We have PSP but I don't know what you're doing when you say "side merged". Could you run that one by me again slowly with some tweening? - I like the image.

Thanks

Actually, you don't have to go to the top of the outliner - just click in any white space and it will take you out to the top.

Set the 2D scene and a 3D scene up once in an empty drawing and make it your template so that every project from now on will work for you.

Just to update TIG's reply, here is the code to cut and paste that worked for me FOR THE PIPE_ALONG_PATH ruby:

     ###$submenu2.add_item("Pipe Along Path") { pipe_along_path }### 
   UI.add_context_menu_handler{|menu|menu.add_separator;menu.add_item("Pipe Along Path"){Sketchup.active_model.select_tool pipe_along_path.new}}

Hope this helps everyone enjoy this excellent piece of code.

Thanks again TIG

You have to weigh the polygon count as much as the file size. Alan did one like that in the old forum with a 100Kb file that brought most computers to their knees. He used a really high poly object as a component multiplied a hundred times. The file size was just that of the one component, but the polygon count was in the millions as I remember.

Could you test it using Safari for Windows as the browser for the HTML? Would that give you a more accurate preview of what the Mac might be seeing?

Just asking a question out my deep Ruby ignorance.

I have a dongle for my Mac that changes the DVI to VGA so that I can connect to older monitors and projectors - could there be a little gender bender cable out there that will do it for you?

is a search I did to look for software - too many items as a result. You could also do something clever with folder actions and Automator. Here is one from Apple http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/syncfolders.html that you can customize.

A better solution might be to get a NAS - Network Attached Storage - a smart hard drive that sits on your network for everyone to use. http://www.bad-seed.org/dwelling/2007/03/notes-on-nas-and-mac-os-x/ is a nice intro. Having all your files in one place helps to enforce office standards and makes back up a lot easier. Our office works that way - personal files sit on your hard drive while ALL client files sit on the NAS and get backed up off site daily.

Keep them coming - you do a great job. - Kelly

I did do an export to EPIX and then changed the extension of the file to TIF. On the Mac, the file opened in Preview to show that there were 3 images inside. The first was the visible scene as in SU, the second was the grayscale depth map and the third was pure white - don't know what that was about. But I could then export the second image for my own use without ever going near Piranesi.

Just thought that might be useful to you.

Isn't the EPIX format for Piranesi basically a depth map export too? Haven't tried it myself, but I thought that one of the files exported looked similar to what you have achieved.

I just downloaded the file that they offered even though there was no version number, but it was 2.2 that installed from that file. There were download buttons on the left side and the bottom of the front page.
