Does the Ruby Library Depot still exist please. I tried http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/ which is referred to at https://sites.google.com/site/sketchupsage/resources/sketchup-scripts-extensions-plugins-add-ons but it is not working.

Please send it to me also.

Not sure if this has already been asked. Is there any way of calculating real-world shading losses via the Report option for string-connected panels please?

At present if I have a string of 8 panels and one gets shaded, it seems to only calculate the losses in that one panel. In reality all 8 panels will lose power unless optimizers or microinverters are in use.

It would also be good if it recognised split-cell panels, and allowed for the fact that they can still produce power from the top half if the bottom half is shaded (portrait mode).

I just noticed something strange. I just copied my kmz to a new folder that did not have the image folder as a sub-folder and it no longer displays the images. Can someone else please verify whether the longer version http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cf8544f0c3074395dfd89dd71a555b12 displays all of the photos as per the YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1oBDw08x4

My image links used to be eg. images/pic1.jpg. I changed them to ../images/pic1.jpg based on a forum post I read about a change to GE that was apparently made with GE6. I wonder if that could be the problem.

Now that they are scrapping the 3D Buildings layer maybe they will consider including a layer for 3D animations. Things like the London Eye etc. ...or maybe not.

Who said MP3 files couldn't be embedded in a KMZ file uploaded to the 3D Warehouse??? They can be!

Found the problem after 3 hours of searching. It was one single filename with part of the name "delfin" but the "i" was accented instead of a dot. It was in the jpg file name plus in the doc.kml file that referenced it. Methinks (Trimble) need to fix their meaningless message so people have some idea what the problem is.

The big problem is I was first getting an error message relating to latitude and longitude. The message then changed but the problem remained the same, which is is confusing to say the least.

The finished version is here:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=cf8544f0c3074395dfd89dd71a555b12

It was because I was using encoding of ISO-8859 on the first line of the KML instead of UTF-8. That was because it had accented Spanish characters. I converted those to non accented using http://textmechanic.com/Remove-Letter-Accents.html and changed it to UTF-8 and it then uploaded fine.

Well, I also had an MP3 file embedded which it rejected so I also had to delete that unfortunately.

I managed to upload the first of the two files:

The second one, which is much more detailed, keeps failing with a server error message "The server encountered an error and could not complete your request". It is 5.3Mb in size. Is there a size limit on them of less than 5Mb perhaps? According to Sketchup Guide Allison on this post https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/3dwh/iW_qyvpuL-U (near the bottom) it should accept kmz files up to 10Mb.

Does anyone know what the following error message means when trying to upload a KMZ file to the 3D Warehouse please:

"3D Warehouse is unable to load this file. Cannot parse latitude, longitude, or reference to model file."

It is a large KML animation (1300 lines of code) with 14 embedded models and one MP3 file. It runs perfectly from my PC. I tried a smaller version of it, with the same result.
