Nice - in V18 the option hashes are added for several file formats. http://ruby.sketchup.com/file.exporter_options.html

Thanks for the suggestion Jim but screenspace wasn't the problem. It was a windows tablet PC setting (right/left handed) that was causing it.

Seems to be a known problem when applying custom mapping / using SketchUV. Dale (Whaat) even posted a workflow for it but I can't seem to get it to work: http://artisan4sketchup.com/manual/sketchuv/lessons/Auxillary_Tools_-_Path_Select_and_Triangulate.html create object apply material with texture export UV's (obj) using SketchUV to third party program (Blender for instance) apply UV's in third party program, export as obj import UV's using SketchUV apply 'triangulate' in SketchUV export as fbx this workflow still generates multiple materials and textures. I must be missing something. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

thanks for the tip TIG, will try it soon. edit: TIG you were right. works fine when keeping the materials closed.

@jql said: @jclements said: Would there be a way for a scene to execute the extents of a model so as the geometry increases or decreases, its extents are viewed for that scene when it is first opened? That would be great if it wouldn't pervert Layout viewports. I.E. if a scene for a floor plan has a different setting than it was created it will shift inside Layout. Technically I think it is possible to do both. It would need another tickbox in the settings/edit screen for each line. Good suggestion. Will add it to the list.

Hi, after 6 years still not found another good real line hatches solution. May I ask if there's any progress with your plugin? When you estimate we can buy it?

I made an entry for this in our bug tracker, so we'll take a look at it. Thanks, Marc

Turns out there were more resellers in the Netherlands who were having problems. They blame their distributor. After 3 weeks (21 days) I know one reseller that started passing codes. Later that week (25 days) mine came through.

On the PC, send_action can process native tool command integer IDs. I pub'd some IDs here (but do not use that file as is. It mods the API.) Just use it for tool ID reference. Somewhere here Thomas also posted a tool ID hash. Ex: Sketchup::send_action( 24201 ) # Union Tool

@kaas said: @sdmitch said: If you are willing to post or pm me a sample model and the plugin, I will be glad to see what if anything I can do with it. Hi Sdmitch, thanks for your offer. Jolran and I are already pm-ing about a solution so I think it will be already resolved. Max Great, but the offer is still good.

are you converting a pdf into a image file

Thanks for the comments Bryan and Alexandre. Will have another look at it for sure.

@jiminy-billy-bob said: I think you missed something. In a layer-based workflow, the layers are only used to manage the geometry visibility. That's what you do with hidden geometry and scenes. But navigating in the group/comps hierachy is still done the same way: Using outliner if you like it, or double-clicking if you don't. Layers have nothing to do with navigating in the geometry and how it is nested. They're just a matter of controling its visibility. I understand your point. At the moment I only have to name all my groups and components (everything is on layer 0) and drag them into the right 'tree'. You're suggesting to use layers for controlling the visibility and, if I would like to avoid more double-clicking, use naming as well for quick picking in the outliner. That could get messy when re-arranging objects etc. I rather wish if the original problem could be fixed somehow: being able to control the visibility of nested groupsin scenes.
