I've made a plugin that opens the advanced camera settings window on rightclick if you want to adjust clipping plane manually.

About adding support for quads.
Couldn't you ask Thomthom if he would be willing to share the code he uses in his Quadface tools?

Thanks.

Here is another interior view for the project.

Thanks you.
I agree with the previous poster that PDF import would be awesome.

~~Then I get:

{@myid}

I'm doing it inside a:

sel.each {|e|
  puts"{@myid}"; 
  e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid)     
}

~~

Edit:

Doh! It was all a small typo with a D instead of a d.
Works as it should now.

I'm getting an attribute from a component this way:

@myid = e.definition.get_attribute("A", "Id")  

If I do a:

puts @myid

I get the correct value.
Something like this: 0481e69d-cbc0-4e4c-2c32-e2d2f7932bdf

And setting it this way:

e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid) 

or

e.definition.set_attribute("A", "Id", @myid.to_s)   

But all I get is nil.

What am I doing wrong?

I think you're wanting to make SketchUp behave like Revit/AutoCAD but it works differently.
SketchUp needs to group geometry to keep them apart. Without groups/components you would end up with a model that is impossible to work with since edges and faces would be glued together into a gigantic messy mesh.

I have been working with SketchUp since 2000 and in the past I also tried to put loose geometry to different layers but since they are connected there WILL be problems.
Having all geometry on Layer0 and putting groups and components to different layers is what works best in SketchUp.

As a side note, I have found that SketchUp somehow is much faster if you have grouped geometry versus loose geometry.

Here is my current best workflow Revit to SketchUp:

Wow.
I use Fredo box stretch frequently but didn't know you could move the scaling "plane".
That makes it even better.
I guess we learn something every day...

I haven't used that feature yet so I can't say. I have only used it to set the aspect ratio of the SU Scene to be able to match in Enscape better.

There is also this plugin Safe Frame Tools.

Wow. Thanks. Does it import textured objects?

It really depends if you want to work with the file in SketchUp or just render it.
If you just want to render it I would use something like fbx that can export with textures.
If you want to work with the file and have geometry grouped in a way that is workable in SketchUp there is to my knowledge no better way than using dwg.
I have tried all plugins that exist and they all fall short in how geometry is either grouped with deeply nested groups or creates triangulated geometry so it’s impossible to work with.
I have made a previous post here with my (so far) best method explained.

You should really just use a texture instead of geometry.
Also for viewport speed. Turn off profile edges and group all those loose components.
I Made a simplified version of your component with fewer edges but the file somehow grew to 54 mb.
Here it is anyway.

I have some problem with this composition.
The first focus is the large brightly lit table with glasses and then my eyes goes to the tv screen. After that my eyes goes to the bright yellow sky to the right and then to the yellow sculpture to the right. I don't really see the room.
I think another view would show the room better.

Also doesn't anyone use carpets on the floors?
In Sweden they are quite common and I also think they tie groups of furniture together in a nice way.

I don't see support for importing and exporting Revit files?
And no .max format support either? (3DS is not really a native 3ds max format anymore since it's quite old and limited.)

Here is a similar one. But its old and I don't know if it works with current version of SketchUp.

Blender is improving really fast, i think even more since the first release of 2.8 one year ago. There are already tons of great plugins available and i think with the support of corporations like Epic, AMD, nvidia and Ubisoft the future could be even better.
I really hope someone adds Sketchup-like modeling to the toolbox...

I know that the developer of Snap Utilities are now working to get this kind of tools into the Blender core. He has discontinued sales of the plughin while he works at the Blender Foundation.

Near the perfection!

What is the process for don't have frame (segments) around the object with the transparent texture/photo ?
If i erase them (segments) all is erased! (Texture/photo)

Set SketchUp to show Wireframes.
Open any group or component.
Drag to select the edges and right click to hide them.
Set SketchUp to Shaded with textures.
The edges are now "gone".

Great models...and Edingen must be a popular place since all the busses and trains go there.
