Thanks Anton

Just what I was looking for. Not sure what happens, but it works.

And it's not a problem using two keys.

Jorgensen

Thanks to you all - i will look into this

It seems that "Eneroth Texture Tools" did the job!

Hi Anton

A very nice plugin. It's very satisfying working in full screen with no distracting menu bars

When i first saw the settings menu, I thought that I could select the Mode, and then set settings for this mode, and then select an other mode, and then select settings for this mode. But that seems not to be the case - but i might have misunderstood the use of the plugin.

What I was looking for, was to be able to switch to full screen mode using F11, and then I would not see anything, just a blank clean, non disturbing work screen, then when I press F11, I should come back to a "normal" screen where I can access the different menus, if needed.

Could that setup be possible with this plugin?

Thanks

Hi

I have created a ceiling that is made of a lot of slats. The slats are copies of the same component.
This gives the challenge, that the wood material, looks (and is) very repeated, so one can easily see some patterns.

Does anyone know if there is a plugin that can randomize the textures somehow?

I'm not sure if uv mapping can be controlled via scipts, but a solution could be, that the plugin selects all the components, that has the default material assigned, then the plugin selects the components individually, adds the texture and randomizes the texture alignment.... but only in one (as an potion) direction, as wood materials has a direction, and it would look strange if the material is random rotated i guess.

Hi Pixero

I searched the jsmovetool.rb, deleted two instances, and installed via extension store.

Now it works

Jorgensen

hi pixero

I'm pressing enter after i set the distance.

The plugin as worked all the time on other computers, but not on this one.

Are you also using . instead of , ? i have never had an installation before where i need to use . as a decimal separator.

Thanks
Jorgensen

I have used this plugin for years and it works just fine, but.....
Sometimee it takes forever to group_by_layer.

Does anyone know if there is a fastplugin or an other way to group by layer?

Thanks
Jorgensen

hi @pixero

I have used this plugin for years and it's have been a great tool.
Now I i've been updated to a new laptop and I can't get the plugin to work.

I can activte the plugin, add a distance, but nothing happens when i use the arrow keys.

The only difference i have from the old computer and this one, seems to be that i need to use . instead of using , when i enter numbers.

Can that course the issue?

I have inserted output from the ruby console.

Thanks
Jorgensen

Hi ThomThom, I'm having problems with 3D Text Editor. If I create some text using this Plugin then rotate it I get problems editing it! After I select 'Edit Text' the text rotates back to it's original orientation!?

I'm using SketchUp Pro 2016 on a Mac OS X 10.11.06.

I'm having the same issue - not a big deal but it would be nice not to need to rotate in place after edit.

Hi

Is there any good tips for "connecting" revit and sketchup?

We use revit most of the time, but for some work sketchup is a much better tool, but i wonder if there is good way to somehow connect the two programs as an altertive to work on two models.

i have tried exporting as obj from revit and imported into sketchup using fluid obj import light, and it works fast and fine, but components / families gets exploded.

i have then tried importing as dwg, and then using the groupbylayer plugin, but it takes forever to convert.....

any tips for a good workflow?

thanks
jorgensen

impressive work oxer!

how do we use the material editor?

i'm trying to create a curtain that stays almost strait - like a textile with almost no elasticity.

but it seems that the cloth keeps behaving like it's silk - the curtain extends very much, and 'feels' very light when i push it.

i have messed around with the material editor, but it does not seem to have any influence on the behavior of the cloth.

This plugin is so amazing - and user friendly!

Thanks for the big effort you have put into it - anton!

Jorgensen

I think i get the same errors as before - not sure why - i have used before with no problems.

Does anyone know if this plugin should work with sketchup 2018?

Jorgensen

it's the 28. tomorrow - and i'm going on holiday with the family - that's with mixed emotions.....

really looking forward to test this plugin

jorgensen

It’s going to be a long weekend....

Looking super cool!

Jorgensen

Sounds cool

Hi Anton

Is there any news regarding this plugin? - or have you dumped it?

thanks
