RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@Mike-Amos The current vibe is a skeleton which we will improve over time.
There's many aspects that I am not a fan of either. But the previous was too old and had many security issues we needed to constantly patch. This is huge improvement over that.
Once we get a handle on the current quirks we are seeing then we can start polishing.

BMW/MERC/AUDI algorithm
So my Opel Combo rate must be low! Can I get my avatar in 1mx1m?
Really lovely work though. So unique and personal.

RE: Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.
@Mike-Amos said in Rayscaper, My trip down the road to adjumacation.:
wy selecting metal results in losing the ability to adjust colour as is the case with plastic etc.
Rayscaper exposes various shaders to the user to help create realistic and accurate materials.
Its Disney Shader is an Uber Shader that has a 'capture all' approach. But the dedicated Plastic and Metal shaders are for scenarios where you need to create a more physically correct material.
You can't colour metal in the traditional sense because other factors influence a metallic colour. In the next Rayscaper I believe he is including a physically correct Metal library
Metallic colouring is achieved by having correct IOR and Absorption values
Rather than doing the maths and twiddling the dials the next release should give you a base to build on.
But in this instance for your fridge I'd use the Disney shader with metallic at 1.0 and Roughness at 0.1 to 0.25

I am wondering is there any way to save the materials I make, locally?

RE: NEW Forum Software Issues
@panixia For PMs we will offer a solution to download them as CSV files
All the forums are still there but with the sheer volume of permissions we had it was easier to just set some general permissions here. We will restore fully once this bedding in period lapses.
That said we will be nuking subforums and merging forums for better clarity.
So far we are happy with the reception. We were expecting some frustrations but @rv1974 is not happy unless he is unhappy

RE: Request Section Management Panel
@alexpacio2013 SketchUp vanilla does allow you the activate and deactivate sections using Outliner. Mix that with the Entity Info panel to assign sections to tags you have the functionality you need.....mostly.
Only missing element would be assigning sections to scenes.
In relation to your AI script failing I would open the console and see what errors are output to give you some hints where it failing.
But SketchUp does alot of what you are asking out of the box it just uses existing panels that are multipurpose.
For instance, you can double click a section in the Outliner to activate/deactivate quickly. You can right click it in the Outliner to rename the section or symbol.
Outliner and Entity info are very powerful tools to select, organise and manage objects in SketchUp.

Is this a crazy idea?
No, but there are services you can use too which may be cheaper

Check if the texture has projection by right clicking the face and going to Texture > Projected

RE: Request Section Management Panel
@alexpacio2013 said in Request Section Management Panel:
asking you why Sketchup has never created a panel for managing sections
Probably because they have the Ruby API that allows people to extend SketchUp to suits their needs

RE: [Code] realign UVs, or: convert projective to affine
@chris341 If you feel like sharing the file, or a portion that fails, we could take a look.
If you allow the SketchUp exporter to triangulate its prone to generate lots of little textures. Normally triangulating the mesh then exporting selection works.

Did you try triangulating the SketchUp mesh prior to export?
