Hi @samuel_t

Thanks for getting back to me.
Iv'e just tested and it works very fine

Just a quick question - is it possible to copy paste a node?

Jorgensen

@samuel_t ah ok - Thanks

Hi @samuel_t

MATERIAL NODE
What I meant was, if it is possible to handle material parameters like

• color
• opacity
• image source (path)
• image size x
• image size y

The use for this would be, creating a material, and two or more bitmap nodes, this way is fast to change and test different material settings, eg. by switching between the two bitmap nodes.

SLIDER NODE
A slider node for fast and easy way to change values, and seem them change without having to think about a number - just watching the result.

COMPONENTS
Would it possible to use components instead of groups? it would be very usefull to copy components around, and when you edit one, you edit all.
It might allready be possible, and I have just overlooked it.

An example - a simple hotel - I created one component, use nodes to construct the hotel and BAM. It could hotel rooms, as components, that can be copied around.
Then it's easy to add details and update the whole project in one operation.

In the example I created a component, the single one on the left. I then used Node editor to copy the component, but they become groups, and when I change the first component - nothing happens - of cource.

Could be interresting

I hope that you, or others, pickup and continue to develop this plugin / feature - as I think is has a huge potential

@samuel_t bump

@samuel_t components?

Hi Samuel

Would it be possible to use nodes, to control materials, or don’t you have access to the materials?

Jorgensen

Hi

I wonder if any in here knows a way of using Sketchup as part of a tool to do early calculations of CO2e / m3 / year?

If seen this tool https://www.caala.de/ that should somehow work, but I have not tried it yet, and just wanted to hear if anyone knows of alternatives?

Thanks
Jorgensen

@samuel_t ah ok - Thanks

@samuel_t
Hi Samuel - thanks for the reply. I know all to good, having to many projects and to little time. I hope you find the the time to develop it further in the future.

Just a quick question - is it possible to use the nodes with allready modeled geometry - like creating arrays of components?

Keep up the nice work
Jorgensen

@Dan-Rathbun Hi Dan. I haven't heard of Live Components - I need to look into that.

Thanks
