    • Spiral Ramps

      Hi All

      I have to model a spiral ramp in a parking garage.

      I downloaded hel_ramp.rb and placed it in the plugins folder, but it does not show up anywhere when SU is opened.

      3 questions.
      Is hel_ramp.rb what I need to model the ramp?
      What do I need to do to get the rubyscript working?
      Is there any other way of modeling the spiral ramp?

      Running both SU 6 Pro & SU 7 Pro

      Thanks
      Mike

    • Creation & Scaling of Materials

      Hi All

      Please could someone help me.

      I have created a Marsailles Clay Roof Tile material in a model and now want to save it from the model into SketchUp's main material folder for use in other models. I have tried using the create material in the material editor and saving as, without any success.

      Also how do I create and scale a seamless material. I have numerous .bmp and .jpg files of different face-brick types and colours that I need to turn into seamless textures for use on a commercial project that I am working on

      Thank you

    • SketchUp Walkthrough with pop ups

      Hi

      I have a client who wants me to create a walk-through of 10 city blocks and add pop ups to various buildings, i.e. have some sort of tag on a particular building that when you click on it, a photo of the same building as it was in 1920, or a view of the street in 1930, appears in a pop-up window.

      Creating the walk-through I can do. I do not have the faintest idea of how to go about setting up the pop-up data and if it is even possible to do in SU.

      Can anybody advise me if it is possible, and if so, how do I go about setting it up?

      Thanks

    • Intro & Window Insertion Problem

      Hi

      I am an Architectural Technologist from Durban South Africa.

      I have played around with SU for a number of years but nothing serious until now.

      I have one problem that is driving me nuts. I am unable to get a window (from the component Library) to punch through the inner face of a wall

      On Audacia.skp I overcame this by removing the inner face. I only needed exterior views. Wall thickness was 230mm.

      On Easy Holidays.skp I had to resort to constructing the window in the wall. Wall thickness was 130mm. I even tried making a window component 180mm thick. No luck this just sat flat on the front face. It is quite possible that I placed the insertion point in the wrong place.

      Any and all help greatfully received.

      Thanks

      Mike Backler
