Hello,

I have used ghost plug in to make proxy out of original object..
I have kept object in proxy format and exported it to kerkythea.
When i render it in kerkythea proxy object rendered without material why so?? Do we have convert the back to original form before exporting it into kerkythea every time??

Also i have some issues regarding camera in kerkythea. i have placed 3 cameras in the scene and have exported to kerkythea, but whenever i open the scene, i could not find the camera on the same location i have placed it? is it any kind of bug in kerkythea?? or there is some problem in my SU and kerkythea or somthing else?? ple help

Hello Gai..

I have been through number of posts but i could not found how to create proxy objects of nay already created object from the scene.. any tutorial or any pulgin to be used for it??

like in max... if scene is getting heavier due to some of the objects we can convert it into proxy.. but once we did it we can not edit in the scene..we have to modify original file.. is there any same method in SU..
MANDAR

yup will surely do that..

thnks

Hello Gai..

I am attaching 2 images here. In the 1st image you will see the all the objects in the respective layers in layer panel along with one blue selected object which is in layer 0... which is surprisingly not even getting deleted from the scene... i don't know why??

in the 2nd image i put off rest of the layers just keeping layer 0 on... (for your info: layer text to layer1 contains nothing and still they exist ..i cant delete them..i tried purge method..but didn't worked...so they are still there)

now what i want is..i want to delete these objects from image 2 along with unnecessary layers... how should i go about it..

one more thing... this is just a basic model yet to add number of things for landscaping purpose and building elevation treatment is also remaining... instead if Kerkythea export pulgin if i go and export the scene in 3ds format it take very long time(it actually took whole day and night)..some times while exporting sketch up crashes. Exporting in .obj format also took long time.. why so??? is it b'coz of number of geometry in the scene?? or the errors in the CAD file?? .dae format work neatly but then exported file doesn't come along with the textures..even though i have kept "Export texture maps" option ON from export option dialog box.

Well as you said it's a CAD file that i have imported to start with. but before importing it into SU i have kept CAD file units to MM and while importing in SU i have kept importing units as MM as well. so i don't think there will be any issue of units in the model, but as you have mentioned SU has some minor problems working with scales, when i try to save the file every time it shows.. "there are some minor errors in the model do you want SU to fix it before saving the file?? "
If i select yes option files turns the way its showing in the image.. it automatically removes some of the faces. but if i say no then it keep the file the way it is...& again starts giving some error while exporting or importing in to other s/w like 3ds max.

May be the CAD file on which i am working has some issues and i have to fix them in CAD before working into SU..

Hi Gai..

Thanks,

Mandar

Hi Gai..

Thnks for your support..
But i don't have required permissions to see the attached file... can you mail it to me directly on my mail id
"mandarkarve@gmail.com" it would be nice if you could do so.

I am new to Sketch UP yet and don't have much idea abt working in layers in SU and some tricks/twists to lighten up the model while modeling, but will definitely improve myself as time goes by..

Thanks,
Mandar

Hi Gaieus,

Hello Gaieus..

After modelling the terrain.. i m trying my hand on buildings..I am done with the few buildings.. I have to render them in max 11 as i m not use to sketch up rendering.. i m more comfortable with max rendering..

But when i take the file into max 11.. building blocks are one single entity... Some faces of the building block comes with material and few becomes black... may be inverted faces..so tried changing the normal..but if i do so some may change to proper material but few remains as it is..and it shows black and white areas in render...

i m attaching both max as well as sketch up file with this post... Kindly help..

Thnks,
Mandarmax file with building block
