I did a few more tests and I figured out what the problem is :

I used to try to overwrite the active file from v2016 to save it as v8 through the plugin-> Same name (Format : %model).

However, when I added some other character (Format: %model_V8), meaning that it saves as another file, this works perfectly, and Lumion reads the file flawlessly.

So, the real issue is : Can we FORCE the plugin to overwrite the current and active SKP v16 file in order to make it v8 ?

Thank you.

EDIT : Indeed, I just had to change the "Sketchup.active_model.save_copy" to "Sketchup.active_model.save". Now it works PERFECTLY !
PROBLEM SOLVED ! THANKSSS !

I suspect your Lumion plugin needs you to re-save so it can 'tag' all your materials.
if the plugin isn't in v16 it would not have done that for you...

does Lumion have a v16 version?

The latest Lumion version is 6.0, and shows the same issue. The SKP file must be saved as v8.
When I save it from Sketchup 2016 manually, it works perfectly.
However, I thought that this plugin would make me save some time, using a simple shortcut.

I'd be really glad if this finally works !

Edit : Lumion reads the sketchup file directly.

Did you check the issue and found a solution for that problem ?

Hello Everyone !

However, it's not working with SU 2016.

It is working for me - what is not working for you?

When I use it, the plugin changes the file's version number back to 8.0.1 and I can open it correctly in Sketchup 8.

However, I use Lumion, and he cannot read the file until I save it manually as version 8.

Moreover, when I use the plugin, it seems to change only the version number, and not re-saving the file completely, which takes much more time when I test that manually on heavy files.

Hello Everyone !

Today, I finally decided to start using Sketchup 2016 instead of Sketchup 8, and I discovered this WONDERFUL plugin.

However, it's not working with SU 2016.

Thank you for updating it, we'll be really grateful !

Cheers !

Thank you guys! That´s working !

Hello Eveyone !

First of all I want to congragulate all of you for making this fantastic forum !

I need your help to make a sofa with no angle in it following this steps :

1- Make a cube
2- Delete all faces, 2 coplanar horizontal edges and keep only 2 vertical edges.
3- Transform it in a round angles polyline with an offset of 25 cm.
4- Generate "skin" or "mesh" from this contour.

This last step is an issue, I tried to do it with "Make faces", "Skin Soap and Bubble", "Curviloft" and "Add faces" but none of them works .

How could I do it ?

Thank you for helping me !

The X-ing problem is back again !

Did you test it ?
Now when I select a pattern it closes the window, so I have to reopen to adjust settings and if I select another pattern it's the same.

That's alright ! Thank you !

Hello Everyone !

First of all, thank you for the great job you did to bring us that tool.

However, I have an issue : I wanted to be able to run it through a toolbar button (which I successfully did, but when I close the FG window the button is still activated and if I try to run it again the FG window doesnt show up anymore (even if I use other tools after that).

Could you please help me to fix it ?
