Hi

I have just started using layout. Until now I have used indesign, but wanted to give layot a change to see if I could be more effective.

I now got my first problem. I add a scene in layout. In SU the faces are "hidden line", this shows fine in layout. But when I change is to some exact scale the facestyle goes to something like "shaded with textures"

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the facestyle inside layout ?

Thanks... really need a solution

Hi Didier

I would like to use your 'component spray tool' to add life to my models. For that 'point spray' would be greate.

But the problem is, when I 'spray' inside a bulding, the people I add are placed outside the group and on top of the roof, not inside the building as I would like.

I'm I doing something wrong or is it not possible ?

Thanks

how simple can it be - I have used SU since ver. 5.0 but I have never used outliner before

Thanks thomthom

does anyone know if it's possibe ?

Thanks

Hi

I sometimes needs to create some random curtinwall. Usally I create a face, divide it using the fine protrude.rb script and then use the multi face offset.rb to create the mullions, but it leaves me with a line to much (the one that is offset)

Does anyone know of a good and fast method ?
Thanks

hi thomthom, rickw

yes i found just that one

@TIG
Thanks for your input, even though I couldn't understand your script

But I managed to get it to work by using this:
page = model.pages.add newname

layers.each { |l| page.set_visibility(l, false)}
page.set_visibility(layer, true)

puts page.update(32)
page.use_axes			= false
page.use_camera		= false
page.use_hidden		= false
page.use_hidden_layers	= true
page.use_rendering_options	= false
page.use_section_planes	= false
page.use_shadow_info		= false
page.use_style			= false

It might not be beautifull, but it works

Wow. Thanks thomthom. I wasn't aware of this Sketchucation feature

Hmm, well I know how to add the page, but it 'remembers' everyting, I need it to only remember layers - is that possible ?

It might be simple, but I'm a total newbie

Thanks

Hi Remus

Does it turn off the other layers in the new created scene (page) - or is it in generel ?
What I need is, when I press the new scene, the only layer that is visible, is the one with the same name as the scene.

I hope that I'm describe it ok

Thanks

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a script that alow one to add compnents along a path (e.g. bizer curve)?

Thanks

ok, I figured it out to automatic add a new scene with the same name as the layer
page = model.pages.add newname

But how do I turn all the other layers off, except the one just added, in this new scene ?

Hi Earthmover and Solo

Thanks both for your input. Hmm toonboom is looking alot like Flash...

Does anyonw in here know which programs are often used by commercials ?

The commercials I have in mind are thoes small clips in TV, where text pops up, and slowly gets bigger or moved and effects like that.

Could one of them be Adobe After Effects ?

Hi Dave

Thanks for your response. Does the text export with the images ?

It might confligt with an other script. My version i 1.1 - there might be a newer one ?

Edit:
Oh there is a version 1.3 at http://www.smustard.com/script/Time - now I have to figure out if I can get an update.

When I create different models to analyze, I often use the script "add_hidden_layer.rb" by Jim Foltz to add a layer that is hidden in already created scenes, and then add a scene like 05, where layer 05 is shown.

I would be greate if the scene (same name as the added layer e.g. 10) was added automatic - is this possible in ruby ?

Thanks

Hi

I need to do a shadow simlutaion.

I thought I could use TBD's time.rb and then export the animation, but it seems that time.rb won't work in SU7 pro.
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `gmtime' for 0.0:Float>

Is there a other way to add the current time in a animation ? is it even possible with time.rb ?

Thanks

Very interesting

has anyone tried it ?

I once tried to model something for BF2, but it got to complicated

Could be fun to walk around in once project

Are there other game engines that works together with SU ?

Jorgensen

Anyone that has the time to write this script ?

wow - it's hard to get some satifying results

I wish that "smoothStepAnim" had some parameters to adjust the soft ness
