thomthom, do we have any update of the status of this plugin?

Could you try this almost free Tool. It is a tool for exporting Sketchup models into Unity3D. It seems to be easy way to get Sketchup models into Unity3D. Anyway, I had some problems when using it and therefore I would like to know if I am doing something wrong. Please let me know if you get it working. The author of the tool seems to be really helpful when having problems.

Thanks again for your help Gaieus! I deleted the underlying geometry and now I get pretty much the results that I was hoping to get.

I also tried to make the mesh from only vertical lines but I pretty much got the same results. Here is the file in case you have time to test different options.

Thank you Gaieus for offering to help me!
Actually all the lines are vertical. Anyway, I didn't really get the results that I wanted. Do you know if there is better way to create this kind of terrain mesh. My idea is to create the mesh in Sketchup, create a heightmap and then take the heightmap into UNITY 3D software. As you may see from the pictures, I am trying to create a golf course.

Is there a plugin that creates a construction point in the end of each line (line that is not connected to anything) in the model?

I am trying to create a 3D mesh (terrain). I have created lines (with Three Line Tools Plugin) that indicates the height of the terrain in each location. Now, I would like to create a construction point in the end of each line and then use Points to Mesh Plugin to create a terrain.

Thank you Didier!

Chris,
Is it possible to use your Color by Z- plugin for creating a heightmap from model? I would need to create heightmap from Sketchup model and take it into Unity 3D for creating a terrain (just like Heightmap plugin was supposed to do).

Did anybody find some solution for instant BugSplat upon starting SU when using this plugin?

I finally got it working. I just downloaded the script from (http://registry.gimp.org/node/15118)and replaced the script that I had downloaded from (http://newslily.com/blogs/96), and now it is working just fine.

Thanks again for help guys. Now I got one step further.

This is what I have done so far:
1.I uninstaled my Gimp 2.0

2.I downloaded Gimp (gimp-2.6.8-i686) and installed it on my computer

3.I downloaded (resynthesizer-for-Windows-0.13b) and copied (resynthesizer.exe) from extracted files (Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins) to Gimp plugins folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins)

4.I saved the script from the webpage (http://newslily.com/blogs/96)to(C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts)

5.Now I find Heal selection option in filters but when I run it I get error message:

Does anybody else get this error message?

Thanks for explanation TIG.

I get the plugin working but the results are nothing like it should be. The removed part is filled with sky in my case. I believe that there was some kind fix for this problem but I can't get it working (I can find any Heal selection- alternative in my filters). When they talk about Fix, they tell to:

"Download the second file and copy it to C:\program files\gimp-2.0\share\gimp.0\scripts"

But, I don't have this folder structure. Has anybody else had similar problems?

This is where they talk about Fix (Heal selection):

Thanks for the help.

I got decent results by doing the whole dome and then erasing the half of it. And, with this Extrude Edges by Rail plugin it worked just perfect.

Could somebody help me with this. I have been trying to model the shape that can be modeled with Follow Me Tool, but it is not giving exactly what I want. How would you model the same shape (rounded end)? Is there some plugin that would help me?

Thanks. These are perfect for my needs.

I have been following different animation solutions (plugins and extensions) for Sketchup and I think that Sketchers Studio is the most advanced one. Anyway, they seem to have it only for Mac.

Thanks for a great tutorial. Ruby is something that I would really like to learn. I would assume that it will require so much time that I will never start learning it. Anyway, this kind of tutorial really makes me think that maybe I should still think about it.

Is there some trick to get this work? I see Mover Dialog-option in Plugins menu, but nothing happens when I try to activate it.

Is there any free or cheap way to get Sketchup model into Solidworks? I have tried SU2STL plugin, but my colleague told that he is not able to edit the geometry in Solidworks.

I also found this software but it is quite expensive:

I don't know too much about making 3D games but maybe this software (3D RAD) could help you with this matter. I haven't had time to try it yet but it seems interesting. It is free and you should be able to import Sketchup models into 3D RAD.
