    • RE: Kerky mat help please

      I think you'd be better to post this topic in the http://www.kerkythea.net/joomla/ website.
      Have you already tried a test render to KT using KT2SKUP? It determines the path on the first run.
      If you do have problems with KT, I can recommend stumping up for Twilight Render - it's very straight forward to use for SKUP users while retaining the power of Kerkythea.
      Best of luck!

    • RE: Photogrametry or Photomatch

      I think Photogrametry is trying to straighten a face in a photograph of, say the wall of a building, removing perspective & scaling it up to real units to make it the basis for a 2D survey drawing, while Photomatch is what is provided in SketchUP - creates a 3D model based upon the perspective captured within the image.
      Kubit PhotoPLAN is an example of a Photogrametry package, which works well with AutoCAD.

    • RE: Layout - AutoCAD conversion troubles

      I presume you'll be using SketchUP PRO 8, as it is the first version available with DWG output from Layout.
      Can you export the Layout drawing to an earlier version of the DWG format?

    • RE: [Plugin] Cloud

      Thanks very much for providing this plugin, we've recently invested in a Total Station & this translates the point data reliably. Providing a help file is also a boon.
      We're also using TIG's contourmaker plugin, which helps when exporting to data to AutoCAD.

    • RE: 3ds Max2011

      We've just had training on MAX 2010 at work with the SKUP importer which was available on subscription for the last few months.
      It works pretty well, the materials are imported as Mental Ray ProMaterials.
      However, it's nothing like as compatible with Sketchup as the likes of the Twilight renderer, or so easy to get a satisfactory image.
      It's probably best that you model & render everything in MAX.
      The modelling tools are fantastic, although your brain can melt trying to remember were all the options are!

      Scott,
      Thanks for the information, I didn't know that any colour information could be transferred across.

    • RE: Revit Architecture 2010

      SkUP is OK for creating "dumb" objects for entourage & can be used for forming the basis for creating masses in Revit (where you can change vertical planes to walls & sloping faces to roof objects), but there is little you can do with the SKUP objects in Revit. I wouldn't go to the length of creating doors & windows in SKUP, for instance.
      On the otherhand, Revit models export to DWG with no problem & can be exported into SKUP for NPR presentations & rendering with the likes of Twilight Renderer.
      Adding a lot of entourage into Revit really slows it down (it is designed for production drawings more than presentation purposes), while SKUP is purpose buit for this.

    • RE: Podium VS IDX Renditioner VS Twilight. Which To Buy?

      Align,
      Take heed of the sensible advise from Pilou & Solo.
      The software gets you so far, but there is still a "black art" in getting the output to match the examples from the other repliers.
      Podium can give very good results, as can Twilight which has the advantage of different rendering methods which gives a bit more control over the output result/render time balancing act; & a built in template system which reduces the grief of setting up realistic materials.
      I can't vouch one way or another for IDX.
