Look into "World engine" I don't know much about it but I think it's worth checking out

Pretty cool . .but I'm holding out for Marvel vs. Downton Abbey.

Intriguing idea but way beyond what I use a PC for.

What's probably causing it is this:
C:/Program Files/e-on software/LumenRT 4 Studio/LumenRT/Export/Skp/Ruby/extend_string
[The string might be curtailed by the error-report ? it probably ends with .rb or .rbs ??]
Which is probably failing to load in a 'require'...

Does it exist ?
Is that path in the $: ?
What plugin is trying to load it ?
Do you have a 'LumenRT' plugin/extension loading from one of your Plugins folders ? - if so try Disabling it in the SketchUcation Manager and restart SketchUp...
The Extensions Manager has a combined list of all Extensions, irrespective of their loading RB's location.
If you have multiple Plugins folders setup remember to use the dropdown list in the Plugins Manager, as these are listed separately 'by-folder'...

Can you type $: in the Ruby Console to see the array of available folders, from which other Ruby's can 'required'...
If the C:/Program Files/e-on software/LumenRT 4 Studio/LumenRT/Export/Skp/Ruby folder is NOT there it cannot require/load a file like ' extend_string.rb'

Have you recently messed about with the LumenRT installation ?

There is a filter in the GMIC package for Gimp that does this. It is called inPainting, I think.

CadJunkie has a bunch - a few for free, and mostly for 601 it looks like: http://cadjunkie.com/modo

4 km long comet, 100 kg robot lander, 510 million km from earth. And according to BBC "The landing caps a 6.4 billion-kilometre journey that was begun a decade ago."

This is serious skilz. Good luck everyone!

I look at things quite simply because I am not a trained architect and cannot calim to be talking from 'knowledge'. I simply ask myself if the different styling cues add to the building either in looks or strength and if I cannot find any of those on the internet, dismiss it. As long as it does not detract from the basic ability to perform the job intended of it.

Yeah, the characters are just horrible. Wish they had a character studio where you could quickly customize them and then load various BIP files to make them do what you want. What am I seriously going to do with that push up guy???

No matter how I try to view any page on the website, typed directly or via google search I get this, on FF, Chrome and IE.

Oh yeah, don't worry about subscription!
It'll be a one-time purchase granting you a license valid forever. All the 1.x updates will be free.

Then one day if there is a v2, it might be a paid upgrade (or maybe not, we'll see)

Great! Subscriptions are the devils work that always seem to go wrong!

Funny thing is I just completed a zoo job in the north west (will post images once they complete a press kit)

you're right. I mis-spoke. never mind.

Thanks

Although the blog you posted are about playing The Sims, it's very similar with Minecraft...
I'm amazed by the fantasy my kids have when building various kind of houses...
(though... they tend to make the kids rooms bigger than the master bedroom... 😐 )

LumenRT 2015 is fully compatible with SU 2015.

Just copy the plugin over from 2014 to
2015:

"C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins\LumenRT 2015.rbs"

"C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins\LumenRT 2015.rbs"

So envious of your talents. Beautiful!

Actually all the models are separate skp's so I want to render them all from the same view, ...

Actually the correct protocol would be to create a template skp with the desired view.

Then use that template to create the model skps.

Then it will take taxes. You don't get something for nothing. I just think it is good for people to get paid for their work, best if it can be done without bake sales and more taxes. I agree the choices we make should not have to be "incentivized". I think a workable economic solution will spread more quickly, since it will not depend on governments to move forward and do more good.

Regulation, Carbon tax, cap and trade are ways to do as you say and make us pay as we go for pollution and consumption, because apparently the market can't achieve that. I am not against that either. Again it takes governments to do it. Some like Europe will do it more than others.
