2.4.4 beta out: http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9807

GPU enabled beta only available to people who joined the beta group, though.

For it to affect Sketchup they would have to be actively working on updating the software.

Seriously! The people your insulting read this forum on a pretty regular basis, a little courtesy would be nice.

Woops, accidentally voted 'yes' so you can scrub that and add one to the 'no' pile.

Im in the shortcuts camp, the toolbars i do have are for things like fred06's tools, which i dont use all the time but are good to have close at hand.

Awesome images edson, simply beautiful.

No.

Didnt realise you could do that! one for the 'Doh' thread

I get the feeling theres enough layers to make that pretty tedious...

Now on sale: genuine torn jeans, a bargain at $150!! just contact remus'_cheap_jeans@hotmail.co.uk for more details!!

Quite possibly. On a 32 bit system the whole machine only has ~3GB of memory that has to be used for everything (OS, programs etc.), but with a 64 bit system you can basically have as much memory as you can afford, and the OS will make it available to your programs so its quite possible that SU has more memory available to it.

You could always try saving it as a .3ds then importing it back in to SU.

Hmmm, most unusual. Working ok for me. Could you post a problem model?

Ok, here you go.

Several improvements in v.3:
works over the entire model (in groups and components), thanks to TIGs handy little snippet.
Adds all N-gons to a new selection
Tells you how many N-Gons there are in the model
Added a Tri check which can be accessed by typing tri_check() in to the ruby console

ngon_check.rb

Webconsole is a handy little ruby that lets you run bits of ruby in SU without having to package it as a separate file. You can find it here: http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2007/08/plugin-webconsolerb.html

Just install it as usual, open SU, hit the appropriate menu item, copy and paste the code in and click run.

I'll get going on a normal version, but no promises. Its been a while since ive written a ruby.

Try this in the webconsole. To be honest your probably better off using TIGs triangulate faces ruby, though...

model = Sketchup.active_model
entities = model.active_entities
selection = model.selection

n = 0

entities.each{|e|
  if e.is_a? Sketchup;;Face
    if e.edges.length > 4
      n += 1
      selection.add(e)
    end      
  end
}

if n > 0
  UI.messagebox("Contains N-Gons (Faces with >4 sides)")
else
  UI.messagebox("N-gon free!")
end

Probably easier to just use this: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=175613#p175613

My ruby skills are a little rusty as well

Crashing for me as well now
