Hi;
Just started evaluating the latest versions of Lumion and Twinmotion and was wondering if anybody had any insights into either package or even better a direct comparison from someone who has used both?
We will primarily import SU and Revit models for animation.
Thx,
Marc
Here's our (current) workflow for drawing plans... I say that as we have changed our workflow several times over the years since using SU and LO for all our CDs. As a general note - we have used Buildedge for a while now to quickly draw walls and openings until we have a completed schematic model at which point we "commit" the model and work w basic SU functionality. Buildedge is super fast at quickly drawing walls, openings, floors and roofs and is very versatile for plan modifications. Once the plans is solid, we commit the Buildedge model to SU. As far as getting your model onto paper space... We tried Michael Brightman's workflow for a while w good success, our main issue with it was that you are constantly clicking inside multiple containers (groups) to modify things. We then switched to our own layer structure w simple layer grouping and Skalp as the main source for creating section fills. This also works great with one drawback... If you use SU models in the field on iPads as we do, the plan fills and sections now don't work because you used a plugin to create them - I'd say if you don't have that need, go that route. We now use Nick Sonders process w our own layer structure and it seems to work best for our case.
Been running Windows 10 since the public beta opened up and no major problems in general. But Geeeez.... When is SU going to scale correctly for higher resolution displays? Was an issue w Windows 8 and still is an issue now!

Is anyone aware of a plugin that draws dashed lines in any direction? For purposed of drawing door/window swing direction on door surfaces. Tried TIG's 2D tools but appears I can't draw at an angle...
Just read that SU mobile viewer 2 is available, and I'm very excited about it, but it's not available in the apple App Store as noted in the news release http://www.ktvn.com/story/29061841/trimble-announces-new-version-of-sketchup-mobile-viewer-for-anywhere-anytime-3d-model-sharing
Anybody have any news on this?
I am also trying Revizto right now. Works well on iPad so far with limited testing.
iMac related question. Are you running the i5 version or did you upgrade to the i7? In the process of buying a iMac and wondering if the new i7 upgrade is necessary.
Nothing specific. As I've never run any AMD cards w SU, I just wanted to make sure there are not any GFXCard issues. Thx for your input.
Here's our dilemma: We produce very detailed SU models with 45+ scenes that transfer seamlessly to LO. Plan views and section views are setup with Skalp. How do we get these models on iPads? The SU iPad viewer doesn't work. Trimble Connect doesn't work either. Has anybody tried any of the 3D PDF solutions and do they work on iPads. Looking for a good solution to allow easy scene viewing on an iPad - even though I know we will have to setup the views without Skalp.
Thx in advance.

wondering if anybody here is running SU on one of the iMac's with the AMD Radeon M290x or M295x cards and what the experience is?
Thx,

Ha - Gilles suggestion worked but I had to select all leader text. Thx guys.
Ok.... This is driving me crazy and there's probably a very simple solution to it! Placed text on a slab (see screenshot - the TOF text) - by accident on the same layer... want to select it now and put it on its own layer but cannot figure out how to select it!??? Tried lassoing, can't click directly on it, if I keep trying it will eventually select the face of the slab... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thx,
Marc
Gents - I finally figured it out. I'm using Skalp sections to create these plans and somehow during the last upgrade the correct scene styles got screwed up for the skalp sections. Deactivating/Reactivating the skalp sections and updating all scenes in layout fixed the issue.
Thx for chiming in.

Hi there;
I have a weird issue and no answer to it. I have two section cuts (Skalp sections) that show a weird greyish shading in the viewport (see attached screenshot). Viewport is rendered in Hybrid. Any ideas where this comes from?
It's not about the toolbar. More the actual tool once it's selected ie tape measure, pen etc etc and the status bar at the bottom. Values are barely readable.
Actually not having any issues on my Macbook Pro, I have a Surface 3 and it's small but not as bad as on the ASUS. Does anyone know if there will be a fix for this soon?
We are looking for an architect in Austin, TX that is familiar with Austin building code to collaborate on a commercial showroom project. Please email marc@Bauhaus.co
I already have it cranked all the way to 200%. All windows look good, the SU main window looks good also, just the bottom status bar and tools.
