hi pcmoor

thank you very much for your fast reply.

i have opened your file and it works just fine!

i have tried to replicate the same behavior to my own model, but i can't get it to work - though it seems that i have done exactly the same.

could i ask you to test the file? it might just be a typeping error

save.skp

hi

i have just started experimenting with dc, and i have a quick question.

i have a group - "char", that contains two groups "seat", "legs".

i have added a onClick behavior that i would like to hide / show the legs (just for testing).

i thought i could do something like legs.SET("hidden", 0, 1), but that gives an error.

i can ad the onclick behavior direct at the "legs", but when they are hidden, i can't click to show them again - so i thought the solution could be to add the behavior to the parent.

is it possible to access childs from the main group?

thanks

@Wo3Dan

oh my - that really was a simple, but stupid mistake.
thanks for clearing it out for me.

Hi wo3dan

I thought the date and time was saved in the file - it was when I opened the file.

Date was 22.06, time 19:19.

shadow.skp

hi juju

thanks for your reply - and sorry - signature should be updated now.

date and time was correct
"i then created a 1cm x 1cm x 100cm object in sketchup, added my location sat the correct time and date - and used UTC -1 (denmark). " - and location checked.

why should i ditch revit? revit did it correct - sketchup not.
no need to demean revit - revit has it's pros and cons, and so do sketchup.

i just wanted to test the shadows in sketchup.

i placed a one meter stick on the ground measured the shadow lenght to 2.8 meters.

i then created a 1cm x 1cm x 100cm object in sketchup, added my location sat the correct time and date - and used UTC -1 (denmark).

the shawdow lenght was 5,14m in sketchup - almost the doubble lenght.

does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

i did the same test in revit - and it was 2.82 meters.

Alan...is there any way to reverse the upward/downward looking of the mouse control?

It is backwards from Unity and others

take a look at lonherz post.

I have to say it's a very impressive plugin. and a very userfriendly ui.

thanks for the effort.

hi pixero

i can use it at home - so i don't think it's a user-error

mayby it's a conflict with an other plugin?

i get this message in the ruby console as soon as i press an arrow key.

Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion to float from nil>

Hi Pixero

a nice small tool, and i use it often.

but at work, it won't detect the arrowkeys

i can start the plugin by using alt+arrow down - it does activate and i can enter a distance, but then nothing happens

at home it works just fine.

i use sketchup 2015, both at home and at work, and windows 7 at work, windows 10 at home.

i have tried to reset shortcuts, but that did not help

does anyone know what the problem could be?

thanks
jorgensen

I wonder if vorpx could be used, or if it's only for games

has anyone used oculus rift 'inside' sketchup while designing?

i've seen a lot of topics 'export to unity', but is it possible to use oculus rift while using sketchup? maybe vorpx could do the job?

jorgensen

hi

i wonder if the there is a way to adjust the smoothness of curved faces imported from revit?

i export from revit as dwg > solids > acis solids to sketchup, but i have not found a way to adjust the roundness of curved walls ect.

have i just overlooked this option or does it not exists?

thanks
jorgensen

Thank kristoff

I haven't thought of using make fur. I sure will try that out.

Thanks

Hi tig

This is a very nice plugin, even though I have a problem.

I have a wall, that is 20 meter high wall and 100 meters long, and somehow I need to green (not the right word I guess) whis wall.

But I have a struggle to find the right settings. No matter what settings I use, it seems that I can't get the ivy higher than 4-5 meters before it gets to heavy / dence. Can anyone guide me here

If I can create some of the Ives I can use them as proxies in max / octane, but it might not be possible at all to create ivys this big?

Or just change the keys to wasd?

Hi pascal

Not sure I understand you right, but I don't have sketchup 2014.

Maybe I should reinstall sketchup and octane.

I tried to removed all plugins, and the script seems to run ok - but I still get the error.

If I install octane render, the problem happens again (things take very long time), even with the Octane Viewport closed.

So it seems that octane render somehow sesses things up in my Sketchup.

Hi Pascal

I have just purchased the plugin (version 1.10.07) and installed it in SU 8 pro.

I get an error when I try edit a tree

Do you know how I can avoid this?

Thanks

[EDIT]
It seems to work if I just press ok.

Is it somehow possible to speedup the redraw process - I'll have to wait several minutes before the tree is updated

I guess it's a limitation of Sketchup, but I find the plugin hard to use then I have to wait this long every time
