargeable by induction, so no cable again.

      The only problem will be the small screen and the battery life.

      It may appeal to some people that have everything and just want one more gadget.

      Personnaly, I have not worn a watch since a good 12 years. Why ?

      I can see the time on my phone, on my computer monitor, on my oven, on my microwave, on my cable box, on my TV, averywhere at work, in the metro, etc, etc.

      Just ideas.

    • RE: Standard art gallery

      Hi Lea, hi folks.

      If you search the 3D Warehouse (3DWH) with the words art gallery, you will find a lot of results. The vast majority of them are buildings seen from the outside.

      However, I found one by Tan-Jeong here:

      http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d60467b3084eef4fe77aafc342bcd367

      It shows the inside floor and walls as if the ceiling has been removed. This can act as a start for you.

      Of course, you can draw your own one from scratch.

      Then, you can search the 3DWH with words such as 3D people, for example.

      You will find a lot.

      Incorporate these in the galerie.

      Finally, you can import jpgfiles of you pictures and use them as textures to paint rectangles. These will become the paintings for the galerie. Observe the above mentionned model to see how its author added frames and ligthing fixtures and a few other details.

      You can even search for sculpturesand after scaling them, if needed, add them inside your gallery.

      Just ideas.

      Hi Walter, hi folks.

      I also unsoftened all edges in all the groups of your model and it looks good.

      I spotted a few things that may cause problems at a later stage. See this SU file for ideas.

    • RE: Keyboard: azerty disapeared

      Hi Debarchi, hi folks.

      Normally, keyboard definition is done at the Operating System level. With Windows, you have to open the Regional and Language Options Control Pannel (on Windows XP). With Windows 8, I am not sure that it is the same.

      Bonjour.

      @unknownuser said:

      Bé justement en faire un PDF 3D! 💚

      Pas sûr que cela fasse toutes les fonctions demandées 😉

      Et en quoi le "viewer" normal ne répond pas à toutes les questions demandées ?
      Le fait que l'on doive l'installer ?

      %(#0040FF)[Bonjour PILOU

      Si tu donnes le fichier SKP au client , il peut alors l'ouvrir avec le programme SKETCHUP NORMAL et le "bricoler" , le modifier , se l'approprier .

      Tu as donc fait une diffusion publique de ton projet .

      Je voulais uniquement éviter de réaliser une vidéo et permettre au client de visualiser lui même le projet .

      Ton idée d'utiliser un programme de génération de PDF 3D est bonne mais je souhaitais le faire uniquement a l'aide de notre logiciel préféré.

      Mon idée était plutôt un souhait pour de futures versions de permettre des verrouillages par mot de passe pour quelques fonctions ou calques un peu comme dans EXCEL ou d'autre logiciels de dessins et de permettre ainsi des accès réservés ( protégés )

      Salutations

      chri]

      Cette demande de pouvoir verrouiller un modèle a été faite depuis belle lurette par de nombreux utilisateurs.

      Les programmeurs le savent.

      Quand à savoir si un jour SU permettra cela ? Un peu comme Microsoft Word qui permet de verouiller un document avec deux niveau de mots de passe, un pour la lecture et un autre pour la lecture et l'écriture.

      À suivre.

      Salutations.
