Hi TIG
I found the old dialog regarding the file TIGimportcamera.rb
I have updated the last Sketup update, but I can't get the script to work this time.
Can you help me?

Also, I would love to donate for having successfully used the script for many years!
How can I donate?

Kind regards,
Mikkel

Is there a way to display the height information for the Color for Z plugin?
I would like to create a map where the height difference between the bottom layer and the height layer is displayed!?
Thanks

Hi Rich
That is very much appreciated, and I am getting it to work and have gone from frustrated to curious and testing different settings.
Thanks!!!

Hi
I have been following tutorials on CutNfill, but can't make it work on a large terrain.
I have attached a photo of the two terrains I am using which shows the contours. Both volumes are equal in dimensions with the same height for the "skirt."
When I combine the two volumes cutNfill does it work, but the result is both 0 for cut and fill.

I have tried simplifying the terrains, making sure that everything is equal except for the added area, but I can't get it to work.
The terrain is built up of quads.

The work process that I aim for is to use cutNfill to have "volumes" for the height difference and the use of color by height to create a map of the amount of soil to be added to the landfill and to calculate the total amount.

I can calculate the cubic meters to be added from entity info, but I want to show the amount of soil to add for the different areas of the terrain.

Below is also a link to my SketchUp file that you cant download if you are curious.
I would extremely appreciate the help.

I have also had a challenge creating a good terrain that follows the contour lines and breaks at the right lines. Creating a triangular mesh is not good and using Toposhaper works better but not perfect.
If you have good suggestions for creating the best terrain, I would love to know.

Thanks,
Mikkel

I'd expect the old RB file still to work OK in v2015.
However, how are you making the camera-data file ?
Try Notepad++ and set the file's encoding to UTF8-without-BOM...
Report back...
Dear TIG
Worked a little more with the script and camera file and I am back in business!!
Thanks!!

You can get a dialog that takes some input for camera data [but 'up' is a vector!] using this code [PC only, I'm afraid!]

copy+paste this code into a file called camera_info.rb in the Plugins folder and you get the new item in the menu after a restart...

Dear TIG
It has been a long time since last and i would like to ask you a big favor regarding the camera import script. I used to have the user name mbark and you made the TIGimportcamera.rb. I am now using Sketchup 2015 and the script will not import. Can you help with an updated version. I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
