TIG, we quite often set correct Geo location for our models. It would be great if there was an option in this amazingly useful script to revert back to the previously set Geo location.

I find it's easy enough to apply Elev45 temporarily to a select scene, and then revert the model back to the proper geo location, rather than fiddle with the importing files into a new SKP file etc. At the moment I manually type in the Geo location after letting Elev45 have its way with my model. A 'revert to previous geo location' button would be better. Is this possible to do?

Thank you Tom!

macgile, this is awesome! Thank you!

I've been wanting a tool like this forever. Thanks very much Fredo6!

I had the same problem on WinXp SP2. Now that I'm on Win7 cmd window doesn't pop up anymore.

I'm running Windows7 Pro, my card is Quadro 600, 2 monitors. I can't seem to run more than 1 instance of SketchUp (8 Pro). If I attempt to run a second instance, the first one crashes every time. Has anyone come across this issue?

Thanks Jim, this should be very useful, except:

1. I Save As.. -> choose Sketchup 7
2. modify file
3. File -> Save Previous
4. Try to close, SketchUp asks me if I want to save before closing. (clearly not saving with Save Previous)

What am I doing wrong?

Anssi, exporting as polymesh gives you one exploded mesh, no groups, no components. With ACIS solids export, everything is nicely grouped.

I find Fletch's Revit to SkethcUp via DWG workflow to be the best from what I've tried so far (thank you Fletch!). What I'm struggling to overcome is that all Revit walls import into SU as one of two layers, Walls Interior or Walls Exterior. We have different types of wall cladding used in a fairly intricate pattern, brickwork, diff. types of metal cladding, exotec etc. It is a big project and the idea of reapplying all the wall materials inside SketchUp is very painful (other building elements export fine and are managable).

Anybody have any thoughts?

Thank you! flatland it ain't

sahi,

напиши по русски, что плагин делает, я переведу. не особо понятно.

Until a couple of days ago installing a new script would mess up my toolbar locations, but at least I could re-arrange toolbars. Then I installed a couple of new ones, Extrusion Tools by TIG was one of them. And toolbars stopped sticking to where I wanted them to be! Really annoying!

Strangely, the following from Halroach did help. Thanks!

I have found a solution to the jumping toolbar problem!
you must pack and cram each line of toolbars all the way to the end, until one of the toolbars get cropped, and then cram one more toolbar until one of the toolbars shifts to the next line automatically (sort of like an auto carriage return, or wordwrap). Now you can rearrange the toolbars on the third line, and they won't jump around! and you can replace the cropped toolbar from the second line to the third line too...

PS This is not to say that TIG's Extrusion Tools was actually the culprit. I don't know what was.

If I don't use SketchUp for a little while I start forgetting shortcuts, workflows etc. But because of its simplicity it extremely easy to get back into it again. Using many plugins takes this away. I have many rubies installed but use regularly only a dozen maybe.

Looks a little too white.. Shouldn't this be in the Gallery section?

Thank you TIG!

thomthom, Universal Document Converter is a very useful print driver that has saved my bottom a few times when SketchUp refused to export at very high resolution. UDC doesn't do AA which is no problem, Photosohop does it better than SketchUp anyway. I've exported 14000px wide using UDC for highres elevations at A1 size. It costs US$69. http://www.print-driver.com/

Nice one TIG, thanks a lot!

Thanks Alex! I havn't tried Chris's ruby, but yours works very well. Спасибо

GOHCH, 1001bit_patch(3-May-09).zip works fine for me. WinXP SP3. Russian language translation is a work in progress at the moment at stroyka.cc

Thanks!
