Thomas was is aware of the incompatibility with 2025.

For some reason I am drawn to the material. So much so I ended up look for real world interior shots. My first thought was some type of galvanised steel.

You actually mimicked camera positions of photographs!

House with One Wall / Christian Kerez

Completed in 2007 in Zurich, Switzerland. Images by Walter Mair. A two-family house is a building with a wall that divides it into two halves. The dividing wall is the only wall in the entire house. It cannot be...

If you jump between real world shots and your renders its nuts!

@erikcoleman1992 Install Sketchucation Tools 4.4.1

Sketchucation Tools | SketchUcation

3D SketchUp Community for Design and Engineering Professionals.

(sketchucation.com)

Then use that to install/update extensions.

Restart SketchUp to complete installations fully.

Fredo's extension require Libfredo to fully function

Give it a name aka Plugin Identifier in this instance ViewportBuster

Was really needed to rename New to Recent?

We didn't rename anything. Its the newer software's naming convention. We will take a look at URL slug

@rv1974 said in NEW Forum Software Issues:

I'd prefer 'edit' pencil button not to be buried in dropbox menu

So would I....will see if there's an option to customise button positions

What happened to private messaging? (and how can I see my old ones)?

We still have the older forum. Private messages are not capable to be migrated so we'll provide a means to download your messages to CSV once we finish resolving issues here.

Just when you think 'I can render' the legend returns and reminds me that I can't.

The attention the detail is insane. I'm in awe

At nearly 400k entities I think you are asking a bit too much of SketchUp.

That step relief would be much more performant as a texture. Or you need to drastically reduce the amount of geometry by a factor of 100.

If the end goal is rendering then a subdividing face and displacement would be the way to go.

Or pull the geometry that is the pattern and work to that as it at least under 60k entities.

@FlorinAp
I love this

@gullfo That's the plan. The software itself is pretty barebones to begin with. So we will build it out as we go.

We need a more forward facing approach to a users setup because I don't want to have to visit an About Me section every time I need to know info.

@massimo I'm gonna try this in Rayscaper. It uses the newer PBR disney shader and I wonder how it handles glass when you apply real world properties to both geometry and the shader.

It has a classic glass shader along with the 'Fast' glass. But when I see how Thea produced such accurate results it would be interesting to see.

Thanks for sharing that. The glass reflections really were on point in your renders and now I can see why.

Use the cardinal point to create the tapered cylinder...

Use Quadface Tools to add some loops...

Use Smoove to bend

Or TrueBend for precision

Vibe-coding as you iterate through ideas. It's interesting little tool. Nice job to you both

If you use a more conventional extension setup the Plugins folder root .rb file would have something like this...

require 'sketchup.rb'
require 'extensions.rb'

module JujuSKP
  module JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial

    unless file_loaded?(__FILE__)
      ex = SketchupExtension.new('Select By Material', 'JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial/main.rb')
      ex.description = 'Your description'
      ex.version     = '1.0'
      ex.copyright   = 'JujuSKP © 2025'
      ex.creator     = 'JujuSKP'
      Sketchup.register_extension(ex, true)
      file_loaded(__FILE__)
    end

  end # module JujuSKP
end # module JujuSKP_SelectByMaterial

Poke around your own plugins folder too see how others a packing extensions.

@gullfo I am thinking we stick it in here...

Discreet and easily accessible. Hopefully as easy to do as it is to type it.

At this point I'm convinced your trying to make the Wizard of Oz machine...

Great modelling but why no Ambient Occlusion style?

@Gus-R Now you're just showing off with the McTwist

@adinterieur said in simple extension to somehow import scenes in twinmotion:

I'm going to have to face the fact i am a goddamn moron...

That's something we all struggle with.... welcome to the club

Is it really this easy?

Can you try this on the threads you want to ignore?

@Dave-R Nothing comes close to SketchUp for native screenshots. Even minus shadows it's so easy to read the drawing.

No, TrueBend will generate the internal loops it needs to do the bending. So that's probably the most efficient method.

I only used QFT to help me cut loops so Smoove would work.
