Hello Community,
I am looking for some help rendering 4 scenes from a model I have created. I would like them to have the look and feel as the renderings attached. Anyone on the list able to help? If so could you direct message me and let me know time frame and price.
Thanks!
Hey community.
Im having a bit of trouble with this plugin. Maybe the way I am applying it or maybe Im doing something wrong. Could someone help?
Every time I attempt to loft an object along a path, the preview looks fine but the final result has tons of faces missing.
I am trying to get information on what the various options in the toolbar are once you see the preview, (ie, sampling, interpolating, etc) and what they do, but cant find any info on it.
Can some help?
Seriously....Anyone? Thought there were some great Ruby Developers in the forum.
John,
Attached is a screen shot of one of the furniture pieces showing the DC User options. The options in particular that we would need to change would be:
Case Finish (15 types)
Mirror Front Finish (2 types)
Glossy Front Finish (1 type)
Colored Glass Finish (23 types)
Hello community...
I am looking for help to create a quick plugin. I have been looking for one that has this functionality but have not been able to find any, so maybe creating it is the only option.
Problem:
I am creating fairly complex DC models of a furniture line. Each furniture piece has various finish options that an end user can select from in order to customize their final purchase. The client would like a JPEG of each combo to show on their website, along with a series of images that show the furniture piece rotating. I have already set up the scenes needed for the views the client wants as well as for the rotation and being able to do "File->Export->Animation->Image Set" seems to work just fine. Only thing is doing that for 400+ possible combinations is extremely time consuming.
Solution:
Looking to create a plugin that would "read" certain parameters of the DC, select a combination, and export out the image set for that combination, and move on to the next combination. Additionally if we can specify a naming convention for the image set that is being exported... that would be useful as the images would relate to the furniture piece and the finish chose.
Any one up for the challenge? If so, please drop me a note and let me know 1) how long this would take to create and 2) what price tag would come with creating this plugin.
Thanks Jim. I figured out that if I change the "Units" in the drop down list from 'Default:Text' to 'Decimal Numbers' the IF function worked out. Hpe that helps anyone else going through this.
Hey All,
Having some trouble with executing a function within a dynamic component and wondering if anyone could help.
Goal:
I have a complex model of a furniture piece with several layers of nested components. The top level component has various options that an end user can choose from to customize their furniture piece. What I want is for a nested element (a shelf) to hide when the user picks a specific height for the furniture piece.
Execution:
I created a custom attribute and named it 'furnitureheight'. This attribute is drop down list with 3 heights that the user can choose from and I assigned each 'List Option' a 'Value'. The List options & Values are as follows:
14" - 35.56cm
22" - 55.88cm
34" - 86.36cm
This is currently resizing the furniture piece accurately. Next, to hide the shelf, I added a "Hidden" attribute to the shelf component with the following "IF" function: =IF(furnitureheight=35.56,1,0)
Problem:
The shelf is not hiding. Im not sure if it is a syntax error or if, because the shelf is nested 4 layers in from the top level component, there is something not right. Just to clarify, I am not getting an error message in sketchup within the attribute and I am passing down the values of the list from parent to child all the way down to the shelf component. I just dont know if I need to specify the value as "35.56" or "35.56cm" or "14". Ive tried all of them and nothing is working.
Hello Community,
I am working on a project and am looking for a developer that is extremely comfortable creating Plugins for Sketchup. We are looking to create custom reports based on attributes from components.Please feel free to contact me directly as we need this done immediately.

Hi Friends,
I see that there are 2D export plugins that will export scenes from sketchup automatically. Are there any similar plugins that can output photorealistic renderings (like Vray)from a rendered inside of SketchUp?
Thanks Dennis! Great to see Brooklyn in the house.
Hey Vic,
I live in Elizabeth NJ but work with clients all over. Great to meet you. Lets exchange info via PM.
Are there any members in this forum from the NYC metro area? If so, please introduce yourselves. Would love to connect with local users and experts.
If you didnt already read this, Aidan posted the thought processes behind the new logo. I would not have guessed it from looking at the logo without reading this article:
Follow the SketchUpdate blog for SketchUp news, modeling tips and tricks, user stories and more.
(sketchupdate.blogspot.com)
What should have happened was an open competition for logos. Crowd source the logo and make it born from the community of avid users who understand the product.
Not sure if the logo conveys the direction sketchup is moving towards. I dont think it has a link to what SU currently is.
This is a pretty great idea. Good to put a face to a name and easy to be able to reach out to people when you what their strengths are.

No that is not me. I am looking through the Ruby Guide as well as teaching myself Ruby. Just feel its taking a long time and its something I would like to get out sooner than later.
Sounds like a handy feature. I too would be interested in an answer.
