Sorry Dave, only just seen this. Yes setting to multiply but the missing part was to turn off the transparency in options before export.

thank you - yes it is yellow. I wondered if it was anything special about the model but it isn't

thanks again

Hi,

why is the bounding box yellow in this model?

thank you

Thanks Jeff

I went with white objects and in PS I set the layer to multiply. Works well overall

<edit> yes I was following the tutorial incorrectly. Nice to find out this stuff though

Thanks again

Thank you. At least I know that it is not possible to export shadows only with a transparent background on a Mac without a plugin

Thanks again

I am following this http://www.ronenbekerman.com/making-of-urban-plaza/

Thanks. I am on a Mac.

I wanted to just export shadows only with a transparent background.

Do you have a copy of the skp you have used for the .png? I have exported to png (transparency) which is where the object was visible.

thanks

thanks John,

can do but wondered if there was a way of managing it in SU

still struggling with this one. If I export to png or tiff for a transparent background then I end up with the box again as this is not transparent. Is it possible to export with a transparent background?

thanks

thank you for taking the time to look at this and thanks for the answer

thanks. Model attached (its just a box)

thanks again

shadows only.skp

thanks for the reply. Unchecking on faces has the same result

Hi,

I followed some posts on just exporting shadows:

Shadows only": View>Face style>Monochrome; View>Edge style>Uncheck all; Shadow settings dialog, Light 100, Dark 0, Shadows on; Window>Styles>Face settings, set the default colour for both Front and Back faces to pure white. If you want to show transparency, put all transparent objects on a different layer and turn that off.

I end up with the following screenshot. Any ideas what I am missing?

thanks

thank you for the help

On the attached image I get 3 lines created at the top of the opening instead of 1. Even when I play around with it I still get 3. Why would that be?

thank you

Thank you. I appreciate they are different but it gives me a good starting point.

thanks again for the help

thanks the plist is empty. Could someone please attach a Shortcuts.plist so I can replace mine?

thanks again

Thanks

when I reset it clears the shortcuts. I pressed reset and lost everything. Pressing reset now does nothing.

any ideas?

thanks

Hi I reset the shortcut keys by accident. Is there a way to get them back and if not does anyone have a shortcut.plist that I can use

thank you
