All the solutions that we have come across redraw the SU model in another program. I really thought that with the on-line version they would have come up with something sooner. I can't believe this was 7 years ago. It must be complicated with a major stumbling block otherwise one of the DC guys would be on it like a shot, a big market in my eyes. Good luck with your models.

Hypercosm is now freeware and hasn't been updated since 2011, they are looking for partners but I think tech has moved on.
3DVia looks more promising and I am waiting for a reply from them.

Thanks Tig.
I shall look into this further.

Thanks Krisidious
I shall take a look and keep you posted.

For example a pergola for a garden, we have a DC that changes the length, the width, the height, the end shape of the rails etc. While we can do this in SketchUp our goal would be to be able to do this inside a browser so that a customer could self configure the exact size and shape they want and have a price instantly, along the lines of the two examples, Driveworks canopy is a great example.
I guess I am asking for the "scant chance of doing it all 'outside of SketchUp' without custom coding in the extreme" option.
Do others have an interest in this?

I would dearly like any news or your thoughts upon the likelihood or otherwise of being able to create a product configurator embedded in a web page from a dynamic component made in SketchUp.

Notable examples are DriveWorks pro with Solidworks and 360 configurator with inventor but too expensive for us unfortunately unless we could find a bureau service.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to create a custom menu to open our range of dynamic components in SU 2013. We have a number of dynamic components e.g. a pergola and I want to create a menu that is hard coded to the server so that everyone uses the latest version of each file. It sound so simple but I can't find Any info on how to go about it.
All suggestions gratefully received.

Panga E-on forums are back up now.
You can also open a ticket to the feedback center.
Hope that helps.

Just got Microsoft Kinect to navigate around my latest model in LumenRT with guestures only!
It works really well IMHO.
I shall test and maybe change some of the gestures.
Nice program! Well done e-onsoftware.
Has anyone else hacked the Kinect for the PC?

It seems that QuadroFX cards are not supported ! I tried to launch one of the boxes available for download on their website, and it's not workink with my Quadro FX 1800...

I have no problem and use a Quadro FX 1700. I do have 8meg of ram. It works beautifully for me. All the models I have rendered are acceptable most really good. Beware high quality can take an age. Plants need to be low polygon.
I will definately use this as part of my SU Vue Max pipeline. I would like a range of materials that can be applied in SU, work really well in LumenRT and then translate to Vue materials when imported into Vue so you really get continuity.
I hope that is of interest.
