      Here is the translation of the dialog for my own understanding.

      Not terribly helpful. I think I need to compile 2 versions for 32 bit and 64 bit.

    • RE: [Plugin] Mesh Importer

      @cotty - I compiled the extension using Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Express. You would need to install this package from Microsoft to get the msvcp140.dll file.

      There may be a way to use earlier versions of the dll which your computer may already have - I'll look into it.

      Thanks for the feedback. I can only read English 😳 .

      I can't compile the executable because I don't have a Mac. The source is included.

    • [Plugin] Mesh Importer

      This topic is for questions about the Mesh importer extension.

      This extension will let you import larger files and import them faster than the Ruby STL extension.

      Mesh Importer is a Windows-only plugin for this release. Mac versions are possible but I need help compiling and testing for the platform.

      Mesh Importer is a compiled converter which uses the assimp library and the SketchUp SDK to convert model files to .skp files. Once converted, the .skp file is imported as a Component at meter scale. Technically, any file type supported by assimp can be imported, but textures are not supported for any formats. At this stage in development it is most useful for .stl and .ply files.

      For the initial release (15.1 - 1st release of 2015) I'm interested in basic feedback such as does it even work. So please give it a try and let me know. Thanks.

    • RE: Wrap tool available ?

      I think the I-materialize extension has a shell feature. Find it in the Extensions Warehouse.

    • RE: Requset - update jim's Protrude plugin

      It did actually work with SketchUp 16 as-is. But I have now made some changes to ensure it will continue to work for future versions. It has been uploaded to the SCF Store.

      1 lock component instances when definition opened in the seperate su window.
      2 unlock component instances when the seperate su window close.
      3 rewrite codes to work more clearly.

      Is there any good reason that you are including Anton's AMS Lib with this? AMSLib is easily available in the Plugins Store and also the Extension Warehouse.

      You have now created a conflict - one of the libraries will re-write the other. This is not a problem until one of you makes changes which could potentially break both plugins and cause a lot of confusion for yourselves and problems for everyone else using the library.

      I hope you at least that you talked to Anton about including his work in your extension. At the very least, you need to wrap AMSLib in a different namespace to avoid conflicts.

      Hello Everyone !

      However, it's not working with SU 2016.

      What functions do you need from AMS_Lib? I think this can be done without any Windows-specific functions.

    • RE: Link Component Attributes to IFC Text fields

      It's unclear to me how the plugin would know to use "IfcFurnishingElement" as the type in the path. There does not appear to be any way to retrieving this type using a plugin. So I'm stumped.

    • RE: Link Component Attributes to IFC Text fields

      The core code would look like this: Assume there is a single Component selected.

      
      
          model = Sketchup.active_model
          instance = model.selection[0]
         
          attributes = instance.definition.attribute_dictionary("dynamic_attributes")
          name = attributes["name"]
          desc = attributes["description"]
      
          path = ["IFC 2x3", "IfcFurnishingElement", "Name", "IfcLabel"]
          success = instance.definition.set_classification_value(path, name)
          path = ["IFC 2x3", "IfcFurnishingElement", "Description", "IfcText"]
          success = instance.definition.set_classification_value(path, desc)

    • RE: Reset/zero transformation, scale and rotation

      Another option would be to set the Transformation to IDENTITY.

      instance.transformation = IDENTITY

      This would also move the instance to the Origin, but it's easy to move it back if that's what you need.

    • RE: [Plugin] Entity Info + 0.2.0

      @tommyk said:

      Thanks for the update. I have now fixed it. There was a rogue console.log() call in the webDialog window markup that was breaking javascript. It took me ages to figure out what was going on - as soon as I loaded the firebug javascript debugger - it started working!)

      Yep, it's working now. Thanks.

      I did change the path where the extensions looks for the html dialog, though. The change allows me to install the plugin in folders other than the default Plugins folder:

      
      # html_path = Sketchup.find_support_file "SelectionWindow.html" ,"Plugins/SelectionAttributes/"
      html_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "SelectionWindow.html")

    • RE: AmbientOcclusion for SketchUp released

      I like it also because it's easy and fast even on my old laptop. But after I do a few renders, SketchUp gets really slow to do anything. Even just creating a box starts lagging. I'm going to guess you are using SketchUp observers inefficiently.
