Love the Video Tutorial Nathaniel!

I've had some discussion with other SketchUp users about developing the plugin for commercial use. Should I require that the user have PRO installed? A number of registered users of the plugin do not use it for commercial use, I would rather keep it open to all users but it would be easier to develop within PRO with its Boolean functions.

I say if it furthers your development, then make it for the PRO version.

Looking great Nathaniel! You are doing such great work with all of your plugins.

What pbacot said is exactly what I'm looking for!

Rather than a polyline or line to wall framing "converter", I've always wished for a face to wall framing converter. This way in schematic design you can use basic sketchup masses for creating walls. Then when you convert the model for construction drawings, engineering, and detialing you can just pick the exterior face of the wall mass and it will convert and add the framing based on that face's shape.
There use to be a "facetoFrame" plugin, but it wasn't very tricked out.

Baz,

You are great! I didn't even think of drawing in sketchup first, then converting to vector in layout! Genius! Thank you! Much better than my png version. I'm glad I didn't spend too much time building a library of .png. I'm going to go at a scrapbook library your way in Layout.

Cheers!

I think I figured out what I was looking for.....Just needed to create .png files with transparency and drag them into Layout. Can't toggle the fill on and off, but good enough.

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious if anyone could point me to a library of Landscaping masks for use in Layout?

I realize this is often done in Photoshop, but I can see a path to having a scrapbook full of plants, trees, rocks, etc. that will mask my model view on a layout page.

Specifically, I am hoping for simple line drawings of these elements that can have the fill toggled off and on to mask items behind them.

I suspect in order for the fill mask to work these would have to be drawn in Layout rather than created in another program and inserted into Layout?

Has anyone created such a thing? Willing to share? If anyone had a good library I am willing to pay for it as well.

Attached is an example of what I would like the landscape "masks" to look like:

Thanks!

Looking good Nathaniel! I'm just waiting for polygon shapes for the foundations in your plugin.

Jim,

Thank you soo much for the response. I didn't realize you had a version of the plugin that was more recent than the one I was running. All is working well in SU2017 and all is right in my world! Cheers!!

Hey Sketchucation,

Despite having changed my email address in my profile settings, I continued to receive the newsletter to my old email address. I finally had to unsubscribe with that old email address. NOW I can't find where to re-subscribe with my new email address. Can you please help? I'd like to continue to receive the newsletter.

Thank you

Krisidious, I just came across this post and would really, really love the plugin to frame walls from faces that you mentioned. Is it available?

I quite like this Andersen window tool but....Does anyone know if there is a way to clean up (miter) the corners of the frame with this tool (or another quick plugin tool)? They don't seem to miter and look correct on there own.

Thanks for the help.
